how to fix a broken nail 😩🔪 #nails #gelnails #diynails #broken

HOW TO FIX A BROKEN NAIL - this is just one of the methods you can use and I'm not a nail tech so this what I know. I've used the teabag method for nails before and it works temporarily, but using silk wraps is better and tends to last longer! You can also use an extension or fake nail to cover the break and I can cover that in another video if this one hits 10,000 likes:)

What's On My Nails ~~~~

You did that so softly idk how to explain it was just such gentle work you seemed so calm and not stressed about the nail looks great😭

[salmasabhira]

Omg I love that pot nail polish remover! (A hack is that if it runs out, you could just pour any nail polish remover into the pot and it will soak it up and be a brand new one!)

As someone who has gone to school and learned nails I would recommend doing two silk wrap layers for your length of nail. And in salon we would actually cut the broken split pit off in a triangle at the weakest point and use a builder gel to fill in that missing area.

Great video and you're so good at doing your own nails for not being a nail tech

you can also cut off the inner tag in a clothing item– it's made from a similar texture as the silk wraps but for free!

As a natural nail hun, it sucks when my nail breaks. I normal just trim it down to avoid it ripping. When i remove it myself it makes me feel better, I've never thought of gluing my real nail I've gotten used to parting ways with the one that breaks. Mine usually grow back fast (wish my hair gave the same energy lol) but this was very interesting to watch.

The nail design is so pretty .. like I haven't seen it ❤

Edit : Wow, 1k 🍻

You should very gently buff the area to create a rough texture so the glue and silk adheres better to the nail, and wipe with a tone just before applying the patch to ensure all ‘oils’ have been removed. I’m 53, and have been using this method you demonstrate since I was 18. Thanks for sharing with the world ❤️

As a nail tech, it's basically how you do a nail wrap. If a split is particularly bad, you would put down a layer of glue and let it dry, them apply the glue, wrap, then coat with another layer of glue and then hit it with the activator. Of course you want to keep up reapplying the wrap until the Crack grows out. Reapplying as in "filling" not applying wrap over wrap.

Nail tech here! Your application of the silk wrap is perfect! I love silk and fiberglass wraps for small breaks! 10/10

I LITERALLY just cut all of mine off because I had the exact same thing happen. After seeing this, I’m investing in silk wraps. I won’t sacrifice my long nails again.

[SarahEbbesen]

The fact that I just used the exact same method to fix my nail, and then this pops up 😂

I love silk wraps! Another option is filler powder. The company Nail Tek makes a really nice broken nail kit, it’s great for natural nails.

It's hard to believe you're not a nail tech😳

[kim_nailz_lets-shine]

Aauw😱 I hated when that happened.. it's so painful.. brr 😖😖 Love that you used the silk! Hopefully they are all growned out of the cut.. Thanks for sharing.. 😘😘🥰

I have being looking for this video. Started following u this month. Just finished doing this after i broke my nail. But i used a tea bag don't have that silk wrap yet

I feel so proud of myself😊😊

[too_tired_for_this]

My grandmother used to use silk wraps, and I learned it from her. I think it’s funny that they’re back in use now!

[JollyOl]

From my experience with partially chipped long nails, I like to wrap the tea bag or whatever material around the inside of the nail too. It's like tucking in a burrito... sort of.

[jasminegrn]

As a long time nail tech, you 100% for the right thing! Beautifully done!

[joscelingutierrez]

It's refreshing to see people fixing their owm nails. I wear my own natural nails as well!❤
