‘My nail broke!’ No, it is not a drama, but it is a task that you did not count on. And it is that, we like to always be perfect, that thing about getting a nail caught or breaking is something that we do not like at all and that can ruin the look that you had thought of, right? Relax, there are some practical and effective tricks that you can do from now on.
Tricks (simple and practical) to fix your broken nail
If a nail has broken or caught, what you should do is check how far the break extends and then opt for the solution that best suits you from those we present below. Your nail will be back to the way it was before!
1 File and trim nails
If the break is not deep but it covers almost the entire nail, or you do not have much time to fix the mess, what you can do is trim the damaged nail and file its that it is short, but smooth and without splinters. Next you will have to do the same with the rest of your nails so that they are the same.
You may not count on having short nails, but it’s better than having them of different sizes. Also, there’s nothing a good nail polish won’t fix, especially to give them a modern touch while they grow back.
2 Use a special nail glue
It is about filing the surface of the nail a little, just enough to make it smooth and as even as possible. Next, apply one or two coats of special nail glue, better if it is fast drying. Once you have it ready, you will see that the crack or the space that has remained in your nail has been filled, that is, it is covered and there is no risk of it getting caught in your clothes.
To finish, put on a layer of transparent enamel to give uniformity. Not that it’s a very long-lasting solution, in fact, you may have to put a bit of glue on every day or two, but once it’s going to hit, your nail will look as if nothing ever happened tout..
3 The tea bag trick
Surely your best friend has told you or you have seen it on social networks. It is a trick to fixer one that has become super effective. You cut a small piece from a tea bag and place it on the broken nail with the help of a fine brush and special nail glue.
Once the glue has dried, you will have to file the nail and put nail polish on top so that there is no trace of the tea bag. As with the trick from before, this one isn’t very durable either, but at least you’ll be able to wear the look of the day without any blemishes.
4 Use a false nail to fix your broken nail
If none of the above advice works for you or the nail is so broken that little can be done for it, what you can do then is put. You can put it only on the finger of the broken nail but, if you want it to look good, put it on all the nails so that your manicure is excellent. Once your nail has grown back you can remove the false nails if you wish.
Last piece of advice, always take care of your nails, hydrate them with cuticle oil and follow a healthy diet to keep them strong. It will be the best to avoid future broken nails!
