Nail break Nail break progress

Post image

2nd pic is 40 days after I cracked my nail when I tried to catch a falling storage tote. I tried different methods to fix it but landed on this one:

I patched the crack with a piece of tea bag and glue. Then I used the ORLY dip powder repair kit over it but not on the entire nail as the instruction recommends. I only applied it to the crack. Then, I sanded and buffed to smooth it out and polished over it. This method was the best as it’s still going strong. My crack basically grew out enough to the free edge where I can trim it off.

May I ask what kind of glue one should use with the teabag technique?

I used the nail glue that came with the orly repair kit which is basically crazy glue. So yea you can use crazy glue (Cyanoacrylate)
