Magnesium Sulfate commonly causes an orangish tinge to single fingernails. Keep away from household cleaning supplies and cod liver oil for a couple weeks and it'll gradually disappear.

How do you get finger nail polish last more then one day?

Reapply a clear polish over every other day and make sure you get the tips of your nails (the very top and behind you nail that is showing) as that is were the nail polish starts to wear off.How do you get finger nail polish last more then one day?
Let it dry between coats and put a clear coat on it.How do you get finger nail polish last more then one day?
Actually thax 4 asking that question cuz i was wondering the same thing im gonna go do my nails now thanx!
i get th enail polish to last mor then one day by first applying a coat of clear nail polish let it dry apply a coat of the color i like let that dry and then apply another of the clear
put on a clear coat over the top... there is also a product to put on before you paint your nails which helps it last longer. don't buff your nails before you put on polish because that makes it come off faster. OPI is a good brand to use!
Get one of those square files that has both the shiner and thin grit together(at any drugstore). First take the thin grit side and file your nail good, then use the polish side until your nail is shiny. Then wash your hands. Do one layer of nail polish, then a second and finally use a good clear coat and make sure you let them dry completely. Works every time.
First apply 1 coat of nail hardener allow to dry, then apply 1 coat of polish allow to dry apply another coat of polish allow to dry again then apply a top coat allow to dry and apply another coat of topcoat. that should last for awhile. you can also apply top coat every other day to keep polish lasting for a long time.

  • How could I stop ripping/tearing off my finger nails?

    When I go online and I read essays or long things like that I always have to keep tearing off my nail from my left index finger. I can't stop and my nail is very short and I just keep doing it. Also to help me stop I usually eat hot cheetoes to substitute for the nail ripping but then I always do it. And in school I do it alot. So what is a way that I can stop this? I also have OCD if that has to do with this problem too.How could I stop ripping/tearing off my finger nails?

    Help! I bite off the skin around my finger nails!?

    I know its gross and horrible, and I want to stop but I can't - I bite off the skin around my fingernails. What I do is clasp the skin in my teeth and just rip. I notice myself doing it when I'm nervous or when something stresses me out. I've just done it because something stressed me out and now I'm really regretting it because I have hurt my finger (made it sore). I'm a 16 year old girl and I want nice fingers, not horrible ones.





    1) Have I got OCD?


    2) What can I do to make myself stop doing it?Help! I bite off the skin around my finger nails!?
    I don't know what it's called, but I know you can get some off this bitter tasting stuff which you put on your nails to stop biting them. Maybe you could put this stuff on your skin.Help! I bite off the skin around my finger nails!?
    Hello i do the same thing, i always bite the sides of my fingers %26amp; sometimes i dont even realise im doing it %26amp; i think it looks horrible cos it is good to hav attractive fingers %26amp; nails so lately i have tried to stop biting them %26amp; it will re-heal itself %26amp; they are getting better, you can use nails expert nutri boost from avon or you local boots %26amp; it helps your nails get strong %26amp; also will stop you bitin the side on you fingers cos the nail polish will taste bad. I have also started taking perfectil triple active tablets from boots that help with skin, hair %26amp; nails.

    you may think its gross but oh well:





    okay dip your fingers in something gross, like vinegar or something that you absolutely hate the flavor of





    when you go to bit your skin/nails, you will stop from the horrible flavor





    GOODLUCK

    Any guys with long finger nails leave negative impressions to people.





    It makes yourself looks dirty, unkempt and would make you lose chances of opportunities.





    In Asia, males with long nails are associated with street gangsters who can brag but not capable of anything.





    You should cut away those long nails, buff them nicely, to give yourself a cool clean look.
    Guys with long finger nails? That's an oxymoron!!!

    All the girls i know don't like long nails. I guess because its dirty and unhygenic and they look 'un-masculine' (if thats a word), but also because they scratch when being touched/intimate.





    Short neat nails are best. It shows you take pride in your appearance and your not lazy/dirty. Keep them cut nice and short for all of us ladies out there please!! =)

    Women; do you have half moons on your finger nails? are you pregnant? ever been pregnant?

    i read in the book uncommon cures for the everyday aliments that women who do not posses moons are quite possible abloe to have children....ahhhhhhhhhhWomen; do you have half moons on your finger nails? are you pregnant? ever been pregnant?
    Your half moon is called your lunula and it's definatley an old wifes tale.





    Your nail is made up of many things your matrix being one of them and thats found under the skin just behind the cuticle this is where your nail cells are produced and they are a white opaque colour, here they get flattened and are then pushed out to form the nail plate as they are pushed out they go translucent.


    Sometimes though they don't flatten properly and so they stay the opaque white colour and so when pushed out onto the nail you get your half moon (lunula) it doesnt mean anything if you've got them or you havent it's just un-flattened nail cells





    Hope that helps youWomen; do you have half moons on your finger nails? are you pregnant? ever been pregnant?
    I don't have half moons and on the first attempt to get pregnant I did! I now have a 4 month old daughter ;-)
    i do, and i'm pregnant. i've never heard that before. i think it's just an old wive's tale.
    I have half moons and I have been pregnant but I miscarried. This is very strange, I have never heard of this before I will have to look into it.
    I have never heard this before. I have half moons and so far have been unable to concieve, may not be able.( PCOS) I will research and try to get back to you.

    One of my rats won't leave my finger nails alone!?

    I feel really bad for one of my rats. She doesn't get to crawl on me very much because she won't leave my finger nails alone for 2 minutes! I have short natural nails and she has lots to chew on in her cage. She runs on her wheel constantly and when she does come to the cage door, it's either for a treat or to bite my nails. I would like to know if there is a way I can break her out of this habit as the other one doesn't do it at all.One of my rats won't leave my finger nails alone!?
    I have one that does this too. I broke her of the biting habit by spraying my hands/fingers with bitter apple, its a spray that usually breaks animals of chewing on things including people! You can buy it almost anywhere, especially pet stores, or even walmart. Not too expensive, maybe 6 dollars or so. Try it and see how that goes!One of my rats won't leave my finger nails alone!?
    I'd think she could be trained to not do that. When my ratties do something I don't want them to I yell ';no!'; in a loud firm voice.





    They do seem to learn not to repeat said action, believe it or not. Smart little buggers.
    Be careful she doesn't get out. Rats can chew through concrete.

    Does anybody have some tips for painting the finger nails on my right hand with my left hand?

    I love to have my nails painted from time to time but I can't get my right hand to look good because my left is a bit shaky when I try so I hardly ever have them painted. Any ideas? Thanks!Does anybody have some tips for painting the finger nails on my right hand with my left hand?
    omg i knoww. i hate this problem too..


    usually, i ask my sister or my mom to help me do the other hand.


    if i cant, then i just try to go as slow as i can to apply the polish.


    it might also help if u practice on a piece of paper first with ur left hand. i know that sounds silly, but it actually helps and prevents the shakiness.

    No, because even if you put top nail clear polish on it, the whole thing will smudge even though it's completely dry.Can you use poster paint on your finger nails to paint them?
    Its safe as most poster paints are water based and non-toxic. but it might not stay on too well. You would have to let it dry completely and quickly apply a topcoat to get to hold.

    Have any of you ladies noticed stronger finger nails since taking folic acid.?

    So my partner and i have been trying to conceive for 2 months now.





    I started taking Folic acid, and Calcium 2 months ago.





    I have noticed in the last 3 weeks that my finger nails are STRONG (not breaking or peeling). I have had weak nails my whole life.





    Do you think this is due to the folic acid or the calcium or a mixture of both? What an added extra bonus.





