Manicure Monday – Chip-Free at Last

I don’t often wear nail polish – even though I have tons of it – because it chips so quickly. And I feel self-conscious and slovenly with chipped nails, as if I don’t know how to groom myself. I usually can’t go 24 hours without a chip that makes me run for the nail polish remover, especially if it’s a dark or bold color.

But this manicure is 3 days old! Sure, I’ve got some tip wear, but nothing embarrassing that makes me shove my hands in my pocket. I think I found the secret combination!

Here’s what I used – Orly Bonder, coat of polish (Zoya Mimi), Orly Bonder, coat of polish, Orly Bonder, coat of polish, Orly Won’t Chip top coat, Silk Naturals All Set Drying Drops.  Sounds like a hassle but it didn’t actually take too long to apply, and I could not be happier with the results!

I am really excited about this – was it a fluke? Or did I finally achieve a chip-free mani?

I might just go crazy with the polish now. Crackle top coats, accent nails, water marbling…I’m all over it.

Have you found a chip-free solution?
