Einleitung
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 the glue is dry, use a nail filer to shape the nail and a nail buffer to smooth out the top surface of the nail.

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

The nail should feel smooth and the crack should be sealed.

Thanks for sharing. I've broken my nail just yesterday:(
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.
