Do you use cuticle softener or any type of cream before you apply the polish?

Sometimes I think China Glaze is just crap.

Does all the expensive stuff really prevent chipping? I don't know, I use the $2 stuff you find at Walgreen's and never have chipping problems.

I don't use cream anytime before... I make sure my nails are dry, I even tried wiping them with alcohol. I don't only use expensive nail polish either
ALL my nail polish does this. Maybe my nails suck. It stays on my toes but not my fingers.

I'll try wearing gloves but the weird thing is today I didn't even do dishes and they chipped after I polished them. So weird.

Try polishing them with a thinner coat and see how that works.

China Glaze topcoat is crap! I have the Fast Foward and it made my nail polish chip so bad. I use Nutranail topcoat and it works great.
