I have been doing to solar lately too- I have red glitter tips, and damn it if I didnt break one today and since Im working all week, cant get to the salon till next week. I glued that sucker back on. I hate chips too Tish- I pick the snot out of them. It has to be oil, its all I can think of- even if i strip down with acetone, I still cant get polish to stick. BLARGH!

Once had a nasty infection cause a nail tech used a nail file on several customers (DOH!) My natural nails turned all green (overnight!) underneath the acrylic. Couldn't get rid of them quick enough. Took a few months to heal and never really had any acrylics after that anymore.
Ooops...a bit off-topic here...

Always wear rubber gloves when you have to do any cleaning or housework. I know it's a bit of a pain but it really is better for your nails. Nails absorb water, and especially if you use strong cleaners or detergents, that can really weaken them and wear down the polish. If you want to make your nails healthier and lengthen a manicure, wear rubber gloves for washing dishes and general housework.

that sucks.
i've never had that happen with OPI but i agree with you 100% on the sally hansen. i LOVE sally hansen. i don't normally wear color on my fingernails because i hate when it chips and i'm stuck at work but i never have a problem with it (s.h.) when i do.

I was sure to clean off my natural nail and the solar before I stuck it on there, lol, with some alcohol- it was only for a day- so I think Im safe- however my nail tech yelled at me too. LOL. Im far too vain for my own good!

^^ Me too girl...I haven't broken a nail in over three years and that was because I fell down the stairs...I was in so much pain... because it ripped off half my natural nail too... but I still went to the Nail shop and had her fix it and I just dealt with the pain...She didn't want to but I was persistent....So she went ahead and put another one on while I cried like a baby.

Not to get too off topic, but the last time I broke a nail, I ripped most of my real nail off too. It was winter last year, and the ground at my ex's house was a sheet of ice... when I went to open the door to his SUV, I slid and didn't fall, but the door handle slid out of my hand... ripped the nail right off. Of course he insisted on going out anyway that night, so I did the ghetto thing and grabbed a bandaid...

I love OPI, I find their polishes last a long time on my nails. China Glaze, however, I've had some trouble with. Some of their polishes peel off after only a few days. Like, I can peel off an entire "polish nail", if you know what I mean. Am I putting it on too thick maybe? I am using China Glaze Adhesive Base and No-Chip Top Coat.
