When nail polish starts chipping there are only a few options for you: take it all off, swipe another coat of same-colored polish on to try to hide it, or try a contrasting color layered over top. I’m very much a contrasting-color sort-of-person since I love incorporating different textures and colors into my mani.
One of the easiest ways to fix a slightly chipped mani is by adding a French manicure tip: I love the luxe look of a gold glitter tip! {Click for photos of my version above)
Another great way is with a shiny metallic tip: so chic and polished. I love cool silver too – and this can even be accomplished with a silver metallic Sharpie you may have on hand!
My mani is just a coat of clear – and then silver Sharpie at the ends – and a topcoat. You could also do any color you want, and pair with a gold, rose gold, or other metallic-hued pen for ultra glamour!
How do you extend the life of your mani?

Genius!! I can’t believe I never thought of that. Thank you!
Thank you, Lindsay! Metallic Sharpies are so darn useful…I find myself trying them out on just about everything! š
Great post! Iāve been going a little crazy by people using āombreā as a blanket term for varying colour nails. Even worse when they are in the nail field!
Haha, I’ve heard that too lately! It’s all I can do to NOT correct them š
