I`m a huge fan of OPI too, I love the wide brushes and smooth application in addition to the fact it seems to last well. Apparently Zoya is a cheaper brand that is just as good and lasts even longer than OPI, I`ve only had a chance to use it once so far though so too soon to tell.
You could try a coat of OPI Chip Skip under the polish, make sure you apply a top coat, and reapply a top coat once every few days to help get the most from your manicure. Make sure there is no oil on your nails before applying the polish too, as that can increase chipping.
Make sure you don`t get polish on your cuticles as that can increase the risk of air bubbles getting trapped under the polish and increasing chipping, and when you apply the top coat, make sure you follow right through to the tips of the nail to `seal` the polish.
Also if you`re willing to go to a salon but don`t want acrylics, BioSculpture Gel manicures are applied to your own nails an apparently last quite a while without chipping or peeling…
There is also some new type of manicure thats almost like shrink-wrap for your nails, I forget the name, but it sounded a bit fiddly so I`d go with the other options for now!
Phew, sorry for the long post, hope that helps though 😛
