How to Repair a Broken Nail

How to Repair a Broken Nail

🔧 Step 1 – Prepare the nail

Start by lightly filing the broken area of the nail with the 240 Grit Pro File.

Don't overdo it – we just want to remove the crack, blend the damaged area and make room for new product.

Once the damaged area is smooth, and blended we can move to step 2.


💧 Step 2 – Prep and build up

  1. Apply Bond liberally to the broken nail.

  2. Next, apply a very thin layer of Base

  3. Dip the nail in Clear – cover the entire nail

  4. Gently brush away excess powder.

    Note: If the colour has been removed you may need to apply the colour instead of clear during the next dip.

  5. Repeat the same process one more time: Base + Clear (or colour) + Brush

💡 Now you have built a small “band-aid” out of powder – and it works surprisingly well!


🛡 Step 3 – Seal and smooth

  1. Apply a generous layer of Seal

  2. Wait about 2 minutes – let it harden

  3. Use the 240 Grit file and lightly smooth the surface

  4. Brush away dust

  5. Add another layer of Seal to set everything properly


✨ Step 4 – Glow and finish

  1. Apply first coat of Glow

  2. Let dry a little.

  3. Apply a second coat of Glow – this time with a thinner layer, and slower stroke.


💖 Voilà!

That broken nail? It's history.

You just saved your manicure – in 5 minutes, all by yourself, and with zero stress.
Does it feel a bit like magic? That's because it is. ✨

And hey – the next time you break a nail, you know what to do:

You take a deep breath, pick up Clear, and say: “Not today, chaos.”
