Nails problem. the right way of cutting damage toenails?

I have this problem since i started to cut nail by myself. my toenail is killing me coz it always prick by the side inside of my toe. and each time the nail grow back it hurts. so, what is the best way to fix my problem.Nails problem. the right way of cutting damage toenails?
Go see your doctor. It sounds like you cut the toenail back too far and when it tries to grow back, instead of growing out, it's ingrowing.

Acrylic Nails...what are the problems?

I want to get either acrylic or gel nails I have super short nails now cuz i have a really bas habit of biting them.. What things is it hard to do (write, type...) with fake nails?





Can you use an iPhone?


Thanks!Acrylic Nails...what are the problems?
i pretty much always have mine done(i do them) and at first, especially if u have never had them its a little tough 2 type or 2 text but after a day or 2 u get used 2 them. as long as ur not into those crazy long weird nails. also i used 2 bite my nails 2 and it does help a ton because they r 2 thick. the only real bad thing is if u rip them off urself they can usually make ur nails kinda thin. but if u have them removed at the salon they will be fine. they make ur fingers look longer and i feel extra confident when i have mine done lol. hope i helpedAcrylic Nails...what are the problems?
it is not hard to write or type if you get a short nail but if you want to get really long nails then it will be hard to do some things.





The manicurist will file down your natural nail and that can cause sore fingers afterwards. just an fyi
It depends on how long they are as to whether how hard those things are.


I find it hard to type with mine and using the i phone is also hard but you find a way :)

yes thats the problem. your nail is stained. to avoid this problem use a base coat before applying your nail varnish. this will protect the nail from staining.

  • Problem with nail biting?

    My younger sister has had a nail-biting problem since she was about six years old, and now she's almost 15. I wouldn't be so concerned, if it weren't for the fact that it has gone extreme in the past three years. Now, she doesn't just bite the cuticle, in fact, she bites the skin above the finger and around the finger. She has chewed away so much, that her thumbs are starting to get stumpy looking, and her hands feel gross; like the way my fingers feel after I've played guitar for a whole day. (For the non-guitarists, that usually means the skin on your calluses starts peeling and falling away, but in moderation so it's not that gross.)





    She also has this gross habit of biting of slivers of skin, then spitting it out in random places, but that's just a minor problem. She has bitten her fingers so much, that it's become very habitual, and she doesn't even know that she's doing it. We've tried everything to make her stop, including lemon juice, hot sauce, and just plain covering her hands with gloves or long socks! What can we do to get her to stop?Problem with nail biting?
    you can try keeping them manicured, the hot sauce..


    they sell drops to put on them also to deter this behavior.


    however it is mental, a hand mouth fixation, or oral fixation and probably nerves.


    try gum or lollipops for the oral fixation, carrot sticks.


    and try to get to the root of possibly anxiety.


    that may help.


    good luckProblem with nail biting?
    I have bitten my nails for as long as I can remember, now I'm 14 I just can't stop. I've heard to just do one hand then go down nail by nail I haven't tried it yet though, put on fake nails or buy nail bitting polish (didn't work for me though) I find fake nails and pretty nail polish helps because they look better so im inspired to grow them(:
    your a nervous wreck

    I have problems with my nails.?

    My nails don't brake easily but they have layers or peel of . I don't know if is the use of detergents or dryness or maybe a need of some vitamin. I try different products like Sally Hansen but the problem continue. the curios thing is that its happening me lately, a mean its the first time that it happen to me.I have problems with my nails.?
    Usually peeling results from dryness, so when you are doing


    dishes, if you can, wear gloves and always use hand lotion morning, afternoon, and night-time. You really start to notice a difference after a few days. I recommend Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail, it's in a pink bottle. It smells a little funny, but it quickly fades. There's another one from the drug store I can't remember the brand but it's something like whipped silk rose blossom and it smells really good and works well!I have problems with my nails.?
    dont worry, just start using strengthening nail polish theyll get back to normal healthy nails in no time! also, make sure your eating healthy.





    there are also good multivitimins that are good for your hair %26amp; nails :D
    Mine do the same thing.


    What you can do is drink lots of healthy water.


