How to use for repair
In addition to working with tips, glue is used to repair their own or artificial nails. Also, using the tool, rhinestones, lace, foil and other accessories are attached. And yet the main purpose of this polymer is urgent repairs. It is not always possible to protect fragile nails from the appearance of cracks. The affected nail often breaks off close to the edge and near the soft tissue. The sharp edge can damage them and cause bleeding. Therefore, for a broken marigold and a manicure around, glue will become an indispensable means of restoration. The glue will harden, while maintaining the appearance of the manicure until the original length is restored. If the extension is done with acrylic, there will be no problems. For gel extensions, such a tool will not work.
