Fix Chipped Nail Polish

What could be more annoying than chipping your nails right after a fresh manicure?





Some quick fixes:
For the beginner (or time-deprived): Use a toothpick as your "brush" to dot on polish to the inside of the chip. Then simply allow it to dry.

For the intermediate: Apply polish remover to the pad of one of your fingertips (it's easiest to go with the hand opposite of the one with the chip). Then, using a circular motion, dab the remover-soaked fingertip on the chip to gently smooth it out. Once dry, fill any exposed nail areas with polish. Finish by sweeping on a fresh coat of lacquer over the entire nail to set. Tip: in lieu of using polish remover to diffuse jagged edges, you can always sand over the chip with a nail buffer.

Lastly, a glitter topcoat. Just paint it on right over your chipped polish for an instant fix. The chunkier the glitter, the better this works

You could also add another layer over your fix just to make it look more consistent.
