I haven't painted my nails a colour, especially not a dark colour, since high school when I think I owned every odd colour you could imagine (brown, green, burgundy, neon pink, etc.) I stopped wearing colours when I got a job in a restaurant at 15 and was no longer allowed to. I'm just now realizing why I decided to just keep things simple after that. Nail polish is super hard to keep nice and chip-free.
Every time I wash my hands or go do yard work my nail job starts to disintegrate. Boo. I even went through the hassle of doing a base coat and a top coat. Ah well. For now I'll just keep touching it up until I get sick of it. Then I'll have blue-stained nails for a while, but I guess I'm okay with that. Note to self: stick to colourful stuff on the toes only. Finger nails just aren't worth it.
