A lot of ladies have got their synthetic nails broken at least once.  If you are lucky, only the fake piece broke.  However, there are times that the real nail also got BROKEN while they were still attached. What can you do?

This person slammed the door into her nails.  The real nail cracked open along with the acrylic.  We first removed the color to decide what to do.  During the removing process, the top of The Nail was stabilized since the slightest movement could cause excruciating pain. We also talked to the client in a comforting way.  This was a case of horizontal crack.  The two sides were called the supporting points.  We sanded out triangle shapes here  to work the gel powder in. When the two sites were fixed, the entire nail was fixed down.

When the gel powder was applied, the nail was no longer loose.  The client also felt much better. It was most important to make sure there were plenty of gel on both sides. We checked for smoothness with our fingers to make sure nothing would get caught.Then we sculpt it into the right shape and apply color.

This was the repairing method that we shared for now. Other kind of damage may require different kinds of solution.

做假甲的女仕們，不少都有過斷甲的經歷吧！

有時幸運的是只有假甲斷掉，但有時真假甲連住怎麼辦呢？

這位客人手甲被門夾到中間部份，而且真甲跟住假甲一併斷開，出現一條裂縫。

首先我們要盡量把顏色磨走，才可以清楚看見傷勢決定怎樣處理。在磨的整個過程需要按穩甲的上半，有太大的移動都會令客人疼痛，同時也要安撫一下客人。這條裂縫是由左至右，要從兩邊，我們稱為支力點位置，磨一個小三角可以令水晶粉「食到」入去，鞏固兩邊自然能鞏固到整隻甲。

擺水晶粉後，斷開的部份就不會再動來動去，客人整個心情都放鬆了。最重要的是確保左右兩邊有滿滿的水晶粉包裹，用手去感受甲邊夠平滑嗎？確定不會再勾到任何野。然後磨型，磨面後就可以再上色了。

我們這次就分享了這個補救方法，不過始終每次都有不同的處理手法，讓大家增添其中一個的小知識，到遇上問題時不要太驚慌呀😊

Ingrown toenails are not uncommon.  We have talked about previously that this problem could be inherited or caused by poor habits.

The person in this picture has cut the sides of her nails too deeply into the skin and did not file down the corners. This already has made her toes painful enough.  What made it worse was that she run often which put extra stress on the front of her feet.  This resulted in harden skin which made it hurt even more.

<Pic. 1 before>

First, we removed the tough skin To decrease the stressful feeling.  Then we cut off the sharp corners with a sharp scissors and rounded them down to prevent further ingrowing problem.

<Pic. 2 after>

It was not advisable to believe that this problem can be solved in one shot.  You need to change your habit.

1. Do not cut your nails too short.

2. Do not cut the corners too deep into the skin.

3. Have your pedicure done

Buy a nail technician to lessen re-development of the problem.

相信很多人對於「嵌甲」(又稱掙甲) 都不陌生。嵌甲，英文為 Ingrown Nails，意思指指甲向內生長，而我們之前有些文章提及到除左天生，後天也會有影響的。

想重溫可到此link：

而今次我們遇到的主角，他把腳趾兩邊都剪得非常入，而剪口沒有收圓，導致那個角生入肉內引致疼痛，加上他是經常去跑步，而常使用腳尖的習慣也令他生長了一個硬皮，實在是雪上加霜。

<圖片一 before>

我們首先要磨走那個硬皮的位置，令他的感覺沒有壓迫感，然後用尖咀鉗把插入肉內的角剪掉，再用甲銼磨到圓型，令它再長長也不會插得那麼深。

<圖片二 after>

重點來了，有嵌甲的朋友，不要只覺得做一次就可以，因為後天的習慣始終會令嵌甲持續，所以小編的意見啊~第一不可以剪太短，第二不可以剪太入，第三當然是定期修腳啦！養成一個好的習慣，嵌甲就不會愈來愈嚴重囉。

一看到綠色的指甲油，很多人都會「灑手兼檸頭」，其實選對了適合自己皮膚又懂得配搭，綠色手甲一定能飛甩老土。

今次小編手甲配搭上是用綠色系列，使用一個深灰綠和粉系的灰綠，而我不想整個感覺帶太灰，所以當中配搭一個象牙白，加一些金閃、暈染nail art，時尚又高貴。

另外，跟上圖的手甲所選的顏色是一樣的，運用了不同的nail art有不一樣的感覺，下圖則用了最近韓國時興的「蛋白殼」甲跟幾何圖案，加上matte finishing，青春又文青呢。

看完後有沒有激發你們的小宇宙呢？有些顏色是比較特別，你以為自己不會用到，但有時配搭同色系顏色或者nail art，會有意想不到的發生呢！

Green nails may not be a choice in anyone’s repertoire.  However, the right kind of green shades may give your nails a snazzy twist.

This time, I picked a dark and a pastel grayish green.  To tone down the grayish look, I integrated ivory shade with gold glitter.  I think it is groovy while glamorous the same time!

Furthermore, with the same shades, I made a Korean style egg shell nail with some simple shapes in matte finish.  Now don’t they look sprightly yet cultural?

Hope these ideas are inspiring for you!
