How long does it take for fingernails to grow and how long does it take for nailpolish to chip away?

Q: I’m trying to reconnect with my feminine side a bit, so I’d like to let my nails grow and repaint my nails and toenails. Last weekend my aunt noticed my nailbiting problem and painted my nails silver. That kept me from biting them and I really like how my nails are growing out a bit. I’d like them to grow out more, and I like the idea of using nail polish. What nailpolish colors are best? Like, I like reds, but maybe a few girly colors too…Also, I do alot of chores around the house, so I’ve noticed that my current silver nailpolish is really chipped. Any ideas on how to make it so the nailpolish lasts a bit longer?Any other ideas are helpful too.

A: the more you work with your hands the faster your nail polish will chip away…. and the time it takes you nails to grow depends on you and your diet like my nails grow pretty fast but they chip and break very very easily….to keep the polish on longer try using a base coat, then use the color you want, then a top coat.. usually makes mine last a few days longer…color depend on your personallity…. i like to use eye catching colors like hot pink, lime green, orange…. an easy way to choose is to match it to your the shirt your going to wear that day..
