Wow I always cut off all my nails to match the rest. Then I dread growing them back. Thank you!!
Sameeee😭😂
Litteraly same 😂 woah I’m 5 years late
And 5 years later I still end up cutting my nails. This video helped me bid more time but not enough to have my broken nail grow all the way out. I get air pockets on the edge of my nail and the sikwrap ends up peeling off. Re applying it too much of a hassle.
Me to!
I love your pronunciation! It's very important for me as a non-native speaker. I don't have to strain my ears to understand what you are saying and I can fully concentrate on your videos, which I have to say are amazing! You are doing a great job :) Keep it up!
This was SUPER helpful... I lost a large corner and thought there was no possible repair. I bought the supplies you listed, fixed it, and you can't even tell it happened. Like magic! Thank you so much.
I'm old, in the 70's we used coffee filters with base coat or then crazy glue after that was invented! cheap ones better as they are thinner and if buffed well they don't show much even leaving just a clear coat.
Thanks for that tip
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for doing this series. A couple of weeks ago I ended up breaking two nails within 24 hours of one another - one was a full break and the other was a corner break. Because I had seen your video of repairing a full break, I was able to modify your method to make it work for me (I didn't have the gel system or silk wraps, but I had a tea bag, nail glue, and the Orly Rescue powder). If I hadn't seen you save your full break, I probably would've just cut back all my nails and been very sad about it for a month while they grew back out. Next time I get into a Sally's I'm going to look for the non-UV gel system because I love how transparent your patches look. Thanks again!
OMG. I just randomly found your video and I gotta say, first of all I'm totally jealous of your square nails...like so jealous that I want those nails. lol
Secondly, thank u so much for this tutorial. I didn't know that you could repair chipped nails. Usually I just cut my nails off when they break but this looks so awesome.
My nails curl inwards and that was how I found your video and then I saw few more videos and they are so informative. I've never really taken great care of my nails ever. And you just showed me a new love for taking care of nails.
Love it. Hope to see more tutorials
Almost cried at the thumbnail (get it).
WHY DID YOUR NAIL HAVE TO DESERVE THISSS!!
Ba dum tss
😂😂 (nice name btw 😉)

Sorry for the nail break! Your repair tutorials are most helpful. I hope it grows out quickly.
This is such a helpful video. I had a corner break off today and don't know where it went and I didn't want to cut them all down just for that one corner... so I searched and here you are! I even have that ASP lightless gel and silk wraps so I am going to do this.
To my simple pleasures. I am 71 years old and I bit my nails for years but I've let them grow for about 20yrs they are so soft like paper so I put several coats of sally hanson diamond strength even under the nail but I'm so glad I came across your video your time and patience I think most of us are grateful for I really appreciate it as their was lots of tips that I am going to try so please ignore people who are so inconsiderate be blessed and keep the videos coming cheers.
This is the very best tutorial about partial repair of natural nails I have ever seen! Thank God u shared your experience with us!!! Thank u!
I can't be the same way with my nails when something happens. I always obsess and can't take it, so I cut the nail off. I really admire people who do repairs and feel okay. Great video!!
Thank you Thank you. I thought I was going to have to cut my nail short because I broke a corner today at work. Now I can fix it with my gel products. I love Gel products
i love your videos, i never thought about your hands being dry, it amazes me what people have to comment on.. it seems to me it takes more energy to point out something wrong then to just say great job, or just something nice in general..just want to let you know you inspire me to do my nails ( even though i rarely get around to it), there may be hope for my nail polish obsession.. quick question, i read somewhere you can only keep nail polish for like a year, how true is that?
NOT true at all! I have some polishes that are close to 20 years old & fine. Depending on the formula they may thicken but just get some polish thinner. The colors I used in the mani I have on right now (tutorials not up, but pics on Instagram if you're interested) I know for a fact are at least 4 years old because I posted another look with a couple of them back in 2010
good to know because i was getting worried
princessnjj you are so damn rude go to hell
excuse me who are you and why would i want to go where you live? watch ya mouth because its obvious you cant read
shut your dry duty mouth
That silk wrap looks fabo for splitting nails. Thank you for the tip
I have learned so much in just 3 video views. I don't have a problem growing my nails long but when I have a break it is a complete one and at my fingertip. I have been cutting all the nails down. I didn't even know they could be repaired. I will give repairing the nail a try. At least I can get use to the idea of cutting it later. I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. They are very easy to understand and it is easy to see what you are doing.
