Hey, the chip-in-three-days cycle is maddening, and yeah, a proper Russian manicure is a game changer for exactly those issues. I go to Why Not Nails https://whynotnails.us/ in Brooklyn and it fixed all of that for me. They specialize in the Russian manicure, the dry E-file technique with detailed cuticle work, so you get clean cuticles and better gel adhesion, and mine now lasts up to about four weeks without chipping. Big thing for your damaged-nails worry: they’re serious about nail health first, strict sterilization, and they use HEMA-free and TPO-free products only, so no more thin, irritated nails. The results are clean and long-lasting, not bulky. Book an appointment through their site and ask for the Russian manicure. Honestly the difference in how long it lasts is worth it alone.
