Nail ripped off

[xkayla_herex]

I really hope someone can help-

I have grown my nails to a nice length and I accidentally caught my nail on my little finger, I think it must of bent back and now half of my nail has ripped , it's torn really low down on one side (the other side is still attached of that makes sense)

I have shellac on that needs to be redone, I am going on holiday next week and want to remove my shellac an re do it.

What would your advice be - do you think it will be ok to remove the old shellac- will soaking the nail just weaken it and make the loose nail come of? It's only if I lift the nail up I can see that has torn so I am thinking if I keep the shellac on/ put new shellac on it will help keep my nail together until It grows out as it is just too short to cut down to the tear- I have cut as low as I can.

I have currently put a plaster on it to hold it together- I am thinking of leaving a plaster on for a few days then removing the shellac and re applying.

This may sound silly but just worried as I don't want to cause any more damage as being in the beauty industry I like to have nice nails, do you think it will grow back normal?

Yes I see no reason why it wouldn't grow back normally.

I would recommend getting an acrylic overlay on that one to ensure it doesn't rip off.

I agree with Blossom, shouldn't be any reason it doesn't grow back ok, although I don't think shellac will be strong enough to hold it, if something like this happens I generally try and repair the nail with silk, especially if the break/tear is close to the nail bed just to give it some time to grow and try minimize any further damage

I would do a silk repair - I do this on my nails whenever I have a break on a nail. If you have a hard gel or acrylic an overlay will strengthen the repair so you don't have to worry about it till it grows out [emoji5]️