    Vitams are good


    and will help this
    Hmmm... strange because i swear by Sally Hansen. I would take a vitamin for nails. If it doesn't help maybe go see your doctor. They can prescribe something if it's caused by something ie: stress or thyroid problem.
    I dip my finger nails in lemon juice(freshly squeezed leomns and it strengthen and grows my nails. I have really long nails. My grandparents taught me this at an early age. I haven't tried it in a while but I may have to resort back to it since I'm having the same probs as you. I've tried sally hansen, layers of polish..etc....this works best and I may have to go back to this old remedy. Hope it works...:)
    My nails have always done this. I haven't clue why. I've tried everything. Usually just in the winter months they are worse. So I think it's dryness.
    that always happens to me, so to prevent that, i just put a lot of hard nail polish on my nails, haha, i know it sounds stupid, but its the closest thing. The thick, heavy layers of polish just keep everything hard. just use a base, and then the top coat twice


    good luck haha

    Will hair,skin and nail vitamins help with spots and problem skin?

    I know this is a typically obvious answer, but the best thing for your skin is water...drink lots of it, your skin will come out in spots whilst its cleansing, but it does work!


    Oh and stay away from chocolate!! lolWill hair,skin and nail vitamins help with spots and problem skin?
    i've used the garnier nutrioniste renewal exfoliator and moisturizer with a charcoal masque. and im very pleased with the results. i got noticeable results after the first useWill hair,skin and nail vitamins help with spots and problem skin?
    More information is needed to answer this question. What kind of spots and skin problems are you talking about?
    That's a tricky question to answer, primarily because ';skin health'; can mean different things to different people. Some people get perfectly even skin, some people get more lubricated skin (which is sometimes too oily), some people get drier skin (if it's too oily already), etc, etc.





    Quite literally, the only way to be sure is to try it out for yourself for a few weeks. Most supplements can take anywhere from a few days to a month to notice the full benefits (depending on your system). However, ones that are for your hair and nails often take a few months because it takes a few months for your hair and nails to grow out enough to see the new healthy growth.

    I have one toe nail that is thick and yellow, is there any thing I can do at home to help this problem?

    Using Lamasil to treat a toenail fungus is like using a hydrogen bomb to kill a bug. It's overkill and potentially dangerous.





    IF it's a fungus you can treat it with plain distilled vinegar. Just douse some on your toenail every day. It won't smell once it's dried.


    It take about a year for a new toenail to grow out so it's going to require time and patience. You don't have to use the vinegar that long. Just 6 months maybe. But it'll be longer than that before you see a nice toenail again.I have one toe nail that is thick and yellow, is there any thing I can do at home to help this problem?
    Try soaking regularly in vinager and water. I would steer clear of salons for pedicures, because the fungus can actually be spread. Salons sanitize things, but there's still a chance the fungus can survive.I have one toe nail that is thick and yellow, is there any thing I can do at home to help this problem?
    You have fungus under it, as do I. Try Lamasil. I think you need a prescription for it.
    Its nail fungus and you will want to ask your doctor about treatments available. Usually the most effective treatment is an oral prescription, but there are nail polishes and creams that can work in mild cases.
    My dad has foot fungus and he uses a bleach pen... like the ones you use for laundry and it keeps his nails clean and white. But Lamisil can give you dharia.
    you might be able to buy some fungus control stuff, it doesn't cost that much i don't think, you can just apply it at home and it works...i think
    sry the only thing you can do is go to a foot doctor go before you get an infection and it gets bad if you dont go they might have to give up a shot
    Yes, you can try to get from Sally's Fungunail. that it will help and also try to get pedicures in a clean Salon.
    try cutting it. it mite grow back normal.

    Problem with Nail art !?

    I love nail art but the problem is when I finish my nail art, I have to apply another top coat to seal it so that it won't come off. When I apply top coat,the colors become darker and it looks terrible !! I usually use light colors for my nail art. What should I do?Problem with Nail art !?
    Sephora by OPI has a product, quick drying nail polish drops. They use a eye dropper applicator and there's no brush strokes just 1-2 drops on each nail and it seals all the polish coats dry to the touch in 1 minute and completely dry in 5 minutes.





    http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jh鈥?/a>





    Plus Sephora Cosmetic Stores have testers that you can use on the particular color polishes for your nail art before you purchase the product. In fact they have testers for every cosmetic and nail color in their stores that include nail cotton pads and nail polish remover. Just look for the Sephora by OPI Nail Polish display.Problem with Nail art !?
    buy a new top coat or colors because top coats never do that to me so i bet if you get a new really good one that problem will go away. i love Sally Hansen double duty, its a base and top coat! its great. GOOD LUCK ;)
    Well, I get the plastic sticker-lick nail art and it works fine for me. Maybe you are using the fuzzy kind?

  • What could be the cause of this problem with my nails?

