Why do you need to cut dogs nails?

Like will it hurt the dog if you dont.Why do you need to cut dogs nails?
Yes it can.


If the dogs nails get too long, they can loop around causing great pain for the dog to walk with them like that, and they can eventually start growing back into the pad of the dog's paw.Why do you need to cut dogs nails?
Not only can they grow into their paws if left unchecked, they can also become brittle and split, revealing the quick and leaving an opening for infection.





If you aren't comfortable doing this, it only costs like $10 at PetsMart and you don't need an appointment, they accept walk-ins for that.





Also, a nice walk on the pavement every day is generally enough to file them down and keep them healthy too and clip less often, or with some dogs not at all.
Well I have had dogs that never needed their nails clipped since they were outside a lot their nails filed down naturally from walking on the concrete ETC. But most dogs, especially ones that are kept indoors most of the time, need nail trims because if you do not trim at least once a month, their nails would eventually curl around back into their toes resulting in an ingrown toenail, which is very painful. Besides the obvious health reasons it also looks better to have a neatly groomed dog or puppy!!
the nails will continue to grow.. at some point the dog cannot walk comfortably.. and then the nails begin to curl under the foot and can actually begin to curl upward and into the paw pad.





Nails need to be kept trimmed somehow.. either by trimming them.. or keeping the dog active on hard surfaces to wear the nails down.
If a dog does not wear his nails down on a hard surface the nails can grow around an pierce his pads or cause the toes to spread out painfully. As in this link, I don't cut, I use a Dremel when my dogs need a trim.
no but it'll hurt you. and when you do cut them don't cut them in quick or they'll bleed and it'll be painful for them.
It will hurt the dog if it gets too long (it may curl), it can scratch up your floors if they are wood, they can mess with the furniture, and it hurts major if they scratch you when having long nails!
when their nails are long, they may also snag on things and sometimes rip the nail right off.
because long sharp nails dont feel good against your skin. and you dont have to cut them if your dog take very long wals every day.

Ok alot of people will misunderstand you with this question and try to give you a product for weak nails to help them strengthen, I believe your asking for something that will help your nails grow longer fast than normal growth if so than


Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator works the best! it work like 20x better than those chinese calcium polishes you see at the beauty shop. Trust this is what you want heres the description:





Trick your nail into growing faster! The method for guaranteeing that 录 inch nail growth is simple! Garlic extract stimulates the receptors in the nail matrix (thats what your cuticles are there to protect!), and in response, the nail matrix makes more proteins. This new protein pushes the older protein out of the matrix, which creates keratin, which is what makes up the nail. The whole process naturally and safely convinces your nail to grow! With sulfur amino acids and hydrolyzed proteins, this clever formula strengthens the nail by bonding to it and creating an extra layer of nail to help prevent peeling. This bonding also protects the new nail that is produced by the garlic extract! Vitamins A, C %26amp; E all maintain the pH and moisture balance of the nail, keeping it flexible and preventing cracking. Apply as the base coat, and then once every two days over an existing manicure. Click on Items below for more details.


Heres the link to purchase it but you should be able to find it at Target, Walmart, or a Upscale Nail salon.

How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?

i have a guinea pig and his nails are really long and starting to curl. i want to cut them, but i'm scared i might hurt him by cutting his quick. same with my dog. how do i cut them properly?How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?
there are small pet nail clippers (see below for website) that can give ur pig the healthiest nails. for ur guinea pig, make the pig comfortable on ur lap (and if u can hand feed him) give him some timothy hay or veggie to munch on. lift his front paw away from his body, letting go if he flinches. carefully slide the clipper onto the nail, making sure that you are not cutting anywhere close to his ';shoulder'; if you see white (after clipping) then u are OK. if there is pink and blood, stop clipping immeditally. do this for all nails. if ur pig allows, flip him over on his back, this makes its easier to reach the nails. sorry idk how to cut dog nails, but the website teaches u. good luck and hope this helps.How do i cut my guinea pigs nails without hurting him?
If your piggie has light coloured nails, its not a hard job. If they are black, it is more difficult, especially for a first time piggie owner cutting nails for the first time.





Assuming your piggie has light coloured nails, use the ';Heather's Handy Pig Hold'; at the bottom of this article. Using human toenail clippers, clip the nail just in front of the quick. You will be able to see it through the nail. It is red/pink.


http://www.guinealynx.info/nails.html





If you accidentally cut too short and he starts bleeding, don't panic. Use flour or baking soda as a quick fix. Better, is to go to the pet store beforehand and purchase some Styptic powder to stop bleeding. Its wise to have this on hand and it lasts quite a while since piggie nails aren't clipped but once per month.





If your piggie has dark or black coloured nails, you can just trim the tips, cutting just a tiny bit further each time you clip. If you're just too nervous to do this, call your vets office %26amp; ask if the tech can help you. Many times, the vets office will charge little to nothing to clip a piggies nails, but call first to make sure.
I was actually able to hold my male guinea pig with one hand and cut his nails with my other. I was surprised it worked out, but he is very chubby and lazy so he didn't mind being held against me. My female on the other hand wouldn't go for that so whenever she stands up against her cage and her nails stick through the bars I cut them, it's a pretty stupid way to do it but it worked lol. If you're not able to do it yourself you can bring him to a vet. I may decide to bring my pigs to a vet from now on, it's less stressful.
You'll need two people and, ideally, nail clippers specific to rodents for this. You need someone to hold your guinea pig while you cut the nail - it's more likely you'll hurt him if he's squirming around. Cut very little of the nail just to be careful.





Good luck.
use the pedicure its kinda like a drill but it files the nail with out breaking or cracking it.
VET ITS THE SAFEST WAY

  • How do you take of thick fake nails?

    i tried doing my own nails and the arcyl got on the back of the nail. so it ist really thick.How do you take of thick fake nails?
    They have to be melted off with acetone. It takes a long time and you have to work it with an orange wood stick. It is best to go to a professional. A professional might have an ultrasonic soaker that will minimize the time you have to be exposed to the acetone. Or they might have these little finger caps that soak your fingertips only.


    Be careful, however. Some salons do not practice safe removal and I have heard of people having had the acrylics ripped from the nail at places like this. One woman had part of her natural nail ripped off the nail bed like this. In the center. So go to a place that is not into cheap shortcuts.How do you take of thick fake nails?
    You have to soak them in acetone. When they start to get soft your can lift them off. Be careful not to pull your real nail off with it.
    I usually bite mine off too
    well, if you must do it at home the best thing to do is acetone. the bet is just cosmetic acetone, and not just acetone nail polish remover.


    honestly, your best bet would be too go to the nail salon and have them remove it. they can get them off the best w/o destroying as much of your nails.


    i mean, your nails underneat are going to be damaged, but it will be a little less than if you do it at home and tear and rip and melt and stuff.
    acetone polish remover
    If you want to take them completely off, soak them in acetone (about $1 a bottle from Wal-mart) and slowly and carefully peel them off. Don't rip them off, it could destroy your nail. If you just want the acrylic off the back of the nail, take a cotton swab with acetone on it and let it soak on just the back for a few minutes and scrape it off with a toothpick.
    go to the shop and let them take them off i had the nails on they it hurt if you take them off our self
    NO. Trust me, go to the salon and pay the $10 and have them soak them off. You will completely screw up your natural nails if you don't.





