Okay, almost nobody else notices but you. Still it annoys me to have chipped nails. They're sharp, they're ugly, and most important of all - the chip may be very deep into your nail which means it will take a lotttt of time before it grows back to the perfect length again. And of courseeee the chips comes right at the moment when your nails look great! So, here are some tips to save you the trouble of cutting your nails too short or making the chip even worse.
* use a nail file (the ones made from paper/carton 'cause they don't trim too much of your nail!) to trim your nail. Do this carefully, since you don't want to get too close to the beginning of the chip (you'll be stuck with half a nail ready to be ripped off - - ouch!)
*file your nail round, not square. This will make it easier for your nail to grow. If you decide to square it, it's more likely to chip once again - and hey, then you're repeating the process!
*put on a tiny bit of fake nail glue on the left over chip (the cheapest kind should be around the 2 euros). Make sure it really is a tiny bit!
let this dry and then file your nail carefully again. Just to smoothen out the glue-layer.
*put on a clear coat of (strengthening) nail polish.
Be careful with zippers, leggings, and anything else harmful to your chip! It really sucks (and hurts!) if the chip gets worse.
If this all didn't work, you should try a band-aid so the chip is covered for a while.
