Don't give me a break! Ow!

OP, please don't take pictures while you're driving. We can see the speedometer and tachometer and neither are in a resting state. Do NOT be that person ever again, or your nails may be the least of anyone's worries.
That said, I like that shade of blue. Bummer about the break.

Seriously, this is actually the first post I've ever seen on this sub that makes me want to downvote. OP is risking the lives of herself and strangers, and not even for the sake of actual communication--for a picture of something that will still be there when she stops. Or, you know, before she left, since she said elsewhere she was closing the car door. Fuck that.

Should I pull it? I certainly don't mind if it would make the rest of RL more comfortable. I wouldn't wish to give the wrong impression. Bad enough it hurts no need to add to it.

Maybe? If you're willing to consider it, send a message to the mods. I'm sure they'd be willing to weigh the options and risks WI have you, and would likely appreciate you reaching out after a bit of controversy. Kudos for being attentive to this!

I just feel awful that I didn't get over half the notifications to this post so something that would have been immediately addressed ballooned up. I'll message the mods. Thanks for the reply!

This photo makes me really uneasy. Who thinks about taking photos while driving?? If you feel the need to take a photo pull off somewhere. If it's not important enough to stop then it's not important enough to risk someone's life.

Holy poop, that looks painful 😔

Ouch!! That looks like it hurts. I've been there before, and it isn't fun. It sucks how something like closing a door or picking up a box can ruin your nails!

CND Shellac in Indigo Frock -- I apologize for the sorry state of my cuticles. I was just closing my car door. :(

Oh no! that looks painful :(
You can fix it!! until it grows out.
two of my nails are currently patched.

I am trying to get it patched now. No way I could do it myself right now. It is not ideal but it beats the rest ripping off. I may just do silk or tea fabric and start protecting my nails that way. Thanks for sharing the link though, it really does work!

Good luck:) And if all else fails, at least you know it'll grow back!

It is fixed. It looks a little wonky (it's curved and my nails are flatter) but it doesn't hurt anymore. Thanks!

Awesome!! Yeah, mine come out wonky sometimes too.... Nothing a little glitter can't camouflage

Do you think a coffee filter will get the same results?
1
Hmmmm...... I don't see why it wouldn't? Worth a try, at least. I haven't used a coffee filter in years, so I'm trying to remember how thick they are compared to teabags.

Fixed it with a piece of silk. It was a painful mess.

Maybe? I think it depends on the quality/thickness of the filter.

owowowow

That looks super painful.

That seriously made me gasp. Ouch!!!!

Are.. Are you driving?! Revs not at idle, speedo up round 30 or something?
Unfortunately that looks about 60 mph :/
I didn't take the photo. I couldn't wrap the finger around the steering wheel so my companion snapped the photo. I am rather annoyed that I didn't get any of these notifications. So sorry!
No worries, in any case I'm sorry for your loss :(
Thank you! I should have snapped the photos as it was getting repaired because the tech worked a small miracle in the process. It was still attached to flesh so it couldn't be removed just sort of cobbled together. :|
Now I have a curvy nail over it to protect the wound. I never thought those plastic tips would be good for anything but apparently they are perfect for shielding open nail beds.
