Can you put a fake nail on a missing toenail? Yes. The resin can be used to create a 'replacement nail'.
Protect any exposed part of the nail bed for 7 to 10 days until this skin hardens and isn't sensitive anymore. Coat the area with antibiotic ointment and top with a nonstick bandage.
It is actually quite common for nail salons to do acrylic on toenails to fix broken or unequal nails. The standard procedure is first to prep your toenail with a drill, apply the acrylics, and then file and buff the nail before finally applying polish.
In short, it's certainly possible to get acrylics on a broken or damaged nail, but it's important to consult an experienced nail tech first, as your nail may need professional help.
Your damaged nail needs to grow out completely so that it can be replaced with a healthy nail. While you wait, stick to regular nail polish, get regimented about moisturizing, and stay away from acrylics. And when in doubt, go see a pro for their advice.

"If you have a big event coming up, you can paint the new toenail. However, nail polish prevents maximum airflow to the nail, so the best way to ensure healthy regrowth is to keep the nail free of polish until it's fully grown in," says Dr. Batra.
Keep the nail bed dry, clean, and covered with petroleum jelly and an adhesive bandage until the nail bed is firm or the nail has grown back. Apply a new adhesive bandage whenever the bandage gets wet. Watch for signs of infection such as increasing heat, redness, pain, tenderness, swelling, or pus.
The nail bed is moist, soft, and sensitive. It needs to be protected from injury for the first 7 to 10 days until it dries out and becomes hard. Keep it covered with a nonstick dressing or a bandage with ointment.
Retronychia occurs when the nail plate (the hard part of the nail made of the protein keratin) grows into the nail fold. Multiple generations of new nail plates can then grow on top of one another in a stack under the old nail plate because the nail matrix and the old nail plate are no longer aligned.
Use gel polish as nail glue
You can use gel polish as a substitute for nail glue! Gel polish when cured hardens to become an adhesive for your press-on nails on your nail plate. Unlike nail adhesive tabs, gel polish can be just as strong as nail glue and lasts long if properly cured and taken care of.
Cover the nail with tape or an adhesive bandage until the nail has grown out enough to protect the finger or toe. If you trim off the detached nail, you will have less worry about the nail catching and tearing. If you leave the detached nail in place, it will eventually fall off when the new nail grows in.
Detached toenails are usually safe to remove, and they will typically grow back within a year and a half. A detached toenail can result from an injury or infection. Fungal infections or injuries may require additional medical attention to help ensure the toenail grows back properly.
Alternatives to toenailing include the use of joist hangers, hurricane ties, and other engineered steel connectors designed to drive nails on a perpendicular to a wood surface.
Onycholysis is when your nail separates from its nail bed. It often appears after an injury to your nail, but it may have other causes, including fungi. Treatment may only involve cutting away the separated nail as it grows out, or you may need to take antifungal medications or stop using certain nail products.
The nail created under toenail reconstruction is described as a prosthetic, it is not an acrylic nail, instead it is designed to look and feel exactly the same as a natural nail. Toenail reconstruction uses a specialised gel that is flexible, whereas the gel used in salons for fingernails is hard.
Soak your foot in a combination of 1 tsp (5 g) of salt and 4 cups (1 L) of warm water for 20 minutes, 2 or 3 times each day, for the first 3 days after you lose your toenail. Cover with a fresh bandage. Ensure the nail bed is kept dry and clean until the nail bed is firm and you see signs of the nail growing back.
If there's a problem with the toe, the nail growing cells have been partially damaged, or something like a fungal nail infection or other problem is present, then the nail may grow back distorted. It's really a case-by-case situation and it depends very much on your personal history.
Can I use super glue as nail glue? The short and quick answer is NO. Super glue is not formulated for use on nails or skin. It contains harsh chemicals that can cause skin irritations, allergic reactions, and even chemical burns.
I recommend using super glue for a broken nail instead of "nail glue" because there's no need to buy something special. Super glue works perfectly well and contains the same main ingredient as nail glue. Cut your tea bag to the size of the nail bed that's broken.
Nail glue and superglue are two types of adhesive used to bond materials together. Both achieve a strong bond in seconds; however, they have different properties which make them better suited for certain applications.
If you lose your nail, it will take about 7 to 10 days for the nail bed to heal. A new fingernail will take about 4 to 6 months to grow to replace the lost nail. Toenails take about 12 months to grow back. The new nail will probably have grooves or ridges and be somewhat misshapen.
If completely removed, fingernails may take 6 months to grow back. Toenails may take 12 to 18 months to grow back. Injured nails may look different when they grow back. Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety.
