We understand this is frustrating but in the meantime, thanks for persevering with chipped nails a little longer as you wait for the remedy. I bought a set of the Stiletto kit in April or May 2020 or so after salons had to stay closed here in Texas. With a range of pre-buffed stylish shapes to choose from, like the short square tip, you don't have to worry about filing or faffing around either.
