I have a friend who has one missing. She paints the rest and gets on with it - it doesn't seem to bother her! I thought it would as she does do her nails really nicely and always has the nails on her hands done with gel, but she says there is nothing she can do about it so refuses to let it bother her.

I say stop worrying and wasting money - just paint the rest if you wish and get on with life. A nice french finish on the rest may be a more natural and subtle approach, however my friend goes for it with bright colours!
