Using a buff, remove the top coat of varnish. Apply primer to the overgrown part of the nail. After that, the base layer is applied to the entire surface and dried in a lamp. Next, we select the shade of shellac (a tone darker than the previous one), cover it with the nail plate and polymerize the result. Now you should apply the top and fix everything well.

If the nail broke, then the surest way is to remove the coating and adjust the nail plate. Then it is already possible to re-coat the surface with shellac of the desired shade. If you have exfoliating nail plates, then they should be strengthened with special means.

Many women constantly use such coverage and feel attractive and confident. If your nail plate begins to flake, you feel uncomfortable, then you should refrain from using shellac. It all depends on the condition of your nail plates. If there are no contraindications, then you can cover your fingers as often as you want.
