Katie Cazorla
Celebrity nail expert Katie Cazorla teaches us insider tricks to fix damaged nails caused by incorrectly removing gel manicures. A gel manicure differs from a traditional manicure and you cure the polish on your nails under an ultraviolet light. Nail tech Mary Ann Jones joins to show how buffing can smooth damaged nails. "Home & Family" producer Dana Leavitt lends her hands to illustrate a before-and-after of damaged versus healthy nails. Plus, Katie introduces a brand-new nail treatment called IBX and reveals how minced garlic mixed with clear nail polish can lead to stronger nails. How to remove gel manicures with Katie's DIY solution that everyone can use: 1. Take a bottle of regular, clear nail polish. 2. Pour a little off the top. 3. Mince a raw clove of garlic. 4. Add the minced garlic to the nail polish. 5. Screw the top back on the nail polish and set in a cool, dark place for at least a week. 6. Paint nails with the clear garlic polish to make them super strong (and don't worry, the solvents in the nail polish will cancel out the garlic smell). Virtual Nails are available at
