Apply nail glue to the top of your nail to where you want the tissue to adhere.
3. Apply the tissue to the nail
Apply the tissue paper over the glue.

Cover the tissue entirely in nail glue until it turns translucent.

Going to have to try this out. Might be a lazy way to fix a broken nail without going to the salon.
