How to prevent nail polish from chipping and peeling

by Melissa on May 14, 2011

To prevent nail polish from chipping, create a seal along the free edge of the nail by running the brush along the tip of the nail after each coat. Wait at least 1-2 minutes between coats to ensure good adhesion. Don’t apply the polish too thick, because the nail polish won’t dry properly and the cure will be soft and will therefore peel.
