Fixing a Broken Acrylic Nail
Dealing with a Broken Nail Under Acrylic
Fixing a broken acrylic nail can be a stressful experience, but with the right tools and techniques, it's possible to restore your nail to its former glory. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fix a broken acrylic nail:
Materials You'll Need:
- Nail glue
- Nail file
- Nail buffer
- Small brush
- Acrylic powder
- Nail tips (optional)
Instructions:
1.
Clean and prepare the nail. Start by cleaning the broken nail with a nail cleanser or acetone. Then, file the edges of the break to smooth them out. 2.
Apply nail glue. Apply a small amount of nail glue to the broken edges of the nail. Use the brush to spread the glue evenly. 3.
Press the nail back together. Press the broken edges of the nail back together and hold them firmly for a few seconds. 4.
File and shape the nail. Once the glue has dried, file and shape the nail to your desired length and shape. 5.
Buff the nail. Use a nail buffer to smooth out the surface of the nail and remove any imperfections. 6.
Apply a top coat (optional). To protect the repaired nail, apply a thin coat of clear nail polish or top coat.
Tips:
* If the break is large, you may need to use a nail tip to reinforce the repair. * Be careful not to use too much nail glue, as this can weaken the repair. * Allow the nail glue to dry completely before filing and shaping the nail. * If the repair is not holding up, you may need to repeat the process or consult a professional nail technician.
