Try a colorful French manicure. Place tape on your nail so only the tip is exposed. Then paint the tip a different color…problem solved.

On the side
Got
a chip on just the side of your nail? Use a thin paintbrush or a nail art pen
to paint a stripe over where your nail is chipped in a fun color. Use black or white for a sleek, polished look.
