Nail split in half...can you overlay with L&P?

[mercedes69]

I have a toe nail that is totally split in half downwards....
( second toe )
I thought it would grow out but it seems to be growing in two halves
Anyone know why?

One side of the nail is moveable...the other isn't.

I was wondering if I could do a thin overlay with L&P? Mainly so it wouldn't keep catching on things.

or is it not advisable? if so why?

The reason I am asking is one to help myself....and two if I ever came across this in a client I would know what to do.

Would the same apply to a fingernail?

Thanks x

I have had this with one of my big toe nails,
reason plain and simple i damaged it from been clumsy lol,
i applied L&P in a thin overlay and it felt loads better and just grew out back to normal,
yes the same would apply to a finger (but kept fairly short) its much better than it catching on things, hth :hug:

Thanks for that Lou...

Thank goodness it will grow out again! It seemed like it was growing that way

I was wondering if the wobbly side of the nail would lift the L&P and cause more damage in the long run so I am glad it can be done....it's such a nuisance!

well that was a nice short and sweet thread...!!!!! :lol::lol::lol: ( should have blogged it lol )
