Question
I have worn acrylic nails for years. I have had them off for 6 months and am having trouble keeping polish from chipping and peeling for longer than a day.  I have tried many brands of polish. Any suggestions?

Answer
Hi Connie-
This could be due to your nails coming off or something else. Are you on any medications or health issues? These too can contribute to the peeling.
I would suggest a good base coat or even ridge filler as a base coat. Polish then a topcoat try a uv topcoat.
I also recommend using a cuticle oil like solar oil 1x daily before bed rub on from above knuckle to tip and leave on do not wash hands. you should see a difference in about two weeks using this.
Good Luck
Amber
