Nars polishes wear quite long, but on the hands chipping is inevitable I think whatever the brand. Maybe Zoya or Deborah Lippmann ? I have Mermaid's Dream, across the Universe and Ray of light from DL so the texture is very good esp. for the the 1st and 2nd ones. Zoya is really great, but micro chipping is possible too.
I haven't tried Illamasqua yet, I love their packagings but I initially would like 2 blushes and no nail polish yet. Their nail polishes look great, I'll try the brand as soon as my wallet is ok for that !
Kiko is clearly an European brand, their quads are great and not expensive at all, their nail polish set costs around 19 € ( 8 nail polishes ) so I guess it's worth the price ! They have regular polishes and holographic ones, but every nail polish addict says it's not so good as the holographic Fnug ones

I really recommand Nars because it's classy, long-wearing, not irritating and good rated on pro blogs ( US blogs mainly ). Their colour range is not a huge one but each shade matchs a collection, that's why. I am not fussy either I love many brands, Zoya among them, it applies so easily and wears long, easy to remove too.
Have you watched the video I posted ? It's really about the perfect manicure and Chanel expert explains how to obtain it !
