Best way to hide this? (Nail related)

Managed to tear my nail about half way up. It bled a lot but the nail was still attached so I've stuck it back into place using the tea bag method. It looks like badly applied matte nail varnish. (Crap pic attached)

I've been moaned at today at work about it (not allowed any nail varnish/false nails) so I need a way to hide it. I've tried plasters but we have to have the blue ones and because my hands are in and out of water all of the time they just fall off.

Any ideas? I'm off tomorrow so have chance to sort something out.

Thanks 😀

One of those thingies... It's like a little pouch on elastic. I'll have a Google and pop back. Only thing is you would get water in it.

Whats the tea bag method? ?

You need nail glue and a tea bag wrapper (not used!)

Cut a section of teabag to fit your nail and glue it into place. Let dry. Repeat a couple of times. It basically forms a false nail to protect the broken nail underneath.
