Please recommend long lasting polish when I do it myself.
Also if you have a good tips to help it last.
My polish usually starts peeling after 2-3 days

In my experience, it differs tremendously based on the shade. The base coat and top coat make the most difference.

Would you consider gel or dip? I find dip lasts the longest but is much harder to get off. Gel is a nice in between because it lasts longer than regular but not so hard to get off. It’s also not so expensive to get a gel starter kit-I have a Sensationail brand kit that came with the light and everything else you need for like $30 from Target. You can also get relatively inexpensive dip powder kits.

A lady at a local beauty supply store advised me to do do 2 1/2 coats - one coat, then buff (very important to help next coat adhere), polish only tips (the 1/2 coat) buff, then a full coat.
That said, peeling my polish is s/t I do a lot (as an alternative to biting) so I wear clear because it's not as visible when it chips etc. Then when it needs it I just buff & add a coat.

I use Essie base coat, then 2 coats of any Essie nail polish, and then the Essie twisted bottle top coat. The twisted bottle is supposed to go with the polish from that line, but I find it’s an amazing top coat on top of regular nail polish.

Do you know which color is similar to madamoiselle from Essie?
Also, which top coat is a basic good one? I want my polish to look very nudie and subtle.

Also depends on the brand. I use https://www.cirquecolors.com/.
Lasts 5-10 days.
Top and base coat also make a difference. I re-apply a top coat every couple of days.

Thanks everyone I’d like to try the OPI.
Which color is closest to clear. Looking for a very very slight color.
