Manicure advice

[mamadeb]

Okay. I did the manicure thing. Twice (current color is OPI "A Man in Every Portugal" - a slightly less dark red than before.) The first time, I got it done on Thursday and they were chipping by Friday night. The second time was Monday evening and the chipping started this morning.

I really like the dark colors, but it's going to look really bad by tomorrow.

What do I do to preserve my nailcolor so I only have to go once a week? Was I wrong to do the quick dry thing that I did the second time? Because it did last a bit longer. Do I buy a bottle of the nail polish? Do I do overcoats of clear?

While I'm asking - it's winter. I wear shoes and tights. I'd like to get my toenails polished. How is that managed?

Natural nails. Because I go to the mikveh, I can't have tips - can't have anything between me and the ritual bath. I'll have to get all the nailpolish removed before going, too.

Ah! That is why the polish chips so easily and so soon. It just doesn't last on natural nails.

Don't really know why that stuff keeps the polish longer, but it does. My polish usually wears off. If there is a chip, it's cause a nail was chipped or broken.
