![How to fix a cracked natural nail. [Pro Nail Technician explains]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you, thank you, Liz!!! I’m always learning so much when I visit your channel. I can’t wait to try this on a client of mine. 💜
But ur a man
strawberrycakes yeah so
what difference does that make?
Don’t throw away the tea, put it in a diffuser 😃. Great tutorial for a quick fix!
Lol. Trust me I have enough tea to last me a lifetime.
Who else searched up homemade tea infuser 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
My nails are so thin from wearing acrylic nails for 30+ years that they hurt, I've started using tea bags, I put it on the tip of my nails and put several coats of base gel to make them thicker, file to smooth, use gel color and a gel top coat. It works amazing, doesn't chip or peel.
Do you buff the whole nail?
I have used a Kleenex once as well and it worked great in a pinch. But I usually use silk.
This was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you! I sure wish I'd known about this trick 3 days ago when I filed down a cracked nail!
Using your tutorial, I was able to save 2 of my nails today. I used super glue instead of base coat as I wanted to be sure it would hold up if it worked. I was also shampooing my hair today and needed to rely on these nails to stay strong. It worked beautifully and I am very grateful!
Betsy, how did the super glue work? Thanks!
@@Me-dl1tx it works just like nail glie but it's stronger. If you have nail glue use this, if you can't find any use super glue
I've heard that super glue can damage nails, be wary.
I'm so glad you posted this because as it turns out I had to use it today!
Thanks Liz. I suffer regularly from cracks on both thumb and pointer fingers and have done for years! Finally I watch your video and see a way forward. I will, one day and with your expert tips and tricks, get the nails I would love and which god definitely did not give me. Thanks.
Great video. Back in the 1980s Revlon made a great little repair kit with papers and a clear product that you applied it with. It was brilliant and lasted through washes, polish changes etc and was fantastic for growing out cracks really far back. I wish they would bring it back. Instead of cutting you tore it and the little fibres added to the strength.
Wendy Bond: Look for the Nail Tek Nail Repair Kit at ULTA, Brush-On Nail Repair at Bed Bath & Beyond, & Supernail Nail Bandage Instant Nail Repair. Personally I use ASP nail glue and nail powder. I've used fiberglass and tea bags, they don't last long for me. My way there is no obvious texture difference and lasts longer.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the first time I’ve see this done.🙏🏼
You are so gorgeous!
I need your skin care routine.
Glad I found your channel. I just cracked my nail and it's been getting caught on everything. So happy I can repair it and not have to just cut it off too short. Thanks!
Very helpful. I'm learning classical guitar, and split my "i" fingernail. Working great now. Using the nail buffer was a great idea! Thanks so much, Liz!
That's awesome. Glad to hear it helped. Rock on! 🤘
Thanks for the tips and tricks! And I love your ring!
Omg!!! Thank you so much. I had two broken nails and I didn’t want go to CVS to get crazy glue. I used clear nail polish and worked well. Thank you that is amazing 🙏🙏🙏
I have done this for a while on myself but I tear the teabag for uneven, thinned out edges for less filing. Great tutorial, thank you!
I just thought about this 2 days ago. Your video autoplayed in the background and I ran to watch this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I couldn't find any silk strips in my area because of my state being quarantined and the nail supply stores being closed. Thank you!!
Always killing it with the best videos
This is revolutionary! Thanks so much for all your knowledge!
Just started growing out my nails a little since I started supplementing, and I made a big crack on the side of one of them. I don't wear nail polish or have glue but I do have clear nail polish for other projects and tea bags. This will help immensely, thank you!
Have split nails often and annoying when I have to file my nail down, Thanks for this tip and video Awesome I don’t have to file my nail down 😊👍
I put a silk wrap over my tear nail. Works beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
OMG yes, I knew about this great hack for decades ago Lol So glad you made this video bc I had completely forgotten about it!! 😁👍🌸💓
Gracias!!! 💖
Love the way you explained this video, to the nail fanatic's like me, I love anything that has to do with nails, adore your gorgeous brows too .
Tried your technique....... worked like a charm! Brilliant suggestion ! Thank you sooooooo very much!!!!! My nail grew back very quickly ,and was amazed how strong it began to grow again! Your nail repair idea was a blessing, especially during COVID, as I do not go to the nail salon at this very critical time. I found your video on UA-cam just at the right time as well and had to repair another nail about a month later! Your nail technique worked perfectly again! Told a friend about it, and she found your nail repair idea to be fantastic, just as I did!
Thank you again, Liz!!!

Thank you I knew before this technique but I was using glue!! It did work but yours is much neater thanks a million!!
Thank you for your clever tea bag idea, your so ingenious! The breakings i have to fix are mostly fixable with gel. I have silk but never used it. Change of subject, i have a client that has very large nails, she hates it so much. I can't wait to try your pinching technique with gel on her. Hope it will make her less large nails.
