Be careful to not get cotton particles caught in the split of your nail. If you are worried about catching your nail on the cotton ball, remove the nail polish moving in the direction of the split.
Be sure that the sides of the cut teabag reach to the sides of your nail. Once the teabag is applied onto your nail, you can leave the end of the teabag hanging off the free edge of your nail; you’ll remove it later.
It is okay to leave a little bit of leftover teabag hanging off your nail, because you can file it away later when it is less fragile.
At this point, the teabag will look see-through.
The nail file will help sand off any paper particles remaining on the edge of your nail.
Swiping along the free edge of your nail helps to prevent and lifting or fraying of the teabag.
