Reparing clear gel overlays

[user 20295]

Hello.

I bit stuck and sorry if silly question.

If you do natural ovelays in clear gel for a client (or over natural tips) and they break one nail or a corner off how would you repair the nail? would you have to buff off all the gel and apply a tip? If i put clear gel on a sculpture form will it look odd?

With Acrylic i would normally repair the corner with white over a form or use. But if it is natural tip colour it would not be possible.

If it is acrylic i can soak one nail of and re-apply a tip but if i remove gel i always leave a thin layer on the nail, this would not be possible if applying a tip?

What would you do? Would you just not offer clear gel overlays?

Thanks for your help

if it was just the corner the i would use a soft white gel to repair the corner but if it was the whole free edge they broke i would buff of the gel still leaving a thin layer and apply a tip as usual.i have done this many times with no problems
