STEPS
TOOLS
Here are all your goodies. You can use either tissue paper or a tea bag for the patch.
These cracks happen from time to time. Slammed in a drawer, heavy lifting or just life but in any case they are a pain when your growin out your nails.
Take some tissue
And cut small pieces... Big enough to cover the crack
As such
Put nail glue on top of the crack. I am using superglue because dumb dumb me ran out of nail glue. It works the same.
As such
Place the cut paper on top of glue
Smooth out with an orange wood stick or a tooth pick
Make sure the paper covers the whole nail that's cracked!!!
Trim excess paper off with some iris scissors.
Add one more layer of glue to the nail.
Looks as such
When dry begin to file down the rough area from the glue. Don't file too much as to where to take off the entire paper layer!
Like magic, no more crack!
File, buff and oil up
And good as new. This is just a temporary fix until your nail grows out more. Enjoy!