    Can i take folic acid for the rest of my life? or is it a bit dangerous?Have any of you ladies noticed stronger finger nails since taking folic acid.?
    PreNatal vitamins will definitely effect your hair, skin, nails etc.


    I was also taking PreNatals for 3 weeks and then stopped. I could see when my nails grew out longer that there was a distinct difference in my nail bed %26amp; nail strength.


    You are perfectly safe taking PreNatals as a daily vitamin for as long as you want. (Otherwise how could it be safe for pregnant women taking it for almost a year?)


    I've heard it suggested that all women should take PreNatal vitamins as their Daily MultiVitamin (as long as it's safe %26amp; unless contraindicated by their Doctor.)


    I'm going back to taking them too!





    Good Luck in your TTC efforts! Baby dust to all of us!


    :)Have any of you ladies noticed stronger finger nails since taking folic acid.?
    Folic acid is a B vitamin. It may help with hair growth and it may help with nails. It does many things for the body. Yes you can take it the rest of your life. It is best taken with its' counsins, the other B vitamins. They work best together. Get a B Complex at your nearest Vitamin World store. If you want other supplements that will help with nail growth, try the herb Horsetail. Or take a good prenatal vitamin. They are necessary for any woman trying to conceive, and a good choice for a woman, pregnant or not.
    When i was pregnat and taking the vitamins my hair was better, nails grow faster and stronger. Id say its more from the calcium but then again i drink tons of whole milk and i dont have the luck anymore so it could be both. Id say look that up on the web.


    I know penty of woman who take prenatals just for the benefits of better hair and nails. I think there is more daily needs met with prenatals vs day to day vitamins. I could be wrong.


    Hope i was somewhat helpful :0)

    Why/how do u push back your finger nails?

    I was reading through the previous questions and some people said that you push it back to make it appear longer which totally confused me because if you push it back then won't it be shorter???


    Also some people said that it helps nails grow faster.





    I am really confused and i am only 12 so i cant go ask a professional nail person. Would anybody have a diagram about different parts of a fingernail that way i know what you are talking about when u say words like cuticle and lunula.Why/how do u push back your finger nails?
    The small thin piece of skin at the base of the nail is called your cuticle...the tool used in nail salons i believe is called a cuticle pusher, and it's primary use is to push the skin further down to prevent hangnails. (the little flaps of skin you get on the side of your nails that can get irritating or sometimes bleed if you try and peel them off). and the tool on fingernail clippers, the blunt and curved, is for scooping underneath your nails to clean out any dirt you may have. hope i helped,Why/how do u push back your finger nails?
    u push back the cuticle to show more of ur nail probably just for looks its just dead skin it doesnt hurt and yes the blunt and curved thing is for dirt and stuff under ur nail.
    Of a fingernail just knew yourself - get outta here.
    The skin is called the cuticle and yes thats what the curved piece is for

    What is this on my mom's finger nails?

    hello evryone, before you all call me a woman let me explain





    well my mom is 33 years old and weighs 162 pounds. she understands she is overweight but there is another concern that she has been looking at lately.





    her finger nails are starting to grow very strange. if you look at the side of her fingernail (not the top) you would see it is growing very crooked. not as in bent in a weird way. but it looks like a bump sorta. and it has a dent in it in the middle. im trying to explain as best as i can





    its not a growth, the bump is just the normal part of her nail only it is starting to bulge out and feels like a smooth bump. yes she is stressed and overweight.





    she is not eating very well and sleeps alot. she sleeps about 2 hours straight, even 3 sometimes. she works alot with chemicals, such as bleach and dis-infectants because her job is house cleaning, a.k.a house caring.





    please help because she has taken alot of concern during this week and she is already stressed out enough. another thing is that it is on the lunula part of her nail, the pinkish stuff.





    thanks alot guys :PWhat is this on my mom's finger nails?
    Hi


    I think your mum's blood system got too little iron and that is why her finger nails are growing that way.It is serious and it is an indication of her poor diet.


    tELL HER TO Go and see her GP.What is this on my mom's finger nails?
    You are right in worrying. Nails tell a lot about a persons health. She should ask a doctor about it. Look it up on line, I am sure there is info on it.
    Your weight doesnt affect your nails you know. Tell her to go see her doctor, it is probably nothing.

    Is it weird to leave my index finger nails long?

    You don't necessary have to read all this, you ma just answer.





    Ok, my mom has naturally really long, like 2 centimeters long I got bored one day, and I decided to grow up my index finger nails. They got to be like a centimeter and a half. Lots of people have seen them, and no one reacted to them in a negative way. I keep them nice and filed up. The last day of school, there was a waterballoonn fight, and there was a 10% change of theballoonn popping in my own hand thanks to the nails, I asked my friend if I should at east cut the nail in my throwing hand, and he said, 'Naww, just be extra careful';. Heck, another friend of mine admires these nails. And some bully came up to me one day and he said ';Woah, look at the size of those nails';. I mean I get nonegative feedback.





    So, I always file them up, but do you think its weird that I let grow my index finder nails long? (Both index fingers)








    Ps: No immaturee comments please.Is it weird to leave my index finger nails long?
    In my opinion, it is odd that you leave just index nails to grow. But if you like then it shouldn't matter what others think!


    Maybe you could try growing your middle fingers next and then grow your ring fingers and then grow them all out! But like I say its up to you!Is it weird to leave my index finger nails long?
    Well, I think I would assume a man with long nails was gay, but I am 40 so I guess I am old. The young Italian men started with a crazy a while back leaving their little finger nails long, and all the old Italian folk joked that this was so they could still pick their noses, lol......but they are your hands, and it's up to you.
    No, not really. I like people who take good care of their nails. My guy friend is the same; all of his other nails are cut short, but he keeps his index and pinkie nails pretty long.
    Its quite weirdo thingy..


    but if you like it then whose gonna stop ya..!!

    Do U have white semicircle on the finger nails? And...?

    Look carefully at your fingernails.. How much white semi-cirlce u have? When i was very young my mother who is a nurse told me that the more the white thing the more healthy u are.


    And i really agree, coz when i'm sick, the white thing becomes very little, yet after i recover it becomes more again.


    So what is the white thing? And does it really represent how heathy we are?Do U have white semicircle on the finger nails? And...?
    the semi-circle you are referringto is your cuticle and you know what you may be right, i just looked at mine and they are little and i have a whole book of illnesses but....................try taking a cuticle stick and pushing back the skin and see if they are larger sometimes the skin stsrts growing up towards the nail and it needs to be pushed backDo U have white semicircle on the finger nails?

    Vitamin B12 History


    Learn about Methylcobalamin, the active form of B12


    The truth isn't far off.





    Like a healthy plant, your fingernails grow. And, just


    as leaves show the health of a plant, your fingernails


    reveal your health and inner condition. (Hippocrates,


    400 B.C.E.)





    Every six months you have a new fingernail, from


    cuticle to tip. The rate of growth is about an eighth


    inch a month.





    Good vitamin B12 levels give you white moons on all


    your fingers; the thumbs' are the last to go. (Tessa


    Jupp, R.N., active in the Post-Polio Network, Dec.


    2001)





    If your moons have disappeared, you may have been


    short of vitamin B12 for a long time. If so, you may


    be noticing symptoms of B12 Malabsorption Illness:





    tingling hands and feet


    numbness


    memory problems


    feeling exhausted


    depression


    sensitivity to noise


    a lot of brown spots


    bleeding gums


    burning sensation (possibly on thighs)


    your legs jump at night


    bone pain


    balance and gait problems


    heavy menstrual bleeding or nose bleeds


    diarrhea





    Before your moons disappear, lines develop on your


    nails. These can be faint, to very visible ridges like


    fine wax drippings on a Chianti bottle -- lines on top


    of lines, like hog back hills. To see them clearly, use


    a magnifying glass or even reading glasses.





