To fix a broken natural nail, use hard gel, which you can buy online. If it’s a fake nail, just cut the nail where it’s broken and let it grow out.

To fix a broken nail, cut the rest of the break off and then file it so it’s smooth. If it’s a break below the free edge where it’s on your nail bed, keep the wound clean and dry to let it heal on its own. Some people will try to glue it back down. However, I don’t suggest doing that if the break is really bad or you see dry blood.

How to shave down there
Hi, I’m trying to start being more intentional about shaving now that I’m dating again and I’d like some advice on getting a cleaner shave down in my personal area. I trim to the best of my ability, but it always feels kind of like there’s probably a better option than what I’m doing? It looks okay I think, but there are always bumps and the hair kind of grows back unevenly, which I think means I’m doing something wrong? Any tips on getting a cleaner or more uniform shave down there? I’m a woman, just FYI.
