Thank you for letting me know. I have not tried the combo yet :)<br /><br />@Nail Glue, thank you!<br /><br />@Kate, Hopefully you won't have to use it for a while, but it will be there when you do :)<br /><br />@Lisa T, yes it is the same problem I usually use them for. The tea bag helps reinforce which is something the glue can't do on it's own. Good luck! :)<br /><br />@Andrea, Thank you! The tea bag should remain in place between manicures. If you use acetone remover, it will last ~3 changes. If you use a non-acetone remover it can last through ~5-6 manicures. You can apply a new patch when it wears off until the nail grows out to a desired length and you file it down. Good luck! :)Anutkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14656243897505897699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686528236924688493.post-27072739431715237432012-09-24T20:13:59.487-07:002012-09-24T20:13:59.487-07:00What a great tutorial! I've had a tear on my ...What a great tutorial! I've had a tear on my right index finger since May that just won't cooperate, just when it's growing out it tears again! I did the teabag over that nail and I also did it on a nail I couldn't help but peel when my nailpolish started chipping.. bad, bad habit! So I put it over the weakened part of my nail to reinforce it so it hopefully won't break! Quick question--do you just leave the teabag on between manicures until the tear grows out and you've basically cut or filed that portion of the nail off? Thanks again for such a great tutorial!!Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03230249396929760845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686528236924688493.post-25387281134702261462012-09-22T10:05:34.761-07:002012-09-22T10:05:34.761-07:00Thanks for the tip!

I have tried repairing them with glue, but as they grow out and come closer to the end of my nail bed, they always rip all the way off.

The only thing I can say, that I found out after my first repair (and tutorial), is that it's actually better to tear the bag rather than cutting it. It makes the edges blend in much better, or so I find anyway. Nice little tutorial :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4686528236924688493.post-46379904674473882332012-09-19T06:55:37.435-07:002012-09-19T06:55:37.435-07:00So grateful for this!
