    Default Toenail polish chipping on stage

    Someone help me....

    No matter how many coats of top coat I put on, as soon as I'm on stage my big toenail is fucked up. The polish chips right off because of my stage work. I'm guessing it's the crawling around on the floor. I don't think I drag my nail across the floor, but who knows. Anyway, I paid $75 for a polymer overlay manicure, which I thought would last...nope. The polymer overlay chipped off and was obvious since the polymer stuff glows in the blacklight. Grrrrrr....I've said fuck it and just painted them clear, but then I have dirty toenails and we all know how popular a look that is. Does anyone have any secrets to keeping it on? I need my polish!!!

    I suffer from the same dilema! I use Sally Hanson's Diamond-shine, and it helps them resist chipping through floor work a lil longer.

    Not 100% effective, as I "get down" on the floor sometines, lol but, I do know it helps.

    My solution is to keep my toenails really short. I get them done every two weeks. I have to make sure they understand that I want my nails SHORT. After they trim and file I check to make sure they are short enough.

    If I go longer than 2 weeks sometimes the color on the edge of the big toe will wear off. This doesn't happen often but I can make it last a couple more days if I have to by going over them with a gitter polish. It distracts from the chip and I get so many compliments on stage.

    what about using those fake acrylic or whatever toe-nails? i saw some press ons for feet at wal-mart, although i didn't look very much at it. but maybe salons offer it as well? but, i guess a cracked acrylic wouldn't be any better than chipped polish, it just seems like it might be stronger.

    I have been using Sally Hansen No Chip 10 day nail color. I only keep it on for one week before I redo them but so far no chipping during that time.

    This happens to me all the time. When I'm on my knees my toes hit the floor. I always get a light color so it's not so noticeable.
