Long-Lasting French Manicure: Tips & Alternatives

Question
Hi, I have natural strong nails, but would love them to be french polished. Everytime I have the professionally done, they only last about 3 days before chipping. Is there any method of keeping my natural nails, but finding a permanent nail polish to keep tips white? I dont really like acrylic nails.
Thanks for your help

Unfortunately, besides enhancements such as acrylic or gel there is no other way to have permanent french. But there is some ways to make you polish last longer. To start with be sure to have your nails perfectly clean before applying the polish, cleanse the with acetone even thow you haven't got any polish on. Then use a base coat, this step is very important but is constantly neglected. Then polish the white as thinly as possible, thick layers chip more easily. Then apply the top gloss and allow to dry. And the final secret is to use cuticle oil daily. Using all these trick your french should last up to one week.
