I just did this today! You have saved me from pain cause my nail was trying to split in the worst place! Thank You!! Xoxo
I am a new girl at Sally's, and this (and your other) videos have helped me a lot! I not only have more to talk about with customers, but now when they come in with chipped and damaged nails, I can help them out and suggest each of the products I saw you use to them. Thanks so much
This video was a life saver for me today! I split my nail in my middle finger and followed your directions and now you can't even see it! Thank you thank you! I love your videos!
Awesome video. I saw this a while ago but just tried it today. I have tried the teabag method but it worked for about an hour before breaking again. I used regular brush on nail glue, not the stuff you used, and it came out great. Thanks so much!
This is such a big help to me. I cannot believe that I am doing a nail repair on myself. I normally would just peel the nail off. Well explained. TFS! Happy Holidays!
I've been watching your videos for maybe two months now, and I have to say that you are by far my favourite nail lady with cutepolish coming in close behind. You're very real, you have a way of explaining things that makes even complicated manicures simple to do. There's no fluff of any kind anywhere! I've been able to amaze my friends and family with water marbling all because of you! Thank you for helping me realise how much I love nails. Yay career path realised :)
thanks to this video i have a silk patch on a deep split in my nail and i can polish over it no problem :) thanks so much
I never would have known about this if you hadn't of posted this video. Now I know I can maintain the length of my nails if I have a break.
Thank you for this, I've wondered for so long what a silk wrap/patch was and what it is used for.
I finally have nice nails and my thumb nail broke almost half way off, so i came across this video and $10 and 30 min. later, I have my nail back. A BIG THANX. I never even heard of this before.
SLP!!!! I KNEW IT; I knew exactly where to send someone to learn how to patch a broken nail(of any length).I have used the silk wraps for many moons and have not found a better product.And to the question of what if a nail breaks totally off? YES repair it.I will be glad to explain how on my messenger so as not to use SLP's space. Unless she wants me to answer here.
SLP you are a magnificent artist.

THANK FOR THE VIDEO, USED NAIL GLUE FOR YEARS IN THE END WHEN i HAD A SPLIT JUST LIKE YOURS, BUT MUCH FURTHER DOWN THE NAIL, i WOULD JUST FILE THE WHOLE NAIL RIGHT DOWN SO UNCOMFORTABLE. THINGS HAVE REALLY IMPROVED. AND WILL BE BUYING THE ITEMS YOU USED. THANKS AGAIN REALLY ENJOY YOU VIDEOS ONLY DISCOVERED YOUR TUTORIALS TWO MONTH NOW.
considering I still get many questions, some people would say I don't talk enough - just what part do you expect me to cut out?
@chickenlikingood If anyone misses a manicure, I always just tell them they can check it out on my blog =)
This vid was so helpful because I decided to stop the artifical nails. After years of wearing artifical nails my nails are not strong and I didn't know what to do until I saw your vid. Thank you so much!
@chelseainlove I think so. I have used patches on peeling/weak nails in addition to breaks like I show in this vid & they have really helped me =)
Thank you Collette, this has been so helpful. I have been watching your videos for a few years now and just now needed this nail patching I finally got a nail that I could save usually they snap off when I hit them on the door or what ever I bump. And I notice that your birthday day is the same as my hubby's July 14.

Thank you so much for this video! I bought the products about a week ago and just the other day my thumb nail broke. Normally I would've had to clip it and start over (which would've been devastating since my nails have been growing so well.) Thank you thank you thank you!! :)
This is so helpful. I tried the silk wraps + gel resin for my peeling nails and it worked like charm! Thanks for posting!
Glad I could help you out! I do apply them slightly differently now, if you're interested I'll be posting an updated version this weekend
@OasisOfBeauty I don't want to make any promises - because I am a huge procrastinator - but it is on my to-do list. I do take a biotin suplement, and I try to keep my nails moisturized, lots of lotion & cuticle oil. I also discuss products & nail maintenance tips about once a month on my blog =)
@RootsRunDeeep pretty much, yes =) I think wraps normally go over the whole nail though, to strengthen it, rather than just over a break or tear
@evcsgirl811 I do take a biotin supplement, other than that I try to keep my nails & cuticles very moisturized. When I have peeling tips, I have used patches like this to make them stronger until the peeling grows out.
If you head over to my blog, I've listed specific products that I like under the tag "Nail Maintence" =)
Thanks for sharing your technique! I used to do repairs with the tea bag technique, and though it was working, I had to do it ever time I changed my manicure. A Sally's just opened up in town (literally just opened on Monday), and I went to get the silk patches and some gel resin, and my 4 nails that I have to repair seem stronger than with the tea bag.
