If you have ever had a manicure or pedicure gone wrong, you know how frustrating it can be to try and fix it yourself. Whether your nail technician used the wrong color polish or made your nails too short, there are ways that you can fix botched nails at home. Here are a few tips on how to fix common problems with your nails:
If your nail technician used the wrong color polish, you can easily remove it with acetone-free nail polish remover. Soak a cotton ball in the remover and hold it over the affected area for a few seconds. Gently wipe away the polish until it is completely removed. You may need to repeat this process a few times if the polish is very thick or dark.
If your nails are too short, you can use clear nail glue to extend them. Simply apply a small amount of glue to the end of each nail and allow it to dry completely. Once dry, filed down any rough edges and paint your nails as usual.
If you have chips or cracks in your nails, you can use clear nail polish or reinforcement stickers to repair them. For small chips, simply paint over them with clear nail polish. For larger cracks, cut a reinforcement sticker to fit over the crack and secure it with clear nail polish or super glue. Allow everything to dry completely before proceeding with your manicure or pedicure as usual.
