How to replace a broken corner of a nail with fibreglass.

[Nailsinlondon1]

Can I replace a broken corner on my nail with fibreglass?



Yes you can..:hug: .....Helpful Tip: use at least 2 resins with different viscosities.

:idea: Choose a system that gives you at least two resin options; a thin resin for great absorbtion and a gel viscosity or thicker resin for building the nail.



· Prep the nail as usual.

· Apply a layer of thin resin to the nail.

· Apply a piece of fibreglass to cover the broken corner. Pat in place using a piece of backing strip.

· Apply complete strip of fibrglass to the nail. Pat into place.

· Apply a layer of thin resin slowly to the two layers of mesh, let the mesh do the work for you.

· Apply a Gel-type resin and brush it out with the brush on activator.

· Shape the nail so the fibreglass is in line with the natural nail.

· Buff the nail so it is smooth. Apply a coating of gel viscosity resin. As you brush this over the nail with the Brush-on Activator, make sure you brush a litte under the added fibreglass corner as well for additional strength.

· Buff and finish to a high gloss shine.

wow, i had no idea this could be done. Can it on ly be achieved using fibreglass nails? or can gel and acrylic achieve this too?

you can do this with Gel and L+P, it's achieved by using a 'form'.
