How to Fix a Cracked Fingernail

Introduction

The guide will be focusing mostly on how to fix a fingernail with a rip/crack in it. Breaking a nail is common for people who leave their nails long to paint but end up cracking it from daily activities.

This fast fix can help keep the nail from getting caught on clothing and other objects when performing daily activities. All/most people have the supplies at home to do this fix.

Try to avoid soaking the nail in water for too long since it can make the nail softer and reduce the effectiveness of the adhesion on the nail.

Please seek medical attention if the crack is serious and is causing a lot of pain and/or discoloration.

    • After you finish shaping and buffing the nail, wash your hands in lukewarm water.

    • For extra reinforcement, you can paint your nails or add only a topcoat (clear) nail polish. Painting your nails is completely optional.

Conclusion

This fix can help you keep your nail from getting caught on things if the crack is too low to cut off the excess. Try to avoid soaking the nail in water for too long since it can make the nail softer and reduce the effectiveness of the adhesion on the nail. Please seek medical attention if the crack is serious and is causing a lot of pain and/or discoloration.

Thank you for the article. The information might be useful next time I break my nail.

Thanks for the detailed guide! I didn’t know it was that easy to do it alone. Every time my ail breaks, I just ask my friend to fix it somehow. She studies at nail master's college https://www.nwcollege.edu/programs/nail-... and knows how to do it. She has already bought some equipment and materials for a manicure; I’m usually her model. To tell the truce, she must be very talented because the nails done by her are better than those I pay a lot for. However, it’s hard to get to her place (she lives in another town), which is the only disadvantage of our friendship. I like having a friend who is a nail master because it saves me a lot.
