I have a split nail on my left middle finger. It grows normally but once it reaches finger tip it begins to split in the centre and therefor grows with a split in the middle. Can anyone supply me with a solution as to make the nail knit and not split.

I've had trouble like that. What I would do is trim the split part off as far as I could, then keep it coverred with a bandaid so I wouldn't aggrivate it. I have heard of solutions similar to nail polish that can help, but I've never tried them.

This won't happen overnight, as it takes a full six months for a fingernail to grow from cuticle to tip. So much for the instant fix, although if you do have a very bad split or tear, I have found the best solution is to take a teabag, cut a piece of it to shape over the split or tear, use a dab of miracle glue (Bondini Glue is the best to use) and then polish over it. Many times it will last until the split or tear grows out - how about that for an instant cure?

Use a nail hardener product on it for a while so it cannot split so easily.
