CND Brisa Lite Repairs

Remember that terribly broken nail from this post?

I figured you didn't so here it is again.



Pour out a little acetone for fallen homies.

 Welp... Since I showed you sadness personified I figured it's only right to show you that happiness lies at that end of a gel brush.

Most of us take care of sad and broken nails with resin and silk but I add a little extra. I don't know if my technique is lacking or what but silk and resin just doesn't not work for me. The nail usually still breaks with twenty four hours or the repair does not make through more than two or three polish changes. Since I tend to change polish every twenty four to forty eight hours silk and resin just isn't a viable option.

I recently began using Creative Nail Design Brisa Lite Sculpting Gel for repairs. It provides strength comparable to an acrylic overlay with none of the lingering fumes*.I still use silk and resin as a foundation. I apply the the Brisa Lite Sculpting gel as an overlay.  The repair usually lasts a full week before I see any lifting around the edges. Take note though... The only reason I experience any lifting is because I use acetone to remove my polish. Brisa Lite is a soak off gel so repeated /prolonged exposure to acetone will break it down.
 

So there you have it. That is how I repair do my nail repairs. Nice, smooth, and more resilient than silk and resin. Eventually I will get around to doing a proper post about CND Brisa Lite Sculpting Gel. It is a pretty awesome product. If I must say so myself.

*I personally do not mind the fumes. Nothing like the smell of liquid monomer and acrylic powder in the morning!
