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.

The Truth About Tru Shine from Jamberry Nails

    Just introduced from Jamberry: Tru Shine Gel Manicure System. Gel manicures for you, your family, and friends has never been easier or more affordable than with Jamberry Nails Tru Shine System. 

             So what is Tru Shine? Tru Shine is not a lacquer but a gel enamel that uses UV or LED light to cure into a long lasting manicure. Forget all those other products you can find either in beauty supply stores, big box marts, and salons. Tru Shine is made from high quality components and in variety of shades. The Tru Shine, like the lacquer can be used with all of Jamberry's clear wraps for layering. Not convinced yet? Let me break it down for you. 


           The difference between acrylic, polish, and gel manicures is this: 

            Acrylics: Faux nails that use an epoxy like glue; resin that adheres to your natural nail. You can choose between a full nail or just tips. Manicurists file, buff, and sometimes cut away the cuticle to apply these. Acrylics when done properly look beautiful BUT they often need fills (a build up of resin that is buffed to look like part of the acrylic nail that is applied as the nail grows), are pricey, and can cause nail fungus and infections. Unclean utensils can even cause staph infections. 


              Polish and Lacquer: These are the most traditional of manicures. You go in to a salon and a tech or manicurist usually cleans your existing nails and uses either polish or lacquer. Lacquer is thicker than polish but does not require curing nor does polish. These manicures usually last up to a few days before it begins chipping. Jamberry's lacquers are specially formulated to last longer and chip less. 

              Gel: Gel manicures are the latest trend in salons and spas next to Jamberry Wraps. They also give a more natural look than acrylics.Gel Manicures are layered with a special type of lacquer that has to be cured by UV light. These are also the most expensive type of manicures to get, but they do last longer than the above for mentioned with the exception of Jamberry Wraps, which can last up to a month. Gels usually don't chip but the wearer usually has to pay to get them removed, which can also sting the wallet.  


                                         $The Cost$

                  The cost can vary but Acrylics can cost as low as $20 all the way up towards $65 and that is not counting nail art or fill ins. 

                   However, Polish and Lacquer manicures/pedis usually doesn't exceed $30. Every few days to a week can add up though at a salon or spa. 

                  Gel manicures are the most expensive usually starting at $45 and going all the way upwards to nearly $100 not counting nail art or special finishes.

Tuesday Nail Tip

Welcome to Tuesday's Nail Tip

Nail Wrap Layering

Jamberry Nail Wraps are not just one dimensional. You can achieve a whole new look with just two Jamberry wraps. It's called layering and it's not as hard as you may think. 

1. Step one is cleaning your nails. Always start with clean oil free nails. This can be done by washing your hands with Dawn dish soap and then using Jamberry's Nail Cleanser or polish remover with acetone on each nail. Don't forget to push back your cuticles.
2. Next adhere any solid wrap, Ombre, Striped or polka dotted, etc. first to your nails. I use this method to applying my Jamberry Nails by Sydney Brothers, my up line, The Easiest Jamberry Nail Application. 
3. The next step is choosing any of the clear wraps and those come in a range of designs. Apply them the same way you just applied your base Jamberry wrap. You should have a perfect layered look. 
4. You can also use Jamberry Lacquer instead of using a Jamberry wrap as your base wrap but I do not suggest using one of the lacquer's that have sparkles or glitter since it might affect how your clear wrap might adhere and you will also need to apply your clear wrap perfectly because if you have to pull it up if it's off center, it might take off the lacquer. 

Here are some great layered looks!
