How many times have you chipped our nails just after a manicure? Did you chip your nails washing dishes or typing away furiously on the keyboard?Whatever the reason, a chipped nail can cause as much pain as a heart break.
Here are 3 ways to fix those chipped nail that almost all manicure artists swear by:
Patch it up
- This is the most hardest as you now have to get your chipped nail to blend in with the other nails. Using a cotton swab or ear bud wipe of the polish from the chipped off area. Apply a thin coat of nail polish and when it dries apply a top coat, not forgetting to put seal it at the top.
- Make sure you sure the same shade of polish as the rest of your nails.
- This is the method that is least appreciated. No one wants to reduce the size of their long nails.
If it is a small chip, this method works just fine.
- File or trim the area where the nail has chipped off and reduce the size of the remaining nails to match the affected nail. Finish off by painting a clear coat on all the nails, especially at the top. This is meant to act as a cap or seal, to prevent future chipping off.
- This is by far the easiest method to cover up a chipped nail. You can use glitter, stones or even a colorful French tip.
Add that fun element to your nails by using metallic shades and even sticking on some stickers. Be adventurous!
