There are topical gels/ointments with lidocaine or benzocaine you can buy now that will numb the fingernail area.
Zcaine, Topicaine, and Americaine are some brand names.
Ask your pharmacist. I use Americaine myself for injuries, etc.
This is the Americaine.

These may be found with the hemorrhoidal products, or in the
first aid section. Americaine spray is often used for sunburns, but I'd get a gel or ointment form for your purposes. Read the ingredients and look for either lidocaine or benzocaine on the package.
Lidocaine typically is 3 or 4%.
Benzocaine needs to be higher and Americaine is 20%.
