Utilize it in the order and your nails will not suffer from chipping: 1. Nail Envy (good nail hardener first)! 2. Nail polish color (Essie, OPI, Sally Hansen etc) 3. Chip Skip 4. Top Coat (Rapid Dry/Seche Vite) my best kept nail secret!

Awful results!!

I love OPI and I had such high hopes and wanted to love this product but it is the worst! Not only did it my nails chip within a few days but it took the top layer of my nail with it leaving my nails frail and brittle and my nails are naturally strong and healthy. Now i have to wait for my nails to ...

I've been using (and recommending) Chip Skip ever since I borrowed it from a friend about 10 years ago, prior to going on a girls only beach weekend. This stuff is amazing! As long as you follow the directions and make sure that your nails are already manicured (shaped, cuticles pushed back, etc), then all you need to do is apply a very light coat of this to each nail prior to beginning the application of your nail color. The texture is very thin, almost watery, and all you do is sweep it across each nail and it dries immediately. I like to make sure that I have specifically applied it to the outer edges of my nails since that's where the chipping begins. Once you've applied Chip Skip and 2 even coats of nail color - evenly & let them dry completely between coats, you can add your top coat. Your manicure should last at least an entire week, if not longer. The big mistake that many woman make with their nails (and then they want to unfairly blame the products), is they use their nails as tools and that's a big no-no! Also, keep your hands out of hot soapy water. I use dishwashing gloves to protect my nails when I'm cleaning up after a meal and so should you. One last thing about Chip Skip: it's only meant to be used once per week. It is dehydrating to the nail, which is how it works so well, and you don't want to do that more frequently than once weekly.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

How to get the perfect manicure: 1. Remove old polish with Expert Touch, and wash hands thoroughly; 2. Apply Chip Skip; 3. Apply Nail Envy; 4. Apply Start to Finish formaldehyde free; 5. Apply two coats of OPI classic nail lacquer; 6. Apply Start to Finish formaldehyde free. Allow each coat to dry and harden thoroughly before applying the next.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Helps polish stay on better. You apply prior to base coat. Applicator brush is not the greatest.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
