In this video I will demonstrate how you can fix a cracked or chipped OR broken nail right from home. I am fixing my chipped gel. So here I will be using UV gel which requires a UV lamp. Be advised that you will follow the same steps if you are using acrylic with a few minor differences and without the need to use a UV Dryer lamp.