    I'm female and I have them and I ripped of nails trying to soak them off myself.
    DONT U USE POLISE REMOVER OR TRY PAINT THINNER OR WAIT FOR MORE COMMENTS I DONT DO THE FAKE NAIL THING THEY WOULD GET IN MY WAY


    HAVE A GREAT DAY
    SOAK YOUR HANDS IN WATER THE HOTTER THE BETTER
    you can use nail polish remover like everyone else said to do. it works. just keep in mind that your real nails are going to look terrible until they completely grow out. be careful, too, when removing the fake nails - you can accidentally tear your own nail if you try too hard getting them off.
    r u saying ';take off fake nails';???????? go to the shop otherwise you'll hurt yourself
    dont pull them off it will make your real nails brittle just slowly take nail cutters and cut them paint your nails until your nails grow them off it will take about two weeks but you have to get used to having very short nails
    Go to the dentist. and you might want an x-ray.


    best of luck and much love xx
    soak the in acetone polish remover for a while then they should come off fairly easy good luck!!
    they actually sell a specific solution at drugstores that can remove them easily and effectively -- check in the Nailpolish remover section.





    Just make sure you know what the fake part is made of before you purchase the solvent -- example: acrylic -- and make sure the label on the solvent bottle describes that it removes that particular fake nail type.
    cut the ends off with clippers, if they are too thick for clippers, use scissors. soak them in acetone polish remover. don't pull them off, that will damage the nail.
    BITE THEM OFF
    I think you have to soak them in nail polish remover.





    They can be a PAIN to take off!! Ouch!
    acetone polish remover and them in it.
    polish remover
    Buy a bottle of cosmetic acetone and drop your finger in there for a while until the nail comes off.
    get them removed proffesionally so you dont ruin your real nail
    Soak them in soap and warm water for 30 minutes and then you remover they come off much easier.
    File them down and for the underside there is a special file that in cone shaped for that area. You can also use a small dremmel tool with small filing tips, its so much faster and looks way better. Good luck :) If you want them off permanently soak them in acetone
    u soak the nail in fingernail polish remover that contains acetone it makes it easier 2 come off

    who the hell are you to give evaluation on a proffessional footballer who plays in a national team and in the most succsesful club in england ?.players have ups and down like everyone else in life. but i guess it is your opinion and nothing more ....
    .You are the weirdo and an embarrassment to your family. You clearly know nothing about football but are sadly entitled to your opinion
    ok
    Liverpool looked ordinary but that was hardly his fault.
    Stick to brushing streets football management must be a mystery to you.
    Weird thing to say considering his international and domestic record!! He's not the type of player I do like and in front of goal his heading ability is pretty poor, but he is one of the best players I've ever seen at holding the ball up or flicking it down to someone else (via head or foot). Try actually 'watching' him play next time and ignore the tinted specs you're wearing - then people may begin to listen to what you have to say!!
    All i can say is he's very very tall.And yeah i agree but then i would I'm a life long Chelsea fan!!

    Can you trim a rabbits nails with regular nail clippers?

    Yes, they can be used safely, although it's a little awkward. Be sure not to cut into the quick of the nail (darkish coloration at the base) or it'll cause bleeding.

    Can you trim a rabbits nails with regular nail clippers?
    Re donellew: Many rabbit experts have told me that regular clippers are fine, and indeed, I've never had any problems with them at all (and it doesn't make any difference to the rabbits). (continued...)

    Report Abuse



    True, bunny clippers are easier and more efficient--and a little less likely to cut the 'quick'--but in a pinch, regular ones are fine =).

    Report Abuse



    You can %26amp; I have, but I eventually picked up a pair of nailclippers designed to be used on cats. The handles are like scissors, but the ';blades'; have a round notch cut out which fits around the nail. I definetly prefer 'em to regular nail clippers %26amp; they just cost a few dollars.
    Yes you can definitely use a regular pair of nail clippers. We find that toe nail clippers which are a little larger tend to work a little better. They seem to cut a little more clean than the regular clippers.
    yeah...but always make sure that when trimming the nails of any animal, make sure that you do not trim to close to the foot, as claws of most animals have a vein (called the quick, and is quite visible when looking at the claw, it looks like a darkish area inside the nail.) inside it for about a quarter of the length of the nails itslef....and cutting this may result in dangerous levels of blood loss...the best thing to do is to have some flour or other agent that will cake to the wound, this will actually stop the bleeding quite quickly.


    any clippers can be used to trim the claws back, just be careful how much you cut off and you n your bunny should be fine..its usually good to have one person hold the animal while the other person clips. this way no one will get injured including th bunny

    What should i do to make my nails hard?

    i have very soft nails and they are always breaking, which coz a lot of pain sometimes.What should i do to make my nails hard?
    Tips for making your nails more resilient:





    Stop using a nail clipper and only use a nail file to shape and shorten them. Protect nails with thicker moisturizers.





    Nail clippers can cause the layers of the nail to separate and filing is the best way to go.





    Use Revlon's disposable files made for weak nails. File in one direction only. Start on one side and file towards the middle, then go to the other side and file towards the middle of your nail. Smooth the nail into a squoval that mirrors you cuticle or the shape of the white part of your nail bed.





    Finish the edges of the nail with a hindo stone, a smooth ceramic/stone nail file or the finest grit nail file you can find. You want to make the edges really smooth.





    Also, avoid using metal nail files. I recommend using disposable nail files and changing them frequently. The fresher the grit, the less the drag which leads to tearing and peeling.





    Some people swear by glass nail files but they can shatter if dropped.





    I also use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize my nails and protect them from water since I wash my hands frequently.


    (ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex)





    Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.What should i do to make my nails hard?
    yup try sally hansen hard as nails, It's brilliant
    prenatal vitamins... i dont have kids but i take those vitamins because they have the perfect amount of everything girls need and overnight your nails will get stronger.. your hair will even grow faster.
    Me too ,so I drink lots of milk,put cheese on every thing,and you can get pure gelatin powder [ ask any bakery where it is ] and soak you're nails in a bowl of it in warm water and start eating jello alot.... you can even have fun with jello --it calls for one cup boiling water and one cold ---substitute the cup of cold water, with a cup of vodka, makes eating jello more fun and you strengthen your nails
    Sally Hansen makes a great top coat called ';Hard As Nails'; and it is available in practically any drug store and is only $4. Apply that daily, and remove it all with a strengthening polish remover once a week, and you should have strong beautiful nails in no time at all!
    give them viagra
    Use ';Sally Hansen Hard as nails'; It comes in clear, or clear with a tint of pink.
    . Go to the store and get yourself some HARD as NAILS by Sally Hansen, Its by the nail produces, Then STOP biting then, Give then time to heal and let them grow out. You may of damage the area down at the base of the cuticle.
    Eat a cube of jelly everyday and your nails will soon be a lot stronger
    Arouse them, works for guys!!!! he he he
    Eat jelly cubes .This was a doctors advice many years ago.
    Raw jelly,also there are products you can buy that are like acrylic substances that you put on like nail varnish(from Boots) which are really good.
    Same thing happened to me, The best you can do is to get an art nails. they make you hands look beautiful, and good quality ones will never break.





    You don't need spend much money to go to salon to do them, you can simplly get one from here and spend 20 minutes to stick it on:


    http://www.windflower-ying.co.uk/nails.h...





