A broken nail can happen to anyone. It can be painful and annoying. But you don’t have to go to a salon to fix it. Here are five easy ways you can fix a broken nail at home.
1. Use a Tea Bag
Cut a small piece from a clean tea bag. Put clear nail polish or nail glue on your broken nail. Place the tea bag piece on top of the break. Press it down gently. When it is dry, put another layer of clear polish on it. This will help hold your nail together.
2. Apply Nail Glue
If your nail is cracked, nail glue can fix it fast. Clean your nail well. Put a little nail glue on the crack. Press your nail together and hold it for a few seconds. After it dries, file your nail gently to make it smooth.
3. Use Tape or a Bandage
If you don’t have nail glue or polish, you can use tape or a small bandage. Stick it over the broken part of your nail. This will protect your nail until you can fix it better.
4. Try a Glue Stick
If you are in a hurry, use a glue stick made for paper. Put a little glue on the break. Press your nail together. This will hold your nail until you can fix it properly.
5. Trim and File
If your nail is badly broken, the best way is to cut it shorter. Then file your nail smooth. This will stop your nail from breaking more. You can paint your nails after to make them look nice.
