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.

Summer Sunday Jamberry Combo Sensation

I have to say that I have become a Jamberry wrap addict. Before, I used to cry because I just either didn't have the money to get my nails done or I was tossing money away buying nail polish that would look great for a few days then start to peel and chip or would turn clumpy. Ever have that problem where you polish one hand perfect and then the other hand (usually the opposite hand you write and use the most) looks like a little kid painted it? That would be me. I would work and work to paint one hand perfectly while my right hand looked a mess not to mention I didn't have any nails so it just looked like a nubby nail job. I still have short nails (however they are no longer nubs dreaming of stubs), but with Jamberry wraps, I get pretty much an equally great manicure on BOTH hands and since Jamberry has so many different styles, I can have all the attention on the artwork instead of my nail length. I still get lots of compliments even when my wraps have been on for a month. They literally don't chip or peel and the artwork/designs don't fade. It's a Win! Win! Back in the day I would spend about $7 per bottle of polish, $1.59 on remover, and priceless amounts of aggravation and hours watching nail tutorials. Now, I might spend about $15-45 on Jamberry Wraps and I mix and match for a truly great look that lasts through household chores, kids, and every day life.






            Today my pick for a great combo look is Shake Your Tail Feather and Jaded. 

          Shake A Tail Feather and Jaded is perfect for those end of summer parties and events as well as adding some glitz at the beach and pool. This combo is fun, sophisticated, and very trendy. Whether you are boardwalk fancy free or summertime Boho carefree, this is the look for you. Add a French Tip sheet and a sheet of Atlantis or Diamond Dust Sparkle for a really fantastic look on every nail.

Holy Moley It's Jamberry Nails Tip For Tuesday!

 

 

Jamberry Tuesday

 

 

911!

 

 

 

 



Ladies, have you ever gotten your first sheet of Jamberry Nail Wraps and you've watched all the tutorials and followed all the directions for putting them on, yet you get the dreaded curling at the edges from air bubbles? I know it's happened to me many times over. I prep my nails, I have my mini heater all ready to go, my wrap measured and stuck to an orange stick in the heat, and then when I go to stick it I follow all the steps just to find I have some curling at the sides or bottom. Ladies, I have some solutions to stop the dreaded wrap curls.

 

 

STOP! DO THIS FIRST!

 

Before you do any of this tips, give your Jamberry manicure 24 hours. Usually when you apply them and you've applied sufficient pressure, the wraps smooth out after 24 hours. If in 24 hours you still see curled edges then proceed.

 

Remedy #1

 

Start off by using a good base coat. Jamberry has a great base coat but you can use any  you prefer. Just let it dry completely before applying the wraps. Sometimes our nails just aren't exactly smooth even after a good buffing. A base coat fills in and gives the wraps a little something extra to adhere to. You can still layer wraps if you wish with using a base coat.

 

 

Remedy #2

 

Try using a glass file. These can be found just about anywhere especially beauty supply stores like Sally's. Some people swear by this.  Because its such a fine, gentle file, it creates a very smooth edge.  A lot of people like to file at a 45 degree angle instead of 90 degree, exposing a thin layer of their nail bed at the tips.  This makes it so they can use their nails as tools and not worry about peeling up the wrap when using their fingers to scrape something.

 

 

Remedy #3

 

Use the Baggie Method

 

All you do is wrap your nail tightly with a ziplock plastic bag, and apply heat.  you can use any heat source (rice bag, hair dryer, mini heater) for this.  All that matters is that the bag is tight!

 

 

 

Remedy #4

 

HEAT IT UP!

 

Don't be afraid to apply more heat and pressure. Sometimes all the wraps need is a few more blasts of heat to give a better seal. Unlike nail stickers or those other brands that are common at drug stores, Dollar Stores, and other places; Jamberry Nail Wraps are made from a high grade type of vinyl that is heat activated. It's chemical free but it does need some good heat. The wraps will not melt on your fingers if you are using a mini heater or using a hair blower like you are supposed to. Again, this does not mean you have to burn your fingers. Just hit your application with a few more seconds in front of the heat and apply pressure.

 

Remedy #5

 

COOL IT DOWN BABY!

 

NEVER cut, clip, or file your newly applied Jams until they have had a chance to cool completely. Letting them cool completely allows the Jam to "cure" and adhere to the nail thoroughly. Filing, clipping, or cutting a warm or newly applied wrap can cause lifting or those darn curls at the edge. Let it cool. Also, while it's still warm, stretch by pulling at the end of the wrap over the nail tip and add pressure but let it cool afterwards.

 

 

Be sure to always start with clean, dry, and oil free nails. Buff your nails and try not to touch them or your wraps with your fingers as much as possible for a great seal.

 

Always make sure before you apply any wraps and after you have cleaned your nails by using either the Jamberry Nails Cleanser, alcohol (or alcohol pads), or Dawn Dish Soap that you push those cuticles back. You do not want your wraps over lapping the cuticles. That will cause the wraps to lift and isn't so good for your cuticles. Even at salons, any nail tech worth their salt is going to push (not cut) your cuticles back.
