Some naturally experience shorter wear due to nail type and condition, and others have lifestyles that expose manicures to chips and peeling.

Although your nails will feel dry after this time, note that your nails are not completely dry for 2-3 hours after painting, so refrain from activities that could smudge your manicure in that time.