    I have always been able to grow my nails quite long. But for as long as I could remember, they are incredibly soft unless I put nail hardner on them and once they reach a certain length, the start to warp and grow crooked. What could be the cause of this in my nails!? Please help, thanks!What could be the cause of this problem with my nails?
    You might consider taking a biotin pill to help nail and hair growth. Or maybe just change brands of nail hardener or use just a top coat with nylon to protect the nail length.





    Another idea is to visit your manicurist or cosmetics counter and ask her why does my nails curl and start growing crooked? It could be the way the nails are cut, filed and shaped. Do you push back your cuticles enough? or use cuticle oil before polishing your nails?





    They might even recommend a set of acrylics to help your nails grow out for awhile and if you don't like the acrylics after a time you can always remove them. I would just check with your nail salon or cosmetics counter that sells nail products. Hope that helps.What could be the cause of this problem with my nails?
    Well you could be allergic to something in the hardener, and most of the time i use hardener and it always does that because i have a different type of nails. so you could have some type of nails that are not used to hardner. hope this helps:]
    I'm say this cause I care .............. CUT YOUR NAILS!!!!!!!

    Here are some ways to grow nails faster:路





    Drinking milk is good, as it contains calcium路





    Some people advise to take prenatal vitamins for hair and nail growth路





    Proper diet with green leafy vegetables, nuts, dried fruits and fruits would also help nail growth路





    Massage your nails with olive oil.


    http://nail-care-info.blogspot.com/
    paint them so they dont break as easily.
    The thing is, if you want your nails to grow, you have to really really want it.


    Strong will power.


    And if they grow and are weak, file them short, let them grow, and keep doing it.


    You might find going for a manicure will help, having your nails done professionally you wont want to ruin them.


    Try false nails if this fails.


    It allows the nail to grow underneath.
    I used to bite mine too. Just polish them, it keeps you from biting them. You'll see a difference after a bout 2 weeks. I never had the little white tip part of my nail, and then once I let them grow, I saw it and I was so excited!
    put nail Polish on them
    to stop biting your nails, get braces. then youre physically incapable of doing it. thats how i stopped. for strong nails drink a lot of milk.
    You are still going to bite your nails even if you polish them. You need to carry around a picture of beautifully manicured hands and every time you start to bite remind yourself of what your hands could look like. Additionally, there is a product called ';Don't'; that if you put on your fingertips they will taste terrible. Good luck to you!
    There is nail strenghtening polish (I think it's called something like that) or just clear stuff that you can get at like Sally's Beauty supply and stuff like that.





    Maybe if you paint them with a clear coat you wont bite them cause it will taste gross obviously.





    I used one of those clear coat hardener/strengthener after I had my fake nails taken off to help my real nails gross back without breaking since they were so thin and beat up from the manicure. Good Luck
    okay sit on your hands and polish your nails a ton so they taste terrible

    I have very large nail lanulas.Is this an indication of a health problem, is there a way to make them smaller?

    how large is large?

    How do i fix this problem with my nails?

    On the bottom of your nails it is supposed to be curved but mine are straight because the skin grows too much onto my nails, so i can't wear fake nails because it is not the right shape. My friend said that at nail salons they have ways of pushing the skin back, but i'm not sure. How do i fix this and prevent it from happening?How do i fix this problem with my nails?
    The only way is to keep pushing the skin back gently every day, in the salons they usually cut them back. Put plenty of cream on them too and rub it in - that should help.How do i fix this problem with my nails?
    Go to walmart or a local store that has nail products and buy a nail manicure kit of some sort. It doesn't have to be 15 dollars and up, just a cheap little 5 dollar kit that has the equipment for cutting, filing and working with cuticles. There's an object inside of almost every kit you will find that looks sort of like a mini shovel. It is used to push that skin back.
    Cut your fingers off.

    We're strange allies


    With warring hearts

    Yes he did. He is a very talented man and come up with so many beautiful lyrics. I'm a huge fan : )

  • I have a nail biting problem?

    Any solutions?


    I tried wearing gloves,it didnt work out to well.


    Cold turkey?oh,thats easy! I've done it like,50 times. Oh wait a second.


    I tried teh nasty-tasing nail polish but i got used to the taste,and then it didnt bother me anymore.


