My nail bent back

Cut it as short as possible as it will be weakened so cutting it short will help not catching it again. If you have a clear top coat you can put that on but really just let it grow out. It should be fine and heal itself 👍

You can try giving it a coat or two of clear nail polish just to hold it together as it has weakened and stopping it catching again until it grows out.
Big hug as I am sure it was painful.

Ooh sore. I wish I could say something comforting or what would fix it. Maybe cut all your nails short so it doesn't happen to any of the others?

Oh!" Is that it? blush
I've honestly never had to deal with this before.
Doesn't it hurt!
Thank you.

I think it will grow out

Just wait for it to grow out!

And I'm not sure what to do with it.
I've always bitten my nails until around seven or so years ago, when i stopped, and they've grown ridiculously long and strong since.

Yesterday, I scratched my back, and my thumbnail folded right back on itself and I had to flip it into place.

Now I'm not sure what to do with it, as it has a tiny split, way down, and blood beneath the nail.

It's too far down the nail for me to cut where the split is, so I've just put a plaster round my finger.

Any suggestions, please?
