Having a broken nail can be frustrating, especially if you’ve been working hard to grow them out. Instead of cutting them all short, there are steps you can take to repair your broken nails. This step-by-step guide will show you how to fix a broken nail and get it looking as good as new.

What You Will Need

  • Nail glue or clear polish
  • Small scissors or nail clippers
  • A tea bag or silk wrap
  • A nail buffer
  • Nail polish

Step 1: Assess the Damage

Take a look at your broken nail and determine how bad the damage is. If the nail is completely cracked or torn off, it may be best to trim it down to avoid further damage.

Step 2: Trim the Nail

Using small scissors or nail clippers, carefully trim any jagged or uneven edges of the broken nail. Be sure to file the edges gently to smooth them out.

Step 3: Apply Nail Glue or Clear Polish

If the crack is small, apply a thin layer of nail glue directly to the break, or use a clear polish as a temporary fix. This will hold the nail together and prevent further splitting.

Step 4: Reinforce with a Tea Bag or Silk Wrap

For larger cracks, cut a small piece of a tea bag or silk wrap that is slightly larger than the break. Apply a layer of nail glue or clear polish to the broken nail, then place the tea bag or silk wrap on top, pressing it gently into the glue. Apply another layer of glue or polish over the top to secure it in place.

Step 5: Buff the Nail

Once the glue or polish has dried, use a nail buffer to smooth out any unevenness and create a seamless surface. Be gentle and avoid buffing too hard, as this can damage the nail further.

Step 6: Paint and Protect

Apply a base coat to the repaired nail to create a smooth surface. Follow it up with your favorite nail polish color. Finish with a top coat to seal in the polish and provide added protection to the repaired nail.

By following these steps, you can easily repair your broken nails and avoid having to cut them all short. Remember to take care of your nails by keeping them hydrated, avoiding harsh chemicals, and using gloves when doing household chores to prevent future damage.