    If you have faint lines, no more noticeable than the


    tassels on the wheat in the image to the left, then run


    through the barbed issues above, looking for ones


    that apply to you. If three or four do, then be


    warned that the others may be only a few years


    away. If, that is, you do nothing.





    Blue skin under your fingernails indicates that you


    may be short of red blood cells and by extension,


    the oxygen they carry.





    Red blood cells are supposed to divide.

  • Why do you think people bite their finger nails down to the bone?

    Just to look at their fingers I have to turn away. Their nails look so bad. Here it looks like no more nail could be bitten, and they are still biting away. Yuck! That is so awful. It's always something, isn't it?Why do you think people bite their finger nails down to the bone?
    i do. i used to be a worry wart(that when it started) and now it's bad habit that i can't stop. i do it without thinking i know i'm doing it but when ever i try to stop bt my heads like ';its a hang nail get it of'; or ';it si so rigid smooth it out'; and i always make it worse its beem 9 years.Why do you think people bite their finger nails down to the bone?
    I've bitten my nails down to the quick, but never to the bone. I think I'd have to be rather stressed to reach that stage.
    I am guilty as charged. I have always done it because I'm a nervous wreck all the time and it's a coping mechanism. Grody I know.
    I hate it it is totally disgusting. Why would you want to chew on your dirty finger nails just think about all the things you touch in a day.
    I do it, not to the bone, it's bad nerves and lots of stress.
    Nerves, stress and just being fidgety can be the reason for this bad habit. I think some people are so use to doing it they now do it without even thinking.





    I agree YUCK!
    It's a nervous habit. I had it as a child. I have pity on those who can't stop.

    maybe it is a nervous disorder these people have..... ever think of that?

    Do U have white semicircle on the finger nails? And...?

    Look carefully at your fingernails.. How much white semi-cirlce u have? When i was very young my mother who is a nurse told me that the more the white thing the more healthy u are.


    And i really agree, coz when i'm sick, the white thing becomes very little, yet after i recover it becomes more again.


    So what is the white thing? And does it really represent how heathy we are?Do U have white semicircle on the finger nails? And...?
    the semi-circle you are referringto is your cuticle and you know what you may be right, i just looked at mine and they are little and i have a whole book of illnesses but....................try taking a cuticle stick and pushing back the skin and see if they are larger sometimes the skin stsrts growing up towards the nail and it needs to be pushed backDo U have white semicircle on the finger nails? And...?

    not much for me o.o





    yes i'm pretty sure it kinda shows how healthy you are in some way..not sure what they are tho
    ya it shows that u have calcium deficiency
    Vitamin B12 History


    Learn about Methylcobalamin, the active form of B12


    The truth isn't far off.





    Like a healthy plant, your fingernails grow. And, just


    as leaves show the health of a plant, your fingernails


    reveal your health and inner condition. (Hippocrates,


    400 B.C.E.)





    Every six months you have a new fingernail, from


    cuticle to tip. The rate of growth is about an eighth


    inch a month.





    Good vitamin B12 levels give you white moons on all


    your fingers; the thumbs' are the last to go. (Tessa


    Jupp, R.N., active in the Post-Polio Network, Dec.


    2001)





    If your moons have disappeared, you may have been


    short of vitamin B12 for a long time. If so, you may


    be noticing symptoms of B12 Malabsorption Illness:





    tingling hands and feet


    numbness


    memory problems


    feeling exhausted


    depression


    sensitivity to noise


    a lot of brown spots


    bleeding gums


    burning sensation (possibly on thighs)


    your legs jump at night


    bone pain


    balance and gait problems


    heavy menstrual bleeding or nose bleeds


    diarrhea





    Before your moons disappear, lines develop on your


    nails. These can be faint, to very visible ridges like


    fine wax drippings on a Chianti bottle -- lines on top


    of lines, like hog back hills. To see them clearly, use


    a magnifying glass or even reading glasses.





    If you have faint lines, no more noticeable than the


    tassels on the wheat in the image to the left, then run


    through the barbed issues above, looking for ones


    that apply to you. If three or four do, then be


    warned that the others may be only a few years


    away. If, that is, you do nothing.





    Blue skin under your fingernails indicates that you


    may be short of red blood cells and by extension,


    the oxygen they carry.

    Help! I'm having problem with my finger nails, they are always growing unevenly, how to improve??

    I don't know why, but my fingerm nails are always growing unevenly, sometimes the skin of the surface also peel off.. Is there any way to improve? Is it because i lack of some nutient?Help! I'm having problem with my finger nails, they are always growing unevenly, how to improve??
    Sounds like your nails are weak. Drink more milk, eat more cheese, anything with alot of calcium. This is the most important part. If your body doesn't absorb calcium well, eat foods that will help absorb calcium. (That one must ask YAHOO! Answers, I oso dunno.)





    Try not to use or immerse your nails in water for too long. This dries out the nails. Use gloves when washing dishes.





    Don't bother with any nail creams. Keep filing them as they grow longer, like every other day or so.Help! I'm having problem with my finger nails, they are always growing unevenly, how to improve??
    you can get a manicure
    get them done!!!!
    There are some supplements you can take for stronger nails and hair. You can find them at the pharmacy, watson's or guardian.





    The other thing I found that really helps is using a good hand or cuticle cream. Sally Hansen has a good line of creams and oils for hands and nails.





    Finally, it also helps to file the edges of your nails and buff them once in a while. You can get a filing/buffing block from Manicare, Sally Hansen or The Body Shop. It's relatively cheap - $5 or so. You can use it to file off the hard bits of your nail and buff it to a nice healthy shine.

    The white crescent shows on my finger nails from years of picking at my cuticles, how do I get it to grow back?

    At the base of your nail is the white crescent, which I have now read is called the germinal matrix. About 1/4 of an inch of mine is exposed, which is way more than most people. Now that I take care of my nails, my cuticles don't seem to be growing back over them. Does anyone know how to make your cuticles grow back?The white crescent shows on my finger nails from years of picking at my cuticles, how do I get it to grow back?
    I can't imagine anyone not be proud of having crescents showing on their fingernails. I sure wish I did. They're beautiful.

  • POLL: What should I paint my finger nails?

    I can do a design on them such as stripes, zebra stripes, %26amp; cheetah print. Paint every other nail a different color (like one pink and one green and so on). But I have some colors that I have picked out and I need help deciding on them. And I need some answers tonight please because I'm going to paint them tongiht, THANK YOU in advance. :)


    So I have:


    China Glaze-Strawberry Fields (A bright pink with gold shimmer)


    China Glaze-Ruby Pumps (A Christmas red with glitter/shimmer)


    China Glaze-Unplugged (rich chocolate brown with gold shimmer)


    China Glaze-Emerald Sparkle (Green with glitter)


    China Glaze-For Audrey (A Tiffany%26amp;Co Blue, a very light blue)POLL: What should I paint my finger nails?
    Paint them all Strawberry Fields. Maybe do a cheetah print.POLL: What should I paint my finger nails?
    too many different colors / patterns looks messy and clashy. pick one color..paint your nails that color..and do a design on one of your nails on each hand..for example paint them all pink and then do a zebra design on both of your ring fingers..it looks MUCH classier!
    here r some options:


    -Strawberry Fields and Emerald Sparkle ZEBRA


    -For Audrey and Emerald Sparkle STRIPES


    -Strawberry Fields and For Audrey ZEBRA%26amp;CHEETAH


    -Ruby Pumps and Emerald Sparkle STRIPES (Christmas)

    omg i know the other colors well and they're all pretty gorgeous but i just googled strawberry fields and omg, it's so gorgeous!! i say go for tht one. u made me really want it! it looks stunning on its own without a design =)
    I think that the base should be Ruby Pums and maybe Emerald Sparkle dots or stripes.