    Only Spend 20 minutes a week, and you can get different every week.
    clear nail hardening vanish and put lots of hand cream on
    when they start to grow, cut them slightly, so that they're never very long. After you keep doing this, every time they re-grow, they will start hardening. That will work, but if it's not enough, i suggest using a naill hardening product; i use sally hanson's [i think that's the name] nail hardening gloss. It also gives yours nails a bit of shine, so they look good aswell. Hope it works well xx
    i suggest you eat a lot of protein based food like meat, chiken, fish, milk and tofu. You should also drink a lot of water and consider taking vitamin suplements. Nails need protein to grow hard and fast. A hardening nail polish would not hurt either...and always carry a nail filer with you in the case that you need one... that's what I do...
    Some people say to put garlic on your nails and it will make them grow out strong.
    pls try fresh lemon , rub a piece of lemon on our nails twice a day and within a week u will see the difference
    this may sound silly but since your nails are bones drinking milk does harden them and so does painting them even if it just a clear nailpolish
    I find that rubbing hand cream onto them as well as your hands helps mine :o)
    Use a nail hardener and in the meantime take some good vitamin and mineral supplements. A MSM supplement is very good for hair and nails. Also use a hand cream for hand and nails. Check web site for ForMor International.
    OPI Nail Envy
    get plenty of nutrients!!!!!
    soak them in milk
    Hi, there are alot of nail hardeners out there, that you paint on liek nail varnish.


    I would also recommend using a hand and nail cream and if you wear nail varnish get one with a hardener or conditioner in and use a nail varnish remover with conditioners in to strengthen and harden the nail, Cutex ones are good. Also make sure you have enought vitamins in your body, as you might be lacking something. You can always got to the doctors and see what he/she recommends.

    How can I get acyrlic nails that are salon quaility at home? nail tech advice?

    Hi,





    I want to do acrylic nails at home, but I want them the EXACT way they do them at the salon. I have had them done once and loved them! Could anyone (or a nail tech) tell me the exact procedure they use at the salon (step by step) and what type of products are used? I have experience with acrylic nails, but want them to a higher standard:)


    thank-youHow can I get acyrlic nails that are salon quaility at home? nail tech advice?
    I've done my own at home for years to save money. I get the powder, primer, brush, files, sanding blocks and liquid at beauty supply. The primer is a mild acid that permits good adhesion, but does burn a cut. Flush with water and wash with soap to stop burning sensation if this happens.You need a brush to wet with liq. then pick up some powder and place on primed nail and lightly brush to shape. Takes practice. Also need emery board that's coarse for first smoothing then finer to get nail smoother, Then I use sanding blocks to get real smooth and polish.





    Go to a salon and watch They have a bad habit of not putting primer on whole nail when they do a fill and that causes fungus growth. That's another reason I do it myself. Also, I got fed up with them not shaping the end the way I want and seemed to laugh, speaking to each other in their language, when I tried to show them with a drawing. I've had the green fungus and the yellow one from them. A friend had all, all her nails fall off leaving a very thin natural nail layer left because of this fungus.How can I get acyrlic nails that are salon quaility at home? nail tech advice?

    Not only can they grow into their paws if left unchecked, they can also become brittle and split, revealing the quick and leaving an opening for infection.





    If you aren't comfortable doing this, it only costs like $10 at PetsMart and you don't need an appointment, they accept walk-ins for that.





    Also, a nice walk on the pavement every day is generally enough to file them down and keep them healthy too and clip less often, or with some dogs not at all.
    Well I have had dogs that never needed their nails clipped since they were outside a lot their nails filed down naturally from walking on the concrete ETC. But most dogs, especially ones that are kept indoors most of the time, need nail trims because if you do not trim at least once a month, their nails would eventually curl around back into their toes resulting in an ingrown toenail, which is very painful. Besides the obvious health reasons it also looks better to have a neatly groomed dog or puppy!!
    the nails will continue to grow.. at some point the dog cannot walk comfortably.. and then the nails begin to curl under the foot and can actually begin to curl upward and into the paw pad.





    Nails need to be kept trimmed somehow.. either by trimming them.. or keeping the dog active on hard surfaces to wear the nails down.
    If a dog does not wear his nails down on a hard surface the nails can grow around an pierce his pads or cause the toes to spread out painfully. As in this link, I don't cut, I use a Dremel when my dogs need a trim.
    no but it'll hurt you. and when you do cut them don't cut them in quick or they'll bleed and it'll be painful for them.
    It will hurt the dog if it gets too long (it may curl), it can scratch up your floors if they are wood, they can mess with the furniture, and it hurts major if they scratch you when having long nails!
    when their nails are long, they may also snag on things and sometimes rip the nail right off.
    because long sharp nails dont feel good against your skin. and you dont have to cut them if your dog take very long wals every day.

    Ok alot of people will misunderstand you with this question and try to give you a product for weak nails to help them strengthen, I believe your asking for something that will help your nails grow longer fast than normal growth if so than


    Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator works the best! it work like 20x better than those chinese calcium polishes you see at the beauty shop. Trust this is what you want heres the description:





    Trick your nail into growing faster! The method for guaranteeing that 录 inch nail growth is simple! Garlic extract stimulates the receptors in the nail matrix (thats what your cuticles are there to protect!), and in response, the nail matrix makes more proteins. This new protein pushes the older protein out of the matrix, which creates keratin, which is what makes up the nail. The whole process naturally and safely convinces your nail to grow! With sulfur amino acids and hydrolyzed proteins, this clever formula strengthens the nail by bonding to it and creating an extra layer of nail to help prevent peeling. This bonding also protects the new nail that is produced by the garlic extract! Vitamins A, C %26amp; E all maintain the pH and moisture balance of the nail, keeping it flexible and preventing cracking. Apply as the base coat, and then once every two days over an existing manicure. Click on Items below for more details.


    Heres the link to purchase it but you should be able to find it at Target, Walmart, or a Upscale Nail salon.

    How do I stop biting my nails?

    I've tried 3 different types of that nail liquid stuff that is supposed to taste disgusting but after a week of using them, the taste doesnt bother me (i know im weird lol)





    ive tried bandaiding a couple of my fingers at a time but that didnt work too...





    its really annoying me and id like to have nailsHow do I stop biting my nails?
    Okay


    so,


    ive chewed my nails since i was a baby


    i still do


    i am trying to stop


    i have not chewed them in a week


    :D


    Very bug thing in my life


    they are GROWING


    for ONCE


    and sadly, ive tried all those things youve tried


    but you know what i acually did


    i put NAILPOLISH on the nails.. a prety colour i like..


    and i wanted the nail polish to stay on


    sooo


    i didnt chew them, if i did, well i didnt really chew them


    and when the nail polish was wearing off, itd put more on


    CHEESY i know


    but it is WORKING


    just remind yourself not to chew them everytime you have an urge


    i chew on my nails, cause i like to chew on things when i zone out, or just whenever


    so i chew on gum


    and straws and stuff, so..


    try it..


    e-mail me back, hotmail?


    xx-rawrbaby@hotmail.comHow do I stop biting my nails?
    put on fake nails (not acrylic, cause they will only damage your nails) have them on for about a month (if they fall off, just glue them back on...)





    then, take off the fakes, and paint your nails with the glue.. keep them like this (touching up the ends every now and then) for another month..





    you wont want to bite with the glue/fakies, cause the pain of it ripping off will be to much.. and hopefully after 2 months you will no longer be having the urge..
    i usually bite my nails to and i hate it. but when i got a manicure i was less tempted b/c you can just think to yourself that you just spent all of the money and you dont want to bite it away. it prevented me, but sadly i am back to old habits.
    If you'll scratch your butt regularly......... you'll stop biting your nails.
    Keep your mouth busy. like have gum in your mouth regularly.
    My mum used to buy this nail polish stuff, it was clear and it tasted b!oody horrid ! Can't remember what it's called though. It's from UK
    Maybe you could try chilli.
    put fake nail on .. it will help you from stop biting.
    cut them really short

    How to Trim/cut a dogs nails?

    Breed: Pomeranian. Age: 8 months





    How do I trim his nails, I have a nail filer, and a nail trimmer. What else do I need? How do I cut them? How do i stop the bleeding if I cut it to short?





