How to stop Nail polish chipping off

Image
Hey there my Sweet Readers! Today's Question was to recommend a good base coat to protect nails, my follower Sidrah.N did try a few but they ended up chipping the nail polish in a day..Her nail polish never lasted long...She has used Sweet Touch and Medora. And she would like to know if there is a top coat that can help keep nail polishes lasting longer?  What i Do  for nails; i really don't use any base coat because i don't apply dark nail polishes, dark nail polishes are more likely to stain your nails..so what i do is just buffer my nails before applying nail color. and make sure i don't put on heavy coats of nail polish..if i apply heavy coats it surely chips off the next day :(  What do you use to make your nail polish last longer? Share your experience, we would love to hear it..and it surely would be helpful to us all! If you want to ask any question, feel free to ask ShyCheeeks..hope i'll be of some help! Will be waiting for your comments/ questions/ opinio...

'Suggest any good Makeup Brushes available in Pakistan' I would say, try getting your hands on Kryolan Brushes..they use Sable Bristles, which are very soft and perfect for personal and professional makeup application..and i've heard professional salon people call Kryolan brushes comparable to MAC Brushes..I know a kryolan shop in Karachi, i can tell you the address if anyones interested.
