How To Fix A Split Nail - Tea Bag Method

[20gigglez14]

So the nail will bond back together ? Lol just asking...

[Haylstrom]

@20gigglez14 nope but it will stay stuck together so you can grow it out so you dont have to cut your nail short :)

[GlitterMakeup06]

when would you take the tea bag off 

[cherishwilkes]

i hate china glaze. thwy never fully dry. they stay tacky

[havatzeleth]

Thank you so much! I just filed my nails about 2 days ago because they were too long and one just broke, so I was in serious trouble... But I've done this and it looks great, you've saved my life and my nails! :)

[chubbycheekstoi]

THANK YOU! reallly works! now i can have my long nails without always having to start over when one nail breaks. :D

[TeddyLovesFaygo]

Oh my gosh! THANK YOU!

[clairemarie231]

I've been told to do multiple layers of tea bag and nail hardener and then take a nail file to even it down to a normal thickness. I don't know if that'd actually work better but it's a thought!

[marilouthegreat]

thank you thank THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!i ALWAYS have split nails on my thumbs!!!!!!and all my other nails are gorgeous and i had to shorten them just so they could match the thumbs!!HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!!

[MrSandyrabbit]

[rockergirl2491]

[elleoenigma]

When my friend's fingernail fell off they did this at the salon! how cool, now I know what you're talking about

[elleoenigma]

[thestaceymarie83]

This is really good! I never new about this until now I have so much trouble with my nails breaking and been really weak in defiantly going to try this out :), thanks Imogen... Your a star :) ♥

[Thejahmily]

But does it repair the naiL completely to natural state?? after how many weeks do you have to take it off?

[lovelydiva06]

loveeee the blue, so pretty, you have fabulous nails, so long

[Emocliae]

Wadsworth constant applies

[saracafofo]

thank you soo much my nail just broke and i run for the computer to try finding a way of fixing it :)

[Emocliae]

Had to tear off the edge of the torn nail about a week ago - can't believe I didn't see this earlier!

Genius!

[beckvxo]

This is genius!

[oreochick24]

I just did it.... Cross your fingers

[hamtaropuff]

omg i cant believe this works, thanx for the tip!

[OliMeow]

I use the tea bag method for big cracks but for little one's I prefer Krazy Glue, it actually holds really well. Good video btw. (;

[vixeyj]

If I didn't see this I would have never believed it worked. That's so cool. Great tip. Thank you.

[Vikkilouiserawlings]

That is such a good idea :) Thank you x

[Maplegurl789]

How long do u keep It on?

[HannahVoong]

@foxylocksextensions

PLease reply!

is a split nail basically like a nail that is starting to break on the side; like a tear and how does it fix your nail?!

[cina26]

does this method help repair your nail or is it just a quick fix?

[mkg0888]

I have tried it and man it works, currently have it on 4 nails lol. Thanks for sharing this wonderful tip

[phelmlinger]

Very good idea. I can't wait to try it.

[bvbkilljoy]

[Helloholabonjour1]

[missbeeline]

question. does this repair the broken nail or simply cover it to prevent further breakage?

[missbeeline]

Awesome tip I'm going to try it! Love your vids just subscribed!

[Rose72596]

[blackfrangypani]

You're a life saver. Wished I'd come across you video earlier.

[Cuqcake]

=.= i wish i saw this video before i went and cut mine...

[TheChantalxox]

Nice! I bought a kit that has this method with the paper/cloth strips and i wanted to find my own paper so i caould save money and never thought of tea bags. I am going to do this on all my nails to reinforce them, they are all very thing and brittle.

[rhiannonanwen]

i have done it , but im just wondering when would you take the tea bag off?

[haliemackenzie]

I don't know if it's just me.. But I've tried a few times to subscribe to u but it just says that I can't.. I am on my iPhone.. Maybe u have restrictions up?! I'm not sure.. I don't know anything about YouTube.

