There's a vertical split in the top of the nail on my pointing finger. I
don't want it to catch on something and rip off, or get worse (it's only
4-5mm into the pink zone). I want to get ti to heal.

I have had it in sticking plaster for about 6 weeks, but the split
continues down as the nail grows. Bloody nuisance.

Any ideas/experience?

One oft suggested option is a blob of superglue. Some suggest a
fibreglass matt style repair using a bit of "fabric" cut from a (unused)
teabag. So apply a small blob of glue and spread around the nail, apply
patch and tamp down, then apply glue again over the top. That should
stop the split propagating. You then need wait for it to grow out.
