ABSTRACT:
A nail protector and method includes a cover portion dimensioned to fit over a nail of a digit to form a gap with the nail, and a bump formed on an underside of the cover portion and configured to contact skin adjacent to the nail without contact with the nail. A lateral portion is hingedly connected to the cover portion to create at least a partial enclosure for receiving the digit without passing over the nail. A biasing device is configured to secure and bias the at least one lateral portion against the digit. The biasing device extends in an opposite longitudinal direction from a distal end of the cover portion to support the cover portion and maintain the gap.
