OMG! I BROKE A NAIL! Let's Fix It!

Worse thing ever! And it hurts sometimes too

Ikr! I value my natural nails so much, cuz they look so smooth and long, and I broke my nail once a small corner and i cried for a week

[@tippib2222]

I could FEEL this in my own nail bed. OMG.

[@WorthyMissJ]

OMG, THANK YOU! I am not a professional nail technologist. I just do my own nails and have had a nail that broke like this. I had no idea what to do and couldn't afford to go to a salon so, I left it alone. I'm glad I made the right call! At least now, I know how and WHEN to repair it, if it ever happens again.

[@Hadassa1977]

Kirsty, can you do a video about all sorts of nail problems/diseases?

[@75jimboobs]

Esther van Strien that’s a fabulous idea. Please Kirsty

[@kirkpeterson8404]

Kirsty, I'm in the USA, found your channel by accident and have fallen in love with your vids. I'm a cake decorator by trade, but I'm fascinated by your nail trade. Gorgeous artistry, very informative, very personable in the way you break down the details. Thank you. I feel I could do a nail a two... HA. :) Keep up the great vids and glad I came across your channel. Have a great day. Kirk

[@jmsomeillan]

I love the way you explain to your watchers and how you are not afraid of other pro's opinions. I have bin doing nails since 1976 and as much as other nail techs may not like it " I DO AGREE WITH YOU 100 0/0 ". Now if I may say so .... if you were to not have done it fully sculpted I do believe it runs the risk of having water or liquids get under the nail where it is damaged and the humidity trapped between the plastic and the real nail could indeed cause more damage and even a fungi. " But " placing the acrylic over the area and sealing it with the acrylic prevents that from happening and allows the nail to grow from under the cuticle as it normally does PUSHING ALL OF IT OUT EVENTUALLY and with a little extra weight at the point of damage helping it adhere better when growing the natural nail back to cover that space ... Also if I may add .... acrylic is a more flexible compound that because of its gritty termination , " may even have better breathing than plastic tips. But that is up to your understanding. At a dental office they will let you know that if it is used on the roof of your mouth for dentures ..... " then how harmful would that make it on your finger tip "? Yes I was also trained in making dentures .... hahahaha . I enjoy you guys an awful lot. Those who think they know it all cause of their years at this don't make room for the newer stuff so I always watch .... Thanks a bunch and God bless. Keep those videos coming , we love you !!!!!! yay !!! VIVA CHRISTY !!!!

Great video. I understand a lot more then I did. Thanks for teaching this old bird the proper techniques.

I learnt something in this video! My husband always tells me that I need to let my nail breathe when I break a nail (I am not qualified and only do my own nails) and now I can tell him to shove it lmao I drench my hands in coconut oil & put cotton gloves on before bed. When I wake up they’re silky smooth and all the rough skin is gone 👌🏼

Very informative Kirsty. I had a client come in yday with a natural nail similar to that, and very uneven and lumpy. But I just built it up without a tip/form to the length of her other natural nails so not long at all and she was very surprised.

[@blinkydatiger]

I seriously need to add “manky” to my vocabulary #learnsomethingnew 🧐😆

[@nadastankovic5245]

Goodmorning Ms. Kirsty, I watched a video on you placing nail tips on and sculpting. You are correct that Forms are so much easier than tips. I’m licensed hairstylist/nail technician and in school we were taught acrylic tips over forms. I’ve done Fiberglass as well. You have to measure, file down nail and time consuming over forms. Can you do gel creating a nail with forms. I like Gels. Your teachings is so precise. Love from Canada 🇨🇦❤️

You have to sterilize the area A red Spark before replying the acrylic. The nail would grow out however in way that doesn't look appealing maybe and it's not good idea to put false nail or acrylic or gel that haven't heal. Sharing some thoughts. And yes she know but she show ing us how making contented for us. She the pro. If the nail can't grow you apply false one because fungi or bacteria created a affected which she mentioned.

[@michellecaudwell1559]

Random question, but could u sculpt an acrylic nail on big toe nail bed, that has healed from permanent nail removal?

[@jungtothehuimang]

I don't think you should put anything on an appendage with no nail at all. It could cause pain and damage I should think, plus there will be nothing for it to adhere to.

[@iladybug57]

Yes! I have actually seen this done. Dont smoothie the nail bed , keep it rough. I just can’t remember the video

[@michelleross9782]

Asking since I didn't find already in comments. Will nail regrowth reattach to nail bed with acrylic on it.

[@NovaKnowsBeauty]

Yes because.... The natural nail will only be reattached once it grows back in. The acrylic will grow out with the new nail growth.

I'm watching this about 6 months after but the toes thing cracked me up.... when your second toe is longer than the big toe it actually has a name. It's called Morton's Toe.

[@neenii8910]

🇺🇸 (Missouri) love this channel you're so magnetic. How did you remove the nail from your damaged nail? I assume that using the EFile would hurt and the acetone would burn.

[@SunkissedMalice]

Tanisha Robinson Oh acetone would hurt like a biiiitch! Lol. I assume most of it came off with the natural nail though.. and any remaining bits could have been picked off? Oh so painful regardless.. 😟

[@jankasidlo5142]

Tanisha Robinson first wait ubtil any bleeding stops and the pain is not so intense, than you cut off the lenght, and file off the rest, if you don't get off all the product at once it is not a big deal as long as exposed nailbed is free of any product. Yes fileing will hurt, but fungus and bacterial infection is worse than that

[@TalonStormCrow]

She usually uses cuticle nippers to remove any left over acrylic from what I have seen in other videos.

[@erykahpalmer2159]

For someone who is just starting out, what monomer and other products would you recommend from your brand?

[@somanyeevees]

I would say max adhesion liquid and the clear powder. I'm a beginner and I started using products from AliExpress and bornpretty and thinking I was terrible at acrylics but I got naio products and they're so easy to use! And a brush of course :)

[@nobodytoanybodyoranyone]

I wouldn’t use Max adhesion to start. They used to do a beginners kit on the website, that’s what I used to get started. Small amount of product in it but it’s cheap and gives you everything you need (well nearly everything). In that kit they had medium speed liquid and that gives you more time to play with the acrylic before it cures.

[@nobodytoanybodyoranyone]

Although that said, max adhesion isn’t bad to start with at all, when I started out I had problems with lifting and once I switched to max adhesion it really helped, but for me I’m still glad I used medium speed liquid first because it gave me more time to sculpt the acrylic before it cured

[@cassamoroll]

theres an odorless liquid on amazon in a brownish bottle. ive used it for years, it’s really good.

[@somanyeevees]

charlotte diddams good point, I didn't think about that! I do think max adhesion has a long enough setting time, but that does make sense! :)
