I was using a sewing machine and i noticed that i broke my nail the nail did not go through my fingers thank god. what should i do about my rip nail?

If not totally torn: If it is an incomplete tear, you could try superglue. Hand washing will cause the glue to loosen so you may need to repeat, until the nail has grown out enough for you to clip it. Be careful.