    Any Help Would Be appreciated! Thanks!How to Trim/cut a dogs nails?
    DO NOT CUT BELOW THE WHITEHow to Trim/cut a dogs nails?
    I'm assuming by nail trimmer you mean a type of ';clipper'; with two metal pieces that come together around the nail (sort of like human nail clippers). There isn't an exact way to ';do it'; but be sure if you plan on doing this yourself that you are able to control your dog from movement (this will result in you undoubtedly cutting too short/crooked) and that you can locate the ';quick';. This is very clear in light colored nails, black nails it will be harder to locate. If you cut that, the nail will bleed. You can buy what is called ';quick stop'; if you do cut it too close.





    Personal recommendation: I work at a vet's office, and after all the supplies you have to buy, the struggle with the dog, and the likliehood that you will cut their quick at least once every time you trim the nails, take your dog to his vet and they can cut them efficiently and properly in minutes for a small charge. Your groomer can also do it (most include it with their services).





    You can also buy what I personally use, called Pedi Paws, which files the nail so no risk of cutting and bleeding. Its available at walgreens for around $20.00





    Good luck!
    Unfortunately the PediPaws spooked my dog so I couldnt use it on him. But my dog is VERY BIG. So what I do is I hold him back a little on his leash while I walk him - and he likes to investigate stuff, so he PULLS hard. I just let him file his nails on the sidewalk while I walk him. Works pretty good. Concrete acts like sandpaper on his nails and files them down quickly.
    I got one of those new PETICURE things and it works great! I am too afraid of hurting my boys so I gave up trying. I used to have to keep a lit candle around when I did it in case it bled to stop the flow. Now I just use that thing. It's worth the money, trust me. Good luck!!! DOGS RULE!!!
    at the pet store you can but specific clippers designed for each sized animal and they come with a little booklet etc. But if you gotta do it tonight then just do it in stages and be quite gentle! gd luck

    How long can you leave acrylic nails on?

    I have had my nails on for a month now, and I get the feeling I'm going to have to have them taken off, and then reapplied. Is this normal? I'm not sure how they cut my natural nail that is almost as long as my fake. Also, the more my natural nail grows the higher up the acrylic nail gets so I would think they would at least have to reapply the tip. If anyone knows, let me know please. thanks.How long can you leave acrylic nails on?
    After you get your nails done you have to have them filled about every 2-3 weeks depending on how much your nails grow. My Mom is a nail Tech so I have nails on allways so trust me you really want to make sure the place you go is clean and everything is sanitary. Also make sure the person who does your nails isnt hurting your nail beds because that wouldnt be good either. Back to the question, when you go to have your anils filled it will be less expensive. Everything you described is super normal so dont freak lol. I hope I helped!How long can you leave acrylic nails on?
    If you want to keep them then you need to get a fill. If you cut the nails yourself you will crack the acrylic. If you don't plan on keeping them on then that won't matter.
    I' ve had mine on for about 10 years, my mom is also a nail tech,,,(she doesn't do mine) she lives to far,,,however, if your going to a good reputable place don't worry about it, they will know when to fill and when to replace, relax and get them filled according to how fast your nails grow, i know some of the girls say 2 weeks, I can go 3 and I've actually gone a month a lot and it didn't do anything,,,,,,where you go makes all the difference in the world,,,,,,good luck=)
    i have them and i get the filled every 2 weeks. a month is way too long to wait so you are probably gonna have to get them taken off and reapplied. get them done every 2 weeks and you wont have to get them taken off for a longg time.
    you can leave them of for aslong as they will stay on :)
    I have new ones put on every few months just because my actual nail starts peeling away from underneath.
    forever if you get them filled and repaired every 2 weeks

    How do i stop biting my nails??

    I used to have pretty finger nails i started bitting them about 2 months ago and can not stop even if i see a little i have 2 bite it off help pleaz!!How do i stop biting my nails??
    It just takes constant willpower to stop biting your nails. You need to be aware of each time that you feel like biting your nails, and figure out in that situation something else you can do instead. For example, each time that you feel like biting your nails, take out a nail file and just gently smooth the edge of the nail, and the urge will pass. Also, make sure you are using hand lotion after each time you wash your hands, which will keep your hands and nails moisturized. You should generally keep your nail edges filed smooth, so that there are no little bits that are tempting to start to bite, and there are no rough parts that will snag on things or break off. After a couple of days you will start to see the difference in the health of your nails, and then you just have to keep at it every day. After about 2 months of not biting your nails, that actually becomes your new habit, and you just have to stay on top of those situations where you want to go back to the comfort of the habit of biting and keep dealing with it.How do i stop biting my nails??
    I hear ya! Ive been bitting mine for years.. been trying to quit myself.. Ive tried the nail for growth and keeping my hands where I cant think about bitting.. other times i use a pair of clippers..but sometimes i clip to far..
    Put vinegar on them so it tastes bad
    Go to any drug store. They nail section will have something like this: it is a nail polish that tastes and smells bad. It is most of the time clear-colored so its perfect for anyone. Good Luck!
    Go to http://www.stopbitingnails.com/. . . I think this is the stuff my friends have used and they said it works really good! Hope I helped! KS
    have you tried the nail polish. im not sure what it's called but i hear it works. you can get it at wal-mart or any drug store. it's a clear nail polish i would ask someone that works in the department where it's at.
    Yeah, put something that tastes horrible on them, so you won't forget!
    keep a darker nail polish color on so you wont notice as easily when u see even a ';little';
    wear nailpolish so its nasty when you bite them. i think there may even be a special type of nailpolish that like REALLY makes them taste bad. try that (:
    go to super drug and buy the ME.ME.ME nail polish which aids nail growth and tastes so bad you have to get those fingers out your gob! it works, trust me :)
    here is what my mom used to do to me. apply bengay or some nasty cream on your fingers. or put bandaids around each finger.
    put nail polish remover or nasty tasting hand sanitizer on them so it will taste gross when you go to bite them

    You can wear fake nails for as long as you want but every month or so, you have to go back to the salon to get a refill in the places near your cuticles that your original nail is because it grew out. My mom said that if you don't have the refill, it will last for about one month. So I guess you're good. And if you have any problems with the nails, go back to the salon and ask them to fix it because it is cheaper than if you were to go to a different one.

    They will last however long you want them to last. However, I advise you to take them off after 2 weeks because fungus can grow in your nails if they're on too long.

    What color should i paint my nails? hair up or down?

What shirt should i ware. what color should i paint my fingernails. and should i have my hair up or down?What color should i paint my nails? hair up or down?
    definitely wear the green shirt. i would paint your nails deep purple, it is in right now, and i fell in love with the color the first time i put it on my nails! wear your hair down, but be prepared with an elastic to create an instant, cute updo incase it gets messy.What color should i paint my nails? hair up or down?
    paint ur nails white.. they look super cute!! trust me!


    most of the time i have them white..!
    Please don't wear a label across your chest, you're paying to advertise for them. Just go with your instincts, this is not life/death.
    pink nails are always cute, no matter which shirt you decide to wear. also, put your hair up because it's going to be hothothot!!!
    if you have brown or green eyes


    wear the green shirt


    paint your fingernails a pale pink or clear


    and if you think you look better with your hair up


    wear it like that
    ew..dont listen to Missy.





    wear the green Hollister shirt, paint your fingernails a flirty color, such as just a simple sparkly color, or dark plum or black.





    if you straighten your hair, leave it down but if you have curly hair then put it in a half pony, or a regular pony.





    have fun! [:
    u should wear the green shirt do ur nails either light brown or french. and wear Ur hair w/ what ever is more comfortable for what rides u are going 2 ride. if u don't ride anything then wear your hair down and fixed nice cause it won't get messed up. if u are going 2 ride all of the crazy rides wear ur hair up but very cutely up or do like 2 french braids (if someone can do it for u or u can do it yourself.) and put 2 little bows or ribbons at the ends to match ur outfit. like brown or white or something like that if there is a second color in your outfit like hollister words or something like that. good luck, look good, and have lots of fun.
    Yeah i would wear the blue aero shirt , with either a skirt or jeans . And depending on the weather wear ure hair up if hot , and if its cooler wear it down %26amp;Paint your nails pink!
    wear the aeropostale shirt with your hair up. paint your nails either pink or red.