Just fixed 4 breaks and your method worked perfectly!!! Thanks.
OMG! I have been using the old method of silk wrapping from what seems to be a thousand years ago compared to what I've just witness you doing...LOL. Thanks na million.
Thank you for sharing this technique. I have naturally long growing nails and get the worst breaks where I'm left with no length and throw away the nail. Never knew you could patch nails. Will be looking out for a good kit.
I just bought all this stuff today to fix a broken corner, i got mine at salon services (as Im in the UK) which i think is the same as your Sallys. Love ALL your videos they've been great at teaching me so much, so thanx :)
Thank you for this tutorial, it was very helpful. I wished I'd seen this video before I cut off my nails because three of them broke. But I'll file this away for sure! Thanks again, great video!! : )
I'm using my husbands account to let you know that I really appreciate this video; I just broke the corners off of two nails, one on each hand. You've saved my life and my manicure. Again thank you! (Cat food cans with ring tops are hard to open and my cat was impatient!)
Oh those ring tops can be dangerous! I have a special kitchen gadget opener for them LOL
You did a great job! Good work Coette!
I'm so glad I found out about this product from you Anna =)
I am personally someone who loves having my nails done and my nails are naturally really thin so they break pretty easy.. This video really helped me! Thank you so much for showing your tips and tricks on nails. I didn't even know it was possible to fix a broken nail or chipped nail in a more natural way than just getting them redone or acrylic. You have awesome nail videos:-) Keep them up!
I have another tip! I had super dry brittle thin nails,and I heard about a product that sounded like a nail saver! People said it made your nails strong and long, and that it conditioned your cuticles! I didn't believe all the good reviews, but I ordered some and tried it, after a month my nails were stronger and growing out longer than I had ever been able to before! I highly recommend, the product is Bliss Kiss Simply Pure hydrating nail and cuticle oil, do your nails a favor and try it! I'm addicted, one broken nailie to another! Xx
Oh okay:-) Thank you so much for this tip!!! I have tried so many things and nothing has worked.. I am definitely going to look for this product and try it. Xx
+Emily Hagen I hope it works out for you like it did for me!
Thanks for sharing, nicely done, very informative, let's see when I need it on my long natural nails, simple and right on point
Simply love your very easy to follow and understand video. You're my hero. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoy!
Oh my gosh, I am soooo happy I found this vid. You are a lifesaver, I let my nails grow out too long and of course right before I had a trip to go on my nail broke! This was so easy, thanks again for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing another way to mend broken corners. Great job!
I tried this a few days ago, because the corner on one of my nails chipped off (the rest were ok). I am so glad I didn't have to cut all my nails, because of a break on one. Thank you so much for sharing this video!!
After watching your video, I ran out and got the same products you used LOL...love all of it, THANK YOU!!
You're like the nail magician. I enjoy your tutorials. They're always so informative and helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your time and knowledge with us. That's really very generous of you. You're awesome!
OMG. I literally just subscribed because I find her nails satisfying. Is that weird? I do not paint my nails or do manicure but I would gladly watch her getting her perfect nails done. I think it's because I am OCD.

I had no idea this could even be done. Very helpful.
ok so this was awesome, great information, now I can grow out my brittle little nails, LOL Thanks!!!
Hi Colette, of course your videos and tutorials are very helpful I have learned so much just watching you doing it thanks.
Your nails are beautiful! I was going to ask you in a newer video how you keep your nails from breaking and healthy I've found it. This video helped tremendously thank you so much!
Collette, from start to finish, when you are all alone without camera, how long does it take to do your nail prep to recieve polish? I'm guessing at least an hour. And then for plain polish, including Seche Vite, how long for that before you can walk out the door? You are truly a master of natural nails. I'm thinking you are a salon pro.
Oh, not long at all. I don't have a very long prep routine - after I take a mani off I usually use a sugar scrub & do my cuticles etc - maybe 15 mins on the slow side. Filing when necessary, but that's not all the time maybe 5-15 mins. And then before I polish I just swipe my nails with acetone to make sure they're fully clean. I can do a plain mani (base, 2 coats of color, top with seche) in about 15-20 mins depending on how neat I am & if I need to do any cleanup around the cuticles. And with seche vite I can literally walk out the door 5 mins after finishing
Very informative. I never would have thought to use silk wrap. Cool.
