1) Before you apply polish to natural nails, always wipe them with nail polish remover to eliminate any leftover oils that prevent polish from "sticking."
2) Use a base coat or strengthener, like Sally Hansen Nailgrowth Miracle, on your bare nail before applying nail color.
3) Paint a stripe down the center of the nail with your favorite shade of Sally Hansen nail color, followed by one stroke on either side. This covers the nail with the thinnest possible layer of polish. Always finish with a protective coating — the secret to preventing chipping! Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat dries any nail color with a no-chip shine for up to 10 days.
