How to Fix a Broken Nail

Do you ever break your nail down below where it meets the skin. You know, like this

And they get caught on absolutely everything and hurt like a mother? Well I get them all the time and I used to just tear the nail off (it's too low to just clip it) and then it bleeds and you cry and it's just an all around bad day? Ok, maybe that's just me, but luckily I have a solution. All you need is:

Paper (preferably something thin like tissue paper or newspaper, but regular paper will work too)

Super Glue

A Nail Buffer

and Nail Polish

The first step is to put a layer of super glue on your nail over the break. You then cover the super glue with a small bit of paper. Make sure that you put some pressure on the nail so that your nail is even.

Repeat this step a second time (or do as many times as you feel neccessary to stabalize the break)

Now take your buffer and buff the nail so that the paper blends in to the nail. Go ahead and buff the rest of your nails too, because, hey, why not?

Once it is all smoothed out, put on a couple of coats of nail polish. Make sure it is a solid color so that it hides the paper...

And there you go. Good as new and super strong, allowing you to grow your nail out long enough to cut it where the break is. Awesomeness right? Just thought that maybe someone else has had the same problem as me :D
