Great video. Back in the 1980s Revlon made a great little repair kit with papers and a clear product that you applied it with. It was brilliant and lasted through washes, polish changes etc and was fantastic for growing out cracks really far back. I wish they would bring it back. Instead of cutting you tore it and the little fibres added to the strength.
Wendy Bond: Look for the Nail Tek Nail Repair Kit at ULTA, Brush-On Nail Repair at Bed Bath & Beyond, & Supernail Nail Bandage Instant Nail Repair. Personally I use ASP nail glue and nail powder. I've used fiberglass and tea bags, they don't last long for me. My way there is no obvious texture difference and lasts longer.
Very helpful. I'm learning classical guitar, and split my "i" fingernail. Working great now. Using the nail buffer was a great idea! Thanks so much, Liz!
Omg i have to try this when i get home!! Im very connected to my nails bc i used to bite them all the time so when one tears it can be a bit upsetting for me. Thank you for posting this it'll be a life saver!! X3
Using your tutorial, I was able to save 2 of my nails today. I used super glue instead of base coat as I wanted to be sure it would hold up if it worked. I was also shampooing my hair today and needed to rely on these nails to stay strong. It worked beautifully and I am very grateful!
Thanks Liz. I suffer regularly from cracks on both thumb and pointer fingers and have done for years! Finally I watch your video and see a way forward. I will, one day and with your expert tips and tricks, get the nails I would love and which god definitely did not give me. Thanks.
Tried your technique....... worked like a charm! Brilliant suggestion ! Thank you sooooooo very much!!!!! My nail grew back very quickly ,and was amazed how strong it began to grow again! Your nail repair idea was a blessing, especially during COVID, as I do not go to the nail salon at this very critical time. I found your video on TH-cam just at the right time as well and had to repair another nail about a month later! Your nail technique worked perfectly again! Told a friend about it, and she found your nail repair idea to be fantastic, just as I did! Thank you again, Liz!!! , ,
Thank you for this video! I always have cracks on the sides of my nails. They always tear into the nail bed, so they are SO sore, and will even bleed. Now I know I can prevent that! Love all your videos!
You are so gorgeous! I need your skin care routine. Glad I found your channel. I just cracked my nail and it's been getting caught on everything. So happy I can repair it and not have to just cut it off too short. Thanks!
Well I googled fix a cracked finger nail and clicked on this, LIFESAVER, exactly what I was looking for, I have tea bags now to find clear nail polish in my wife's drawer,thank you thank you!!, I can't wait to try this, cheers 🤠
Omg!!! Thank you so much. I had two broken nails and I didn’t want go to CVS to get crazy glue. I used clear nail polish and worked well. Thank you that is amazing 🙏🙏🙏
I just thought about this 2 days ago. Your video autoplayed in the background and I ran to watch this. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I couldn't find any silk strips in my area because of my state being quarantined and the nail supply stores being closed. Thank you!!
Just started growing out my nails a little since I started supplementing, and I made a big crack on the side of one of them. I don't wear nail polish or have glue but I do have clear nail polish for other projects and tea bags. This will help immensely, thank you!
I put aside the gule. The outcome has shown to be much healthier, For my nails, eyelashes, and hair. Recently I got a chipped nail. I didn't want to cut it, so I Found this video. WOW! 😲This works. 💯 Thank you for sharing this tip. 👍👍From A new subscriber!👍
I've been trying to grow my natural nails and all has been going well, except for the other day I hit it at work and it cracked like yours but since my nails are longer though, I knew if I didn't do anything it was gonna rip bad...I used paper towel with 1ply as it was the only thing near me, it worked great! Now that I've seen this video I know how to better refine it when it comes time to change out my gel polish and recover the crack. At least until it's grown out enough that I can clip it
My nails are so thin from wearing acrylic nails for 30+ years that they hurt, I've started using tea bags, I put it on the tip of my nails and put several coats of base gel to make them thicker, file to smooth, use gel color and a gel top coat. It works amazing, doesn't chip or peel.