    Has anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?

    There's a vitamin or something called hair skin and nails. My boyfriend is coming back from the army in 2 and ha half months and I had my hair real short when he left. I want it long again when he gets back but it's not comming along fast enough. I wanted to know if this suppliment was bullshit or if it really works.Has anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?
    Yes and in my experience, it didn't work. A regular multi has a better effect than that one.


    Good luckHas anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?
    I'm not sure exactly what your supplement is but if you need one for hair, skin and nails, you should be going for evening primrose or fish oils. Yes, of course they work. A multi-vit may not be sufficient enough to correct the deficiency in your body.

    If its really hard for you to stop biting, you can always put aloe on your nails. It has a stong bitter taste that will definately make you stop, and it's a good nail strengther.





    As soon as she sees that mommy isn't doing it anymore she won't. Explain to her that mommy is trying to stop and that she must help you to be good. She will enjoy that!!





    I think that it's important the children also learn that their parents aren't perfect and they also don't have to be perfect. We are all just trying to do the best that we can and we have to learn from our mistakes.How do i stop bitting my nails as my 3 yr old daughter is copying me!?
    May seem like a dumb answer, but as already posted ... simply do not put your fingers in your mouth. As soon as you feel yourself doing it, imagine seeing you from your daughters eyes ... and stop.
    My husband was a chronic nail biter, too. His trick was to ALWAYS have nail clippers with him. That way if there was the least little temptation to bite (any tiny hangnail), he would clip rather than bite. Worth a try.
    soak them in castor oil
    don't wash your hands after wiping your bum next time you have a poo
    You could use the gross-tasting nail stuff, but if you want to try something less drastic, treat yourself to a fancy manicure. Not fake nails, just polish. Every time you start to bite your nails, think about how pretty they look and how you don't want to ruin them.
    Just stop. It is not adictive.
    My husband had a bad problem with biting his nails especially when he was stressed. Then one day a gay friend of his made a suggestion to him. get some embary boards. When you notice that your starting to bite your nails use them to file down your nails. For him it worked wonders. We noticed too that our 7 year old son was starting to cooy him with chewing on his nails too so we gave him and embray board. My son is now 9 and still doesnt bite his nails. We go through alot of embray boards in this house, but its alot better then chewing on your nails..lol





    Good luck
    U can buy nail varnish to put on then that tastes horrible when you put your nail in your mouth. I got this from avon but it was years ago. I dont no wheather they eill still do it, cuz I'v not looked at a book for donkys.
    My sister coated her nails in habeniro sauce every morning,,


    lol it worked for her,,





    Also there is a polish like stuff you can buy at like walmarts, that taste, HORRIBLE, that u put on


    g'luck
    quite simple after you have finished biting your nails , put your hands in your pocket .


    That way your three year old wont be able to bite your nails will she?
    I used to bite my nails. I just had to make myself stop everytime I put my fingers by my mouth. Eventually my nails grew out a little and having my nail bitten off actually irritated the skin right under where the nail grows out. I just don't bit them anymore. I wanna say I stopped around 19 years old.
    Use nail bite, its this nasty tasting liquid you put on your fingers, but unforrtunately it does also tend to get into food, but at least your daughter will be picking up a healthier habit! Good luck.
    Don't put your fingers in your mouth. That should help.
    I used to bite my nails and I stopped quite a few years ago when I noticed my kids started doing it too. I used to keep a nail file with me all the time. I had one in the car, one in the purse, one in every room of the house. If I had the urge to bite then I would use the nail file instead. I have found that if I keep my nails in good shape and rounded then I don't have the urge to bite them. It's when they have a little edge on them that annoys me I feel the need to bite them until they are even. That's why the nail file helps.





    good luck I know it is really hard to stop but if I can do it, anyone can!
    you have to show pure willpower and she will copy you.


    make a big thing of having mini manicures at home, sparkly nail varnish.

    I have small white spots on my nails, my sister says this is because of lack of calcium is she right?

    If it is lack of calcium, how long will it take to get them back to normal if I have a glass of milk a day, and what happens if I just leave it?I have small white spots on my nails, my sister says this is because of lack of calcium is she right?
    Yes she is right my girlfriend told me off for this lol... so this is how i know about it. I used to have them in the centre of some of my finger nails and i just 4ort it was just a mark i would have for life didn't think anything about it and then my girlfriend noticed them and told me that it was lack of calcium.





    So she made me drink 1 - 3 glasses of milk a day (i love milk so its all good :P) and after about 2 weeks they were slowly going and by the middle of the next month they had gone.





    Lets say about a month and a half of drinking 1 - 3 half pint glasses and they should just go.





    If you leave it nothing happens i just think more develop soo yeah... ha they cant harm you i don't no the point in them..I have small white spots on my nails, my sister says this is because of lack of calcium is she right?
    white spots on your nails is usually from bangs and knocks to the nailbed. the damage shows up as white. it's just local trauma and grows out.





    any kind of deficiency isn't going to be just your nails. it'll be your hair, skin, breath, eyes ecetera!





    check out http://www.wisegeek.com/what-causes-whit鈥?/a> for loads more info
    that's probably why. i hate milk but love


    chocolate milk so i have these lines


    running down my nail, but not white spots.


    they might go back to normal overtime but


    a glass of milk a day isn't going to do it.


    maybe 3 glasses of milk a yogurt and if


    possible cheese. good luck.
    well it is a lack of calcium and if you get enough your nails will be back to normal but if you dont get enough clacium your nails will get real weak and you will get more white spots and layers will start to peel because the nail isnt strong enough...
    omg i have those too ! idk what they are for though thats why i was about to ask the same things but i found yours . sorry idk . i have the same problem
    Sometimes I get those to. I don't do anything different really. I just go as normal. Normally they'll go away.
    Either she is right, you are anemic, or you need to start eating more healthy cause your body is lacking nutrients.
    Yes and probably deficient in other vitamins and minerals.
    Yes. She's right.
    Then its gonna stay white. Drink more milk. :)
    i am not sure all is that i know is that they are calcium deposits
    i get those a lot.

    How to Trim/cut a dogs nails?

    Breed: Pomeranian. Age: 8 months





    How do I trim his nails, I have a nail filer, and a nail trimmer. What else do I need? How do I cut them? How do i stop the bleeding if I cut it to short?





    Any Help Would Be appreciated! Thanks!How to Trim/cut a dogs nails?
    DO NOT CUT BELOW THE WHITEHow to Trim/cut a dogs nails?
    I'm assuming by nail trimmer you mean a type of ';clipper'; with two metal pieces that come together around the nail (sort of like human nail clippers). There isn't an exact way to ';do it'; but be sure if you plan on doing this yourself that you are able to control your dog from movement (this will result in you undoubtedly cutting too short/crooked) and that you can locate the ';quick';. This is very clear in light colored nails, black nails it will be harder to locate. If you cut that, the nail will bleed. You can buy what is called ';quick stop'; if you do cut it too close.





