I have had clients that do amazingly well with regular nail polish (and yes even when they polish in between their manicure appointments) and then I have had other clients not so well.
This is not really a yes or no question for several reasons.
If you have nail issues such as peeling edges, really dry nails, soft nails etc. then it doesn't make any difference who polishes your nails it will be a challenge keeping anything on your nails.
Also how you use your nails for doing things (you know like the post about-your nails are jewels not tools) can have a huge impact on how long your polish may last.
Think of it as a painting, if you don't start with a good canvas.......and well you know the rest ;-)
If your polish doesn't seem to last very long a good nail strengthener and cuticle oil is the best place to start and once you get your nails in the best shape possible then I think you will have better results no matter who polishes your nails.
How ever I do believe that when someone else is doing your nails they are getting a better look at the ends of your nails and will be more likely to completely cover the tips of your nail (the free edges) with the product which is the first thing that will start to come off.
So if you are going to do your own nails keep this in mind and make sure you get that free edge covered really good.
But if you do have problem peeling nails see the post on the three way buffer post here it will help you get started. It's just a little tip to help with the peeling until your new nail grows out.
Which do you think last longer a salon manicure or at home manicure?
