[@loriperry602]

You saved me 3 months of waiting for 2 nails to catch up, it worked! Thank you!!❤

[@NiaHope]

You are so welcome! Glad to help 🤍

[@e.salinas6553]

But will it repair ur natural nail?

[@miriambradsell7473]

this works so well! - side note if you dont have nail glue to stick it down, clear nail polish works too:)

[@cheryminky]

Rlly? 😢 I don't wanna mess it up

[@miriambradsell7473]

@@cheryminkyyup! it worked for me:) definitely won't last as long as nail glue but better than nothing 😊

[@cheryminky]

@@miriambradsell7473 thanks! I bought nail glue and fixed it alraedy! Im so happy ☺️

[@michelleday3105]

Coffee filter will work also. I was a nail tech for years. This is the best option i have found for natural nail repairs. There will be no additional damage caused by this. Great tutorial!!

[@quantiriashivers]

This is method that worked best for me!

[@theanna1480]

Does it work if I use base coat instead of nail glue?

[@deniseminor3008]

Thank you here I am cutting my nails been one nail break. I cut them all off thanks.

My granny taught me this back in die 80s and it's really the only method that anyone can use that don't require all kinds of fussy ingredients and equipment. Thanks for sharing! ❤🇿🇦 🇿🇦 ❤

[@pollyfoxanne543]

What a great tip! I would never have thought of this. I just broke a nail and found this. I didn’t have glue so used clear nail strengthener then nail varnish on top. It’s worked. Thank you! 🤩

[@malvaparker6618]

You have gorgeous looking nails. Your nail beds are long and narrow. Just lovely!

[@RodneyJonelle]

Yeah i love that too. Cause my nail beds are short and wide. But my nails are long so you can't really tell. J

Yes, for sure they are very beaut.

[@msjaffacake]

I've had a slight break in my nail for about a week and keeps getting caught on my hair and clothing. Goes right through me! I tried this technique, and feels so much better. The only bug bear is when I buffed my nail, it didn't go smooth. I just layered it with loads of clear nail varnish. Hopefully it will grow itself out.

[@squirrellyb9753]

Buff it smoother. It works.

[@rosedecaro]

Thank you for these great tips! My mail turned out perfect! I laid a piece of tea bag each opposite way. Waited for nail glue to dry inbetween before I laid the 2nd teabag layer. Then buffed the glue down to make it smooth, then put base coat, hardener, top coat. Feel’s good. 😅 I’ll wear my rubber gloves to do the dishes. 👍🏼

[@itsthespiceoflife]

What happens if you don't have nail glue lol

[@Irishgirl7]

I’m just doing this now! Same nail as this video (right thumb nail but the crack is vertical). Glue, tea bag, glue! Just waiting for it to dry now then will file. Hope it works as nail salons don’t want to do small jobs like this anymore 😞

[@debradixon6746]

I ripped my nail down the middle and this worked!! Thank you!!!!

[@patremagilbert8787]

Same here

[@Andrea_r0driguez]

Me too, it HURTS SO MUCH 😭

[@bees_nail_art82]

For how long does it go soft after you oil your nails

[@aclarke4813]

WoW. This video was simple, clear & concise. All week I wondered what to do about my split nails. It was getting painful and had to find a solution. Thank-you for your great instructions. My nails have been restored.🤗

[@annettedavidson9055]

I’ve been using bandaids, scotch tape for two days this is so awesome super strong I’m gonna make a little emergency kit for work thank you!!!!!

[@RaiRaiBrown]

I'm so excited to know this now. I've always chopped then all of one broke.

After an EPIC FAIL using nail kits, this repair came through with FLYING COLORS! I can barely tell that I have a broken nail! Nia, THANK YOU so much!

[@chwhite4617]

I finally got my natural nails exactly right and promptly broke 2. Fortunately, I found your video. Excellent! Now I can stop going thru bandaids as coverups!😉

[@LindaCornell3069]

I'm on vacation later this week, and my nails looked so good until this afternoon when I got a small tear. I'm going to give this a try when I get home. Thank you for posting! ❤

[@frenchiemoni1665]

I ripped my nail right at the smile line and it hurt! I applied nail glue, teabag and clear acrylic powder. It's fine now. As a base coat, I use nailtique to for strengthener and then I go and use a gel topcoat and the patch holds up pretty well without my constantly patching it up again.

[@sylviat8461]

EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you!!!! Broke a natural nail further down than yours and it would hurt terrible to have it rip further. Until it’s grown out didn’t know what to do. Tried just the glue and it helped, but not for long.

