Stock phrase of the City Mouse, Fallen Princess, Rich Bitch, Alpha Bitch or, more stereotypically, the token woman. Sometimes used by the Action Girl after a particularly grueling fight in which this is the only injury she is concerned about. In any case, the character is Always Female unless it's a deliberate play on the trope. The phrase is, of course, used to show off how petty or vain she is, especially if it's used in the face of more pressing concerns. It may also be a Berserk Button for her. Most Writers Are Male, with short-clipped nails that rarely if ever get broken in contrast to the longer and more vulnerable nails women are likely to have. As a result, it took a long time for women to get across that a nail can be broken more badly than just spoiling her manicure. They can be ripped right back to the finger, damaging the cluster of nerves at the tip and causing bleeding. Simply put, broken nails hurt, and that's why she's crying. It can also lead to a hangnail, which can easily get infected. Nowadays, it's used more as a joke than anything, often by an Action Girl who's just been in a fight to show how tough she is that this is all the damage the guys could do to her. Because of this, it's become a Discredited Trope. Sometimes guys use it to show that they're very vain. Occasionally, this is used as an insult toward the rich, that they would fret about breaking a nail if they were outdoors, or otherwise tasked with work. Compare Minor Injury Overreaction, which this is a subtrope of. For serious injury to the nail, look under Fingore. When this happens to toenails, look up Agony of the Feet. |

In Superman/Batman: Apocalypse: She's a Kryptonian under a yellow sun. Her fingernails should be practically indestructible, so some impressive forces were at work there, and that's very possibly the only actual injury she took in that whole ordeal. |

In an earlier episode, she herself shoved a girl, who went down shouting "I think you broke it". Another girl asks if she broke her finger. The answer is "Worse." Do we need to write her next sentence? |

In Totally Spies!, Clover (the most feminine of the main three who cares the most about her appearance) sometimes gets upset over breaking one of her nails (to point of Skewed Priorities). This has also happened to Clover's rival, Mandy, a couple of times—in one episode of the fourth season, it was enough for Mandy to ultimately become a villainess bent on world domination. And in an episode of the fifth season, Mandy got so upset over breaking one of her nails that she ends up passing out (which even Clover found ridiculously). |

Total Drama: While climbing the other guys in "The Chefshank Redemption" to get to the one ceiling exit out of the trailer, Justin is horrified to incur a hangnail. In the exclusive clip for "Super Hero-ld", Leshawna theorizes that Harold voted her off because he was bullied into it. She rages through the Lame-o-sine at the thought of Duncan mistreating Harold, but calms down knowing there's nothing she can do for now. It's then that she realizes she broke a nail during her rampage. |

The trope image comes from Ménage à 3: just as Zii and Yuki are discussing how they need someone "solid" as the bassist for their group, there's a Gilligan Cut to Sonya (Zii's recruit for the role) saying the line while practicing the bass guitar. Sonya somehow gets the trope again, and possibly even worse: she did learn the bass, and was in fact very good with it. And once she and Yuki jam with a Loony Fan of Zii that's usually a Dreadful Musician but all of sudden starts playing well and really fast, Sonya's attempts to catch up are highlighted with "AH! Think I just lost a nail!". |

Power Rangers Lost Galaxy: this happens twice to Big Bad Trakeena. The first time (back when she was still Daddy's Little Villain and more concerned with her apperances than anything else) it happens when she practices her fighting skills with some stingwingers. One of them accidently breaks one of her nails and she angrily vaporizes the Stingwinger in retaliation. The second time it happens during her Training from Hell with Villamax, who simply responds to her angry reaction that he only has 9 to go then. Also happens to Nadira in Power Rangers Time Force during a battle with the Rangers. Naturally she goes whining to Ransik about it and rather than explain the absurdity of using your fingernails as weapons against sword-wielding superheroes, he promises to make them pay...and we're not talking about for a new manicure, either. |

Saved by the Bell: In an early episode, Lisa Turtle gets frustrated during an interrogation — and breaking a nail makes her frustration even worse. Also, in another episode, she tells Nikki that she also doesn't want to dissect frogs — but that, instead of sharing Nikki's concern for the welfare of animals, she just doesn't want to ruin her nails. However, she doesn't care that much — that she would risk getting an F. |

Stacey from American Dragon: Jake Long was once seen running scared by Jake and Trixie. Trixie said she'd probably complain about a broken nail. At first, it seemed the trope would be subverted as Stacey mentioned Huntsboys 88 and 89 capturing Spud but then she did complain about her broken nail. When Jake and Trixie went running to help Spud, Stacey thought they would call for someone to repair the broken nail. | |

Ludwig Revolution doubly subverts this: The title character, Prince Ludwig (obviously male), who is always pictured to pay a lot of attention to his looks and is directly said to be incredibly vain, breaks his nail while shooting at a monster (his love interest) in order to save his male servant.

Beetle Bailey: This turns out to be the reason Sgt. Louise Lugg mauled a guy so badly while playing American football.

In Code Lyoko, Odd makes fun of Sissi in his amateur movie Natural Grandeur by showing her as a giant and dubbing her as saying "Oh no, I broke a nail!" in a distorted voice. | |

Losing a nail is actually a painful experience, particularly if it's only partly come off and a new one is growing trying to push the remains of the old one out. It's even worse if you're doing something that primarily involves your fingers, like playing video games (as happened to ProtonJon during his livestream of Pepsiman). | |

A fight against Comrade Red in an episode of Justice Friends causes She-Thing to break a nail. Krunk's desperate attempts to calm her down make her even madder, and she subsequently goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge, smashing everything in her line of sight. | |

Willie Scott uses this line twice in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The first time she only "cracked" a nail, rather than actually breaking it, but that was still apparently a good enough excuse for her to practically throw Indy's gun out the side of the car. | |