@LNETSA I don't cover my whole nail with the patch - just the part that's torn or damaged =) So it doesn't really make a difference as it grows out.
as I explain in the vid, they hold together small breaks so they can grow out =)
@PaviYapper Hmm, I've never been a nail biter so I don't really have any tips to stop from biting - but I do have a nail maintenance video, it is under my Tips & Tricks Playlist =)
@dena123abc I think nail oil is fine to apply as often as you want =) You can check out my nail maintenance vid for my full routine, I make sure to moisturize a lot & also take a biotin supplement. I think you can order from Sallys online, but if you're not comfortable doing that maybe there is an ulta in your area?
@kt1997ful it's like a reinforcement for you nail, so the entire tip doesn't break off if you get a small tear =)
Followed your directions, saved my manicures my times over!
@cosmicgirlg92 I don't know any solution other than just to let it heal, it can take a long time but eventually they should get better =)
This is great! I have a crazy vertical split on my nail and the tea bag mending seems to split pretty quick :( I am going to try this!
@SimpleLittlePleasues Your very welcome! I hope everything turns out alright for you. Just don't worry yourself to much about it. I know that is easier said than done but I really did not mean to worry you. I just wanted to let you know to have it checked out because most people have not heard of this and would not even think to have it checked out. Take care and I will say a prayer of health for you!
@christelllejoy do you mean for water marbling? I'd say luke warm is pretty close to room temp
@emm1861 I'm not sure if they'd be available in normal kind of store, it is kind of more of a specialty nail product that just plain polish. If you have some kind of local beauty supply I would start there, but in the even you can't find these kind of products, you can do the same technique with just a little piece of tea bag & clear polish =)
wow your nails look so healthy! how are they soo thick? even without nailpolish strenngthener! thats amazing how do you do it and how do you keep them from breaking all the time?
Thanks for this great tutorial Colette, I don't know if I am going to do this yet on my mini-tear on my index finger or not, but I am thinking about it. I used to be a nail tech and did it using nail glue but I think the gel is better all around. I just don't know if I want to do this or not, do you feel it is damaging to the natural nail or weakens them? I LOVED all the pics on your blog on this subject, so I am tempted to give it a go. Thanks again!
I don't have a UV light - this kind I let dry naturally, the kind I use now comes with a curing spray =)
@amonka4xx it holds the nail together if you have a tear or break so it can grow out =)
@ThePamster I really don't think it harms the natural nail - just be sure when you remove it, soak it off with remover & don't try to just peel or pick it off - if you do that I can see it being damaging or taking off parts of your nail with it =) At this point I have been using patches for about 2 years when I get tears, and have not noticed any ill effects.
I get mine from sallys but I don't know what stores you have there
@kbbles I think that sounds logical - but I've never used just a tea bag. the silk wraps have adhesive on one side =)
@mrs79jones I will for sure have my Dr take a look next time I am there - I have never heard of melanonychia before, but I have been keeping an eye on the streak - kind of like any weird moles or freckles that pop up - but I actually have several on my toenails also. Thanks for giving me a heads up & for your concern =)
@SimpleLittlePleasues Well I did it and it wasn't too bad, I am wearing Flying Dragon over it to hide the imperfections since I used the patch over the entire nail, I was worried it would tear on the other side, but it seems like it's going to hold up good. I really appreciate you making this video, it helped me a lot Colette! Thanks again!
Thanks for this tutorial! I have a break on the same thumb :(( I saw these silk wraps at Sally's yesterday, but wasn't too sure about them. So glad I saw this video!! TFS!
@fabianahellokitty spiacente, io parlo solo inglese =) acquistare è possibile chiedere tutte le domande e io uso un traduttore per provare e aiutarvi.
wow I never knew about the silk patches. My nails tears all the time. I can't wait to get some
@LNETSA you do have to remove it eventually - even if you reinforce it with more resin as it wears away, I usually change mine every few weeks. Occassional I will even get a tear despite having the silk. You may be able to wear them longer if you don't change your polish very often. Also, they will last longer if you use non-acetone remover for you polish, but I don't like that kind =)
it's ok. I have to keep searching.
Thanks for all your great tips!
I Love How Your Nails Look So Health, Smooth and Strong! :)
Sallys also has glue dryer that dries the glue instantly so you don't have to wait it comes in a aerosol spray can its white& pink. I use it love it the only thing is you have to wipe the nail with alcohol after you spray it before you apply more glue or it will harden your glue brush besides that it works great. Just a little fyi for you. I love your passion for nails keep up the great work.
