[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have started taking better care of my natural nails and have a manicure every 5 weeks when I get my hair cut and colored. In between I used cuticle remover, oil, and occasionally paint them myself.

When do you find time to paint your nails?  Every time I think about painting them I realize I have things to do that prevent me from giving them time to dry.

How do you make the polish last? I had a manicure on Thursday.  Yesterday I chipped the tip and fixed it.  Today I chipped another tip and fixed it.  I’m lucky if I get 3 or 4 days out of polish.  Am I just too hard on my hands?[/quote]

Use Dazzle Dry polish (specific brand, not everywhere carries it) at the salon. It’s regular polish (not gel) but it’s stays on very well. I get two weeks minimum out of it. I only get my nails done every two months or so.  Dazzle Dry is worth the money without destroying your nails like gel manicures. [/quote]

I was on a Dazzle Dry manicure kick for a couple of months, and it did a number on my nails - it’s not as harsh as a gel manicure (esp because your nails don’t need to be pumiced to put the polish on) but when the polish peels/chips (which on me it starts to do in under 2 weeks), it peels off the top layer of my nailbed, too. I’ve opted to get regular manicures but only use light polish, so chips aren’t as noticeable. [/quote]
