nail patch?
I always get cracks on my thumb nails. LIke on the outside about a forth of the way from the tip of my nail, there are horizontal cracks that go through my entire nail. This is constantly happening and if they break, they are really short and really hurt. So I was wondering if there's any way to patch these up so it can grow out without breaking. I've tried putting cheap drugstore fake nails over them to protect them, but I have really long nail beds so drugstore fake nails are too short. I've also tried super glue and a tiny bit of toilet paper as a makeshift patch but this is unsightly and doesn't hold very well. I'm looking for an actual product that was meant for this purpose. I tried searching "nail patches" on google but just found nail art patches which is not really what I'm looking for. Thanks

What you need to do is to have plenty of protein. I know this isn't going to help your nails straight away, but of your nails are brittle, it could be because of a lack of protein in your diet.
A trip to the doctors will confirm this. But protein is found in beef, chicken, pork, lamb, turkey, eggs, fish, tofu, imitation meat, beans, yogurt, etc.
Hair and nails are made of protein, and so making sure you have plenty of the stuff in your diet will help.
You can also buy hair and nail strengthening supplements in your local health food store.

Sorry, but there is no way to really patch up your nail. If there was I'd try it by now :p Just try getting a manicure or paint them yourself to stop thinking about it, I constantly have nail polish on so I do not bite them. But the thing with having polish on 24/7 is make sure youve got a good base coat. Back to your situation, just try buying a nail strenthener so your nails do not become britle and chip alot. Mine ALWAYS chip where the tip is :/ Anyways, hope this helps!
