This is just a little tip you might be able to use. I recently "half" broke a fingernail...you know how that happens. You lift up on something and break the nail so it really hurts and then snags. Well I have discovered if you get out the brush on super glue and put a small dab on the break...then sprinkle on a tiny dusting of baking soda, the super glue hardens immediately and makes a hard bond! You can then buff it smooth and it will hold the nail together for maybe TWO weeks. Right through dishes and showers etc. Keeps the nail from snagging fabrics. Works great! Reapply if necessary.
