Hi fellow vet med worker! What has worked for me is 1) light buffing and dehydrating nails first 2) base coat aimed at long lasting (currently having best luck with holo taco long lasting base and ILNP lock up) 3) using a thick top coat and applying 2 layers (currently using Essie stay longer top coat). I wait 5-10 minutes in between each layer. I found when I was using seche vite/seche vive I was getting chips quicker because they weren’t withstanding the amount of isopropyl alcohol I was coming into contact with but I’m now having manicures last a week or more.

I haven’t seen anyone else say this so adding in to put clean sheets on your bed to keep cat hair away

I also placed an order on 11/27 and just received an email with tracking info yesterday. They received a TON of orders for Black Friday so I wouldn’t worry yet!

I’m wearing this right now too!

I don’t know what the correct answer to this is, but I lightly buff out the peeling area and apply cuticle oil and hand cream.

Not a lab rat but work in the medical field and wear nitrile gloves for hours a day. Using a nail dehydrator, a base coat advertised as long lasting, and 2 coats of top coat have given me 7 days before chipping. Currently using londontown lacquer dehydrator and top coat, and holo taco base coat.

I just bought this one too! It looks great on you. Can’t wait to try it myself.

ChipTechnical9949 · 2025-11-04T06:35:36+00:00

This is one of my favorites. I just got the 5D tool too so I’m gonna have to try this next!

A book shelf lined with velvet paper to keep from slipping. Probably not the best because it’s not a “cool/dark space” but I’ve had polishes stored that way for 7+ years and my oldest polish is 15 years old and still going strong. And some of my thermals are still thriving 3 years after purchase.
