#1. How To Fix A Broken Nail With Superglue?
Fix a split nail with the help of superglue. Attach the mending material to your broken nail. Ensure to use just a dot of superglue.

#4. Resin Reattach
This trick works in the case where the nail is entirely broken, not just cracked. So, all you need is a resin band-aid that is insoluble in water and is also super sticky. Just stick together both the nails, apply the resin band-aid on it, trim and buff the excess along with securing it all with a top coat of your favorite color nail paint. Reattach the broken nail effortlessly.

#5. Need An Instant Nail Fix? Fake It Out!
You don’t necessarily have to fix the nail with a glue or a band-aid. There is another simple trick. In the case where you don’t want to take the risk of applying super glue or getting any sticky band-aid, simply save for yourself a pack of fake nails. If any of the nails are chipped or broken, neatly trim the entire thing. Take a fake nail and carefully apply it on top of the broken one. Cut it down to whatever length the other nails are at, and you are good to go.
