Hello Eileen
We're so sorry to hear the product(s) hasn't met expectations.
The daily wear and tear your hands and nails go through can greatly affect polish durability, though premature chipping or peeling are also associated with applying thicker layers of our polish rather than the thin coats we recommend.
For best results with all our colours:
- Lightly buff nail surface to smooth ridges, clear excess nail oils and encourage better polish bonding
- Ensure nails and cuticles are clean, dry and clear of filings, moisturiser, nail colour or polish remover (any traces of hand cream, oils or filings will restrict polish bonding and increase the likelihood of chipping and peeling)
- Apply one thin layer of base coat and allow to dry for 2-3 minutes. You may find that you need to remove more of the polish from the brush that you might expect to ensure that a thin, even coat is applied.
- Apply one thin layer of your Nailberry nail colour. Allow to dry, then apply a second thin layer
- Once dry, finish with a layer of top coat - a top coat can prove game-changing against chips, knocks and scuffs, especially if you are using your hands a lot each day
- Allow all layers of manicure to dry for around 10-15 minutes
- Every 2-3 days, reapply top coat for added shine and chip protection.
We hope this helps though please don't hesitate to get back in touch if we can be of further assistance.
Kind regards
The Nailberry Team
