Chrontier Silk Nail Wrap Instant Reinforce Repair Bandage Tape Protector Self Adhesive Easy Trimmerable for UV Gel Acrylic Nail Art Extension Fiberglass Professional Manicures Tool

My thumb nail split clean down the middle vertically. Needed something to hold it together while it grew out. So far this stuff is working. The adhesive is poor but I put a lil glue on the nail first, followed by the silk, then a lil more glue. Nails are not my thing. I know little about nail care, but this stuff is doing what I need.

This product is on the right, the left is the Supernail self adhesive tabs. For both thumbs I used peel off base gel on my natural nail, then applied the silk wrap and brushed over it with builder gel. This product did not really respond to the weight of the gel or the residual stickiness of the the base gel, so it was hard to shape it to the curve of my nail bed and set it long enough to cure. There is adhesive on one side but it's not strong enough to keep the silk in place. Aside from the fabric being stiff it also seems slightly thicker, requiring more product to fully coat. If you top with opaque polish and don't mind the extra time it takes, technically this product can do what's its marketed for. But I prefer the completely clear finish of the Supernail wraps so I don't have to top with polish if I don't want to. Plus the Supernail wraps are just easier to apply and set long enough to cure. I would say it's worth the extra couple bucks to just get the Supernail wraps.

Works good

Due to the product being woven, it makes it difficult to withstand everyday things like washing your hands or taking a shower. What I noticed with it is that it loosens on the edges where you cut. So, it doesn’t last long. It’s a nice product to hold down a broken nail for a couple days if you put a heavy coat of nail polish, but it really doesn’t last long and you could probably find something better to secure your broken nail.

Easy to use

This is great for when you side split a nail, but not made for a nail that has been completely torn off. This one is really good because it has an adhesive backing. Some of them don’t, but this one did and I’m glad I ordered it! I lined up my split now as best I could, then you take a piece of the product that you have cut to a proper shape peel off the backing and place it on the nail, put the glue on the nail and then file it smoothly. That’s how I did it. I also used a buffer too.

Comes up so easily, regardless of glue or even clear coat and polish top. Can never get the edges to keep from peeling

Works well. Definitely makes your nail stronger and can patch it up with color on top of it. Is definitely a 2 person job tho. Don’t try to do it on your own.
