Natural nails:
Tea anyone? A good old fashioned tea bag works wonders if you have a cracked natural nail. Cut the tea bag (tea removed of course) a little bigger than the crack. Place it over the torn part and apply a dot of nail glue (try not to go overboard on the nail glue).
Don’t have any nail glue? Try this: put a small amount of clear polish on the crack. With the end of the polish brush, pick up the piece of tea bag and put it on the wet spot. Then paint clear over it. You may need to pat it down with another fingernail. This should save your nail until you can get in to see your manicurist for a proper repair.
Artificial nails:
Always carry nail glue with you if you wear artificial nails. The best kind of glue is one that can be contained if spilled and comes with a pin (or provide your own) to poke the opening because it will clog. If an entire nail comes off, it’s best to glue that one right back on until you can get a proper repair, but make sure you glue it on in the right direction for a good re-glue. If you have a crack in your acrylic/fiberglass nail, use the tea bag repair above. If you lose the entire nail, paint that nail with the same color or one close to it.
