What do I do if my nail has a crack?

How do i repair my nail that has started to crack?

  • my thumb nail has started to crack alittle below the nail line and i don't want it to break off because my brother is getting married saturday and i want to keep my long nails until after the wedding. *i plan on cutting them sunday because of this problem* is there anything that will help it not breaking off because it will hurt if it does.

  • Answer:

    If you are planning to paint them for the wedding, then this tip will do the trick: buy some nail glue or super glue and be careful so that you only use a little at a time.... take a small piece of tissue, like kleenex that does not have lotion in it - or you can use a bit of bathroom tissue as well. Place a small dot of glue on the crack in your nail and then lay the small piece of tissue over it. Place another drop of glue over the tissue so that there aren't any dry patches. Get out your hair dryer and put it on 'low' to dry the glue. It will be rough, so you need to use another drop or two of glue to make sure that all is covered. Once this is done and the glue is dry, use a fine-sided nail file to gently smooth the rough spots out. Once this is done, use a basecoat and paint your nails as normal and then a topcoat. This will hold you over 'til after the wedding. I'm a cosmetologist and have used this 'procedure' on my own nails on more than one occasion. Hope it works for you. "M"

get a silk overlay at any beauty supply store and paint over it with a fiberglass base polish. that should take care of it.

get a little superglue in there then paint over it with regular or clear nailpolish and be careful not to hit it on anything that would cause the superglue to come undone

First fine cut the nail up to the finger end then stat eating dates atleast per day two. That will sure improvise your nail finishing

First, put a bandaid on it tonight to keep it together then go to a nail salon and get an overlay. They'll put a layer of acrylic over your nail to keep it together and strengthen it. It won't cost much I think for 1 nail it's like $3-$4. Most places are walk-in so do it as soon as you can tomorrow. :)

sally hansen has this great protective undercoat nailpolish, its a white color. i think before you get your nails done by you or whomever you should use this until sunday, i think it'll keep it safe. It's Called Super Strong, Micro-Fiber Base Coat, you can get it at a drugstore i got mine from Ralph's (a grocery store)
