It can also be of concern when all the others are long and pretty, and you would have to trim them to the size of your broken one. Hence, it would be wise to fix it and it is very easy to do.It can happen at the most inconvenient time. You’re getting dressed for school, an evening out friends or right before a date you break it. You quickly assess the damage and find a small tear that will likely grow larger over time. What do you do? If you have the right supplies in your house, you can do a quick repair that will allow the nail to remain viable until it grows longer and you can trim off the torn area. Here’s how to fix a broken one:Prep It for Repair.- Before you start the repair, use nailpolish remover to completely remove the polish from the torn one. Wash the affected gently in warm soapy water and dry it thoroughly.Repair the Tear.- The most effective way to repair the tear is with the help of a strong, quick bonding glue such as Super Glue. If you’ve ever worked with quick bonding glues containing cyanoacrylate you know how temperamental they can be. They bond almost anything including skin. To repair the torn area without bonding your fingers together, use a toothpick to remove a very small amount of the glue from the container. Still using your toothpick, apply a very thin film of glue along the tear and press the two arts together. Apply pressure with the toothpick for at least a minute to bond the torn area in place. Have polish remover available along with cotton balls in case you should get glue on your skin.Hide the Repair.-Now that the torn one is temporarily repaired, it’s time to do a little cosmetic work. Use the rough side of an emery board to gently smooth the repaired area. Follow up by applying a coat of strengthener followed by your regular polish.If the tear is too large, you may have to resort to making a temporary patch which you can glue over the tear using Super Glue. An excellent patch material is tea bag material. Once the tea bag material is glued to the tear, you can trim any excess material that extends beyond and proceed with your light sanding operation followed by strengthener and nailpolish.A skillfully repaired fingernail can last until it grows out if you treat your hands with kindness. The next time you discover that don’t panic, just get out the Super Glue, a tea bag and some strengthener.Avoid using remover on the broken area as it can soften the glue. They can be annoying and make sure you avoid further tears by fixing them properly.
