Best Nail Polish brand ?? ... Which do you think wears the best ??

Yep, OPI is great, but TBH, I really find that the only way to make a nail polish last any sort of distance is to use a top coat. I know it's a pain, but I just do my nails while I'm reading in bed, and then when they're semi-dry I turn off the light and go to sleep! Only way to do it with a toddler

ETA That Revlon one that Kellie is talking about is really good too.

Revlon are I think the best, I have the standard revlon silver on my toenails without a top coat now for about 3 weeks, no chipping.

When applying the polish, flick it under the edge of the nails which really helps. And use 2 thin coats instead of a single thick coat.

Definitely two thin coats!

I'm with everyone else, Revlon is pretty good if you're not looking to spend a fortune on nail polish... I just use their regular shades, two/three thin coats, and when you do the first coat it really helps to just go along the tip of your fingernail (like almost underneath, iykwim), it 'seals' it to your nail and makes it less prone to chipping (but make sure you do it with the first coat so you can smooth it out, if you do it on your last coat you end up with a big chunk of it along the tip of your nail!).

I never use top coats unless I'm doing french tips, just to 'bond' the two together so the tip doesn't chip off. I'm too lazy heheh


OPI is also really good, they have some pretty unreal colours available too. I've also heard good things about Bloom nail polishes. HTH
