The Best Tricks For Fixing A Broken Nail At Home

The dreaded broken nail. First thing first: It’s important to take proper care to prevent infection and treat the wound. That’s where we come in! We reached out to Dr. Dana Stern, a dermatologist specializing in nail care, to discuss what exactly you should be doing to care for your broken nails. Ahead, Dr. Stern, MD, shares her best tips and tricks for combatting broken nails. Plus, we included some of the best YouTube tutorials for the different methods of broken nail care.

1.The Tea Bag Method

Step 1: Clip the broken nail as close to the fingertip as you can.

Step 2: Using a glass or crystal file, gently file any snags, but be sure to avoid the split itself.

Step 3: Trim a tea bag or paper coffee filter to the size of a small patch that can cover the break in the nail.

Step 4: Paint the broken nail with a generous coat of clear polish.

Step 5: While the clear polish is tacky, gently place the trimmed tea bag/coffee filter over the broken part of the nail (It may be helpful to use a tweezer to hold and apply the tea bag segment).

Step 6: Allow it to dry. Then cover the nail with one or two more coats of clear polish.

Step 7: After the clear polish has dried you can polish with the color of your choice to camouflage the tea bag.

2. Mending With Glue

If you think glue is the only option for you, please proceed with caution and make sure you don’t have any allergies.

3. The Fake Out

Au natural is great, but when it comes to breakage sometimes you’ve got to fake it until you make it. This tutorial will show you how to rock a full fake nail and make it look natural.

4. The Gel Silk Method

When in doubt, grab a silk wrap. The silk wrap will bind to the nail like a band-aid or first aid wrap. Top with a coat of gel nail polish to reaffirm the bandage and provide extra protection. It’s that simple.

5. The Dip Powder Method

If the crack in question interferes with your dip powder mani, this tutorial gives you a step-by-step fix. This process involves applying nail glue over the spot where the nail is broken, before prepping the area for the dip powder. Next, you'll add two to three layers of base that covers the entire nail plate. Then, you'll finish off with seal protect to harden the area, before finalizing the nail with the desired polish.
