Most nail polishes demand a full redo the moment your manicure chips; L'Oreal Magic Mani Retouch & Go lets you simply touch up and carry on. This clever 4-piece set is designed to refresh the look of your nails in seconds so they appear newly done, not newly patched.

A blend of nitrocellulose and acrylates copolymer forms a thin, flexible film that adheres smoothly over existing polish. Acetyl triethyl and tributyl citrate help plasticise the film, reducing cracking, while PEG-12 dimethicone adds slip for controlled application. Light-reflecting mineral pigments help visually blur minor imperfections on the nail surface.

The fluid, quick-drying texture glides on in a thin layer and settles to an even, glossy finish. It feels lightweight rather than thick or gloopy, so nails do not appear overloaded after repeated touch-ups. Once set, the film helps resist minor scuffs and daily wear, extending the polished look of your manicure.

Use the pen-style applicator to target only the worn or chipped areas, then lightly blend towards the rest of the nail. The controlled flow and slim tip help you stay within the nail margins, keeping cuticles neat and polished. Ideal for emergency fixes before meetings, events or nights out.

Pen delivery system offers controlled, low-mess application on the smallest chips.Film-forming polymers create a cohesive layer that bonds seamlessly with existing polish.Plasticisers help maintain flexibility to reduce flaking from daily movement.Quick-evaporating solvents support fast dry-down for rapid, on-the-go use.

Use Magic Mani Retouch & Go to maintain the look of your manicure between full applications of your regular L'Oreal Paris nail polish and top coat. It slots easily into a routine with your preferred base coat, strengthener and cuticle care for a polished result with minimal effort.

For those who refuse to redo a full manicure for a tiny chip, this set keeps nails looking freshly polished with minimal effort.

• Step 1. Ensure nails are clean, dry and free of oil or hand cream on the areas you plan to retouch.
• Step 2. Shake the pen gently, then prime according to pack directions until colour flows to the tip.
• Step 3. Lightly stroke the tip over chipped or worn areas, staying within the outline of the nail.
• Step 4. Gently blend the fresh layer towards the existing polish to avoid any visible edge or ridge.
• Step 5. Allow to dry fully for a few minutes before touching anything, then repeat with a second thin layer if extra coverage is needed.
• Step 6. For added protection and shine, finish with a thin layer of your usual clear top coat once the retouch is dry.

Pro Tips

• Always apply in thin layers; several light passes look smoother and dry faster than one thick coat.
• Wipe excess product from the tip on a tissue before touching the nail for cleaner, more precise strokes.
• File any raised chips flat before applying to help the retouch blend seamlessly.
• Keep one pen in your handbag or desk so you can fix chips as soon as they appear, before they spread.