    Just to get into the spirit of Christmas holidays that are soon =D lol
    Strawberry fields with cheetah print.
    I am between the tiffanys one and the bright pink with gold shimmer

    How do you stop biting your finger nails?

    I have a horrible problem biting my finger nails! it is very awkward when people just stare at me.So i decide to stop.Its alot harder than I thought and it makes me want to bite on them even more! I dont know what to do! do you have any suggestions?????How do you stop biting your finger nails?
    get acrylic nails? you won't be able to bite them heh. If you don't want to pay for that then constantly paint your nails, nail polish doesn't taste good. You could try dipping your fingers in something that smells strong like garlic for example but you probably don't want to smell like garlic either. I suggest painting them though.How do you stop biting your finger nails?
    I ask myself the same question!
    ugh, i bite my nails too.


    i tried to stop with the nasty tasting clear nail polish, the only problem with that is you get used to the taste after awhile and don't even notice. anyways, i'm now just trying to stop by noticing when i'm doing it and stopping my self, sometimes i just bite one nail only, but i paint them a lot and that helps because i don't want to ruin them. um, i also chew gum a lot and that keeps me busy lol. i hope that helps.

    i have the same problem for years lets say bout 10 years or more. i tried everything but never work. go to a store and buy nailpolish that has a bad scent and bad taste and that could help you not bite your nails. its been 2 weks or maybe more since i finally stopped biting my nails. to tell you the truth i thought about it and i always wanted to have prettty nails but it was hard. just think about it. its all in your head...
    I have the SAME exact problem and I tried pretty much everything and I'm currently biting my nails as we speak. I personally don't recommend the hot sauce because I'm used to eating spicy things and normal nailpolish DOES NOT work! Also, never try the ';rubber band on your wrist'; thing, its eventually gonna leave you marks on your wrist which in my opinion are worse that ragged nails. Try not to stress, even though it can be impossible at times. And if that doesn't work, I suggest you use a nail strengthening polish daily. They come in clear (sally hansen) and do wonders for strengthening your nails. When your nails are stronger it is harder to bite them off. You actually can get to a point where the only way to bite the nail off is if you focus on biting... which since you want to stop biting, you will realize that you are doing it and stop.





    Hope I helped :D
    one of the hardddest things to stop. i just started using this sally hanson nail polish and it tasted soo bad that i couldnt stand biting them anymore. i had to watch out what i did though because sometimes id pick it off without knowing and start biting, so i kept it with me like at all times.
    Don't use toilet paper.
    wear nailpolish.That is what i do because i get scared if i bite them with the nail polish on that i will get sick from the chemicals. Anyway who would want to bite pretty nails?
    You can find this special nail polish at most supermarkets or drug stores that has a really nasty taste when you put your fingers to your mouth. I recommend that or if you dont want to spend money try hot sauce.
    You can buy this stuff at the drug store that looks kind of like clear nail polish but it has a SUPER bitter taste to it and its clear and you just put it on your fingers and it tastes so gross you wont want to bite them. Its called no bite I think.

    I used to bite mine when I was younger, and now it bugs me so bad when people do it. To stop biting mine, I got this stuff that goes on your fingernails and makes them taste nasty so you will stop. It didn't work for my sister, but it did me. Just try it.

    How can I stop cutting my finger nails? Read detail.?

    Whenever I go into the bathroom I clip my fingernails and I always end up cutting them so short they bleed or i can hardly use my hands.





    I went away for a week to Germany and I forgot to pack nail clippers so my nails grew a bit but I just ended up picking them. And now they are really sore again.





    What can I do to stop? I don't bite them so that Stop 'N' Grow thing.





    Thanks xxHow can I stop cutting my finger nails? Read detail.?
    I completely understand.


    Whenever I'm holding scissors I just HAVE to cut something. Usually my fingernails or whatever papers or plastic is lying around.


    Make sure you don't have scissors or clippers in your bathroom and whenever you're tempted put on gloves, or do something to distract yourself.How can I stop cutting my finger nails? Read detail.?
    Put an elastic band around your wrist and when you feel like you want to cut your nails, ping your wrist with the band.


    And if you do have to clip them, why not just clip them to a reasonable length? - Not cut them off so they bleed.





    :]
    Give yourself an insentive
    When you notice you do it, stop?


    Dare I say DUH?


    gosh some people are sooo retarded.
    Just dont cut them

    Y R my cuticles super thick; finger nails have vertical ridges; thumbnails have horizontal bumps & bubbles?

    About a year ago, my cuticles and fingernails changed dramatically. I have always had tendancies towards horizontal bumps in my thumbnails and fingernails that would sort of curl down in places...but there have been long periods of time where they were long, beautiful and perfect. But a year ago, they started getting thick vertical ridges, some even splitting vertically. My thumbnails now have thick and thin places that seem to come from horizontal bumps...they are really weird. I also have these bubble like things in one thumbnail that actually peels in the middle of it, and a vertical ridge in the same spot can even cause it to split vertically in the middle of the nail. I must have some deficiency or something. Perhaps low thyroid? It has gotten worse...and my cuticles are super thick now and I have less feeling in them. I even have to trim them with clippers because they get so thick all around my nail bed and the sides. I hope someone can tell me what I can do about it!Y R my cuticles super thick; finger nails have vertical ridges; thumbnails have horizontal bumps %26amp; bubbles?
    sounds like a fungus. Go to the dermatologist and get it looked at. simple meds could fix. My aunt hadsomethinglike that... not as severe. She got it from gardening without usig gloves. It went a way with meds.Y R my cuticles super thick; finger nails have vertical ridges; thumbnails have horizontal bumps %26amp; bubbles?
    Sounds like it could be a deficiency or maybe a side effect from medication.








    Also, do you ever get your nails done, with acrylics or other materials? I would do my nails with press ons and acrylics every week and I started to get dips and ridges in my nails.
    Hi


    i have the exact same thing...


    let me guess, your cuticles aren't only thick, but extremely dry as well? so dry they crack sometimes and you have to trim them off?





    I've always been told its just my eczema and it's actually under the nail in the nailbed. I know that ridges in the nails can mean a deficiency - i think either zinc or keratin from orange vegetables like carrots and red/orange peppers.





    i have not yet found a way to get rid of it.


    I also take a few corticosteroids for asthma/allergies...i've been on corticosteroids for as long as i can remember, and my nails have also been the way they are as long as i can remember.





    So, i don't really have an answer for why it's happening...but if you have eczema/psoriasis and/or you're on corticosteroids, maybe that's it.





    What i do to hide it is just file and buff my nails. Right on the bed of the nail. The trick is not filing too much because, like you said, there are thin spots.





    sometimes when the thin spots get really bad i get press on nails. I only put glue around the edges of the nail so that i dont run the risk of breaking the thin spot. That at least offers protection because they get VERY sensetive to the touch.





    if you find any similarities in my story, let me know. I've been trying to figure this one out too, and doctors have been no help at all.

    What shall I do with my finger nails?

