Easy Broken Nail Repair

Oh no you broke a nail!

Well not to worry I have a solution for you to get that broken nail all fixed up! And it's easy, Yay!

I keep reading about patching the nail with tea bags and such, which is fine when you have a broken nail and are in a bind.
Believe me I have had women come in with all kinds of things glued to the nail until they could get in to have it repaired.

I thought it might be a good time to share a little trick with you.
Here is what you will need for your nail repair kit and you probably already have most of the items already in your stash. 

• Nail Glue (A Good One) I recently found the Kiss Power Flex Nail Glue at Walmart and I am loving it. If you want to see it click here.
•  Three-way Buffer See and read about how to use it here.
• Orangewood stick (No link needed *wink*)

• IBD Nail Filler Powder See it here at Sally Beauty Supply

Always start with a clean nail. 

1.  Just barely file  the area of the nail to be repaired with the number one side one of your Three-way Buffer. (You are only removing the shine from the nail.)
2. If the broken nail is raised up take your orangewood stick and press it down to get it as even as possible.
3. Put a little bit of your glue in the crack of the broken nail. (Less is best and try not get the glue on your skin.)
4. Before your glue drys, quickly sprinkle a small amount of the Nail Powder into the crack. It's like a little salt shaker. (Again Less is best as you can reapply the glue and add more powder if needed.)
5. Your nail repair should be pretty smooth at this point all you need to do is gently smooth it with your buffer and you are finished. Yay! You just saved a broken nail!

Have you ever repaired a broken nail with the IBD Filler Powder?
