HOW TO FIX BROKEN NAILS

Here’s what you will need for this brilliant nail-repair tips

• – A paper (not fabric) tea bag. For some reason, we find that Tazo tea bags work the best for nail repair.
• – A really good base coat. We love Nail Kale Superfood Base Coat 
• – Scissors.
• – A fine-grit nail file. We love Deborah Lippmann’s four-way Smooth Operator file
• – Your nail color of choice.
• – A really amazing top coat. Sally Hansen  is the best for this, as it melds all your layers of polish into a single super-shiny, super-hard varnish.

Some people tell you to cover the entire nail; that’s a hassle you don’t need. You’re only going to want it to be big enough to cover your nail about halfway down from the tip.

Apply your base coat and wait for it to dry to a tacky finish. Then lie the tea bag rectangle over the top, ensuring that the break is fully covered, and smooth it down (either with your fingers or using an orange stick) so that there are no bubbles in the tea bag paper.
