broken fingernail.........

[curlylfim]

whilst oiling me bike chain i managed to get me pointer finger trapped in between me chain and sprocket, after much throbbing, blood and pain, i have cut the finger and snapped the nail across middle, which i now seem to keep catching, although the top half is firmly attatched, how apart from plasters can i stop it catching, i thought of nail varnish but can only find the missus's bright pink or scarlet red...............
any ideas

Whilst you would I'm sure look very fetching in a hot pink varnish number don't do it - it will hurt like h*ll. Think your best bet is the plaster til the nail grows a bit then cut it off. You could try that plaster in a can but again - depth of pain intense. I sprayed my husbands toe when he cut it open on a swimming pool once - did make us laugh but still don't think he's forgiven me!!

Or is this one of your jokes and you really want to know which colour nail varnish you should wear tonight - in which case - the pink of course.

:o)

Hey sausage finger....stop moaning...you sound like a girl!!!!

curlyfilm, serious point re bike chains. Give it a good degrease and move to wax lubricants. White Lightning and Finish Line are good. Oil gathers dirt, wax repels it. My bike chain is still gleaming after 2 weeks of riding through mud.

Hi
You could try a thin coating of brush on nail glue. This will seal and cover the split on a temp basis. You need to make sure it is the brush on type - Elegant Touch is one brand -avail from all chemist and some supermarkets
I have used this many time, especially when the splt s high up the nail bed. It shouldnt sting either.

it happened whilst appling white lightening, i like to put it on with a rag

yes i am a girl when it come to pain

i do like the pink but woulve to all the other nails though, must be matching of course

[curlylfim]

cheers jamel, good idea

reminds me of a few years ago, i needed some nail varnish remover to remove some sticky stuff at work, so asked the charming ladies behind the beauty counter for some, and she showed me half a dozen different types, i of course choose the cheapest
what sort of man did she think iwas..............

[curlylfim]

i always wear flip flops in the summer, and did have me toenails painted black once,

but i was living london so you can get away with anything

Nail varnish remover!!! another name for expensive thinners!! go to the nearest autofactor and buy a gallon of thinners for �10.00 will last a lifetime, and keep filling up the wife's nail varnish remover with it as well, she will never know the difference!!