I had to remove my gel at home due to the virus, and now I have a split in one of the nails. Thanks for this as I thought I was doomed to catch it on everything. I m so gonna try this and hope it will work with just regular polish over it. Not gel at home. Might you do a video for us under these emergency nail conditions?
Thanks for the tip Liz! Please, can you do a video with all the gel base coat work in natural nail including the protective overlay and the correct form to work with diferent systems as you told us in your video...Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video I’ve tried tea bags before but with glue. I just broke a nail again and I had to find a way to fix the little bigger than hairline crack. The nail is now fixed and all nails are gel base and top coated ready for my next nail strip polish mani. I may even seal that in with another base and top coat of gel to give me a little extra strength wear out of the polish :)
Great tips! I've used tea bags many times. Coffee filters and super glue when in a pinch. I prefer cheap filters. They're thinner. So, less filing to even it out. Sally Hansen also has brush on glue. Not long lasting by any means, but if you have a break far back (Ouch!!!,) it can be a life saver.
Thank you. I just broke a long natural nail on its side and this video saved my nail. It broke in a way that if I were to cut it, it would hurt way too much. Much love
Thank you for your clever tea bag idea, your so ingenious! The breakings i have to fix are mostly fixable with gel. I have silk but never used it. Change of subject, i have a client that has very large nails, she hates it so much. I can't wait to try your pinching technique with gel on her. Hope it will make her less large nails.
I had a split on my finger and tried polish and even superglue but after the failed attempts and a nail that all it even further I tried this and can finally say I found some relief. Thank you so much for showing this and helping with my nail problem😊💜
Thank you, I've had a problem with 2 nails that have cracked too far down to cut them out yet, I have tried filing them down and redoing the gel for them to just keep cracking! Which can be so painful, this worked a treat, many thanks
This is such a great trick! I think it's very good that you include it in your series. Funnily enough I think this is better known among hobbyists than professionals, perhaps because they have fewer other options?
Wonderful tutorial! I've seen some use silk for similar cracks, but your up-close views and explanations were really helpful for SEEING what you were talking about. Since I'm not really a tea drinker, I think I might opt for getting some silk. Thank you so much!
Great video Liz! What an awesome tip. I have a client who has a cracking problem with her skin around her nails free edge that I’ve been trying to figure out how to stop. Maybe you have the answer. Her skin always cracks by the corners of the free edge and down her side wall. Do you have any experience as to why this is happening? I told her to keep them moisturized but I’m not sure if it’s helping or if she’s just not doing it. I have yet to find any help or answer. Poor girl. She thought it was the gel overlay causing it to crack but she took a break from gel nails and it still happens. 🤷🏼♀️
She could be allergic to soap or something. My mom gets that when she uses dish soap. I would recommend she see a dermatologist and also she should keep a log of what she gets on her hands on a daily basis. People often apply all kinds of things regularly without thinking about it and it definitely sounds like dryness but could also be caused by an allergic reaction. An MD is best to help her.
Hi. I am relatively new to your channel but I am finding it so helpful already. I was just wondering if you have tried Polygel or any like that yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Maybe an idea for a video?
This just changed my life.. Do you have any tips for at home gel nail beginners? Such as what gel brands, light brands, or full kits as well? I'm a bit out of my depth here and reluctant to throw money at product that will fail me but I'm ready to start! If anyone has any suggestions, would be appreciated!
The problem with nail glue is it doesn't work well on everything and it is such a brittle product that it breaks down quickly. Gel also has a hard time adhere to nail glue. With acrylic a lot of people apply right over glue with no problems, but gel does not like glue.
@@TheNailHub I guess my experience has been atypical, then. I lay the nail glue over the break, lay the tea bag on top of that, then more glue, let dry, buff, and do gel polish manicure over that. It lasts weeks. And, it takes a couple of acetone soak offs before I have to redo the repair (the glue lasts). Maybe I'm using bionic nail glue or something. 😂 I am eager to try the tea bag with gel polish next. Although, the hard gel overlay you've advised me on from my previous questions has really fixed my one nail that splits, to the point I don't even need the tea bag patch.
