"I did white Deborah Lippmann mani on myself that lasted 10 days. Have been loyal to that brand ever since. White always chips on the first day, right? Was thinking about entering into the Guinness Book for longest white mani on record. I think what made it last was applying cuticle oil all over the nail every night. Keeps any mani from chipping." —erikav45ec8d5ad

Get it here for $20.

5. Orly Bonder base coat.

Orly Bonder rubberized base coat is amazing. It dries tacky, so it helps the polish stick to your nails better. My nail color stays put for over a week when I use it!" —Vilma Sanchez-Vega, Facebook

Get it here for $10.

6. Seche Vite topcoat.

9. Butter London

@alicerd__ / Via instagram.com

Get it here for $15.

10. Julep

@morganlschadegg / Via instagram.com

"I love their polish and with a color alone, it will usually last at least week, but with the Oxygen Bonding base coat and top coat, it can last 10-14 days without chipping. It all dries SO fast, and the Lavender Quick Dry Drops actually do help. I can re-do my nails in literally 15 minutes from the start of old polish remover to totally dry fresh polish with base/2 color/top coats. It's also vegan and 5-free* and their whole organization is dedicated to supporting women." —annalana
