Things You'll Need:
- Fiberglass
- Nail Polish Remover
- Nail Polish
- Buffer
- File Glue
-
Step 1
Take polish off if needed.
-
Step 2
File the edge of the split until it feels like it will not snag on anything.
-
Step 3
Cut a piece of fiberglass into a strip wide enough to cover over the split. Do not cover whole fingernail with fiberglass.
-
Step 4
Apply glue on top of the strip a little at a time. You did not get the strip in place right or made a mistake use acid tone nail polish remover to remove glue and strip. Then reapply the strip.
-
Step 5
Wait for your nail to dry. Then buff the top of your nail smooth.
-
Step 6
Put base coat on or clear polish. Let base coat/clear polish dry completely.
-
Step 7
Choose a color polish to your liking.
-
Step 8
Apply the polish and let dry.
