I've just started growing out my nails and have been using polish on them.

However, my polish chips at the tips of my nails and I think I can see the top layer of my nails coming off with it.

When I take off the polish and re apply I normally buff out the chip (to make it even).

But is this even normal? is there anything I can do to prevent it?

I don't put oil on my nails. I also have a habit of "bending" the tips of my nails website(idk to play with them?). I guess the bending may be causing bits of my nails to crack and come loose? maybe?

I don't put on a base when applying polish I just put down 2 layers of my polish and then a clear coat...

Thanks for coming to my ted talk