Thank you, I've had a problem with 2 nails that have cracked too far down to cut them out yet, I have tried filing them down and redoing the gel for them to just keep cracking! Which can be so painful, this worked a treat, many thanks
Great tips! I've used tea bags many times. Coffee filters and super glue when in a pinch. I prefer cheap filters. They're thinner. So, less filing to even it out. Sally Hansen also has brush on glue. Not long lasting by any means, but if you have a break far back (Ouch!!!,) it can be a life saver.
Thanks, liz! Love the information.
Thank you for this video! I always have cracks on the sides of my nails. They always tear into the nail bed, so they are SO sore, and will even bleed. Now I know I can prevent that!
Love all your videos!
I used to get cracks wherever my nails grew out. Turns out I needed a jojoba-based nail oil. It only happens when I slack off using oil.
I had a split on my finger and tried polish and even superglue but after the failed attempts and a nail that all it even further I tried this and can finally say I found some relief. Thank you so much for showing this and helping with my nail problem😊💜
Hi I Tried this idea on my thumb I love it!! Thanks for sharing this idea , plz send more helpful ideas.
Very clever ☺. Thank you for sharing.
This recommendation is so useful thank you so so much
LOVE this video, i hate having to use Super Glue...i tend to get more on my than on my nails. Awesome fix! 👌🏼
This is very useful thanks for sharing🙏🏽🥰
Such a great tip, TFS🌼
Thank you. This really works. Wish I had discovered this simple trick years ago. Amazing:)))
Wow! This actuallly works and saves me from having to spend a tenner on superglue with brush! Thanks for posting!
Wow what a brilliant idea haha it'll certainly be a great talking point in my salon when I get the teabags out & what a great dinner party chat which could go on for some hours, I love it, its such fun. Thanks Liz for yet another of your fab idea's. Love from across the pond. Xv
Just did it! Thank you so much 😊
You just saved my entire manicure! Yay thank youu!
Awesome video! Thanks
Thanks for the tip Liz! Please, can you do a video with all the gel base coat work in natural nail including the protective overlay and the correct form to work with diferent systems as you told us in your video...Thank you so much!
That's coming! :)
I've been trying to grow my natural nails and all has been going well, except for the other day I hit it at work and it cracked like yours but since my nails are longer though, I knew if I didn't do anything it was gonna rip bad...I used paper towel with 1ply as it was the only thing near me, it worked great! Now that I've seen this video I know how to better refine it when it comes time to change out my gel polish and recover the crack. At least until it's grown out enough that I can clip it
THANK YOU for sharing 😊💙
This just saved me! Thank you for this :)
Wow this was a super fix it inexpensive way to fix my cracked nail. Thank you so much.
Used to drink Red Rose. Now I'm into Tetley...much smoother, less bitter.
Excellent. I definitely prefer using gel to glue or resin myself.
Wonderful tutorial! I've seen some use silk for similar cracks, but your up-close views and explanations were really helpful for SEEING what you were talking about. Since I'm not really a tea drinker, I think I might opt for getting some silk. Thank you so much!
Wow love this.
Thank you so much for this video I’ve tried tea bags before but with glue. I just broke a nail again and I had to find a way to fix the little bigger than hairline crack. The nail is now fixed and all nails are gel base and top coated ready for my next nail strip polish mani. I may even seal that in with another base and top coat of gel to give me a little extra strength wear out of the polish :)
I put aside the gule. The outcome has shown to be much healthier, For my nails, eyelashes, and hair. Recently I got a chipped nail. I didn't want to cut it, so I Found this video. WOW! 😲This works. 💯 Thank you for sharing this tip. 👍👍From A new subscriber!👍
Thank you so much for this clever tutorial!! It worked!! xx
Great to hear!
thank youuuu this hack saved me!!
I'm so addicted to your videos.
I had to remove my gel at home due to the virus, and now I have a split in one of the nails. Thanks for this as I thought I was doomed to catch it on everything. I m so gonna try this and hope it will work with just regular polish over it. Not gel at home. Might you do a video for us under these emergency nail conditions?
I did this with paper towel because I had NOTHING else and it worked like a charm!
Mind. Blown.
Fantastic I’ll try that 🙂
Great info tfs
Well I googled fix a cracked finger nail and clicked on this, LIFESAVER, exactly what I was looking for, I have tea bags now to find clear nail polish in my wife's drawer,thank you thank you!!, I can't wait to try this, cheers 🤠
Glad I could help!
Hi. I am relatively new to your channel but I am finding it so helpful already. I was just wondering if you have tried Polygel or any like that yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Maybe an idea for a video?
thanks!
That is a very good job and cheap to do as well what i want to know Liz would that stop your nail from growing or slow the growth.
Oh i just did this a couple of days ago too, works great 😁
Thanks for your video, will I follow the same technique if I have gel polish on and my nail breaks?
awesome thank you i paused video to do this !!
