We all love the confidence that comes with a fresh manicure—but what happens when your polish starts to chip or peel? Does that mean you’re any less put together? Of course not! You’re meant to shine, and a little chipped polish isn’t going to stop you.
At Grace & Glamour, we’ve got some super easy tricks to fix damaged nail polish so that your nails stay stunning—just like you.
Quick Fixes for Chipped Nail Polish
- Apply a Clear Topcoat for Instant Shine
A clear topcoat is your best friend. It adds a protective layer, prevents further chipping, and brings back that glossy, fresh-out-of-the-salon look. Just apply a thin layer and let it dry completely.
- File It Out with a Nail File
To repair a small chip or edge, simply file it out in one direction only. Do not file so much, you just want to smooth out the chip so it can blend into your polish.
- Use Nail Polish Remover for Small Repairs
For small patches of peeling, apply a tiny bit of nail polish remover to a cotton swab and brush out the edges with gentle motions. This eases the damage and makes it much less noticeable.
- Glue It Up with Glitter or Textured Polish
Pro Tip from our Nail Artists: When a chip is too big to overlook, go for a glitter, metallic, or texture finish. Such finishes cover blemishes and update your nails with a sleek touch.
- Try Out Nail Wraps, Stickers, or Decals
Need it in an instant? Instant nail stickers or decals over broken parts. Fun shapes and will instantly make your nails resemble the new piece of artwork.
- Create a French Tip Classic
A sophisticated fix is achieved by using that chipped color to do a do-it-yourself French manicure. Paint on the white or flesh-colored polish to the tips, and your nails are tidy and utilitarian-looking.
