Can I glue a broken nail with super glue?

You have worked hard to get your fingernails long.You have taken care to file them and keep them looking perfect, knowing you have a big event coming up like an important party or wedding to go to and you will get the chance for your nails to look fantastic.Suddenly, you see a crack in your nail, and it looks far from perfect.What are you going to do about it?If you have a broken nail, you can use super glue to fix it yourself, instead of going to the nail salon or cutting your nails.