    I love having long (ish!) nails, but I can never get them all equal length because they keep breaking. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Also, I love it when they're long but I hate it when they look square, and I find it really hard to shape them... any tips?? Even more... I want something on my nails to make them look nice but not artificial (like defo not bright colours), I like french manicure but I find it really hard to do... HELP!!What shall I do with my finger nails?
    get them don for one thele make them even and tell them how to shaape them, also having them painted prevents breakage.

  • Do vietnamese like usually have long finger nails?

    was in a place for nails and was offered very happily by the women there to let them do a manicure on me, so I accepted (something new) and wondered if it was a joke for them (kind of like, put you in something slightly umcomfortable and watch and laugh) or do they genuinely like men with better looking nails?Do vietnamese like usually have long finger nails?
    Long fingernails on men is kind of a status symbol in this culture (and many other Asian cultures)


    It implies that the man is well off financially and does not do physical or strenuous work with his hands. My father-in-law had a thumbnail that was an inch and a half long. It was his ';pride and Joy';.


    Vietnamese people take great pride in their appearance. My wife constantly hounds me because I dress for comfort not style. I do very physical work on our farm here and enjoy getting dirty. She is generally appalled at my appearance and makes me shower at least 4 times a day. LOL She also does my nails (fingers and toes) at least once a week.Do vietnamese like usually have long finger nails?
    Yes, beautiful long ones :)

    No, you eat the jello, or if you don't like to eat it, you can drink it while it's still warm. It works internally, not by putting your nails in them. Good luck!

    Unless you're drinking organic, unpasteurized milk, milk wont help as you typically absorb less than 30% of the calcium in it.





    This site is really good:


    http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nails/W鈥?/a>





    There's tips if you scroll down to the bottom.





    If you're not getting enough protein or Vitamin E it can contribute to it. Vitamin E applied topically will help moisturize whether or not it's caused by an E deficiency.





    ** If it's a Vitamin E deficiency you'll likely have dry brittle hair (if that's the case, increase your intake of green leafy vegetables, nuts and vegetable oils)**





    but it sounds like they're just super-dry. Follow the tips on the mayo clinic (moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!)
    I have the same problem except i'm 14. Well i read online that dipping your hands in warm water with lemon or body oil will get them longer and healthier because of the vitamins in those things. Other ways to achieve healthier nails is to eat right. Drink lots of milk and eat eggs, these are only some of the foods that can get your nails healthier. You can search it up online too.





    Hope this helped!
    First, cut them down as far as you can/need to so that there are no more chips (yes, they will be short at first but they will be healthier), then trim, file, and buff them once a week.
    clean, drink milk, and put clear on it. that is what the nail woman said and now my nail is tall as .....try it.
    clean them regularly with your longest nail after about 4 weeks it grows longer
    take vitamins... especially vitamin E
    My advice- either put lotion on your hands daily, or just wait.

    It's not something that helps, it literally stops you. It tastes so bad you can't bite your nails.





    Try it you will LOVE it :)How do I stop biting my finger nails?
    Start applying some vaseline to ur nails, which u don't like to consume in or the taste u don't like.*
    tryin chewing gum. or just put ur mind to it!! try n u knw u can do it.
    A lot of people wonder how they can stop biting their nails. There are a few tricks you can use to stop nail-biting.





    A. Unless you want to go the hypnosis route, which some people swear by, you do have a couple options other than sheer willpower. One is to apply the very disgusting (and therefore, highly successful) nail biting cream like Control It!), which you paint onto your nails. It tastes so bitter you won鈥檛 dare bite them. A new product on the market which doesn't taste any better, but is definitely worth trying is Jessica 'Nibble No More,' a no-nail-biting polish with bitter cactus extract as its secret ingredient ($5 at jessicacosmetics.com).





    Another option is to keep your nails painted. My friend Lisa swears a pricey manicure keeps her biting at bay %26amp; she suggests the brighter the color the better.





    Read more about Control It! at this handy Website we found: stopbitingnails.com
    i also have the same problem and im still not over it but something ive tried is to get someone your around a lot to slap your hand around everytime it happens but it doesnt quite help me. maybe it will for you but good luck anyway.. ill be reading your answers for suggestions lol!
    Apply neem oil or transparent nail polish
    I use to have that bad habit and cracking my fingers. One thing that made me stop was getting my nails done. It was too pretty to be bitten off. Good luck w/ that habit though.
    put a little tobasco under your nails. never tried it, but it might work. or just taste bad.
    Try putting hot sauce or vinegar on your fingernails. Or maybe you should try chewing gum.
    chew gum!


    actually, i'm kind of ';addicted'; to the ';biting motion'; in my mouth


    and when i dont have gum in my mouth, i either have food, or i'm biting my nails..


    soo its not really any better


    but i mean, it gets the saliva going


    and sugar free is good for your teeth.. i think?


    and plus if you chew gum it'll distract you from your nails, and gum with nails? you woulndt do it anyways.


    i suggest TRIDENT TROPICAL TWIST


    its the best.
    Either dip your fingers in Acetone or you can put some type of spicy chile so if you even try it you'll be instantly repulsed by the flavor. Good Luck!
    ask people around you to remind you whenever u bite yr nails.


    worked for a bad habit of mine.
    go to a salon and get a good manicure done.. once you've done tat apply nail enamel and their good look will obviously void u from bitin them... keep pampering your nails with regular manicure and they'll look dainty and not disastrous..
    A. Unless you want to go the hypnosis route, which some people swear by, you do have a couple options other than sheer willpower. One is to apply the very disgusting (and therefore, highly successful) nail biting cream like Control It!), which you paint onto your nails. It tastes so bitter you won鈥檛 dare bite them. A new product on the market which doesn't taste any better, but is definitely worth trying is Jessica 'Nibble No More,' a no-nail-biting polish with bitter cactus extract as its secret ingredient ($5 at jessicacosmetics.com).





    Another option is to keep your nails painted. My friend Lisa swears a pricey manicure keeps her biting at bay %26amp; she suggests the brighter the color the better.


    also have the same problem and im still not over it but something ive tried is to get someone your around a lot to slap your hand around everytime it happens but it doesnt quite help me. maybe it will for you but good luck anyway.. ill be reading your answers for suggestions .....


    Either dip your fingers in Acetone or you can put some type of spicy chile so if you even try it you'll be instantly repulsed by the flavor....tryin chewing gum. or just put ur mind to it!! try n u knw u can do it......
    get acrylics it helped me stop biting and my nails are long and beatiful.

    Her palms bleed sometimes her finger nails go so far in ?

    Alright one of my best friends, she gets these HORRIBLE nightmares, sometimes she doesn't remember what they where she Just knows they scared her shitless, other times she remembers %26amp; its from past child hood experiences. She kicks %26amp; flails around %26amp; makes weird noises, half the time she ends up hurting herself like smacking her arms off of bed side tables or so on %26amp; gets bruises, it doesn't usually stop her sleeping, nor does she dread sleeping to much, she goes to bed willingly , also sometimes during these she shoves her finger nails so far into her palm that it either leaves marks , bruises, scratches, or makes them bleed. How does she manage that ? I myself tried (like the jackas s I am) to see how she could possibly do that, I pushed as hard as I possibly could %26amp; left deep marks but they faded rather quickly. How does she manage this ? Also , I have never had a real nightmare in my life so can someone fill me in about them , how in the world she started getting them, it hasn't gone on forever but it started abruptly %26amp; wont stop, what causes you to have nightmares this bad? How can I help her ? Thank you!


