Nail glue

Is there a glue that can be used on natural nails? I remember perhaps in the 80's that I used one, but from memory it wasnt very good. Is there one available now?

    Do you mean to repair a tear in the nail?

    Any nail glue (over-layed with a bit of tissue) will do the trick :)

    Sorry to say that never worked for me so I either trim all my nails down and start regrowing them again or wear a false nail. I suppose you could try one of the nail salons and see if they can do a 'Tip' or have any special super duper bonding agent

    I should have made it clear I was talking about a tear below the free edge. Repairing it will allow the tear to grow out, rather than have it catch on everthing :)

    The only thing they'll have that's stronger than glue is L&P or gel, but it's a bit pointless overlaying just one nail, tbh.
