Hello i have long nails and stupidity and itched ny nails with it and now my ear hyrts did i rupture my eardrum or just irritate my ear?

You most likely irritated the outer ear tissues. You would have to go very deep to rupture your eardrum. Refrain from sticking anything in your ear for a week and allow the area to heal. If the pain persists see your physician.
