I tried acrylic nails for the first time about three months ago and had them removed a week or two ago after several fills. I got tired of messing with them and the expense. Anyway, I have one nail that is like rice paper. It has split down beyond the quick a bit over 1/8". Where the nail is split the two halves of the nail are curling under into the fingernail bed. This is tender, but not really painful. It just keeps getting caught on everything. I tried mending it by securing a steri-strip to it with super glue. That lasted about a week then fell off. Beyond wearing a band aid until the darn nail grows out, is there any other fix? Is there a way to mend the nail to secure it until it grows out, without going the acrylic route again? Those shops should post warning signs that acrylics can trash your nails.
