Back in 2008, the New York Times reported that chipped manicures were a hot new trend, but the look faded from popularity before it had a chance to go mainstream. Fast forward to 2010 and the chipped manicure once again made waves in Europe after being sported in saucy shades of red by the editors of Vogue and Elle and on this side of the pond by Tibi designer, Amy Smilovic. Ms. Smilovic went so far as to post her inspiration for the look on the Tibi Facebook page with pictures of a mangled mani she paid for at a nail salon and news quickly trickled down to several fashion blogs. It is unlikely that this look will ever truly catch on outside of the punk/goth scene, but stylish celebrities such as Taylor Momsen, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus and Jessica Simpson have already been caught rocking this trend – though whether they are intentionally going for this look or are in serious need of a proper manicure is unclear. However, keep in mind -- a flawless manicure will NEVER go out of style!
