Is there a normal nail polish that lasts amazingly without me having to Shellac-ish?!

I'm looking for dark red - chip proof for busy hands! I always under/over coat but still struggle to keep chip free?

. all normal polish will chip esp with busy hands bt u could try getting each coat dry completely before applying another so that your polish is not one 'lump'. try buying from salons or salon brands like ESSIE

Most (except Chanel) last a week for me if I use Seche Vite top coat. If I use a different one I get 3-4 days.

Any polish but use No 7 Stay Perfect top coat.

I'd highly recommend OPI I am a nail technician and this is my polish of choice when working with customers! The colours are bright and don't fade and you can buy a product called chip skip that goes below the base coat. This is a nail primer and removes any oil from the nail making it last much longer! Hope this helps! Please feel free to get in touch for any more info! xxx
