I ended up mostly showing the patching on the fully broken nail - since the low break was already glued, and that glue held, I would have applied more glue to hold it if necssary. Glue helps the nail hold under the patch. I have had nails rebreak even with patches, or the glue fail while the patch holds. Other than that, ther'es not really a huge difference other than the severity of the break. Same steps for the actual patching for both nails ... I keep the brush I use to spread the gel in an old polish bottle full of acetone to clean it. There are a few downsides to patches, reasons I don't wear them on all my nails all the time: -Normal polish remover, or even exposure to too much water - can cause lifting around the edges & make them need to be replaced more often -They can make your nails hard almost to the point of being brittle ... sometimes I've had patched nails-re-break because they cannot bend or give at all. Products used for repair: -Glue - ibd Brush-On Nail Glue: http://amzn.to/1iiMZiq (or any kind of nail glue is fine) -Swiss Silk Self-Adhesive tabs: http://amzn.to/1XhHiS1 (or you can even use a piece of tea bag if you don't have this) -ASP - Light-less Gel: http://amzn.to/1iiNbOL -ASP - Gel Cure: http://amzn.to/1hURPCR -Buffer or Nail file: http://amzn.to/1hUSoMR Step-By-Step -Steart with absolutely clean and dry nails -Glue the tear or break if necessary -Apply the wrap over the area of the break & overlapping each side -Apply the gel, being careful to avoid contact with your skin -Smooth the gel as well as you can with a brush, keeping the layer on the thin side, before spraying the gel cure -Gel cure takes about a minute to set -File off the excess wrap once the gel is dry -Apply a second coat of gel (I do wrap the tip on the 2nd layer, just like when painting, as it seems to help prevent lifting at the tip) -Spray with cure -Buff if necessary -Done!
