Also, try Essie brand nail polish...the stuff is a bit pricey ($8) but it's so nice and I swear even my non-dominant hand can paint like a professional due to the smooth polish consistency.
PROOF <--This is day 3 (and my job requires me to open and close prescription pill bottles all day so I would say this is pretty impressive)

A few things!
Just start painting your nails and you will figure out what works best for you eventually. I've compiled a list of helpful links/videos that I've found helpful for me.

Stripping tape:
The trick when you use stripping tape is to make sure your polish isn't old and too goopy, otherwise it will not be so crisp.

Have fun painting!
I had the same problem, and the issue was the top coat. I was using sally hansen double duty, and it just refused to dry, leaving me with the same fabric texture from my pillow.
Switching to sally hansen insta dri really helped my polish dry much faster, like within 15-20 minutes I can do whatever I want without worrying about my polish smudging.
It's something that you're going to use for every manicure, so it's worth it to get a top coat that you like and that works well. Also, sometimes drugstores have sales or coupons that can get you a better price, so check the weekly circulars for deals.
Hope this helps!
I think most rapid dry top coats are intended to be used while the polish is tacky, while I know some other no-chip/shine type top coats are meant to be used when the polish is completely dry.
Seche Vite and Out the Door are good rapid dry options. If you can't find these, then the Sally Hansen Insta Dri is pretty good too.
I swear by this topcoat.. Everyone seems to swoon over seche vite, but mine has gone goopy loopy in under two months!
I agree with the Seche Vite hate, it sucks. I love this topcoat. I'm on my 3rd bottle, it is amazing and doesn't have the peeling, shrinkage or tip wear issues.
No. Higher price does not mean less chipping. The base coat and top coat that work for you, means less chipping. Over the past year, I have gone through at least 10 base & top coats, of varying costs. I'm pretty sure I just (as in 3 days ago) found my perfect match. I swipe my nails with rubbing alcohol, use a Sally base, polish, then a Sally quick dry top coat. I am currently sporting a manicure that is FLAWLESS. $1.99 NYC polish, and it looks like gel.
