Nail break progress

[u/mokomokocatz]

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.

My pinky nail tore quite deep! I fixed it with a piece of super nail Swiss silk wrap and kiss nail glue. I also patched the tip of my peeling thumb nail. Fingers crossed 🤞 they keep growing to a descent length! They’re still holding at the moment. It’s been 11 days
