How to Make Nail Polish Last Longer

By Erin Huffstetler, About.com

Tired of painting your nails, only to have them chip soon after? Then, try this frugal trick to make your nail polish last longer:

What You Do:

Dip your nails in vinegar (white or apple cider), and allow them to dry. Then, paint as usual.

Why This Works:

Vinegar removes the natural oils from the surface of your nails, so that the polish adheres to your nails (and not the oils).
