My boyfriends nails do the same thing..i just put like 10 layers of clear ';hard-as-nails'; on the nail that breaks.My Mom's nails spilt down the middle?
All you need to fix a split nail is a tea bag and some fingernail polish. The materials to fix a split nail this way are cheap and you probably have them sitting around in your home.
First take the tea bag and cut it open. After you cut open the tea bag spill out the tea and throw it away or make yourself a cup of tea with the loose tea. You don't need the tea to fix your split nail you need the tea bag material.
Take you tea bag and cut it so that it fits your nail. It is best if you can get it to go over the entire nail so that it is stronger then if you just use a tiny piece to cover up the split.
After you have the tea bag cut to fit your nail place it on the nail and cover the piece of tea bag with some nail polish. You can use any color nail polish you wish as long as it covers the tea bag and is able to soak into the tea bag. If you aren't using nail polish on the other nails then clear is the best choice.
Once the nail polish has been applied to the tea bag let it dry thoroughly before you use the finger or toe. Make sure the polish is very dry before you put on a sock or a shoe on a split toe nail. The drier the nail polish is before you use it the better.
As the nail grow out you can clip it off and eventually the split will be grown out and the nail will be good as new.
Ow that sounds like it burns...I probably wouldn't do that, put band aids on as best she can.
