Pinkie nail disattached

So I recently got a full set and yesterday my pinkie got caught into something and without realizing I pulled my hand away from it and it got caught and started to bleed. It looks like my nail got this attached from my pinkie. What should I do? 😞

I'd put a bandaid over it and just let it grow out, hope it gets better soon! I hate break nails :(

Where can I get the plaster? Thanks so much for the help ladies! It hurts so much and I'm trying to be super careful with it. I'm trying not to mess with it so hopefully it will grow out (: omg I know, I just broke another one while I was working 😪 should I take off my fake nail?

Breanna, a plaster is another word for like a band-aid :)

I would get that fake nail off so your natural nail can breath and reduce the risk of infection. that may be tricky though since that last thing you want to do is soak your nail in acetone.

Ohh okay thanks Kat. I was thinking about that too Kelly but it hasn't been a week with them yet so my nail hasn't really grown. I was thinking of putting peroxide on it? Should I or no?

Try dipping it in warm water with sea salt. It'll help clean it and heal. It shouldn't sting too bad because that's how I've cleaned all my piercings and it never hurt.
