Girls,
The last time I went to the beauty collage I was looking through a womans magizine and read a thing on hollywood and some tricks they use.
One of the items was on a broken nail and how to repair quickly.
This I read with intrest as my nails are always breaking. Any way it said use super glue and a single thickness of a tea bag (use only a new bag) for reinforcment. Tearing not cutting the bag so as to feather out the edges.
I have found this works very well but takes practice and a steady hand.( it sucks glueing your nails down or fingers together).
I wait untill the glue and tea bag paper have hardened well and then file the ends of the bag and glue to remove the rough edges. Then apply my polish and presto instant repair. Well as instant as all that but much faster than waiting for the nail to grow out again.
Hope this helps some of you also. Hugs Krystal.