    Personal recommendation: I work at a vet's office, and after all the supplies you have to buy, the struggle with the dog, and the likliehood that you will cut their quick at least once every time you trim the nails, take your dog to his vet and they can cut them efficiently and properly in minutes for a small charge. Your groomer can also do it (most include it with their services).





    You can also buy what I personally use, called Pedi Paws, which files the nail so no risk of cutting and bleeding. Its available at walgreens for around $20.00





    Good luck!
    Unfortunately the PediPaws spooked my dog so I couldnt use it on him. But my dog is VERY BIG. So what I do is I hold him back a little on his leash while I walk him - and he likes to investigate stuff, so he PULLS hard. I just let him file his nails on the sidewalk while I walk him. Works pretty good. Concrete acts like sandpaper on his nails and files them down quickly.
    I got one of those new PETICURE things and it works great! I am too afraid of hurting my boys so I gave up trying. I used to have to keep a lit candle around when I did it in case it bled to stop the flow. Now I just use that thing. It's worth the money, trust me. Good luck!!! DOGS RULE!!!
    at the pet store you can but specific clippers designed for each sized animal and they come with a little booklet etc. But if you gotta do it tonight then just do it in stages and be quite gentle! gd luck

    Has anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?

    There's a vitamin or something called hair skin and nails. My boyfriend is coming back from the army in 2 and ha half months and I had my hair real short when he left. I want it long again when he gets back but it's not comming along fast enough. I wanted to know if this suppliment was bullshit or if it really works.Has anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?
    Yes and in my experience, it didn't work. A regular multi has a better effect than that one.


    Good luckHas anyone tried Hair, Skin and Nails suppliment and does it work?
    I'm not sure exactly what your supplement is but if you need one for hair, skin and nails, you should be going for evening primrose or fish oils. Yes, of course they work. A multi-vit may not be sufficient enough to correct the deficiency in your body.

    How long can you leave acrylic nails on?

    I have had my nails on for a month now, and I get the feeling I'm going to have to have them taken off, and then reapplied. Is this normal? I'm not sure how they cut my natural nail that is almost as long as my fake. Also, the more my natural nail grows the higher up the acrylic nail gets so I would think they would at least have to reapply the tip. If anyone knows, let me know please. thanks.How long can you leave acrylic nails on?
    After you get your nails done you have to have them filled about every 2-3 weeks depending on how much your nails grow. My Mom is a nail Tech so I have nails on allways so trust me you really want to make sure the place you go is clean and everything is sanitary. Also make sure the person who does your nails isnt hurting your nail beds because that wouldnt be good either. Back to the question, when you go to have your anils filled it will be less expensive. Everything you described is super normal so dont freak lol. I hope I helped!How long can you leave acrylic nails on?
    If you want to keep them then you need to get a fill. If you cut the nails yourself you will crack the acrylic. If you don't plan on keeping them on then that won't matter.
    I' ve had mine on for about 10 years, my mom is also a nail tech,,,(she doesn't do mine) she lives to far,,,however, if your going to a good reputable place don't worry about it, they will know when to fill and when to replace, relax and get them filled according to how fast your nails grow, i know some of the girls say 2 weeks, I can go 3 and I've actually gone a month a lot and it didn't do anything,,,,,,where you go makes all the difference in the world,,,,,,good luck=)
    i have them and i get the filled every 2 weeks. a month is way too long to wait so you are probably gonna have to get them taken off and reapplied. get them done every 2 weeks and you wont have to get them taken off for a longg time.
    you can leave them of for aslong as they will stay on :)
    I have new ones put on every few months just because my actual nail starts peeling away from underneath.
    forever if you get them filled and repaired every 2 weeks

  • When you get ur nails/tips filled, dothey trim the nails down normally?

    they're gettin too long but i feel like it might be asking to much for them to trim them down. whats the standard practice?When you get ur nails/tips filled, dothey trim the nails down normally?
    The standard practice is for them to ask you if you would like them trimmed down. If they forget to ask, then you should let them know. It isn't asking too much at all. I think it just slipped your nail technician's mind. Also, and this is going to sound a bit strange they sometimes make assumptions based on ethnicity. I'm white and for better or worse I look and act the 'sterotypical' part. Regardless of where I go the nail technicians assume I want pink french manicures squared off and on the shorter side. One of my best friends is black and when we get our nails done together, she has to ask them to trim her nails. It seems like many nail technicians expect her to want them longer. Also, they often offer her nail art like airbrushing which they don't ask me if I want.When you get ur nails/tips filled, dothey trim the nails down normally?
    Yes, please ask them to trim them down to the length you like and that you can easily work with while on the phone or the computer.


    Please be sure the sanding band they use to shape the acrylic after the fill is a 'new' one and that the nail station is clean. When you remove acrylics and reapply a new set, please tell the tech not to rough up your natural nail with the drill. The nails will stick with just using the glue. Many Vietnamese shop techs do this and it does damage the nail bed. Also, when getting a pedicure, I would recommend not having the cryo blade used on your feet. It removes calluses but also good tissue and thins the bottom of your feet. You may have problems when you're older if you have this type of technique used on your feet. And please do not shave your legs before you go to avoid getting an infection should the pedicure bowl not be disinfected properly in between clients and at the end of each work day.
    usually they do, you can ask too they don't mind that much. If not you can always do it at home just clip the corners with toenail clippers %26amp; file down

    How do i stop bitting my nails as my 3 yr old daughter is copying me!?

    i have bitten my nails for years and i cant seem to stop! help!!! my daughter is doing the same as me and i`ve tryed everything to stop myself and my daughter!How do i stop bitting my nails as my 3 yr old daughter is copying me!?
    If its really hard for you to stop biting, you can always put aloe on your nails. It has a stong bitter taste that will definately make you stop, and it's a good nail strengther.





    As soon as she sees that mommy isn't doing it anymore she won't. Explain to her that mommy is trying to stop and that she must help you to be good. She will enjoy that!!





    I think that it's important the children also learn that their parents aren't perfect and they also don't have to be perfect. We are all just trying to do the best that we can and we have to learn from our mistakes.How do i stop bitting my nails as my 3 yr old daughter is copying me!?
    May seem like a dumb answer, but as already posted ... simply do not put your fingers in your mouth. As soon as you feel yourself doing it, imagine seeing you from your daughters eyes ... and stop.
    My husband was a chronic nail biter, too. His trick was to ALWAYS have nail clippers with him. That way if there was the least little temptation to bite (any tiny hangnail), he would clip rather than bite. Worth a try.
    soak them in castor oil
    don't wash your hands after wiping your bum next time you have a poo
    You could use the gross-tasting nail stuff, but if you want to try something less drastic, treat yourself to a fancy manicure. Not fake nails, just polish. Every time you start to bite your nails, think about how pretty they look and how you don't want to ruin them.
    Just stop. It is not adictive.
    My husband had a bad problem with biting his nails especially when he was stressed. Then one day a gay friend of his made a suggestion to him. get some embary boards. When you notice that your starting to bite your nails use them to file down your nails. For him it worked wonders. We noticed too that our 7 year old son was starting to cooy him with chewing on his nails too so we gave him and embray board. My son is now 9 and still doesnt bite his nails. We go through alot of embray boards in this house, but its alot better then chewing on your nails..lol





    Good luck
    U can buy nail varnish to put on then that tastes horrible when you put your nail in your mouth. I got this from avon but it was years ago. I dont no wheather they eill still do it, cuz I'v not looked at a book for donkys.
    My sister coated her nails in habeniro sauce every morning,,


    lol it worked for her,,





    Also there is a polish like stuff you can buy at like walmarts, that taste, HORRIBLE, that u put on


    g'luck
    quite simple after you have finished biting your nails , put your hands in your pocket .


