Hi Tom,
Thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear you were having trouble with chipping at the end of your nails. For this issue we would suggest to try "capping" the nail tips to lock in the color. Cap the free edge: To extend the life of your manicure, "cap" the free edge of each nail by swiping the brush horizontally across the tip. This helps to seal the polish and prevent chipping.
We do have an in depth article with further tips and tricks on our website here if you would like to review this:
