How to fix a broken gelnail + infill

Today I'll show you how to fix a broken nail and do an infill while you're fixing it.

The right side of my gelnail on my indexfinger was broken off (with tip) so I had to repair it and thought this would make a nice tutorial :). 

So here's the video:

And here are the steps:

1. Start off clean

Desinfect your tools before you use them with alcohol or something else. And ofcourse desinfect your own nails with a sanitizing gel.

2. File

Start filing off your color gel. I'm using and old 180grid file and a 240grid file. Remove your dust everytime your done filing, and make sure you have a special cloth or something for filing, so the dust won't get in to your gel.

3. Prep your nail for gel

Apply your form. I'll do a tutorial on this later. The video show you how to apply it. Make sure the shape of it matches the shape you want your nail to be. Then take your prep. Drain the excess liquid and apply it on to your nail. Let this dry for a second, and then take your primer. Again drain the excess liquid and apply the primer around your cuticle area. 

4. Apply your gel

Take your clear gel (or any color you prefer really) and build the shape of your nail where it's broken. I'm using a 1fase gel. Clean up around the cuticle area with your woodstick and cure. After 30 seconds remove your finger from the lamp and pinch for 10 seconds. Repeat this step for 3 times and then stay in the lamp for another minute. When it's completely cured, remove the form from your finger.

5. File

Remove any ridges and file a nice shape.

6. Build the nail

Now build the nail with a blush gel pink. Make sure the natural curve of the nail is nice. Clean up around the cuticle area with your woodstick and cure for 2/3 minutes.

7. Last time filing

And now make sure you don't see anything you don't like. Remove any ridges, make sure your shape is nice, and buff the nail with your whiteblock.

8. Final gel coat

Apply one final coat of clear gel, nice and thin and clean up around cuticle area and cure for 2 minutes.

9. Color gel

Now your nail is finished, you can apply the, in my case, pink color gel. Apply a sealing topcoat and you're done!

I hope this was helpfull.
