The Best Nail Polish for a Chip-Free Manicure

Don’t let anyone tell you different—painting your nails at home and ending up with a manicure you’re proud of is a huge feat.

So when they chip the minute you conquer a load of dishes after dinner? Annoying is an understatement.

But you shouldn’t feel jaded because there are long-lasting formulas, courtesy of some of your favorite brands like essie and O.P.I, that will actually stick to your nail beds. Here, we rounded up a few bottles (in our favorite colors) we swear by for at-home chip-free manicures.