[Coolso3]

I am am about to do this to my toe nail!

[rebelsouljaz]

how do you fix a REAL split nail? not a fake one you girls use

[DearJoselyne]

@rebelsouljaz her nails are real...they're just really long. But real!

[Honeybabymarie]

does it remained fixed after to take the teabag off???????????????

[hmm101alot]

i actually want to cry...this is actually a life saving tip. especially as I have a broken nail. Just the over day i cut off two broken nails. thank you sooooooooooo much :-)

[camstone23]

if i do this before putting on nail polish, do you think it would reduce nail polish chipping?

[mishsp]

What a good idea! I have never heard of it before!! I always thought that once it was split, that's it, thank you so much for the tutorial :)

[bigL180]

@ foxylocksextensions i dont have a tea bag :( can i use some sort of replacement??? plz someone reply! MY nail really hurts its in bad Condition!!

[Guriteru]

tbag lol

[sKUNKSmCgEE]

i sooo came here to fix my nail to polish it up a light purple but i cnt stop staring at her blue wet shiny pretty nails lol

[jassmineoea]

wow, a fabolous method, i didn't know yet untill i saw this video, thank you , i will try it

[teenagedream303]

so simple, yet works so well!

[KTHiNKSoFu]

this is a lifesaver! I have a big event in a couple of days and I split a nail and really didn't want to have to cut my nails short.

[missjenayyy]

this has changed my nails for life, thank you =]

[RadMaxiPad]

you have really pretty nails and thanks for the tip!

[prettyprinsses5]

great vid  i i actualy laughed when u said u used the tea bag method i thought of sommin else :) xx

[UrbabiiAngeL]

this is sorta like silk wrapping your nails.

[xxxzizel4ever98xxx]

Could you please make some videos of how we can design our nails??i mean some tutorials

[ATaleOfLaceAndBlood]

You savior!!!

[sams123973]

using nail glue instead of hardener works better for me : )

[missamyylouise122]

How do you know when your nail is fixed or when you take the teabag off??? Love your videos by the way..xx

[Cheyenne21890]

@missamyylouise122 If you use this method to save the nail that is splitting, the nail doesn't actually get "fixed" it sort of patches the crack and helps it so that it doesn't go further or break off a chunk of the nail. The problem won't actually go away until the split grows out and you can file that area off. IE if you don't want to cut the nail short and wish to keep it long, the teabag acts as a wrap so you can keep the length while you wait for the split to grow out. I hope that helps.

[CxChaos23]

This worked perfectly on my nail today. My nails dont usually break, but today one did and I remembered this video. Thanks so much!

[misscatlover1]

would you have to use a white tea bag?

[kpopismylife98]

how would you know when your finger nail is fixed

[95mzwinnie]

u just saved like all my nails i love u

[xxcheeky8zxx]

omg!!! that is friggin GENIUSSS!!! :D thank you for re-creating this video!! btw, that blue nail polish is gorguuuuus!!! :P xox

[teddyrows]

umm... how do u take it off and wen?

[jaideeh]

That is pure genius! lol, next time i break a nail im gonna try this thanks!

[SiLlyGoOse4321]

haha tea bag method. I thought it would have something to actually do with the tea on ur nail lol. Its just a patch! u could use a thin gauze like material too. even nail silk used for acrylic nails. cute.

[MrFizzypop012]

Thanks Lauren for the vid!

[PSYCHOTICxBITCH]

Great tip, specially for me, cause I break mine all the time because of my job..

Gonna try it next time ^^ Thanks hun!

[jeforgy]

WOW! love it!!

[PekoLOVESYOU]

I do this too...except I use toilet paper haha :)

[Blaize2001]

Can you use this method to prevent your nail from breaking in the first place?

[FaKATz3]

@MakeMeVikki921 Of course you remove it after your polish is chipping, then you just redo it. - -''

[bestapplecustomer]

Genius!

