Broken Fingernails....

soul_art — Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:08:06 GMT

Do people really whinge about breaking a nail??? hahaaa!

I always thought it was one of those things said in a joking way.....not something that a person would really complain about??

Does anyone else know someone who does this...or do you ?

Yes, I do. When they break down to the bleeding point I sure do have a whinge because it usually is accompanied by pain.

Well yes freaki, I would think we would all go "ouch" then but I mean, a run of the mill broken nail.

This person also complains when her hair is blown by the wind lol

I think it's funny....I guess it depends on what's happenning in your life as to how important things are. She knows I laugh about these things btw

I had a major melt down on here a couple of months ago about broken nails.
I had been nursing my nails for about 6 weeks for a special occasion and then I broke some the week before.
I was devastated. LOL

I dont usually, but did tonight when I bent one of my long nails back.........just the thought of it sends shivers down my back, I whinged to my husband and he told me I was clumsy.........

Usually I dont.

If it's only a minor break I don't worry about it. They grow back fast enough. Mine usually only break if they get too long.

Did it break purple ahize or just sort of crease? I know it can sometimes hurt but I mean a normal "caught on something" rip/snap no pain involved. My friend gets upset about the look not because it hurt.

I told her to go to the nail tech if it bothered her so much, or cut the others to match.....I got the "Are you CRAZY" look.

I'm a shocker with nails too nicnacs.....They get in the way so I rip them off, though I'd try to have them looking nice for a special occasion. I'd rather spend time using my hands than looking at them though!

I've got a bandaid on one at the moment. It partly broke today and I had nothing to try cutting the rest off with.

I'm thinking I might keep the bandaid until it grows far enough to cut without leaving catchy bit.

Do nail salons repair nails?

I remember the typing pool in the 60's, Kim broke her fingernail. The whole "pool" stopped to commiserate. I couldn't believe it! As a typist then, you were taught that the nails shouldn't be heard when tapped on the desk top.

These were her natural nails. Pre-acrylic days. Half moon days.

DEB.

If you keep the broken bit of nail you can use nail glue or I think a salon would do it .

Think a bandaid would be better! A barbie bandaid even !!

Off to watch MKR.....wonder if tonights contestants will break any nails?

Hahaha. Yep, I'm hoping the trusty bandaids will last until it gets to the above blood line. It's not half way across yet. Just enough to annoy, big time.

I use to cut a small piece off a tea bag, empty tea out of dry bag, hold the broken nail put the tea bag over where the nail ripped and fold in the edges hold it then put super glue all over it.

Let it dry then put nail polish on.

It use to hold the broken bit onto the nail until the nail grew out, then you could cut rest of nail off........it worked everytime, and I saved many of my nails by doing that.

Would do it now, but havent got any super glue.
