Ewww eww eww!!
I had something similar happen in high school actually, after I stubbed mine really hard. I did try to paint over it. I don't think anyone was fooled -- if anyone noticed at all.

The legendary bruised and detaching toenails are very common with long distance runners, but how horrifying when it *actually* happens to your own toenail. Yucky fu.
You do have a good excuse if someone asks you about it: "ACTUALLY, I'm training for a marathon!" I'm sure it will turn a normal color and grow back in good time. But yeah, I've had gross feet history, I can relate to how embarrassing it can be. I won't laugh at you. But I will require one long, curious stare, okay?

It's a badge of honour. Wear it well.
My wife lost her first toe nail in last years Round the Bay 30km race. This after about 12 marathons.
Myself, I have never lost a toe nail but do indeed get some nasty blisters.

just make sure you paint the rest of your toenails too...or it might look a little conspicuous. :o)
