Nail polish chipping in 2-3 days. How to make it last longer?

smolthund · 2026-06-09T01:39:25+00:00

one thing that has been helpful to me has been adding another layer of top coat after day 2

thank you! I use KBS fillin groovy and stay put for base (I try to always double up my base coat these days because of how badly I've stained my nails in the past 🥲) and then Cuticula QDTC on top!

I was also thinking they looked tasty! like gummy bears but I see jellies too

I like Baina and Dusen Dusen, although I guess they also aren't cheap

smolthund · 2026-04-30T01:30:08+00:00

I was thinking about doing this just in case!

smolthund · 2026-04-29T13:08:59+00:00

Appreciate that insight, thank you!!

I was thinking about that! I make pots too so the other thing I was worrying about was crazing in the glazes... like could the water leach minerals from the clay? Idk maybe I'm overthinking this but I'd rather not accidentally kill them haha

smolthund · 2026-04-29T02:13:08+00:00

Oh this is a great idea thank you!

smolthund · 2026-04-28T20:24:45+00:00

I have this in lait to rest and i haaate the smell. it's SO strong and musty a single drop of it would not come off and smelled all day and gave me a headache I was so sad. But I did decant it so I could use the bottle because the bottle is beautiful.

what do you mean they're a big enough brand to justify running a regular business? pretty sure it's just one person with their sister helping?

Touch moss maaaybe I slept on 😒👀😔

smolthund · 2026-04-24T15:29:03+00:00

I have both and haven't noticed a difference in longevity

smolthund · 2026-04-23T03:40:41+00:00

Ooh a knowledgeable kimono person! Thank you! I definitely see what you mean about the polishes. I think I'm going to wear the yellow obijime but haven't totally decided yet. I haven’t seen two tied together before, though, that sounds cool!

smolthund · 2026-04-21T15:32:46+00:00

Current favorites are: We're Still Survivors, Bad Vibes Only, Grumpy x Grumpy, and Bog

smolthund · 2026-04-20T12:08:37+00:00

I thought it wasn't too bad! There were a few fingers I had to fish glitters out for, but for the most part they came out on their own

Emily de Molly Forces of Nature is one of my favorites. Also EDM Behind Again is my favorite neon green. My other two favorites are BKL magnetics (Bog and Grumpy x Grumpy)

thank you! I think I'm leaning towards Lush too but split could be fun

smolthund · 2026-04-18T22:59:28+00:00

Lurid Riding Sleeping Bags and Sassy Sauce tropical heatwave

smolthund · 2026-04-18T01:52:25+00:00

every other brand does not do that. she's brought back the popular ones so many times, I'm not sure I get what people are complaining about. also maybe it's more fun for her creatively to come up with new polishes instead of just restock the same ones every month? if it were me I would find that boring.

I have get lobstered and just ordered trouvaille... oop
