Weekend Beauty Magic: Repairing A Broken Nail With A Tea Bag

Broken nails were never an issue B4J (before Jamberry) because I didn't have any nails. I had nubs dreaming of one day being stubs. Now that I have nails, I literally want to cry because I have nails now and I hate it when they break.


       One great tip I found for repairing those nails was on a tutorial on You Tube. I was a bit skeptical about it at first but now that I know what to do-I'll never go back to tips, acrylics, or anything like that again. So follow these steps and you too will have a great looking nails.
   



            Things You Will Need:

             1 ordinary tea bag (don't use your best tea, okay)

              1 pair of small scissors preferably manicure scissors (they are really inexpensive but regular scissors will work too.)

              1 glass file (they sell these at beauty supply stores or you can use a fine grain buffer block)

               1 bottle of clear polish *Jamberry Strengthening Coat works great at strengthening your nail without all the harsh and damaging properties that regular polish may have.

                Clean and dry nails *Jamberry Nail Cleanser is great at removing oils and residue off nails*

              To Start:
  Start by cleaning your nails-be careful around the part of the nail that is broken.  Next, open the tea bag and pour the tea out. Sorry but you won't be needing it for this. You simply want the bag. Take your scissors and cut a piece only big enough to cover the part of the nail that is broken.  Apply clear to entire nail and then apply your tea bag patch.Now you can cover your entire nail *as shown below*  but you will have to do just a bit of extra buffing and filing.

 

 

 

       Next when it is dry, take your glass file or buffer block and gently buff or file down any rough edges and smooth out the nail. If you are doing this over acrylic nails, go very easy so that you don't ruin your manicure. Those get costly. Once you have it filed or buffed down and it is somewhat smooth-apply another coat of the clear base. Let it dry completely. You should not see the tea bag patch and if you do it should be barely visible. Now the nail is ready to lacquer, gel, or wrap and the nail will hopefully fuse back in place.
