Broken gel nails can be a real hassle, especially if you’re trying to maintain long, beautiful nails. But don’t worry, with the right techniques and some expert tips, you can easily repair your damaged gel nail and even lengthen it if needed. In this blog post, we will guide you through the steps of repairing a broken gel nail like a pro. Let’s get started!

What You’ll Need

Before we begin, make sure you have the following items handy:

  • Acetone or gel nail remover
  • Nail file
  • Buffing block
  • Clear or colored gel nail polish
  • UV or LED lamp
  • Gel nail brush
  • Nail forms (optional)

Step 1: Prep your Nail

The first step is to prep your broken gel nail for repair. Start by removing any nail polish or gel residue using acetone or gel nail remover. Gently file the surface of your nail to create a smooth canvas for the repair.

Step 2: Buff the Nail

Next, use a buffing block to gently buff the surface of your nail. This will help remove any remaining gel and roughen the surface slightly, allowing the new gel to adhere better.

Step 3: Apply the Gel

Now it’s time to apply the gel. If you have a nail form, attach it to your finger for added support. Using a gel nail brush, carefully apply a thin layer of clear or colored gel nail polish over the broken area. Make sure to cover the entire nail and extend the gel slightly beyond the break to create a stronger bond.

Step 4: Cure the Gel

Once you’ve applied the gel, cure it under a UV or LED lamp according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This will harden the gel and ensure it stays in place.

Step 5: Shape and File

After the gel has fully cured, gently shape and file your repaired gel nail to match the shape and length of your other nails. Take your time and be careful not to damage the surrounding nails.

Step 6: Apply Top Coat

To finish off your repaired gel nail, apply a layer of top coat gel polish. This will add shine and protect your nail from chips and cracks.

Step 7: Moisturize and Maintain

Finally, moisturize your nails and cuticles regularly to keep them healthy and strong. Avoid activities that may put excessive pressure on your repaired nail, and be mindful when performing tasks that could lead to further breakage.

Following these expert tips and taking proper care of your repaired gel nail will ensure it looks amazing and lasts for weeks. Enjoy your beautiful, repaired nails!
