CHIPPED CHIC

Remember when ripped jeans and stockings were considered edgy? Now chipped nail polish is the latest low-maintenance fashion trend. The New York Times reports that the trend isn't just being embraced by the under 21 crowd.

According to Ji Baek, owner of The Rescue Beauty Lounge, a lot of high fashion women are “wearing perfectly-tailored clothes, they have $5,000 bags and equally fabulous shoes, but their nails are chipped and they’re saying, ‘I don’t care.’ They don’t want to be too perfect.” But, she noted, their polish “is so perfectly chipped.” This trend works in my favor since my nails are usually flecked with five-day-old polish.