This is not a comment to bash you! I promise. This is a very helpful and thoughtful video, but I would like for you to hear me out. My nails are a tad bit longer than yours, and I know what it feels like to break, chip, and have to cut a nail, but I think that it'll be safer and much healthier to just cut them. Cutting your nails allow for the nail bed to harden and get stronger allowing for healthier and longer nail growth each time. If you're applying "product" to them, it will elongate growth time, or just stop growth completely until you cut them and let them have a fresh start. Nails are like hair!! Also, be sure to care for your cuticles, as I am sure you have mentioned.It is heart-wrenching when a nail is broken so much shorter than the rest, but if you allow it it's process and "healing" time it won't be long before it's back, and if you need to, cut the rest off with it. I recently got my nails cut half the length that they originally grow to be (due to a broken thumb nail) but my nails are growing back in and rather quickly! It's your decision though, and I think that you did a great job in your tutorial. Keep up the work. :)
That is true I just cut them so then they can grow longer
The more I cut my nails, the faster they grow. Except my thumbs. I have never had thumb nails. For some reason, they always crack in the corner of the nail bed before they even reach the end of my finger. So I’ve thought about just putting acrylics on my thumbs.
That really helps me and my daughters nail fix. Good video.
Great video! Love your nail tutorials and water marbling videos!
You are a nail genie!! So useful, as always!
your amazing for sharing this I love your nails thankyou I've been trying to grow them out but working with kids it's almost impossible, that is until now lol and don't listen to the haters people will always find a reason to criticize and be mean you keep doing what you like
Wow these are so cool!! I have never ever heard of these!! I will have to use these sometimes. Great vid. It helps explain it a whole lot
This is a LIFESAVER! Thank you! Your nails are awesome!
I love silk repair wraps! They used to sell them here in Belgium from Essence but the brand stopped selling it. Luckily my best friend is originally from America and goes back once a year to visit family so she brings back silk repair patches from Sally's.
I would never waste a whole strip on one break though! I cut a piece off.
I rarely get corner breaks but it was a very useful tutorial cause I would've never thought to use a repair patch on that!
This was so helpful. Going to go get some silk wrapping and gel now!
Thank you for making the tutorial!
Cool. Your nails are really growing out. Great job
This is fascinating, clearly explained & super useful! 💜 I only grow out my nails a few times a year because they're crappy & dude, massive respect for all these nail art folks who can function with nails longer than a few centimeters! All I get done is thrashing them against every available surface, lol...maybe now I can keep them grown out for a bit longer. Also, as stated, my nails are awful, & they enjoy tearing & breaking even when short! I really like the idea of building out a fugitive corner with gel & silk. I went through your set of mending videos & am on the way to your recommended one--thanks much for sharing this. I know it was made a while ago but hey, still good info! 💜💅💜
That's an awesome idea I mean I'm growing my nails out long and I watched this so I could know what to do if it happened and I'll definitely do this!!!!! What a brilliant idea
Thank you I absolutely love and needed this video
So useful. I will be doing this in the future
I love your mani. Perfection
Excellent tutorial!
Your nails grow so fast !!! I do agree with you also nails need to be clean and oil free when you polish the nails good job though
Very cool. I've never thought to do that with a patch
I love your videos, I find them 2b very helpful and informative. So thank u for taking the time 2make these videos and share your knowledge and talent with us. But I did want 2comment, y do people feel the need 2make comments about things that are so irrelevant like u having dry fingers or cuticle. I never c anything wrong with your hands or cuticle. The skin and cuticle always gets dry when messing with acetone. Anyways I just feel like u should just ignore comments like that and do your thing girl cause your videos are awesome. Much love.
Wow this is really great.
Such a helpful video - Thanks Collette!
Thanks for the helpful video, I always thought the patches would be hard but doesn't look so bad. I hate when a nail breaks and I have to cut the rest, so I think I will pick up some patches and try this next time!
Great job! Forget the haters, forge onward!! 😎
Thank you for this tutorial!! It was very helpful & I appreciate you and all you share! Sorry some people are such assholes that they have to point out stupid and irrelevant things. You are awesome and you are super talented so keep doing your thing girl!
