PREPARE YOUR NAIL REPAIR KIT

As we have just mentioned, it is essential that you have the right products to repair a broken nail and that they are of quality. Among these products, there must be:

• Lime
• First
• Builder gel
• Gel brush
• Molds
• Final shine

In case you do not have the necessary products, you can find the material you need in the Nail Repair Kit : a kit containing the essential items to repair broken nails .

REMOVE THE PRODUCT AND SHAPE IT WITH THE FILE

To repair a broken nail with permanent or gel polish, you need to remove all the product from the natural nail so you can work on a clean, residue-free base. Next, use the file to touch up the free edge (specifically the broken area) and the length of the nail if necessary.

To ensure product adhesion, we recommend lightly buffing the surface of the nail with the padded file or buffing block and, after cleaning with Cleaner , applying Primer Ultra-Bond .

APPLY THE MOLD AND THE BUILDER GEL

Once the nail has been prepared, it is time to mount the RANA mold and apply the builder gel .



Place the mould so that you can safely repair the nail thanks to its two holding points. When applying the builder gel with the brush, we recommend that you do so over the entire surface of the nail, not just in the area of ​​the break.

This is the moment when you can choose whether to apply clear builder gel and then polish the nail with the colour you like best, or use a coloured builder gel. Don't worry if there are some unevenness or imperfections when applying the gel, because you can touch it up with a file after it dries. Once the gel has been applied to the entire nail, you can dry it under a lamp to harden the product.

TOUCH UP IMPERFECTIONS

As we mentioned above, once the gel has dried in the lamp, you can remove the mold and use a file to perfect the shape of the nail and its surface, thus eliminating possible imperfections.

ENDS WITH A FINISHER

The last step to finish repairing the broken nail is to add shine with your favorite permanent nail polish finisher. If you have previously painted the nail with a gel color, you can apply a finisher that matches the chosen shade. We can give you some examples!
