What can a paper wrap be used to mend?

A paper wrap is specifically designed to mend small tears in the nail. This technique involves using thin layers of paper to reinforce the nail and prevent further tearing or damage. When a nail has a minor tear, applying a paper wrap can effectively bond the torn area together, allowing it to heal and be protected while also maintaining a natural appearance.

The other options are not suitable uses for paper wraps. For instance, while broken nails can be repaired, stronger and more durable methods are typically employed, such as acrylics or fiberglass. Cuticles are not mended with paper wraps; instead, they are usually cared for with moisturizers or specific cuticle treatments. Acrylic overlays serve a different purpose, providing strength and aesthetic enhancement to the nail, rather than mending small tears. Thus, using a paper wrap is most appropriate for small tears in the nail, as it allows for discreet, temporary reinforcement.
