Crikey!! How to use Silk Wrap - Part 3 (comp.)

Ok!!

Let's complete fixing a cracked nail!!

(If you're looking for Part 1, please click here)

(If you're looking for Part 2, please click here)

15. Apply a thin layer of glue on the silk.

 

16. Sprinkle Filler Powder to cover the glue

from 5cm (about 2 inches) above the nail.

 

17. Remove the powder carefully from the skin.

(This will avoid gluing your skin!)

 

18. Using glue in a bottle / tube,

squeeze out some glue to let the powder absorb it.

(Please do not use a brush type glue or the brush will go hard)

 

19. Wait for the glue to get dry and

repeat steps 15 to 18 for 2~3 times.

20. It looks like this.

The surface is a little bumpy at this stage,

but the crack shouldn't move any more.

 

21. File and shape the nail.

 

22. Make the surface smooth,

using a sponge buffer.

(Please be careful not to buff the natural nail)

 

23. Make the entire surface of the nail shiny,

using a smooth sponge buffer or shiner.

 

Completed!!

You can still see the crack, but it doesn't move at all,

so it is not gonna crack any further(^-^)v

I recommend you to do this repair

when a crack is deep and may expose the nail bed

(pink part of the nail)

like in the photo above.

Well,

I'm sorry for taking so long to finish this tutorial.

I hope it helps you(^-^)

Thank you~!!
