Your nails are long and beautiful, but suddenly a broken nail spoils the look. Don’t panic—you can easily avoid cutting it off and conceal this little mishap. Here are some tips to quickly fix your broken nail and maintain healthy nails.
Broken Nail: What Should I Do?
A broken nail might be splitting or completely torn. In the case of a cracked nail that’s in the process of breaking, you have the option to either cut your nail down to the base and adjust the others for a matching look or hide the broken nail. To repair it, you can create a DIY bandage or use a nail glue designed for broken nails.

DIY Bandage for a Broken Nail
Simply take some paper towel or adhesive tape and cut it to the correct size according to your broken nail. Then apply a nail hardener to the nail and adjust the paper towel piece to the cracked area. Press it gently to ensure it sticks well. Apply another layer of nail hardener and let it dry. Repeat the process, and after 20 minutes of drying, file the paper. Apply a final layer of hardener. Once dry, you can paint your nails with colour, finishing with a top coat. Your nail is now repaired, and there’s no need to cut it!
Nail Glue for a Broken Nail
Here’s another solution that involves gluing your broken nail to prevent it from tearing further. Start by washing your hands with warm soapy water. Once your nail is softened, gently apply a drop of nail glue to the split area and spread it evenly. Let it dry, then apply a layer of hardening polish to strengthen the rest of the nail.
How to Get Strong Nails?
Repairing a broken nail is a temporary fix. It’s better to treat brittle nails to ensure strong and healthy nails. A balanced diet helps in maintaining healthy nails. Also, don’t forget to use nourishing and repairing treatments for weak nails.
