Preventing nail polish from chipping

[campermom]

I need all the secrets and hacks. But starting with the very basics.

I start with a clear coat then usually Essie brand and then a top coat. Am I doing this right?

Depending on what I'm using some are chipping in one day.

What are the best top coats?

I find that wrapping the tips with nail polish and doing the same with top
coat helps a lot. I like Seche Vite. You apply it while the polish is still wet. The Zoya top coat is good too.

Essie chips on me more than any brand probably. It seems to vary a lot for
people though, might have something to do with body chemistry.

Also if you look up JessFace90’s channel on YouTube she has some nail care and painting videos (look for tips playlist if you don’t want to scroll through her uploads) that might help with the basics
