Nail polish, for many of us, is a way to feel put together but what happens when it starts to chip or peel away? Are you then less perfect, less “put-together” ? No, you’re meant to shine beautiful and we won’t let your ‘imperfect’ nails pull you into your shadows. Grace & Glamour discusses some easy tips and tricks to fix damaged nail polish so that your nails can look as stunning as they’re meant to be.
Apply a Topcoat
Applying a clear topcoat can help extend the life of your nail polish and help to cover any minor chips or cracks in your nail polish. The top coat will add a protective layer and prevent further damage to the nail polish. It will also add shine and give your manicure a fresh look. All you need to do is apply a clear topcoat over your nail polish and let it dry completely.
Use a Nail File
If you notice a small chip or peeling in your nail polish, gently file it away using a nail file. Be careful not to file too much, as this can damage your nail or remove too much polish. Instead, file in one direction to smooth out any rough edges and blend in the chip.
Touch-up with a Nail Polish Remover
If your nail polish has started to peel, that is, the damage is minor at best, you can use a small amount of nail polish remover on a cotton swab to touch up the chipped or peeled areas and smooth out the edges. This can help blend the damage and make it less noticeable.
Use Glitter, Textured, or Metallic Polish
If you have a larger chip or peeling in your nail polish, our Grace & Glamour best nail salon artists recommend using glitter or textured polish to help cover up the damage. These types of polishes can be layered over your existing polish to create a new look. They can add dimension to your nails and make it harder to notice any imperfections. These polishes are also great for adding a fun and unique touch to your nails.
Try a Nail Wrap – Nail Stickers or Decals
As a quick fix for your damaged nail polish, a nail wrap can also be considered. Nail stickers or decals are a quick and easy way to add a pop of colour and cover up any damage to your nail polish. They come in a variety of designs and styles, so you can choose the ones that match your personality and style. Simply apply the nail wrap over the damaged area and smooth it out to create a seamless finish.
Create a French Tip
Another way to mend the damage to your nail polish is to create a French tip. This can be done by using a white or nude polish to paint the tips of your nails. This will cover up any damage and create a classic, polished look.
By adhering to these simple tips and tricks, you can have your nails looking polished and fresh, no matter how much wear and tear they may encounter. Happy painting!
