Opi or Orly are my faves. I don't like the quick drying stuff either because I also take a very long time to paint my nails and toes. I do very thin coats and let them dry about ten minutes before applying the subsequent coats. I find my nails do not chip nor smudge with this method.
It also keeps my hands busy while watching DVDs so I'm not fondling the salt-n-vinegar chips!

id suggest a base coat, i use sally hansen, then two coats of opi, followed by the NYC nail glossies top coat, i promise it wont chip. dont want to pay $8 for a bottle of opi? then you can substitute a diiferent brand but it wont be quite as durable.

Opi for sure. You want to get a clear coat and go over and just a bit under the tips. It helps prevent chipping.

I love the Sally Hansen no chip. I didn't have time for a pedi two weeks ago before vacation so I ran out and bought the no chip. It's still perfect! I'm so happy with it.

I tend to favor OPI over any other brand. Like Essie too, but it tends to chip on me for some reason.

Try Instant Manicure from AVON. It is nail enamel, but applies dry. It lasts for 2 weeks on my nails and I type ALL day long in my job, plus have 3 kids that I clean up after daily 
It is awesome stuff, and not hard at all to get the hang of! |

I use the dry spray on my nails after I polish and have no problems. I only wear clear on my fingers, and always Ruby Red toes....they don't look like my feet without the red toes.
