I have once again managed to stop biting my nails. So I'm trying to be good and keep them tidy and manicured. Last night I tried painting them. Every time I give myself a manicure it looks bad in about 30 seconds. They never seem to dry and of course, they end up smudged and dinged.
This is what I'm doing: I put on a basecoat (Sally Hansen's Tough as Nails since they are still a little brittle), then I put on two coats of polish, and then a top coat. I let everything dry for about 5 minutes in between.
Is it because I'm using crappy polish? Or am I just putting too much on possibly?
I have gotten manicures in the past and I never have this problem. Short of becoming an Asian nail tech, what do I do?
