Best long-lasting nail polish brands for holiday without using gel

5 replies

FeelingSadToday1 · 17/05/2026 20:58

I am going on holiday in a week and want some nail polish that doesnt chip. I work in a role where I can't have gel nails so need something that doesn't immediately chip and look rubbish. I am happy to pay ££ for something good!

Any suggestions?

If you get La seche vite top coat that can make any nail varnish longer lasting but also it dries quickly (does what it says on le tin!)

Manucurist.

I was going to say manucurist too. I’ve had cc a couple of bottles courtesy of my beauty box and I really rate them for longevity.

I tried this yesterday and I am blown away by how quickly this dried! The wear I don’t know yet as it’s fresh on but even if it does chip quickly, the application was so quick and easy I would be happy to re do when required.

Thank you for the recommendation ☺️
