Oh no! Sorry for starting with this scary photo. Yes, this happened a few weeks ago when I was unbuckling my car seatbelt! It didn’t hurt but unfortunately the crack occured right on top of the nail bed (the pink part of the nail), and when this happens I can’t simply chop off the free edge.
So I repaired the crack using the silk wrap method, which is very similar to the tea bag method, and waited for the crack to grow out of the nail bed.
After a couple of weeks the crack finally moved up to the free edge area, and I was able to cut it. Yaaay! Just having one short nail amongst the long nails wouldn’t be so nice, so I decided to file them all down! Still the middle is the shortest though :p
It feels a little bit strange to have short nails after being so used of the long nails, but I’m enjoying the easiness of nail polish applications and this simple short nail art!
For this design, I used a blue grey nail polish from OPI (sorry! I don’t have the bottle near me at the moment!!), and simply sponged some white and silver glitter on the tips.
I just realised that my skin is so dry! Time to soak them in the cuticle oil!!!
Thank you!!
Even with short nails U still have so adorable designs! I always amaze how cute ur color combinations are!
Nice save! I never heard of the silk wrap method. Would you mind going more into detail on it in a later post? 🙂
Cute<3 Ouch, how did that happen, I mean the crack on your nail?
Ouch that looked sore! I’m glad it’s grown out enough so you could trim it down. Your nails always look fab regardless of length! I love the nail art 🙂
awww.. I hate when my nails crack and i have to cut them down again. But your short nails look just as pretty as your long nails 🙂 I cant wait to see some short nail art! 😀
i love this mani, it’s super elegant 😀
your hands looks so beautiful, even with the shorter nails 😀
aaa! it looks painful!!
My nails are short so they don’t crack often 🙂
Very awesome!

My nail cracked when I pushed a button on the side of a chair which is similar to car seat belt buckle:( I have to be more careful;p
