Why I Don’t Leave Home with Chipped Nails
We’ve all been out when the worst happens. A nail chips and you want to curl into a ball and die, praying no one will see you.
Okay, so obviously that statement is a little dramatic. I’ll run to the store with chipped nails. I’ll pull through a drive-thru. I’ll run to the bank. But what I mean is I don’t go out with chipped nails. I don’t go to work, dinner, drinks with friends and so on with chips. And the reason why is because it looks sloppy.
Now let me make this clear. I don’t judge you for having chipped nails. But hear me out. You wouldn’t go to work without looking presentable, would you? Now, you might meet friends for drinks or dinner a little more casual, but I assume you probably put in a little effort to your hair and makeup.
Manicures are meant to make you look more polished. Put together. Clean. Chips, in my opinion, give the opposite impression. If your manicure is badly chipped and you don’t have the time to redo it, simply remove it.
I know for a fact people seeing a Joey out in the wild without nail polish is like seeing a dog walk on its hind legs, but I’d much prefer the are you feeling okays to appearing sloppy.
I’m a super casual person. I don’t have to dress professionally for work. I’m not talented in the whole fashion department, either. There are a few things I can do to compensate for my lack of style. I can do my hair. I can throw on a splash of makeup. And I can rock a killer mani.