    That way your three year old wont be able to bite your nails will she?
    I used to bite my nails. I just had to make myself stop everytime I put my fingers by my mouth. Eventually my nails grew out a little and having my nail bitten off actually irritated the skin right under where the nail grows out. I just don't bit them anymore. I wanna say I stopped around 19 years old.
    Use nail bite, its this nasty tasting liquid you put on your fingers, but unforrtunately it does also tend to get into food, but at least your daughter will be picking up a healthier habit! Good luck.
    Don't put your fingers in your mouth. That should help.
    I used to bite my nails and I stopped quite a few years ago when I noticed my kids started doing it too. I used to keep a nail file with me all the time. I had one in the car, one in the purse, one in every room of the house. If I had the urge to bite then I would use the nail file instead. I have found that if I keep my nails in good shape and rounded then I don't have the urge to bite them. It's when they have a little edge on them that annoys me I feel the need to bite them until they are even. That's why the nail file helps.





    good luck I know it is really hard to stop but if I can do it, anyone can!
    you have to show pure willpower and she will copy you.


    make a big thing of having mini manicures at home, sparkly nail varnish.

    What color should i paint my nails? hair up or down?

    definitely wear the green shirt. i would paint your nails deep purple, it is in right now, and i fell in love with the color the first time i put it on my nails! wear your hair down, but be prepared with an elastic to create an instant, cute updo incase it gets messy.What color should i paint my nails? hair up or down?
    paint ur nails white.. they look super cute!! trust me!


    most of the time i have them white..!
    Please don't wear a label across your chest, you're paying to advertise for them. Just go with your instincts, this is not life/death.
    pink nails are always cute, no matter which shirt you decide to wear. also, put your hair up because it's going to be hothothot!!!
    if you have brown or green eyes


    wear the green shirt


    paint your fingernails a pale pink or clear


    and if you think you look better with your hair up


    wear it like that
    ew..dont listen to Missy.





    wear the green Hollister shirt, paint your fingernails a flirty color, such as just a simple sparkly color, or dark plum or black.





    if you straighten your hair, leave it down but if you have curly hair then put it in a half pony, or a regular pony.





    have fun! [:
    u should wear the green shirt do ur nails either light brown or french. and wear Ur hair w/ what ever is more comfortable for what rides u are going 2 ride. if u don't ride anything then wear your hair down and fixed nice cause it won't get messed up. if u are going 2 ride all of the crazy rides wear ur hair up but very cutely up or do like 2 french braids (if someone can do it for u or u can do it yourself.) and put 2 little bows or ribbons at the ends to match ur outfit. like brown or white or something like that if there is a second color in your outfit like hollister words or something like that. good luck, look good, and have lots of fun.
    Yeah i would wear the blue aero shirt , with either a skirt or jeans . And depending on the weather wear ure hair up if hot , and if its cooler wear it down %26amp;Paint your nails pink!
    wear the aeropostale shirt with your hair up. paint your nails either pink or red.

    I think I might be able to help each other could you please drop me an email as im doing a project on stress and nail biting if you are interested to help.





    Thanks peter
    cut them very often and try having gum most of the time in your mouth :) or somethin to chew :) that will keep your mouth clean :) because the nail is a very dirty part of your body even though you don`t realise it
    Get a manicure, put on nail polish, look at how pretty your nails are, and you'd stop.
    dip them in rubbing alcohol and when you try to bite them you will get that awful taste in your mouth and stop. well good luck :)
    keep your mouth busy with etc. a chewing gum
    you can buy a product to paint on the nails, that tastes really bad. Look at Sally Beauty or similar store. Also, it may help you stay away to know......that there are MILLIONS of BACTERIA that are sitting under your nails. Every time you bite your nails, you are putting the bacteria directly into your mouth. Its a gross throught, but anything you touch, can end up in your mouth, including fecal matter- the very thought alone made me stop biting my nails. Good luck

    How do I stop biting my nails? i know it looks aweful but i cant stop!?

    Get fake nails put on. You won't want to bite on those.How do I stop biting my nails? i know it looks aweful but i cant stop!?
    You can buy some stuff from Walmart, Idk what its called, but you put it on the tips of your fingers and its sooo gross, so you don't want to bite your nails b/c it tastes so nasty, I had to use it when I was little b/c I use to suck my thumb and it stopped me from sucking my thumb, but good luck!
    I agree a professional manicure with acrylic tips may help keep you from biting. I also am guilty of chewing my nails (not biting just chewing) but after I get a manicure (like I did today) I usually don't chew them for a while.





    Is this a habit that you do not realize you do? Is it brought on by nerves or something else? If you can pinpoint the cause you may be able to change your behavior to prevent yourself from doing it.





    ';sit on your hands'; is what my grandmother use to say!

  • How do i stop picking my nails?

    i have a bad habit of picking my nails does anyone know how i can stop doing this?How do i stop picking my nails?
    Most likely this is more of a fidgety habit for you than anything. Fidgeting can be a reaction to stress or nervousness, or it could just be an energetic nervous system that makes you feel as though you need to be engaged in some sort of activity, no matter how large or small, at all times. Hands are the prime tool for people who fidget. You can pick something up like a small rubber ball, roll it around in your hands, toss it, catch it, set it back down and then your hands are free to move on to something else to explore and play with. You couldn't do that with your mouth very easily. And, of course, what better for you to fidget and play with but your own opposite hand. They're always there for when there is nothing else close by to play with.





    Now, if your nails are peeling as though they're very brittle and you're essentially tearing off the thin layers, then the first step is to get your nails healthy again. Which means a strengthening and nourishing clear coat nail polish. Having taken the time initially to paint your nails, you should be more reluctant to ruin that. And by using a clear coat instead of a color, when the polish does start to chip slightly, it won't be very visible like it would be if there was a chip of color missing. So by not being able to see the first signs of chipping polish very clearly, you'll be less tempted to want to sit and pick it all off. (to keep polish from chipping as easily, when you want to nearly wrap the polish over the front edge of the nail and continue it slightly under the front edge. That way the final edge of the polish won't be hit very much). If you are biting your nails, this same approach will work.





    Being that you are so accustomed to using your hands to fidget with, you just need to find something else to keep them busy so that you don't go back to picking and/or biting your nails. In fact, make sure that there are always at least 2 or 3 different things you could do at any time to keep your hands busy enough to resist the urge to pick. For example, part of using the nail polish is to regain the strength and moisture in your nails, returning them to how they should be. Once your nails are smooth and shiny with no peeling, you'll find it harder and harder to believe that you used to pick at them. Well, to go along with pretty nails, your hands need to be soft and smooth. Keep a small bottle of lotion handy (not too greasy since it will end up all over yoru hands) and when you start to fell the urge to pick, just spend a couple of minutes rubbing some lotion into your hands, between your fingers, and even up your arms a bit. If you enjoy things like knitting or crocheting, those are both good to do to occupy your hands. Or if you want to get a little brain stimulation at the same time, try getting some mind teaser games, like a rubics cube, one of those metal puzzles where there's a ring caught seemingly impossible to get off the tangle it's in, and you have to figure out how to do it. There's even those great crossword and mind teaser books. All kinds of different games and puzzles to keep your mind thinking of other things. Do the dishes. Build things out of toothpicks and glue. Make shadow puppets.





