Jenna once again appeases our curiosity by uncovering the truth behind ramen nails, and if it actually works.
Yes, you read that correctly. Jenna uses ramen as a base to her acrylic nails. She grinds up the noodles to a fine powder and uses multiple base coats to have it stick to the nail as a filler. After filing down the rough edges, she tops off the ramen nail with nail polish from my other favorite Youtuber, Christine from Simply Nailogical.
“Why do this Jenna,” you might ask? Fixing things with ramen started going viral after a video was shared of a broken sink being allegedly repaired with packs of ramen noodles. Since then, other hacks using ramen have been spreading around the internet. And apparently someone wanted to prove you can use ramen noodles to make acrylic nails strong.
Unfortunately, the ramen works very well. But there’s no telling how long it would hold. Jenna doesn’t want be the test subject to find out.
Be warned if you try this at home. At the very end of the video, Jenna shows how impossible it is to get the ramen off her nails so you might encounter the same problem if you try to replicate this yourself.