    P.s.: waking her up does nothing, if you wake her up first off shes pissed at you, but then when she goes to sleep once again, they come back.Her palms bleed sometimes her finger nails go so far in ?
    Give her a manicure and trim down and smooth out her nails. Maybe an over the counter sleep aid or Benedryl will help her sleep more peacefully?

    How to get rid of a scratch mark left from a finger nail from a few years ago?

    Hey Girls Out There With Finger Nails????????

    well, i bite my nails a lot when i get nervous and bored and right now i have my nails in a really bad shape. so i was wondering if i could buy fake nails to glue on, just the little plain ones and only put the glue on the top of my nails so it doesn't get in the way of me growing my nails while i cover them up for a while becasue they look bad.


    i don't think a nail place will help with my problems so i just wanted to know if doing this was okay while my nails grow?


    will they even grow even though i will be covering them up, i thought they would if i just use a little glue?


    thank you for your help!!!!!!!!!!!Hey Girls Out There With Finger Nails????????
    You're nails will keep growing no matter how much glue you put on!!





    The nails will keep growing and they will show at the bottom of the false nails!!





    Does that make sense?Hey Girls Out There With Finger Nails????????
    firstly, get the stuff to put on your nails to STOP biting them.


    dont go to a nail salon cos acrylic nails will ruin them - i had fake nails for about 6 months and it took a year for them to become strong again.





    just put the stuff on your nails to stop you from biting and let it grow naturally, then go to a nail salon to get it shaped and/or a manicure
    There's a polish called Jessica ';Nibble no more'; which could help.


    You just apply it like you usually would with nail varnish, and it has an unpleasant taste/smell, so it'll stop you from biting every time you go near your nails! Just research the web for ';Nail biting solutions'; if this doesn't work.





    Hope i helped,


    ~ Stephanie. x
    fake nails wont stop your nails from growing (no matter how much glue you use)... but after your nails start to grow the fake nails wont cover the whole nail and you will see more of the nail by the cuticle... when u take the fake nails off it may ruin your nails underneath though because you have to rip them off





    its kinda like asking if hair dye will stop your hair from growing =P
    i have the same promblem with you too, but i go get them done at nail store and get the fake nails on, i cant really bite on the fake nails cuzz therer too hard, and they will grow out faster, soo my advice is just go get them done at some nail store, it will grow out faster i think cuzz my nail grew out in 2 weeks
    okay well you can do this but it will make them grow slower. What i would do is get them done or just put nail polish on them and then wait for them to grow out. or even better just chew on a straw and dont do anything to your nail and they will be fine in a month. XD
    uhmm darling they will not ggrow very much because they are covered and not getting air fake nails arent very good i hope i helped and please take my advice this happend to be before
    wow


    u chew them when u get nerbous wow


    ok well let me see


    yeah they grow


    well the ones i use


    but i don't do it a lot because mine grow a lot and well i odn't need to
    nail place will help they can put on a full set and they are hard you will not chew
    Yes, I do have finger nails thanks for asking(:
    I tried this and I bit them off...they feel wierd and are even more tempting to bite....just have willpower...I did....

  • When you cut off your finger nails?

    when you cut off your finger nails there is a certain point that you must not go over where your finger looks sort of pink on the outside, i just wanna know could i go past this point or do i have to stop, like is the finger nail heavily glued to your finger or does it serve as your skin at that point covering that part of your finger and can i cut some of it off?When you cut off your finger nails?
    Why would you want to cut it that far? If you do, you'll be sorry for several days.





    The skin is fused to the nail there, where the nail looks pink. That skin is never exposed and does not have the defensive layers that you see all over the rest of your body, it has the nail instead. If you try to separate the nail from the skin, you'll have bleeding, and very intense pain.





    That area will continue to be extremely tender and painful until the nail grows back over it, which will take some time.When you cut off your finger nails?
    Well first of all cutting your nail that short is not healthy because if you cut off the skin or the pink part, it could get an infection because alot of dirt gets underneath the nail. But if the nail is already coming off, then if you can handle the pain, (trust me it hurts when you have to cut off the nail so close!!) you can cut it off. But not so you chopped half your nail off. If you have any problems then you could probably go see a doctor or whatever and he could do something about it.
    well there is a way but why would you want to do that it isnt that painful but it hurts a little there if a little stick and you get it in any kind of manicure set it is to clean under your nails you take it you clean your nail but you keep going back and forth while your doing that just keep pushing down see this seperates your skin from the nail see you nail is normaly white like on top but it sticks to your skin when you are born so it makes iit a pink color but when you seperate the skin it be comes white now this deosnt hurt but it will be sore when you are done


    hope this helps

    maybe she just needs to tell some1 about these childhood experiences or maybe she needs to tie herself down maybe she has some mental disease tell her to talk to her docterSometimes her palms bleed her finger nails go so far in ?
    My step dad had that. He broke a window screen trying to escape from some beast. And when he was younger he climbed to the top of an apartment building butt-naked trying to get away from something. He's had dreams with razor-toothed people eating his toes and some night I've woken up to him screaming. Have her take some B1 vitamins and a calcium/magnesium blend before she goes to bed. I know I rarely got nightmares when I took them. You can get B1 in most vitamin aisles and you can search calmag up on the internet. It does wonders and it's natural, not a whole bunch of mind altering drugs.
    Sounds scary. Maybe she should go to the doctor. If she's fine with it, then there's not a lot that you can do personally to help her.

    How to look after finger nails which I used to bite but don't really grow back?!?

    I used to bite my finger nails all the time but now I have promised my self that I won't. I got a manacure for a friedns b'day party and they ladies couldnt really cut them down at all but now eventhough I want to grow them, they don't seem to be coming back. When they do grow back though, and get long, the top of the nail tends to bend back and detatch itself from the rest of the nail.





    Does anyone have any tips for keeping my nails nice-looking and reletively long, strong and healthy? Any links would be great too.How to look after finger nails which I used to bite but don't really grow back?!?
    theres nail lengthener that goes on like normal nail polish in a clear coat that is healthy for them that you can find at beauty stores but if you dont have time or money to buy that then just off everything on your nails currently and moisturize the tips to the root of the nail with a lotion and dont bite!!!!


    also if you still bite either though their trying to grow back put on some really bad smelling/tasting stuff on your nails so you wont want to bite them or even bring them close to your mouth :)How to look after finger nails which I used to bite but don't really grow back?!?
    It is an idea to go to a Nail Technician (not the cheap nail bars) and have either Acrylics or Gel Nails put on, it seems as though you may have damaged your nail beds, and this will continue to happen until they repair themselves, so I would suggest the Acrylics, and continue to get them filled every 2/3 weeks, they also condition your nails with special oils at the end of the treatment, and will give you advice.


    Good Luck :-)
    if you go to your local beauty supply store there should be plenty of cremes and nail polishes designed to strengthen your nails. in my experience, they've all worked pretty well that I've tried. :)

    Used to bite my finger nails.........?

    Its been almost 4 months now and I think its so awesome that I now have nails. It took me almost 30 years to break my habit but I did it. My only problem now is every nail is kicking butt. They are strong and long. But for some reason my index finger nails and my thumb nails just will not grow. Is it possible that I damaged them so much that now they wont grow?


    Also you know that little white half of a moon shape thing thats above your cuticle but in your nail, I only have see that on my thumbs??? What are those things and am I supposed to see it on each nail???Used to bite my finger nails.........?
    is it possible for smoking to do damageUsed to bite my finger nails.........?
    the white half moon thing might be coz u dont take in enuff milk or dairy products. get a manicure, treat ur hands royal! go girl!


    they will grow but take time. as u get older everything in ur body slows down coz of metabolism rate.

