Answer 1

u need a base coat before you put the

the nail polish on when you wash your hands make sure your fingernails are dry and not oily or soapy

also you need a top coat.

i use O.P.I brands you can go to a nail salon and purchase

them there their for professitionals only

Answer 2

put a clear coat over top of it.

(one that protects and is healthy for your nails)

or put 2-3 coats on. (thin)
