My nail polish always chips, why does this happen and is there anything I can do to stop it?

There are two main reasons that nail polish chips: 1) oil on the nail plate prior to polishing and 2) Wear and tear on the nail. To start with the cleanest nail plate just prior to the basecoat cleanse the nail plate with ORLY's Primetime. This will remove oils and leave a residue free nail plate ready for lacquer application. To best protect the nails from wear and tear use a basecoat, ORLY's Bonder is an amazing basecoat then use 2 coats of your favorite ORLY three free lacquer and finish with a great top coat. Glosser and Polishield by ORLY are great lacquer protectors appropriate for any type of nail (Polishield is my favorite). ORLY's Triple Threat Primetime, Bonder and Polishield are a must to any nail polish wearer


                                                            


What nail Colours are in right now?
(I'm going for the Autumn/Winter trend since that is where Australia is right now) The main fashion colours for Autumn/Winter '11 are luxurious, texturised tones that add depth to an outfit. Berry tones are making a strong comeback as well as neutral tones like Pure Porcelain and Gilded Coral.

Tip 1

Nail polish thickens because air gets into the bottle and because solvents evaporate out of the bottle. To make your polish last until the last drop, always keep the neck of your nail polish bottles clean and free from build up of nail polish by rubbing with a cotton pad soaked with nail polish remover. Give the ORLY Gripper Cap an extra 1/8th turn when closing the nail polish bottle and it will ensure an air tight seal.
Tip 2
To ensure a long lasting chip free manicure always seal the free edge of your nail with your base coat, one coat of colour and your top coat. Simply run the brush along the tip of your nail to seal the edges.

Do you have weak, brittle nails that always peel at the tips? Simply brush on a very thin layer of ORLY's Brush-On Nail Glue over the white part of the nail, as if you were painting a French tip. Let dry, then top with protein and gelatin enriched Nail Defense to seal the free edge. Apply weekly for phenomenal results.

For a "red carpet worthy" shine you can't go past Flash Dry and Cuticle Oil+. When using Flash Dry wait three minutes before applying a drop to each polished nail and follow with Cuticle Oil+. For busy women on the go apply Spritz Dry in between each coat a super fast drying time!
