The initial reaction when I break a nail is to cry and moan about it. I know! It's just a nail, but my nails take forever to grow to an even and non-boyish looking length, so I usually moan until the feeling passes. Not to mention that it's hard to just file my nails to an even shape because my nails always break awkwardly. Well, I no longer cry or go running to my manicurist for a full set of acrylic nails, because I know how to fix my broken nails at home with a few things from my kitchen and bathroom cabinet. Go figure!
What You Will Need:
- 1 Tea Bag
- Nail File
- Base Coat
- Opaque Nail Colour
How to Fix Your Nail:
- To patch things up, pick up a nail file like essence studio nails file and remove any rough edges around the break.
- Follow with your favourite base coat. I love essence protecting base coat.
- Empty the tea bag, and use a pair of nail scissors to cut a strip large enough to cover the broken portion.
- While the base coat is still slightly wet, press the strip of tea bag paper over the split, and swipe two or three additional coats on top.
- Allow the nail to dry, then conceal everything with an opaque nail colour like essence colour & go in nude it and you're done!
To find all my favourite essence nail products, visit your local drug store or Clicks Pharmacy.
Stay beautiful!