[Shadowpuppy2211]

Dont be sorry hun, was just informing you that professional's do it salons :)

[PrettyiinPink2k8]

does it repair you nail or just hide it? xx

[TheLennypops]

i did this method in college doing beauty but instead of tea bags we used tissue paper, as in facial tissues and it works just as well although its a little bit more tricky as the tissue is delicate so i will try the teabag and see if its easier xx

[Missy1726]

@vintageflipside I'm pretty sure it just hides it

[xXRacheleXx]

you can also use a layer of a tissue

thats what i used to do when my nails broke a lot

and if you use nail glue its a little more secure and you can soak it off with polish remover

[xXRacheleXx]

@vintageflipside it just hides it

[PinkSkiiTtLeZzYoanNa]

OMG THANKSSS!!!!!! I LOVE YOU!! I cut my nails countless times because one split at the tip. i would just keep picking at the little split and it got bigger and then i had to cut my nails off :( this is my salvation!

[xoMindox]

This is just amazing!!!

[Gymgirl101100]

@MakeMeVikki921 Just untill its grown back i would think

[sams123973]

thank you so much...there's this expensive thingy they sell here....the chinese wrap.....and that's the exact purpose of it. This will save me alot of monney

[timber149]

Queen of Blend SENT ME!! Thanks for the tip!

[LuiTayMello]

Why not just use brush on nail glue that also helps...

[malyboobarbee]

Could I use a coffee filter instead of dumping out all my precious tea?!?!

[timber149]

@malyboobarbee That's a great idea. I wonder if they are thin enough though? If they aren't thin enough maybe you could get tea from a Dollar Tree? But you have a great idea!

[binkeylala30]

did'nt misschevious make this up first?

[Shadowpuppy2211]

@binkeylala30 This has been around for years!!!!!!! It's a well known tip especially in the beauty/nail industry

[binkeylala30]

@Shadowpuppy2211 oh...sorry didnt know that..

[aizirk14]

This is genius

[beautifulbutterfly55]

so... will the tear go away eventually or do i have to keep the teabag on foreverr?

[squirralicious]

[NiteStarGirl]

[bookwormadv]

i have a nail that's broken and bottom there's a red thing but up there's a little piece of hard nail left, WHAT DO I DO to fix it?

(comments featuring surgery will not be accepted).

[TheGabbyVasquez]

what about strengthening your nails if they break easily?? what can I do??

[mizzpicklezz]

@TheGabbyVasquez you can try rubbing them with a tiny bit of olive oil that may help a little

[1yo2many]

What if your entire nail rips off (past the nubby part), and there only a little bit of hard nail left?

[chickenlikingood]

ur nail are really pretty ..and i dont just mean the nail polish..the shape and everythign is perfect

[annaVICIOUS]

[bratxx666]

[LegionX235]

My pinky nail broked a week ago and it was bleeding under the nail. It broke up and I snap it back down and I shorten it to the tip of the finger. It healed to an extent and stopped at some point. The bleeding stopped but it still hurts a little. The white area is wider then the other nails to where it stopped healing. I was wondering if it's too late to do anything about it?

[retrorockie]

Okay maybe its just me but I can't find China Glaze anywhere. :p

[lilyrockera]

wow u just saved my nails, thanx.

[kerryjm101]

[AznLiishii123]

lol teabag method . . . . . .

[Jeanette162]

[winterpaws01]

If you paint over the break with varnish then how do you remove the varnish when it is chipped? Would you remove the patch as well?

[srtss13]

i love those nail polish colours! i have the blue, but its from sally henson i think. dont you just love the colour?!?!

[ErikaJLopez]

i think its better to replace the polish with some nail glue..it worked better for mee

[kukulik101]

[lludmilla]

[DevTakinOver]

[katieyoungX]

hey i was just wondering, when you have the teabag on your nail will it eventually heal the break, or will it just protect it from breaking more?x

[apwxo]
