Chances are that few days after getting a well-deserved manicure and pedicure, and after digging in your purses for your iPhones and notebooks, your nails are predictably trashed.

But luckily, there’s a two-minute fix that camouflages chips without having to start a whole new manicure from scratch.

The trick? A glitter topcoat. Just paint it on right over your chipped polish for an instant fix.

The chunkier the glitter, the better this works — so try one with larger flakes. Not only do the sparkly bits fill in polish dings, but the light catching effect also helps distract from any imperfections in your base colour.
