File
If a small tip of your nail seems out of place and thus making the whole hand look shabby, no need to redo all your nails again. Imagine removing the paint, reapplying of coats and drying. Phew, may not be worth it for a tiny chip. Try filing that part of the nail. To match the length with other nails file them all, while travelling to work or taking a short break.

Patch
This is the ideal method to fix the trendy nail paint which came off while you were partying hard. Buff the area where the paint has come off with a medium impact buffer. Next clear it of any dust or dirt and apply a tiny section of the matching paint on the chipped area. Let it dry completely. Now finally, reapply a fresh coat of nail paint to the entire nail. Yes, you’re done! No lengthy manicure routines anymore.

Nail Art
If you have a little bit of extra time and want to try something creative, try making innovative art on the nails. You may go funky with stripes or trendy with colour blocking.
