There's a reason why I only offer dry manicure and There's a reason why I only offer dry manicure and pedicure services ... Water makes the nail plates swell and go soft. Applying nail polish on top of a damp, swollen nail plate will not last - as soon as the nail plate dries out, it will shrink under the polish, causing it to crack and chip. 

If you want long lasting polish, don't soak your nails before polish application.