    You're still going to have the habit of needing to play with, pick at, or mess up something just for the sake of doing it. It's just a matter of realizing that you have a choice each time that urge hits you to do anything you want.How do i stop picking my nails?
    put on nail polish that is really pretty, with a design or something, that way you wouldn't want to ruin your nails. if that isn't enough, wheneve you want to pik at your nails, do something else, or think of something that might happen when you pick at them. like, if you pick at your nails, someone will come kidnapp me and toture me for the rest of my life. something that might scare you.
    Paint them. They'll look too nice to destroy and taste bad too!
    a good way to stop picking ur nails is by getting acrylic nails on so that way thier is nothing to bite or pick.i told my friend to do that and it worked,because she picked her nails and bit them.
    My sister had the same problem girl. Try going to CVS or Rite-aid, look in the nail polish section. They have this clear pinkish nail polish that is for nailbiters. It helps your nails grow but also when you go to bite them you get a nasty bitter taste in your mouth. It should help!
    Putting nail polish on my nails or dipping my finger in nail polish remover, I found it best for me because it taste really nasty...

    What is the customary tipping for nails or massage services?

    Usually I would *think* maybe 5-10$ range, depending on the outcome and how you were treated.What is the customary tipping for nails or massage services?
    I work in a Tanning and Day Spa, and I have actually discussed this topic with our nail techs, massage therapist, and our esthetician many times. For nail services I would tip between 5 and 10 dollars PER SERVICE depending on the extent of the work done. for example, if I have a basic manicure, 5 is plenty but If I get a full set of acrylic nails with extra designs, a tip of $10 or above is in order. As for massages. For a Swedish massage, it is $10 for 30 minutes or $20 for 60 minutes. I know it seems pricey, but they are doing a lot of physical work during that hour and they depend on their tips as part of their income.What is the customary tipping for nails or massage services?
    I generally receive $10-$20 for an hour massage, and $5-$10 for a 30 min. This should definately be based on how the service was.

    Also, don't listenn to those people who were telling you thats gross because its totally normal.And they should stay out of your buisness unless they have something nice to say.


    SO FOR YOU PEOPLE SAYING THAT ITS GROSS....





    STICK THAT IN YOUR JUICE POUCH AND SUCK IT!!!
    OMG! i dont bite my nails, but i totally bite the skin around my nails... dont listen to the other people who say thats gross (even tho it kinda is... i do it, so whatevs). but yea, u can buy special clear nail polish stuff that tastes disgusting so when u bite ur nails, u tase it, then u stop :)


    best answer?!
    you can't stop. i have literally tried everything in the entire world. and it won't work but for some ideas you can paint them with that nail polish that tastes really really bad if you put it in your mouth, but if you're hardcore you'll just say screw it and bite that off. you can put bandaids n all ur fingers but chances are you will just take all of those off too.

    If this bitter tasting polish doesn't stop you from biting nothing will.

    Get false nails.


    or paint them with clear polish.


    It taste's horrid, so that should stop you.





    :-)
    that's gross
    Try getting fake nails for awhile. I had a very bad habit of biting the skin around my nails, but after getting fake nails, I've stopped............although if I go for too long between sets, I start back again.





    Good luck! I know it's a hard habit to break!
    trii baby oil they will also make them grow..............................
    OMG I used to do the same thing, but I stopped when I covered up my ratty bitten up nails with those fake acrylic nails (you can get them really cheap-like $5 at CVS or any drugstore) I got a size petite,then I filed them down a little bit (but kept them long enough that they still covered my other nails) and left them on for a little more than a week, then replaced them. When I took them off, my nails were longer and looked so nice I was motivated not to bite them anymore. I hope it works for you too! Oh, and you can also strenghthen your nails and help them grow faster with clear nail polish. Good luck:)
    i do that too! it ruins my fingers and i dont know what to do!





    i tried to stop biting my nails and i did for like a month but the temptation came back again

    How can I keep my acrylic nails from lifting?

    I've learned to use rugg gloves when doing house work... also... any kind of oil will lift them (oils in tuna, cooking oils, hands in hamburg, etc). If you use super glue to fix them, just make sure they're cleaned first with a bleach and soap solution or you could easily get a fungal infection from closing germs in.How can I keep my acrylic nails from lifting?
    It depends of what u do cuz mines last sometimes 2 months, but if u do a lot of hand work, and by that i mean like wash dishes, etc.. they last 4 weeks or something like that...


    But they r really strong if u take good care of them.How can I keep my acrylic nails from lifting?
    Just get rid of them then you won't have the problem. I think they're gross
    if you notice they aren't secure you can squirt a little quick glue under the nail for strength. or go back to where you had 'em done and have them fix 'em. also try fiberglass nails, they are so pretty...if you use the flue, wear a plastic baggy over you hand, so the glue won't stick to it when you are apply it with the free hand ....
    stop having acrylics done and find some one good to apply Gels on you...so much healthier...

    If you paint your nails and always keep them painted they will start to grow faster. Your nails need to get air. If they are painted they cant and the auto matic response is it grow so they can get it. I know its soounds silly but its the same thing as your skin. If you painted your whole body your skin couldnt get air and you could actually die. In this case your just painting your nails so obviously you will be fine but they will definatly grow.How can you make your finger nails grow long?
    i am going through the same crisis but luckily i know how to fix it!


    first of all u cut them to normal size and then u shape them and then file but u have to file in only 1 direction to stop chipping.


    then u push down ur cuticles and apply a nail hardener every day for two weeks and during that two weeks do not apply anything else to the nail and BAM!





    perfect nails!

  • How does acidic liquids affect carpenter nails?

    ineed this for science fair!!! plz help me...





    i am using water,salt water, vinegar,and orange juice. i need to know what kind of affects happens when you would leave them sitting in there for like 2+ weeksHow does acidic liquids affect carpenter nails?
    Assuming that ';carpenter nails'; are steel nails then the most immediate changes will be due to the iron rusting.





    The initial reaction in the rusting process (an example of oxidation) is:


    2Fe(s) + 4H+(aq) + O2(aq) = 2Fe2+ + 2H2O(l)





    The key points to note are that (1) there needs to be a source of hydrogen ions present, e.g. an acidic environment, and (2) oxygen needs to be dissolved in the solution.





    The equations leading to rust can get complex depending on the pH of solution and presence of other ions. However, essentially the Fe2+ species in the above equation react further with H+ and OH- ions to produce hydroxides of iron: Fe(OH)2 amd Fe(OH)3, which eventually produce the familiar rusty red iron (III) oxide - Fe2O3.





    So knowing the pH of your liquids:


    (freshly distilled deionised) water - pH 7


    salt water - pH ~7


    vinegar - pH 2.9


    orange juice - pH 3.6





    On this basis you would expect the order of rusting to be:


    vinegar (most), orange juice, salt water, water (least).





    However, two weeks is a long time and so there may not be much difference between the nails after this length of time.

    Thanks peter
    cut them very often and try having gum most of the time in your mouth :) or somethin to chew :) that will keep your mouth clean :) because the nail is a very dirty part of your body even though you don`t realise it
    Get a manicure, put on nail polish, look at how pretty your nails are, and you'd stop.
    dip them in rubbing alcohol and when you try to bite them you will get that awful taste in your mouth and stop. well good luck :)
    keep your mouth busy with etc. a chewing gum
    you can buy a product to paint on the nails, that tastes really bad. Look at Sally Beauty or similar store. Also, it may help you stay away to know......that there are MILLIONS of BACTERIA that are sitting under your nails. Every time you bite your nails, you are putting the bacteria directly into your mouth. Its a gross throught, but anything you touch, can end up in your mouth, including fecal matter- the very thought alone made me stop biting my nails. Good luck
