What do ya mean NOT BULLETPROOF?!?!?!.......heehee
No really, I know. It's just I'm hard on my hands, I guess. I don't use my nails as TOOLS, but I tend to ram them into things, unintentionally.
Any tips or pointers, other than the obvious-quit jammin' fingers...[/QUOTE

Ok thanks!
Oh No, its all GOODI didnt mean to be obvious, but youd be surprised at how many people will scrub their house all day and be surprised that the polish doesnt survive. I know when I do something like clean the car with all the cracks that I rub clean with my fingernail in a rag, it does a number on the well used ones...! I do best with slightly longer nails than what you have here, Im less likely to use them as tools unintentionally when they are a bit longer. There are the usual tips of trying structure so the nails dont bend, also check to make sure there are no peeley areas prior to adding the polish and if there are, buff them off so the polish cant lift off with the nail layer. If the polish comes off the nail you can try a bonder, but this looks more like youre damaging the nail itself and the polish is just along for the ride off ....Dont know if thats any help, but its what Ive got
Thanks for your reply! I usually wear gloves to do chores just because I'm use to it.I've always had crappy nails AND I am so rough on my hands without trying to be! So I'll try the Structure. Would an extra coat of bond on tips only do ??
So if you head over to www.redcarpetmanicure.com they now have names and dot swatches next to each of those new 18 colors!!!! Can't wait!!
Does the one on very end right hand side look like a dark green? The brown one 119 I think and the yellow one I don't think I've seen before
It also looks like they have the limited edition ones on there but with different names....lame lol

Pro-Bond is the type of product I was speaking of, pH Bond is a dehydrator. I think you will have the best luck, based on what Im seeing as chipping of the nail taking the polish with it...by buffing gently any loose spots off before application and adding a layer or two of structure. If the tips are stronger I think they will be less likely to chip your nails and polish off. If you have polish chipping off but nails left intact try the pro-bond on the tips only to improve the adhesion of the gel to the nail.
