Nail repair FAQ
How do I fix a cracked natural nail with a silk wrap?
Buff the surface lightly and remove the dust. Brush a thin layer of resin over the crack, lay on a piece of silk cut slightly larger than the crack, then seal it with more resin. A dusting of filler powder adds strength. Let it set, then file and buff smooth.
Can I repair a damaged toenail during a pedicure?
For a cosmetic fix, yes: Gehwol Nail Repair Gel is a UV-cured resin made for rebuilding damaged or brittle toenails; follow the Gehwol directions. If the nail shows pain, swelling or signs of infection, do not cover it and refer the client to a health professional.
