Best way to prevent nail varnish chipping?

My nail polish chips within hours of putting it on- how can I make it last? I buy fairly expensive nail varnish too- don't know why it is so useless!Best way to prevent nail varnish chipping?
I use OPI polishes, and they last up to week on me before starting to look crappy. Maybe try theirs...





It's also good to use a base coat that will help the color stick. I like Stickey, by Creative Nail Design. You put it on first, give it a min or two to dry, then apply your polish. Stickey actually does have a slightly sticky feel to it when you put it on, and it really does help keep your polish on your nails.





Be sure you are using a good topcoat too. I have actually found a really cheap one that I like: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength base %26amp; top coat. If you use it as the topcoat, it adds a ton of shine to your nail color, and it also helps polish stay longer. Best of all, it helps strengthen your nails too!Best way to prevent nail varnish chipping?
I just placed an online order for Stickey, b/c I am having precisely the same chipping issues with not having my nail color last more than an hour just doing routine things.....it's annoying and a hideous waste of time and supplies constantly retouching and starting over from scratch!