    ~Kaitlin~
    ok well i have the same problem...but im actually quitting...if you go to like wal*mart they have this stuff called stop the bite...its clear nail polish, but it tastes really bad so when u put it on u wont chew ur nails...good luck!
    Sometimes I bite my nails too. If you catch yourself doing it, chew some gum or something to keep your hands out of your mouth.
    sometimes it just takes time, sometimes you need a reward, and sometimes its a nervous habit that goes away once you're out of a certain environment. For my friend and I, it was a nervous habit, and now that we're getting away from our parents (she finally got away from her b***h of a mother), we're finally relaxing and don't have the need for biting our nails anymore.
    wear gloves!
    Tell yourself that bacteria can exist under your fingernails and if you bite them,it can make you sick. If that doesn't work,scratch your a** first. That should prevent you from biting your nails.
    if you dont like qarlic then rub some on them or put some stuff called stop the bite and you find it at any drug store good luck
    You don't need the special stop bitting polish. All you need is nail polish remover, it tastes just as bad. Also, I used to bite my nails but I started clipping them on a regular basis so now I can't bite them because they're always trimed.
    i used to bite my nails ALL of the time...i started drinking alot of milk and then they got stronger. i couldnt bite my nails anymore cuz it hurt my teeth.

  • Need to sort my finger nails out!?

    Hi, Ive come to realise that my thumb nails are in a bit of a state. I bite my nails often and the nail on the thumb is getting quite flat (rather than rounded like a normal nail) and has some ridges down it. My question is: Are there any particular methods to return my nails to a normal shape and form? Obviously its a good idea to start by not biting them, but Ive done that before and it doesn't seem to rectify the bad nail???





    Help!


    Thank you.





    Adam.Need to sort my finger nails out!?
    i bite my nails and they dont do that.


    maybe you're doing something else.


    get acrylics (if you're a girl)


    it will help you not bite them.Need to sort my finger nails out!?
    Well I use to bite my nails too, and what I would do is cut it back into it's normal shape with a pair of nail clippers. But you should really stop, your nails have dirt under it and that can cause diseases/infections once your nails enters your mouth.

    How to cure splitting finger nails?

    So, I used to be a cronic nail biter. A few years ago I started having jell tips put on and now, having kicked the biting habit, grow my nails naturally. My problem is about five of my fingernails split at the ends (the top layer kinda chips off and peels). Is there any way to correct this?





    When it happens, I either snip the nail to below the split or file the top down and put some clear coat on but it always happens again! Do you know of any nail streghtening product on the market that works? I have even been told to eat more jello - is there any truth to that?How to cure splitting finger nails?
    here:








    -drink ore milk


    -buy one of these nail hardening or extra calcium nail polishes


    -use it everyweek.. or so, it can be applied under another polish, and its usually transparent when it dries. Slightly tinted ones are sold too


    - after every bath dip your nails into body butter, and massage the figer tips and nails


    -everytime a nail starts splitting cut it straight off,, dont let it wait. If right now this happens often, carry your manicure tools around with you... soon this will stop if you cut it off as soon as possible...


    -get a proper manicure for all fingers. i mean ALL... cut of like.. half a milimeter at least.. even on healthy ones.. after every bath or shower..How to cure splitting finger nails?
    well there is this nail strengthening top coat.... i know that your thinking i already tried top coats. But i used to have the exact same problem as you and i but i bought this product that has garlic in it. i dont remember what it was called but all of them work just as long as they have garlic in it!
    Yes jello has protein in it and is good. Also make sure you get enough calcium in your diet and take vitamins.
    To keep my nails from splitting I use Talika Nail regenerator serum!!!! Works great!!!!

    Why do we have finger nails and why do we have ulcer?

    finger nails, are an age old part of our bodies that helped back when we were hunters and gatherers.. we dug in the dirt to get roots etc and clawed our way around life, ripped and tore meat etc...


    ulcers? we dont all have them.. maybe you do if you are stressed, but thats not a common thing...Why do we have finger nails and why do we have ulcer?
    so we can pick things upWhy do we have finger nails and why do we have ulcer?
    ever try squeezing zits without finger nails? that would surely give you ulcers
    Not all people get ulcers. Ulcers can be caused by stress, medication, bacteria. My husband has had 2 bouts with bleeding ulcers. The first one from picking up the bacteria while in Mexico for his old job, and the 2nd time because his idiot doctor, after knowing that he almost died from his 1st ulcer, told him that he could take Ibuprofen, which is well known to cause problems in people with ulcers.
    We have nails basically to protect the tips of the toes and fingers and fingernails help us pick up small objects and scratch ourselves. As for ulcers here are some of the following causes: bacterial infection, viral infection, fungal infection, primary and secondary cancer, venous stasis, arterial insufficiency, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, amyloidosis, loss of mobility, hypertension, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). Hope this helps!!!
    finger nail not only protect the nail bed which lies directly beneath, it has lots of nerve endings, and would be pain-full if we do not have a keratinised nail on top, it is made of dead hardened skin cells, made of mostly proteins. they make it easier to pick up small items.


    as for ulcer what type do you mean?


    we are not born with ulcer, it develops through stress, incorrect diet, or in your mouth from biting it, or can be a sign of mouth cancer.

    Is it true that to treat a chigger bite you have to put finger nail polish on it to suffocate the chigger that

    is supposedly still in you skin? Or is that just an old wives tail?Is it true that to treat a chigger bite you have to put finger nail polish on it to suffocate the chigger that
    It's a myth. Get some ChiggerX and the afflicted area will quit bothering you.





    Here's some more proof if you aren't convinced.





    Myths about chiggers are widespread. Many believe chiggers are some type of bug. Folklore tells us they burrow under our skin and die, that they drink our blood and that they can best be killed by suffocation with nail polish or bathing with bleach, alcohol, turpentine or salt water. Surprisingly, all these popular facts are just plain wrong.Is it true that to treat a chigger bite you have to put finger nail polish on it to suffocate the chigger that
    The chigger bite is the pest under your skin. Yes, this is correct. There are OTC products that do the same, but they may cost more. I would recommend using clear polish. Good Luck!
    Well,my daughter had chiggers about 3 weeks ago and that's the only way we could get rid of them all.

    Is it normal for nail polish to discolor finger nails?

    I'm totally in love with my home French manicure kit, and kept the last French manicure nail polish on for about 2 weeks. I took it off today, and noticed that some of my nails were discolored a yellow-ish color. Is this normal, or should I be making an appointment with my doctor? Is it safe to put more polish on?Is it normal for nail polish to discolor finger nails?
    If you keep the polish on for a while it's normal. The yellowing is caused by some dyes in it. You can soak them in lemon juice for about 5 minutes but be careful if you have cuts. When you paint your nails again put on a base coat of clear polish to protect your nails from the dye.Is it normal for nail polish to discolor finger nails?
    yeah you should go to a doctor and get something to treat it
    yeah it happens to me often :P jsut get some sally hansen nail strengthner polih remover and paint again!
    Yes it is normal and common even more so with darker colors but light colors can do the same. Try soaking your nails in lemon juice it helps take the yellow stain off!!!
    dont make an appointment wiv your doctor. you dont need to.


    you need to wear the special undercoat before yu put nail polish on to prevent staining....yes its safe to put more on...and make sure the manicure kit isn't cheap..but good quality..
    that's not normal..
    its totally normal it will wear off by it self .jus chill no worries
    noo


    i would def loosen on the nail polish girll





    it just means that uve put too much nail polish on. people who havent like everr put it have like pink nails -- very natural.





    and now what ur gonna hav to do is put on nail polish all the time so people wont see the disgusting yellow color.