Such a handy video! Will this work with normal base coat (not gel) and no curing time? I don't have a nail lamp at home
THXXX SO MUCH NOW I CAN FIX MY NAIL
Nice!!!! Can you do a video on why you can't use acid primer for gel nails and if non acid primer can be used on acrylic nails.
Genius!
Thankyou Liz I have two cracks one on each finger opposite to each finger
Lol cute yesss love it
Ok, I’m a little spooked by UA-cam now. I found a cracked nail this morning and this video was in my recommended videos…😮
Great vid...Ty
Thank you. I just broke a long natural nail on its side and this video saved my nail. It broke in a way that if I were to cut it, it would hurt way too much. Much love
Glad I could help!
My nail broke in the middle. If I don't do anything and wait for it to grow back will it be ok? What should I do in this case?
Thank u
Tea bags are just made of paper, i use a silk wrap, Some better wigs have a Meshed thin fiberglass trim at the top of the wig, that you have to trim, that works very good too
I recently purchased a nail strengthening base coat and I was wondering if I can use that to hold the tea bag in place instead of the gel base coat you used.
Coffee filters work great in a pinch!
This is such a great trick! I think it's very good that you include it in your series. Funnily enough I think this is better known among hobbyists than professionals, perhaps because they have fewer other options?
That is very true!
I never thought about using gel with the tea bag, as nail glue (with a tea bag) has always worked beautifully for me. Very cool!
The problem with nail glue is it doesn't work well on everything and it is such a brittle product that it breaks down quickly. Gel also has a hard time adhere to nail glue. With acrylic a lot of people apply right over glue with no problems, but gel does not like glue.
@@TheNailHub I guess my experience has been atypical, then. I lay the nail glue over the break, lay the tea bag on top of that, then more glue, let dry, buff, and do gel polish manicure over that. It lasts weeks. And, it takes a couple of acetone soak offs before I have to redo the repair (the glue lasts). Maybe I'm using bionic nail glue or something. 😂 I am eager to try the tea bag with gel polish next. Although, the hard gel overlay you've advised me on from my previous questions has really fixed my one nail that splits, to the point I don't even need the tea bag patch.
Thank you, Will you start teaching classes like NCE, for a week or day class? I would love to be one of your students.
This just changed my life..
Do you have any tips for at home gel nail beginners? Such as what gel brands, light brands, or full kits as well? I'm a bit out of my depth here and reluctant to throw money at product that will fail me but I'm ready to start! If anyone has any suggestions, would be appreciated!
So I forgot to do my IBX treatment before I did my set. A few days ago I slammed my non-dominant index finger in such a way that the whole enhancement ripped off and I have a deep crack that lifted from my nail plate and tore my hyponychium. It's no longer hurting, but i'm worried if I don't repair it, it'll completely crack the tiny amount that's holding it on. Would it be safe to do the IBX treatment before doing the repair? Thanks a ton girl.
Cool, your helping others with more knowledge of a not too common video, but I did already watch a few video's of just this kind of nail repair.
Yes there are lots of different methods, but since I'm doing a full fundamental video series I had to include this so people know how to fix nails under their gel polish without the risk of it cracking or breaking again through the product. :)
i don't have gel lamp or base sadly I got rid of them would a regular nail polish work?
Can I ask where you got the poster at the back in the wall with the gold and hand with what looks like Gem Stones xx
Thank you so very much I need it my own nails are tearing often, so now I know how to fix it , senior friend 🤭😷
onevsa: If your nails are tearing often, you need to back up and address the reason. Most of the time it is lack of nutrients you are ingesting. Look up Dr Eric Berg and nails. Don't just react to the result, prevent it in the first place.
Is there a different technique with gel powder or can I use this?
Ive also used coffee filters but mostly been using toilet paper for years cuz it is fibrous n tears apart easily. If you pull the end instead of cutting you wont see a definite line when patching a long nail. Then you can still encapsulate with gel or acrylic.
Karen Carlos Same here on coffee filters. Never thought of toilet paper. Good idea!
So wish I had seen this video 72 hours ago❗❗♥️
may i ask what lamp do you use and where to get one please.
Hi, I just broke my nail as I was due for a refill. I have acrylic powder on my own nails, no extensions. My nails are very long now and my pinkie broke right across my nail bed. It was/is painful. The nail broke just above where the nail bed starts. There is still enough nail bed under it that the nail still holds on but it cracks and bleeds every time I bump it against something. I have a nail appointment where they will have to file and refill. Should I try your method or just cut it off? I am currently trying to hold it in place with a bandaid as it has not broken off completely. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’m going give this a shot soon on a long crack>1.5 mm down into the nail Ed. You mentioned using any basecoat you have on hand, and also curing the product for 30 seconds (and I heard a beep). Can you clarify, is there a specific device to use to cure it or is it just letting it sit for a while?
Another question I have, should nail ridges be buff down every time you polish
What do you use to clean your nails?
The top layer of a band aid works well too