@MeYouI1 Slightly thicker, but not a lot - the more practice I get, the more even I can apply the gel, the thinner the final result =)
I didn' t even know this existed! Thank you so much for this tutorial!
that works great i still have mine n use the fiberglass for under the nail when i broke mine and it comes out completely, over use the silk to get more strength. Plus the activator smells sweet not like others :)
yup i do nail reconstructions with silk even this can fill spaces so ur nails look great :)
it stays on pretty much until you take it off, although you may get lifting at the edge - normal polish remover usually isn't enough to take it off
@fabianahellokitty per marmorizzazione acqua, io uso sempre la temperatura dell'acqua filtrata in camera da una brocca Brita =)
@truefacts101 I do love to cook, but the staining is mostly from wearing dark colors, even with a base coat they leave thier mark over time =)
i have always enjoyed your videos. this one has helped me out tremendously. thank you
@kbbles it won't hold up as well to polish remover but I think so =)
usually if I get lifting it's due to either not getting the nail completely clean, or from exposure to a lot of water/hand washing. Sometimes I will glue the break independently but I don't usually put down a whole layer =)
yes, you can paint your nails as normal - and I've done a vid on that, check out my nail maintenance vid
@ThePamster the biotin definitly helps. Sometime I will do something clutzy & expect to have broken nail & everything is fine. I still manage to get tears on sort of a regular basis, but not as bad as before, or sometimes only a tear where before I would have had a full break. I love it for peeling also, my nails don't peel at all any more =)
I started to do silk wraps and also used brush on glue. I bought the resin, but ended up returning it. I didn't like it very much, but probably because I tried it with fake tips. I might attempt this with my natural nails to keep them strong while they grow out.
Tfs. Loved this. Need those silk patches and gel glue to keep on hand.
Jayme Wukmir I went to Sally's this week and bought a few.
@DarkDreamer92 as long as it lasts & needs replacing or until the crack grows out =)
@MissPersia8 I don't think it would be a problem, & would probably hold longer =)
I was wondering how you got your nails soo long they are gorgeous!!!!!!!!
I used a tea bag and nail glue to do a patch once. Worked wonders. This looks neat.
@MissHoneybear203 It holds together a break or tear in the nail so that it can grow out =)
And why have i never heard of these before? lol they are genius!
@xthexcolorxredx no - you don't want to buff a lot, just enough to smooth it down =)
@ANobleBeauty I wouldn't recommend more than one layer of silk - although it does make your nail thicker, it can also make it too brittle =)
yes, it can be used for that as well =)
I like this video, I watched yoyr ither video on trimming your nails because of curling, etc. Does everyone eventually get curling or it just depends in the person?? Thank you very much for habing this page, it helps me alot♥♥
Omg love your nails and marble videos, I took my acrylic off about three weeks ago cause I want my natural nails to grow but all they do is break as soon as I get some tip it breaks any suggestion cause I'm thinking about getting the acrylic again :-(
@newloveforme it's when a nail seems to grow a bit to the side, or if one of the side grows more down than the other - I usually try to minimize it with creative filing but you can see that mine are not perfectly straight in some pics =)
why do we need patches under the nile polish ? is it fine if I try water marble without putting sticking patches ?
thank you for all your videos are marvelous.
@debmo79 no, the gel will last through several manicures - I think the longest I've gone is about a month but usually every week or 2 I change them & I do my nails several time a week =)
@brokenoverdose normal remover will work, pure acetone will work faster =)
Hey Colette :) this was an awesome video helped me a lot!!
just two questions..
1.my silk wrap keeps on lifting off from a particular corner of my nail!! any cure for that??
2.is it ok if I put glue before applying silk patch ?? my silk patches are self adhesive still i was wondering if i apply glue bore applying patch then it might help with stopping the lifting what do you suggest??
the patches hold breaks together so they don't get worse
yes, it needs to be one with acetone
Thank you! This helped!
How long does the silk wrap stay on? And I like to change my nail polish once a week.. If I use regular nail polish remover will it remove the wrap?? BTW love your videos! Your so incredible and I'm happy you did a tutorial on this because my nails always chip, break, and are uneven! Hope this is easy! Cause ill be doing it all the time!
@sunnishine554 it hold a tear together so that it doesn't continue to break =)
My nails aren't very strong and break easy due to a thyroid problem. I recently removed my acrylic nails and used your tips to keep my natural length. Question is can you use silk wrap over entire nail to help with strength so they can grow out or a thin layer of acrylic? Thanks!
yes
I haven't used that one but I know there are many kinds of similar products =) I think they all work on the same basic principle
sorry but I don't know what alternatives might be available that ship internationally =)
Thanks! I will probably do this cause I work retail and I'm always breaking my nails!
I read the blog you wrote where you mentioned having 7 silk patches on and you had pictures of broken and repaired nails. You mentioned "curves" in your nails and would like to know what "curves" are. Thank you.
the biotin supplement I take really helped with my peeling
Graat tutorial. I love your vids. The best wishes!
I've been using an Orly product with a powder dip process. Hard to get a smooth finish. Maybe I'll try this.
