Prepping for that year-end vacation? Keep these nail quick-fixes at your fingertips for nail emergencies!
We know some of you may opt for bare nails when going on holiday but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be prepared for those nail emergencies.
Picture this: lush blue waves, soft warm sand, cool salty breeze, and gah, a broken nail!
Here are some quick nail fixes for the jet-setting girl. .
Repair a Torn Nail
Nails can be weak or soft, especially when you’re on a beach vacation. Soaking in water for long periods can soften your nails, causing them to tear. The fastest way to fix a torn nail is by using a tea bag.
Most hotels provide tea bags in their hotel rooms. Cut out a piece of the tea bag big enough to cover your tear, then apply a layer of nail glue or top coat to secure the nail. Allow the coat to dry before filing your nail with a nail file. You can finish with a coat of nail polish or leave it bare
Fix a Chipped or Broken Nail
The fastest and easiest way to fix a chipped or broken nail is by filing it down. If your hotel doesn’t provide a nail file in the bathroom, call up housekeeping and ask for one. You’ll find that some hotels don’t put a wide range of grooming tools in every room, but provide them for free when asked. Anyhow, it’s always best to bring along a disposable nail file when you travel.
PS: Make sure you file all your nails to a uniform length or they’ll look tacky!
Repair Chipped Polish
If you’ve decided to get a manicure before travelling, then it’s best to be prepared for the possibility of y chipping. There’s a higher chance of this happening while on vacation as you’d be carrying and moving heavy bags or doing more strenuous activity.
Keep a bottle of polish on hand when you travel, either a top coat or your nail colour. Apply a new coat every 3 – 4 days to avoid excessive chipping. If you don’t have a top coat or if you did your nails at the salon, keep a clear glitter polish with you. These are cheap and easy to find; they also act as a top coat while giving you the added bonus of an accent nail!