Wow what a brilliant idea haha it'll certainly be a great talking point in my salon when I get the teabags out & what a great dinner party chat which could go on for some hours, I love it, its such fun. Thanks Liz for yet another of your fab idea's. Love from across the pond. Xv
I’m going give this a shot soon on a long crack>1.5 mm down into the nail Ed. You mentioned using any basecoat you have on hand, and also curing the product for 30 seconds (and I heard a beep). Can you clarify, is there a specific device to use to cure it or is it just letting it sit for a while?
Oh hey I'm not Liz and I don't know about that, but you might be interested: *Nail Career Education* has videos on the subject! Liz has collaborated with her a few times. Her name is Suzie, and she has a series of videos with Grant who is a nail biter! She's even got a playlist on her channel! She gives really great advice about habitual nail biters especially in the first couple videos, I'd really recommend them!
Tea bags are just made of paper, i use a silk wrap, Some better wigs have a Meshed thin fiberglass trim at the top of the wig, that you have to trim, that works very good too
I recently purchased a nail strengthening base coat and I was wondering if I can use that to hold the tea bag in place instead of the gel base coat you used.
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but would this work with a non-gel hardening base coat? I don't intend on using gel overtop, just regular polish. Thank you in advance!
Ive also used coffee filters but mostly been using toilet paper for years cuz it is fibrous n tears apart easily. If you pull the end instead of cutting you wont see a definite line when patching a long nail. Then you can still encapsulate with gel or acrylic.
So I forgot to do my IBX treatment before I did my set. A few days ago I slammed my non-dominant index finger in such a way that the whole enhancement ripped off and I have a deep crack that lifted from my nail plate and tore my hyponychium. It's no longer hurting, but i'm worried if I don't repair it, it'll completely crack the tiny amount that's holding it on. Would it be safe to do the IBX treatment before doing the repair? Thanks a ton girl.
When you file in between layers of gel, won’t the filings stick to the tacky layer? I’m currently following along to your video and am not sure if I should wipe off the sticky-ness then file and then apply the gel again? Or... This might be an obvious answer to most so I’m sorry if it is but, my tear is almost from side to side so I want to get it right the first time to avoid a painful removal:/ Please help! Thank you!! I love your videos too btw 💜
onevsa: If your nails are tearing often, you need to back up and address the reason. Most of the time it is lack of nutrients you are ingesting. Look up Dr Eric Berg and nails. Don't just react to the result, prevent it in the first place.
Yes there are lots of different methods, but since I'm doing a full fundamental video series I had to include this so people know how to fix nails under their gel polish without the risk of it cracking or breaking again through the product. :)
My mom always used toilet paper when she broke a nail. Would you be able to do this with regular polish? I'm trying not to use gel polish. Love your video!
Hi, I just broke my nail as I was due for a refill. I have acrylic powder on my own nails, no extensions. My nails are very long now and my pinkie broke right across my nail bed. It was/is painful. The nail broke just above where the nail bed starts. There is still enough nail bed under it that the nail still holds on but it cracks and bleeds every time I bump it against something. I have a nail appointment where they will have to file and refill. Should I try your method or just cut it off? I am currently trying to hold it in place with a bandaid as it has not broken off completely. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I use gel cleanser, which is normally mostly isopropyl alcohol with a little bit of acetone in it. I have a video here on my channel about how to make your own gel cleanser, and I highly recommend you watch it.

Thank you, thank you, Liz!!! I’m always learning so much when I visit your channel. I can’t wait to try this on a client of mine. 💜
But ur a man
strawberrycakes yeah so
what difference does that make?
Don’t throw away the tea, put it in a diffuser 😃. Great tutorial for a quick fix!
Lol. Trust me I have enough tea to last me a lifetime.
Who else searched up homemade tea infuser 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Betsy, how did the super glue work? Thanks!
@@Me-dl1tx it works just like nail glie but it's stronger. If you have nail glue use this, if you can't find any use super glue
I've heard that super glue can damage nails, be wary.
