Acrylic nails are a popular and trendy choice for those who love well-groomed, long-lasting nails. However, broken or damaged acrylic nails can be frustrating. Don’t worry! With these 13 steps, you can easily fix your acrylic nails at home.

1. Gather the necessary tools and supplies: Nail file, buffer, nail glue, acrylic powder, acrylic liquid, a small brush, and a nail clipper.
2. Begin by trimming any loose or damaged parts of the acrylic nail using nail clippers.
3. Gently file down the surface of the damaged area to remove any rough edges or uneven surfaces.
4. Apply a small amount of nail glue to the broken area and press firmly for a few seconds to ensure that the glue bonds with the nail.
5. Allow the glue to dry completely before proceeding. This usually takes about 5-10 minutes.
6. Mix a small amount of acrylic powder with acrylic liquid in a dappen dish according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The consistency should be similar to that of honey.
7. Dip your brush into the mixed acrylic and gently apply it to the damaged area with smooth strokes. Be sure to blend the acrylic seamlessly with your natural nail and the existing acrylic layer.
8. Allow the applied acrylic to dry for about 15 minutes or until it hardens completely.
9. Once dry, use a nail file to shape and even out the repaired area until it matches your other nails.
10. Smooth out any bumps or ridges on your repaired nail with a buffer, moving in one direction only.
11. Apply a thin coat of clear topcoat polish on top of your repaired nail for added protection.
12. Allow the topcoat polish to dry thoroughly before resuming everyday activities.
13. Repeat this process if necessary until you achieve desired results for repairing your broken acrylic nails.

By following these 13 steps, you can easily fix your damaged acrylic nails at home without visiting a salon. With patience and some practice, you’ll be able to maintain your beautiful nails effortlessly.
