What are you painting that you want to have chipping? If it's something metallic, I'd probably use metallic for the chipping effect.

Generally speaking, the "recess" of the chipping should be darker - black in this case is fine. I might recommend doing half naggaroth and half black. Then you need a highlight color to paint under where light would be hitting on the chip to create that 3D effect. 

Personally I like to do the darker color first and then the lighter color on top for chipping, but if you're doing a large amount of chipping I'd recommend doing the lighter color first and then adding the "recesses" of dark color on top. 

If you're doing a lot of chipping, I'd also highly recommend using the sponge technique. Makes it waaaay easier!