[@maemae527]

Did this work? I split my nail in the middle of my bed and im desperate for anything to help other than wearing a bandage

[@trishans4295]

​@@maemae527 what method did you use other than whats shown in vdo

[@lauraropp5969]

It really works! I used this technique to mend a split in the center of my nail and after a few applications the split down the center if my nail is basically gone!

[@niiniisimone726]

I just ripped my nail taking acrylics off and this video saved my life. I have to braid hair! Lol 🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank you

[@alissawesson2521]

I tried just nail glue, then a bandaid before getting to this page. This really works, it saved my broken nail with dip after getting it done 3 days prior. TYSM 💕

[@squirrellyb9753]

Just tried this and it really works. It buffed out perfectly. I’m so excited. I love this hint !!!!

[@ROGER2095]

It works! I had a Beau's Line split that was causing pain, and this mended the nail. I used coffee-filter paper instead because that's what I had. Nail glue is crazy glue, slightly diluted which makes it much easier to use in this application, and worth the price.

[@girly95]

This took care of my broken nail. Mine was very similar to yours. I’m so glad it worked. Thanks love❤😊

[@laichellesparrow8172]

Thank you so much! I worked so hard in growing my natural nails & I really didn’t want to start over because if one nail breaks they all get cut & I start over again smh. Can’t wait to try this!!

[@YogiAdrianne]

I wish I could hug you! It worked! My thumb has about 1/2 inch of growth and you saved her! Thanks!

[@GigiBolman]

Ive literally just done that whilst following your instructions. Thank you so much!

[@rhondafountain648]

Thanks, I have used a nail wrap roll in the past-ran out & couldn't find it alone. I also have added filler powder to & covered with a nail wrap. The tea bag seems to work. My nails, naturally is 2+ times your length, but in the same area. My nails are hard & takes alot to break them.

[@therealmissglamBAM]

Thank you, hoping this works! Kept getting the tear stuck on things and had a band aid over it all day until I get could to a salon, but this seems easier 😂 how do I not own nail glue is the question?!

[@cyyrious]

Nails are strong and very healthy 💅🏽👍🏽

[@carolbernie1652]

Great video, easy to follow, grateful that it wasn't lengthy with a lot of useless chat, but to the point. I'm trying to grow my nails out after decades of acrylics & gels and recently getting nail burn from LED curing for too long (my own fault). It's a long slow process but this tip is a winner. Thank you and keep up the good work!

[@Divineveggiemama]

Oh thank you!!! I mended a nail with a slice of a plastic bag before, but the tea bag idea is way better, thank you!

[@river1216]

Thank you so much, this worked perfectly! I hurt my nail while peeling potatoes and this saved me from wearing bandaids for the next month :)

[@ariannasifuentes-i4f]

i had almost the whole white part of my nail off and i js watched this video and it was so helpful i didn’t have tea bags so i js used wax paper n that also worked too ❤

[@suzettelove4mj16ackerman5]

I honestly thank you so much for this hack. It just helped me to save my 1/4 in nail that was almost all the way off.... thank u thank u thank u.... now I don't have to look riddiculous with my holiday nail look n the original plan is all systems go for the holiday foils....

Thank u I finally got my nails to grow and now my pinky nail wants to break so I'll try that tip tomorrow before I come to work

[@judyneri4629]

I came to a perfect video! I had a broken split nails and it’s exactly the same on the video. I was doing laundry awhile ago and feels weird on my thumb nail found it was split almost half so I did exactly what on the video, thanks and it’s really works 👏

[@blameks9136]

I smashed my nail at work and it split right down the middle. This was a life saver it kept getting caught on stuff and I’m too scary to rip it off lol thank youuuu

[@houndmother2398]

I've tried this a few times and it best it's kept it from breaking again for a few days. The thing I haven't been doing is putting the glue on my nail before adding the paper. I have a broken nail right now I will try that. Thank you

[@thearrozconpollos494]

Thank you for sharing! I just cracked the side of my nail and I’m so happy I found your video!

[@nicspill6724]

Helpful tip! Great concise instruction! You have a nice voice too!

[@shariamall2453]

I watched this yesterday and kinda did it wrong over extending the teabag across the length of my nail. I should have rewatched it before starting, but I repaired small side slits on three different nails. My nails were just too long to cut and start all over, this saved me time and retained my length as well.

[@Woo94ster]

Great, thanks. What happens if you put nail polish on and it starts to chip off? Can you use nail polish remover on it and apply a fresh coat? My rip is halfway down so won’t grow out for ages.

[@ZaZaRaZarah]

Finally something that works... It alway tairs where its about to bleed and it hurts so much... It gets caught by my hair and I'm always afraid it will rip further... My nails are like paper and I'm tired of gel nails done... So, thank you...💅🏼
