Nail Polish doesn't last!

So I am constantly doing new designs on my nails. Some of them I have posted. The problem is though, I use base coat, do the design, then a fast drying top coat. They usually peel off within one or two days! I want them to last much longer than that since I spend so much time doing them! Someone please help!

Have you tried prepping your nails first? Ie push cuticles and scrape, buff the natural nail and use a primer? Also you could get a easy off gel top coat, I get a good week if not longer when I do this with normal polish :) hope that helps :)

Use a good quality brand of nail polish like O.P.I and Avon. Cheaper brands tend to chip quicker.

try letting each coat of nail polish dry individually -- also, don't add a lot of nail polish on at a time (per application)

OPI gel nails, last up to 2 weeks-even 3 weeks looking freshly done. Takes 30 seconds to cure each coat and you leave with dry shiny nails or a matte look! Look around your town for someone that has the equipment..