    Would you rather stick nails up ur Finger nails than have Liverpool Win the EPL?

    hahahaha....I am just curious to know just how much some people are hating on Liverpool's position.





    They fear so much that Liverpool will actually win the league this year they cant and wont dare utter the words fearing it may actually be true.





    So they would rather wish bad on themselves rather than Liverpool triumphing.





    HOW SAD!!!!Would you rather stick nails up ur Finger nails than have Liverpool Win the EPL?
    brilliant question.





    liverpool for the leagueWould you rather stick nails up ur Finger nails than have Liverpool Win the EPL?
    there you go fueling the hate again and you can't understand why...





    this is SAD, really. I guess there's no hope for the deluded.








    ahahahaha you have me so wrong on being a Man Utd fan. And chasing is something Liverpool have been doing in recent years, and will be back at it in a few weeks.
    No actually it is sad that you posted this. And by the way you will finish third behind Chelsea and Man Utd as usual. It's just lucky that Arsenal are behind the pace otherwise it would have been 4th as per the norm..
    yeh I couldnt bear to see those scousers who play boring football win the league. I don't think they'll do it anyway. 18yrs is too long an absence, it will be 19 years after this season.


    A quality team like Man U or Chelsea will win it
    hang on to your nails





    Liverpool will finish where they normally do well behind the winners





    Liverpool just suck
    liverpool are the best team in the world, and we're going to win the title this season so everyone better get used to it
    Id rather pool win it than United or le **** thats for sure.
    I don't dislike Liverpool, they are a strong team.


    But i'd rather have tottenham win.
    I would definatly do that!
    And you wonder why other fans hate Liverpool being top...
    I really do think that they might do it this time :)


    Go Liverpool ;)

    Yes it will grow back, just like they do when cut or chewed. But may take some time, keep it covered up in the mean time to stop germs getting in.
    yes it will grow back .it will take a while to grow back
    yeh fingernails often fall off if you hit it with a hammer or jam it in a door or something but it will grow back.
    one of my friend's completely ripped out his finger nail and it grew back, even though it stank of rotting flech for god knows how long





    give it a few weeks, if it doesnt start to grow back, go to the doctors to see if they can do anything

    Why did some of my finger nails turn completely (or almost) white right after taking off acrylic nails?

    For the first time about 8 months ago, I got my nails done professionally (acrylic tips). I ripped them off a little after a month with no chemicals. They were very weak and thin for a while and then they started to hurt like a bruise and then eventually some of the nails turned all white and some half way. They are very tender to the touch and have been this way for a while. Is this a deficiency or did I do this? What can I do to get my nails back to normal?Why did some of my finger nails turn completely (or almost) white right after taking off acrylic nails?
    Generally, nails become white due to deficiency of calcium. I think you should consult your physician, if this is the case. If indeed calcium is your problem, you should consider diet with high calcium like milk, vegetables or supplements. For ladies it is important to take adequate amount of calcium as it can lead to osteoporosis:

    I'm not sure what this might be as I'm no doctor, but have you tried going to your local pharmacy and getting some nail strengthening moisturizer? Or something similar that you put on like nail varnish/polish? I use a moisturizer sometimes, I think it's by skin so sensitive or skin so soft or something like that, the logo has 3 'S's on and it's pink, it says for hands and nails/. Maybe you could try that. Or if the problem persists just make a doctors appointment, they should be able to tell you what's wrong and prescribe something good =)


    Good Luck =)

    How to grow finger nails?

    I don't like my nails very much, and wish they looked nicer


    I'm not quite sure how to explain what i want to know, but I will try my best haha


    My nails stop being attached to the skin a long way before the end of my finger, eg: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2356/2486220872_2d55754f52_o.jpg


    But, I would like them to be more like this: http://www.prevention.com/pvnstatic-assets/images/298x232_article_size/beauty/298x232_LB_nails_nailingit_ST.jpg





    See how the nail is joined up a bit closer to the tip of the finger?


    I was wondering if there is actually anything i can do to change that


    Someone told me it can be with the way you cut your nails but I wasn't sure if it was true or not


    Hope you understand what I mean, any help will be great thanksHow to grow finger nails?
    i'm not totally sure how to answer your question exactly..


    but as for just growing nails in general.. try taking prenatal vitamins.. the ones pregnant women take.. they help your nails to grow quickly and nicely..


    it worked for me.. and you can get a bottle for under five dollars at walmart..


    you could also try those various nail growing polishes and junk.. but i think the vitamins would help more..


    i hope this helps ya out..How to grow finger nails?
    Let them grow, don't clip then so short and don't bite them. Eat jello, it makes them stronger. Also taking pre-natal vitamins can make your nails stronger. There are nail polishes that claim to make them grow faster, but I've never found them to work. So just leave them alone and let them grow as long as you want. But be sure once they start chipping or something to file them or trim them just a tiny bit, kind of like what you do with hair once you start getting split ends.
    the nails in the first picture look very thick so i would assume they resembled the thickness of your own nails so i won't recommend taking a vitamin e supplement. however, applying a clear coat can protect your nails from the environment and sort of baby them so they have a better chance to grow, also filing the skin around the nail down helps.
    the only thing u need to do is - ';TAKE CARE OF IT ';

    All of my finger nails are white since childhood.What does it mean?

    Well, I was wondering why my finger nails look white instead of pinkish white because I don't know anyone who has this type of finger nail,neither my sister and my brother had this kind of finger nails.I didn't put any chemicals or coloration to my finger nails and I've already had it since childhood.So what does it mean? is it a sickness or what?All of my finger nails are white since childhood.What does it mean?
    No, it's not a lack of calcium. White fingernails can indicate that you have anemia, liver or kidney problems. Have you ever been checked for these? Being anemic doesn't always mean you look sickly or anything either. A perfectly healthy looking person can be anemic and never know it until they need blood tests done for some other reason. You really need to get a full ';work-up'; by a doc to make sure there's no underlying problem going on.All of my finger nails are white since childhood.What does it mean?
    Do you bite your nails? I heard that biting your nails can make your nails turn white over time. I don't know if that's true, but you should look it up. Ask your parents if anyone else in the family has the same problem. Who knows, it could just be a hereditary condition. If it really bothers you that much, go see a dermatologist.
    lack of calcium, n dont deny it
    you might have a lack of calcium ( Ca)

    Why do my finger nails curve?

    Not all of them do it, but I have a couple of finger nails that curve when they grow out. Like, as they grow, instead of growing out like my other nails, they curve around the tip of my finger. I cant even let them grow more than about 1/16th of an inch because thats when it gets very noticable that they are curving around the tip of my finger, and if they get much longer than that, like at about 1/8th inch, they are well curved over the tip of my finger, and any longer than that gets in my way.





    My nails are more or less strong and healthy, and its only like 2 nails that do it really bad, and then 1 that does it a lil less, and the rest are normal. Its almost like they are growing uneven, because on one nail, half of it is curving over, and then a lil slice on the edge grows normal so it looks really weird.





    Any ideas?Why do my finger nails curve?
    Most of the time, what goes on with our nails, hair and skin tell us what's going on with the inside of our bodies. Nails will curve and be brittle when there are mineral deficiencies, especially B12.





    Curving nails can also signify heart, liver or respiratory problems, but I suspect it's more like mineral deficiency--that's the most common cause.Why do my finger nails curve?
    could be a vitamin deficiency. Mention it to your doc next time you go.
