I don't want to lose my toenail! Is this possible to mend it back together?
Ok so 13/f and I was pushing back the cuticles on my toe nails and on my left foot, big toe, its chipped. I've had my toe nail fall off before but this hasnt fallen off and I dont want it to. The chip is half way across the nail and reached the middle of the nail (starting at the side of the nail) so if it did fall off it would look pretty ugly because I would only have half a nail. Is it possible to mend the nail back together? What I have done until I can get an accurate response is I've put multiple coats of nail pollish (different colours, looks bad but if it works then its worth it) on my nail and put a very thick coat of nail strengthener and top coat mixed on the bad nail. Would the mending work? Any suggestions what to do? I want to keep my nail and its almost flip flop season and I dont want to have to wear running shoes all the time. I rather have someone who has been in a similar situation give me advice... What works? I dont care how ugly it looks, as long as it works. All answers will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Questioner
From what I can tell, your toenail wont fall off.
You nails grow from the point where it is attatched to the skin.
My best advice is to pop off to a doctor, as first of all this could give opppurtinity for infection to take place.
My advice rregarding flip flops is that if the worst comes to the worst, invest in some cute like pump/ballet/dolly type shoes that wont be overly hot to wear but cover up your toes.
Best of luck
