Broken nail

[☆Missy☆]

I have 2 broken nails below my smile line n it keeps getting caught n ripping even more. Obviously because of where it is I can cut it. Is there anything I can use to help repair it :-(

The other day one of my clients had two splits on the side of her thumb, way before the free edge, so i used some fibreglass, glue and activator spray then used gelish structure gel over it, then the gelish colour.

Use some nail adhesive and a piece of fabric like silk for nail repairs.
If you don't have that to hand, some nail adhesive and a piece of clean tea bag over the split should hold it. X

I use silk and resin all the time it's an amazing invention 👍

Happened to one of my ladies before. Her middle finger on the left hand is very weak. It was split again when she came in last week. I just apply a nice thin layer or acrylic to the nail. Works a treat

Edit: but if you do this make sure your bead ratio is perfect when applying over the split. A runny bead will seep into the split!! xx

I use Self adhesive fibreglass, over the split, then put gelish foundation on, cure, then a couple of layers of structure gel, concentrating on the side where the split is. It lasts until I remove gelish and I usually find that the split has fused itself back together x

Here is a link to a step by step I did way back using some Shellac and fiberglass mesh to fix a low split. Hope it helps

I use a nail bandage then Gelish base then structure then colour as normal.

I cut up a tiny bit of lint free wipe and used nail adhesive & just stuck it over the split then when it was dry filed the bulk down and my nail is really strong again will try the tea bag next time too!

Hi Cloughers,

Do you think the nail bandages are better than fibreglass? x

 

[cloughers]

Not sure because I've never used fibreglass but I've had them last for a couple of weeks on clients. X
