I don't wear it often mainly because after I painstakinly put it on (it's not one of my natural talents  ) within a day or two the polish at the tip of my nail starts wearing off. Not chipping, just wearing off so it looks like I didn't even polish the tips. I use Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Nail Coat, but that doesn't seem to help at all. Any suggestions? I'd like to hear what brand you've had the most success with and any tips you might have.

Zoya has been wildly popular on this site. A couple times a year Zoya has a free polish promotion that Peas talk about. It's a good time to try out colors you might not usually try.
I like Zoya and OPI

OPI, but honestly most polishes last better with good prep.

The new Revlon Gel Envy is amazing. Wears like gel polish but with no light and easy to remove. Got 6 days with very minimal tip wear and I type all day. Great stuff.

Zoya is my hands-down favorite. I also have some OPI, China Glaze, and Essie in my vast (250+) collection, but I definitely prefer Zoya... It's easily 3/4 of what I own. As far as top coats, I like a lot of things about Seche Vite, but hate the shrinkage. I've been using H K Girl by Glisten & Glow recently. It's not as thick or shiny as Seche Vite, but there is not shrinkage at all. |

China Glaze and OPI are my go-to's....I tried 2 Essie polishes and I didn't like how either of them went on...brush was too skinny, and it wasn't going on evenly (it was all streaky)

Zoya hands down thanks to the Peas.  I have several other brands, but I have the most of Zoya and it wears best for me. |

Zoya is my favorite. I rarely buy another brand since discovering it.

Julep hands down, it's thick and lasts a really long time.

Looks like my next purchase will be Zoya, OPI and/or China Glaze. I don't have a base coat, so the poster who said that good prep is key - would that make a noticable difference? I'm such a nail polish dork.

My favorite is whatever my dd lets me borrow for the few times I actually use it.

I'm such a nail polish dork. Yes, it makes a huge difference. I tend to buy my polish by color rather than brand and have gotten a week out of some fairly cheap brands with proper prep and re-applying top coat every couple of days. |

I rarely paint my fingernails, but I almost always have a pedicure going. I do my own, and like a previous poster mentioned, if I see a color I like I buy it regardless of brand. I have Essie, OPI and Wet n Wild among many other brands and since I use a good base coat and top coat they all last just as long as the other.
