This Emergency Nail Repair Kit lasts quite long and the nails are very
hard after 3 or 4 layers of silk and glue. You can do your dishes, take
a shower, bath, swim, if you put them properly, they’ll hold. With this
product you can not only reinforce your nails, you can also lengthen
the broken nail. This can be a life saver! This complete set contains
everything you need for emergencies. Resin-glue, china-silk, 3-grade
buffer, form-file and spreader…

How to strengthen a weak nail:

1. Use the 3-grade buffer to roughen the upper surface around the free-edge of the nail.

2. Cut a strip of china silk sized to cover the tip of the nail.

3. Remove the protective paper.

4. Press and mould the china-silk into the area you want to strengthen.

5. Apply a small drop of resin-glue to the china-silk. [WARNING:
resin-glue contains cyanoacrylte. It is an eye irritant and bonds skin
in seconds – keep away from children].

6. Smooth it around with the plastic spreader until the silk is saturated. Let it dry and then buff lightly.

7. When the resin has set hard, trim the silk ‘overhang’ from the sides
and edges of the nail using the form-file, or a glass file, in a
downwards direction. Finish by using the buffer gently to obtain a
smooth, polished and natural look.

8. If necessary re-apply the resin-glue to cover the entire silk,
working-in very small amounts at a time. Apply more resin-glue as
necessary until the desired thickness of the nail is achieved.

How to lengthen a nail:

This process is similar to the above (steps 1-7). The main difference
is that the silk strip is sized and placed so that it overhangs the
nail tip thereby increasing its effective length. Now coat with resin
again and apply another layer of silk. Re-apply resin, let dry, buff,
shape and polish. If necessary add more layers. Each layer should be
smooth and shiny and fully cover previous ones.

How to repair a broken nail:

Careful preparation is essential. Cut the silk to the desired size and
continue as in section for to strengthen a weak nail. Now put another
