I hope you haven't broken your nail!
Hello everyone hope your nails are looking good today.
I am going to tell you how to mend your nail if you have broken it. There's nothing worse if your running out of the house ...on minutes...or of on an important date!
First of all, you should always carry a file with you. Nail glue would be good too. and those handy little nail remover pads.
First remove polish, file the acrylic nail down with the flat of the file on the top of the nail and if it's sticking up at the side you can gently file it so it's not sharp.
Gently lift the break and squeeze a little glue, press it back down and wait till it dries . Gently file the glue away off the top of your nail. Then you can re-polish.
If you have broken a natural nail the same principle applies but you must be more gentle with the natural nail.
And don't see-saw on the (free edge) white tip growth, you need to file to the middle from each side bringing the file downwards in the middle and flick from underneath to get rid of little bits hanging off the nail.
Also please don't file down the sides of the natural nail, you will take all the strength away from the nails.
hope that was a good tip for you!
speak to you soon