I love this cause you have a broken corner and your with us 😘😘
I do something similar to this to patch my nails but I use the base coat of my gel polish instead of the asp glue. It doesn't smell nearly as bad and cures quickly under my led light. I developed my method after watching your earlier patching videos.
Love the videos by simple little pleasures//they are very helpful to me.
Colette: Your channel was mentioned in my recent video "My favorite TH-camrs." Love your videos!
thank you =)
This was very helpful! I love how you keep us updated on your other patches too. Thank you!
Wow thats pretty cool I had no idea this even was possible I would always get sad when one of my long nails would brake so I would just cut them all and let them grow again lol but now I can do this thank you :) great video
This was very helpful, I just have to figure out where to get the necessary items!
+Cindy Troxler I usually get mine at sallys if you have one near you - otherwise there are links to purchase online in the description box
I am so in love with your nail bed and its natural curve. I wish mine would grow like that :(
woah i just broke one of my nail's corner, filed it, and then i saw this video upload!
I can't believe u patched your thumb nail back on.😮 If mine breaks off like that, I just cut it all the way down and add a tip. I didn't know a silk patch was strong enough for that kind of break. As for corners, silk is very handy.😊
Thanks! This is helpful. Do the nail beds w/ silk wraps on them become smooth enough for a simple, nude color mani (typically I do 2 coats)?
yes
love the idea and video is perfectly made with details.
hi, i've got a few questions. first, can I use those products not for fixing, but just for hardening the nail, and kind of preventing it from breakage? and second, can I order those products on-line? PS love your videos
thanks for taking the time to show that. its was interesting.
you are a LIFE SAVER!!!!
great tutorial! I had no idea this was possible. one suggestion to help us see the transparent gel nail better, perhaps you can have a black piece of paper nearby so the clear tip can stand out and be more visible. Idk if this will really work, just an idea, but it's prob better than the white background. anyway, keep up the great work!
Excellent!!!
Como reparar uñas rotas// How to repair broken nails
Wonderful! Thank God for you!
Love your videos, they are always helpful and inspiring! I use the same gel kit but have to throw the brush away after one use. Would you be able to do a video showing how you store your gel brush and keep it clean for multiple uses? Thanks and God Bless!
I just have an empty polish bottle filled with acetone
I always wear 3 thin coats of sally hansen maximum growth and also 1 coat on the backs of my nails and they never ever break. It's awesome stuff.
Your nails are beautiful!
amazing technique really impressive.
I love your videos that are of this nature! I'm currently growing out my nails and I cracked my ring finger right before the nail bed. My question is if I just super glue it & use like a strengthening base coat will it grow back out?
yes I think so - for small breaks sometimes I'll just do glue, although if I have time I usually do a patch because I'm such a clutz
I've also used a foil form to build the broken section of the nail with the lightless gel.
The foil application will help avoid any need for a fill.
Wow, you have beautiful nails xx
Thanks! This was very helpful. I now know how to repair my broken nail! TY
I love ur videos. U r amazing at water marbling! BTW..ur hands never look dry...ppl can b so negative
I repaired my pinky nail following your tutorial & products, it worked wonderful. My nails brake a lot and i always end up cutting them all. Thanks. I had one little problem, the brush got stiff and hat to throw it away. What do you sugest to preserve the brush used to spread the gel, so i can use it more than once. Thank you for sharing.
I keep it in a polish bottle filled with acetone
That WAS very useful, as always, thank you for that x
I just discovered your videos... Very helpful! Do you have a video on changing the patches? I have one nail with a vertical split in it and it will never go together again im going to try this... But what do i do when iys time to change it? Lol help.. Thank you!
I don't have a video specifically on patches, but I do have one on the foil method which is what I use for patches & glitter. Basically cotton + 100% acetone, wrap in tinfoil to prevent evaporation
Thanks for sharing that :) I need to get some of the patches. It just doesn't matter what I do my nails are chipping or breaking :(
Thank you for this video. I wonder, can I use this for making nails longer?
I just started watching your videos today n I love them. Quick question tho, can u make a video of u changing ur patch. I'm new to this and I'm trying to learn as much as possible.
wow this is great never knew you could do this ...thanks so much for this!
I found this tutorial very useful! Thank you for sharing!
Perfect timing, I needed this...thanks a bunch
Good work. Try the cleaning step with alcohol, as acetone breaks the queratine bridges inside the nail making them break more.