Thanks Liz. I suffer regularly from cracks on both thumb and pointer fingers and have done for years! Finally I watch your video and see a way forward. I will, one day and with your expert tips and tricks, get the nails I would love and which god definitely did not give me. Thanks.

This was INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you! I sure wish I'd known about this trick 3 days ago when I filed down a cracked nail!
Thank you for this video! I always have cracks on the sides of my nails. They always tear into the nail bed, so they are SO sore, and will even bleed. Now I know I can prevent that!
Love all your videos!
I used to get cracks wherever my nails grew out. Turns out I needed a jojoba-based nail oil. It only happens when I slack off using oil.
You are so gorgeous!
I need your skin care routine.
Glad I found your channel. I just cracked my nail and it's been getting caught on everything. So happy I can repair it and not have to just cut it off too short. Thanks!
I have done this for a while on myself but I tear the teabag for uneven, thinned out edges for less filing. Great tutorial, thank you!
Well I googled fix a cracked finger nail and clicked on this, LIFESAVER, exactly what I was looking for, I have tea bags now to find clear nail polish in my wife's drawer,thank you thank you!!, I can't wait to try this, cheers 🤠
Glad I could help!
Have split nails often and annoying when I have to file my nail down, Thanks for this tip and video Awesome I don’t have to file my nail down 😊👍
I have used a Kleenex once as well and it worked great in a pinch. But I usually use silk.

Used to drink Red Rose. Now I'm into Tetley...much smoother, less bitter.
Love the way you explained this video, to the nail fanatic's like me, I love anything that has to do with nails, adore your gorgeous brows too .
That is a very good job and cheap to do as well what i want to know Liz would that stop your nail from growing or slow the growth.
I am gonna try it + ty
I was gonna lose my nail so may that's help ty again :3
I'm so glad you posted this because as it turns out I had to use it today!
Thank you, I've had a problem with 2 nails that have cracked too far down to cut them out yet, I have tried filing them down and redoing the gel for them to just keep cracking! Which can be so painful, this worked a treat, many thanks
Wow! This actuallly works and saves me from having to spend a tenner on superglue with brush! Thanks for posting!
I did this with paper towel because I had NOTHING else and it worked like a charm!
Oh i just did this a couple of days ago too, works great 😁
Thank you so much for this clever tutorial!! It worked!! xx
Great to hear!
This is such a great trick! I think it's very good that you include it in your series. Funnily enough I think this is better known among hobbyists than professionals, perhaps because they have fewer other options?
That is very true!
You just saved my entire manicure! Yay thank youu!
I put a silk wrap over my tear nail. Works beautifully. Thanks for sharing.
This is revolutionary! Thanks so much for all your knowledge!
OMG yes, I knew about this great hack for decades ago Lol So glad you made this video bc I had completely forgotten about it!! 😁👍🌸💓
Gracias!!! 💖

Thank you I knew before this technique but I was using glue!! It did work but yours is much neater thanks a million!!
Hi I Tried this idea on my thumb I love it!! Thanks for sharing this idea , plz send more helpful ideas.
Thank you so much for this video. This is the first time I’ve see this done.🙏🏼
Hi. I am relatively new to your channel but I am finding it so helpful already. I was just wondering if you have tried Polygel or any like that yet? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Maybe an idea for a video?
Wow this was a super fix it inexpensive way to fix my cracked nail. Thank you so much.
Brilliant ❤❤❤
LOVE this video, i hate having to use Super Glue...i tend to get more on my than on my nails. Awesome fix! 👌🏼
Thank you. This really works. Wish I had discovered this simple trick years ago. Amazing:)))
This recommendation is so useful thank you so so much
This just changed my life..

I'm so addicted to your videos.
I’m going give this a shot soon on a long crack>1.5 mm down into the nail Ed. You mentioned using any basecoat you have on hand, and also curing the product for 30 seconds (and I heard a beep). Can you clarify, is there a specific device to use to cure it or is it just letting it sit for a while?
Dear Liz, wow what a fantastic nail trick could this technique be used on helping a habitual nail biter?
