Smooth down the smudged area of your manicure using your fingertip and carefully add another layer of the nail polish shade that you used earlier. It may still look a little botched, but the smudge would not be that noticeable.

Use nail polishes of 2-3 different shades and a Bobby pin or toothpick to create leopard print nail art. Or, you may even try floral patterns with dotticure. This is how you turn the flaws into beauty!

If the chipping or the smudge is on the nail tips, you can turn it into a French Manicure with a nail polish of contrasting colour.
