Broken Nail

[Ric.ror]

For the third time in as many days I have broken my finger nail
Not just a little break but down so far that I cannot pull it off. I have trimmed it with the nail clippers as far down as I can but it's still not all the way down

[Mamyalynne]

Ouch!!

[Psybbo]

Snap, two on my right hand.

[Ric.ror]

One on my left (the problem one)
Two on my right
My hands look awful as I have trimmed the others down as far as I can

[shaneystar2]

double ouch ...I paint nail glue on at the first sign of a split or break and then wack about three coats of nail varnish over it .I nearly have a nervous breakdown if I bust a nail :)

[Ric.ror]

Nail glue?
Is that what you get with false nails

[shaneystar2]

You can buy it Superdrug .Little bottle with a brush .It's for false nails or splits and breaks .It'll hold it together until it grows out .

[Prudie]

Yes use nail glue, come to that use it to stick a falsie on :-)

[Ric.ror]

I thought about getting some falsies from the pound shop

[naomi24]

I sometimes break mine like that ... ouch. Until the nail grows enough to cut, nail glue works perfectly.

[corylus]

Superglue works as well.

Eat more cheese

[Ric.ror]

Puzzled - trust me I can't eat more cheese

[boxtops]

Ouch ouch

[askyourgran]

My nails are splitting and breaking at the moment, I never thought of nail glue. I've bought some nail strengthener but it doesn't seem to be working yet.

[Ric.ror]

Thing is my nails are really strong
I just keep banging or bending them back so the break really far down
Never just a bit off here and there

[Jeza]

As this is in chatter bank, are nails that important in the great scheme of things?

[giveup]

Eat a cube of Jelly a day.

[Ric.ror]

They are to me Jeza

[Ric.ror]

I've only gone and done it again
This time on my thumb right hand
I've never broken one this far down before - so far I've trimmed it but I really need something on as it's so close to the root
Think I might try some superglue I got for the christmas decorations