Oh hey I'm not Liz and I don't know about that, but you might be interested: *Nail Career Education* has videos on the subject! Liz has collaborated with her a few times.

Thanks for your video, will I follow the same technique if I have gel polish on and my nail breaks?
Tea bags are just made of paper, i use a silk wrap, Some better wigs have a Meshed thin fiberglass trim at the top of the wig, that you have to trim, that works very good too
I recently purchased a nail strengthening base coat and I was wondering if I can use that to hold the tea bag in place instead of the gel base coat you used.
Mind. Blown.
Sorry if this seems like a silly question, but would this work with a non-gel hardening base coat? I don't intend on using gel overtop, just regular polish. Thank you in advance!
You can use regular polish with this technique but you have to wait for the polish to dry.
Thanks for the tips and tricks! And I love your ring!
thank youuuu this hack saved me!!
Nice!!!! Can you do a video on why you can't use acid primer for gel nails and if non acid primer can be used on acrylic nails.
THXXX SO MUCH NOW I CAN FIX MY NAIL
awesome thank you i paused video to do this !!
Ive also used coffee filters but mostly been using toilet paper for years cuz it is fibrous n tears apart easily. If you pull the end instead of cutting you wont see a definite line when patching a long nail. Then you can still encapsulate with gel or acrylic.
Karen Carlos Same here on coffee filters. Never thought of toilet paper. Good idea!

Ok, I’m a little spooked by TH-cam now. I found a cracked nail this morning and this video was in my recommended videos…😮
When you file in between layers of gel, won’t the filings stick to the tacky layer? I’m currently following along to your video and am not sure if I should wipe off the sticky-ness then file and then apply the gel again? Or...

I love your videos too btw
💜
Hi, yes clean the gel with alcohol first, then file.
thx 4 adding an alt to glue
Just did it! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so very much I need it my own nails are tearing often, so now I know how to fix it , senior friend 🤭😷
onevsa: If your nails are tearing often, you need to back up and address the reason. Most of the time it is lack of nutrients you are ingesting. Look up Dr Eric Berg and nails. Don't just react to the result, prevent it in the first place.
CAN you say what you applying in nails???is it nail shainer?
Cool, your helping others with more knowledge of a not too common video, but I did already watch a few video's of just this kind of nail repair.
Yes there are lots of different methods, but since I'm doing a full fundamental video series I had to include this so people know how to fix nails under their gel polish without the risk of it cracking or breaking again through the product. :)
thanks!
Thankyou Liz I have two cracks one on each finger opposite to each finger
This is very useful thanks for sharing🙏🏽🥰
Awesome video! Thanks
This just saved me! Thank you for this :)
Thanks, liz! Love the information.
Does it have to be gel or can it be normal nail polish?
Does this work with dip gel base too ?
Always killing it with the best videos
Can I ask where you got the poster at the back in the wall with the gold and hand with what looks like Gem Stones xx
Very clever ☺. Thank you for sharing.
My mom always used toilet paper when she broke a nail.
Would you be able to do this with regular polish? I'm trying not to use gel polish.
Love your video!
Toilet paper might not be strong enough to reinforce.
@@TheNailHub can you use regular nail polish?
My grandmother taught me the tea bag/ coffee filter trick back in the 80s with using super glue.
Fantastic I’ll try that 🙂
Hi, I just broke my nail as I was due for a refill. I have acrylic powder on my own nails, no extensions. My nails are very long now and my pinkie broke right across my nail bed. It was/is painful. The nail broke just above where the nail bed starts. There is still enough nail bed under it that the nail still holds on but it cracks and bleeds every time I bump it against something. I have a nail appointment where they will have to file and refill. Should I try your method or just cut it off? I am currently trying to hold it in place with a bandaid as it has not broken off completely. Any thoughts would be appreciated. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow love this.
Do you have to use gel for this????
What did you clean your nail with after the top coat?
I use gel cleanser, which is normally mostly isopropyl alcohol with a little bit of acetone in it. I have a video here on my channel about how to make your own gel cleanser, and I highly recommend you watch it.
