Your bedsheet, about one-third, should…

How to: fixing a broken nail (Come fare per riparare un’unghia rotta)
Let’s talk about one thing I really hate: broken nails. When it happens you must file all the other fingernails at the same length and this is so annoying. If you accidentally broke one nail you can easily fix it with a super quick DIY tutorial I’ve found on youtube and I used: the tea bag method! All you need is: – an empty tea bag, – scissors, – a fortifying nail treatment (top coat or a clear nail polish). This video made up by Imogen will show you how to apply tea bag stripes to your broken nails. I had a very deep crack on my index nail and…
