Best nail polish...

Having had my poor nails ruined by an overly enthusiatic gel manicurist I've spent the last two months nursing them back to health! And am really reluctant to go back to gel nails.

BUT obviously I liked the long lasting nature of gels and I am a bit clueless where to start with nail polishes. Any suggestions for long lasting nail polishes that I can apply at home? I'm quite heavy handed but equally am currently only getting 2 days or so from the Rimmel super gel polish that I've tried.

Thanks all. Went for a SV top coat and some new opi colours. Should be arriving this week!

@harriethoyle how did you get on with the Opi colours and Seche Vite top coat? I’m looking at the same, want a gel-like finish without actual gels! My nail polish at the moment only lasts a day or two before chipping/peeling. Thanks!

@AtLeastThreeDrinks they're great. I'm getting 4-5 days depending on the colour with the glitter and the nudes lasting really well. Reds I get 3-4 days. MUCH better than Rimmell and saving me heaps in gel manicures! Look for a discount website to buy them from and they're not too spendy.

Oh fab, thanks so much. I’ll give them a try!
