IBD5 Second Nail Filler Powder

Was excited to learn about this nail repair powder product. I ordered it along with the compatible IBD 5 second brush-on nail glue. I have used it for nail repair several times and love how easy it is to use with the IBD 5 second nail glue (I also ordered the 3 pack of glue).The only problem, I ordered 1 package with 3 units of IBD 5 second Nail Filler Powder and only received 1 unit of powder.

I sustained an injury to my finger when a window slammed on the nail bed. It left a purple bruise (subungual hematoma). It only hurt for a few hours and didn't look that bad. When the nail and bruise began to grow out it left a quarter inch gap across the nail. Although there was nail there it was cracked, very thin and was very sensitive to touch. I decided to try this stuff when I got tired of wearing band-aides to protect it.It works, big time. I also bought the 5 second nail glue which doesn't come with the powder. I painted a layer of the glue, dusted on the powder, sanded a bit, repeated a couple of times until the gap was filled.No pain, perfect repair. Since I'm a guy I don't care if it doesn't look perfect. Even though I was sloppy putting it on it looks great. Feels a big gritty so I will buff it down a bit.Bottom line: If you are someone who works with their hands and damages a nail, this stuff is a miracle fix, especially if you do serious damage.UPDATE:I tried this stuff at least a few months after the injury. Up to that point I used a ton of band-aides to cover it. If anything touched the thin nail bed or stressed the end of the nail it hurt like hell.I didn't take any pics before the repair. I highlighted the pic to show cracks to the quick and the area where the nail bed was exposed or the nail was very thin.This stuff is amazing. I am super glad I found it.

THIS IS IT!!! This, paired with the 5-Second Gel Resin, protected the vertical split in my nail until it could grow out and be clipped off. 100% recommend. The two together create an incredibly hard, durable, protective coating on your nail, so that it can grow out without the split being exacerbated by the wear and tear of daily life. I was terrified I was never going to be able to stop the splitting. THIS DID. Depending on low long your split is you may need to use the combination of the two a few times over the course of a few weeks. It took about 4 weeks for mine to grow out. My nail is as good as new now. So incredibly relieved!!!

I've used this for years when needed, at least 30, and used to be able to buy it at a national beauty supply chain but can't find it any more. Glad to find it here, but photo clearly shows THREE bottles yet you only receive one. Under normal circumstances I prefer brush-on nail glue since it's easier to control, but have to use the glue in a tube with this. I quickly learned to apply several very thin coats because one thick coat will crack - and the glue is more likely to flood the cuticle if you apply a lot. Also, don't buff smooth between coats so the layers have something to grip. In my experience this works better than a fiberglass repair, but not as well as acrylic.

I've been using this for years. I can mend a nail or add a tip and keep it as thick/thin as I like. Easy to buff smooth and lasts from 2-4 weeks.

I'VE BOUGHT THIS MANY OTHER TIMES BUT THIS TIME I ONLY RECIEVED 1 BOTTLE OF THE FILLER. IT'S ADVERTISED WITH 3 BOTTLES WHICH IN THE PAST I ALWAYS GOT 3 BOTTLES THIS TIME ONLY ONE. BUYERS BEWARE! RIP OFF.

I use with brush on nail glue to repair or strengthen nails. Long lasting even when not wearing gloves when washing dishes. Definitely recommended.

Know that this does not come in a pack of three. It comes as one single vial.