    Help..?I have a nail biting problem?
    I have been a severe nail biter all of my life and have tried all of the same things you have. The nasty tasting nail stuff was so bad that it made me nauseous and I STILL BIT MY BAILS! I have quit a few times and went a year or more without really biting them and then I will get nervous or stressed and there I go again. The few times I have grown them out a bit though was when I was able to keep my hands busy. I know this sounds dorky but I started knitting and crocheting to keep my hands busy as i would bite my nails the most if I was watching TV. Anything that will keep your hands busy would help...Iam sure. I did find one other way and grew them out once for a long time by having my nails done at a salon (acrylics). The overlay they used was very strong and they were so pretty that I did not WANT to bite them. This is not greatly expensive (about $30) and lasted a long time. Do not believe that your nails are to short for this because they can put this stuff on SKIN and build it up. Do check around with others to find the best salon as my daughter had hers done and they broke easily. The Solon had a bad reputation for using inferior products and got a bad name for it, too. I have also used glue on's to cover mine until they grew out....I used super glue and they stayed on forever. As your nails grow under these keep them filed with an emery board and CUT rough edges. DO NOT start biting at them AT ALL or you will be right back at it. This is a terribly hard habit to break......slobbering on my hands is a thrill...LOL


    Good luckI have a nail biting problem?
    Chewing gum help? Do you do it because you are nervous or because you are bored or ? If you are anxious, take a deep breath and try to relax by doing some deep breathing exercises. If your bored or your fingers just need something to do, give them something to do, like sewing or putting things together, small stuff like that.
    its probly stress so try relaxing umm... put your hands in your pockets see if that helps if doesnt i know this sounds stupid but try putting bandids on your fingers

    I have a nail bitting problem help!!?

    Ok So i have really really short nails. Fake nails are curved and my nails are flat so when i wear them they hurt like hell! I ve tried everything and the only thing my mom says is to put up with the pain untill my nails grow. i dont want to spent money on going to the salon cause the nearest salon is like 100 miles away. is there anything i can do to get my nails to grow??I have a nail bitting problem help!!?
    I don't really understand why fake nails would hurt. The people at the salon should know how to apply the nails so that they won't hurt you.





    What about picking up a fake pair of glue-on nails at the drug store? I'm wearing some right now and they're great. The fact that you can glue them on yourself will be helpful in determining if they're going to hurt. Mine were only like $7, so even if you don't like them, they're not that expensive. With the fake nails on, you won't really be able to bite your nails, and if you feel the urge, you could always bite the fake nails (strange), and it wouldn't affect your real ones.I have a nail bitting problem help!!?
    I had the same problem. I bit my nails when I was stressed without thinking about it. Eventually, I painted my nails with a bitter tasting polish. It actually worked! It tasted terrible, and no matter what I did I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth for nearly an hour. I stopped biting them altogether after about 2 weeks of using the bitter polish.





    I bought this: http://www.folica.com/MAVALA_Stop_for_d4鈥?/a>





    I tried using fake nails as well, but when I took them off my real nails were so weak and brittle that they broke off anyway. Plus, I still wanted to bite them because I never taught myself to stop. I also tried painting them with regular polish, and I just scraped it off with my teeth and bit them anyway. You really just have to get out of the habit. It's hard, but not impossible!
    Hi. I am struggling with the same problem as you. I tried fake nails, but it is expensive, painful, and a lot of work to keep up with. Also, when my real nails grew and I had them taken off, I just ended up biting my nails back down to nothing within a week.





    I am still trying to grow them, and I am doing frequent home manicures (filing, almond cuticle oil, clear nail polish). That helps. I think it's mind over matter. You HAVE to stop yourself when you get the urge to bite your nails. Let's make a pact: neither of us will bite our nails, ok? Good luck!
    Well, I have found fake nails that are pretty flat. You just have to search around for them. Or you can buy an acrylic home kit and just put tips on which probably wouldn't be painful.





    I had the same problem about four months ago(I bit my nails my entire life). I loved doing my own fake nails and as soon as I got that little bit of nail, I wouldn't bite them. Now my nails are long.
    Ah, I had the same problem too. Try distracting your mouth when you feel yourself biting your nails. Chew a piece of gum or have something in your hands to stop yourself.


    To help them grow: Put lotion on before you sleep and try not to bit the skin around your nails
    There's Only 1 Way I Can Really Think Of:

    Just paint your nails because you don't want to bite the paint and leave it alone, it'll grow by itself.
    you can put on nail varnish so the next time you bite it it will taste pure bitter
    paint your nails


    put diamond strength on (so it get hard to bite off and give up)


    then put some stuff to make them grow
    Stop biting them.

    Is artificial nails really makes your real nails stronger ? and what problems it can cause?

    my mother got fungus from it. And I years back I used to have my nails done but stopped. They would hurt my cuticles and I also got paranoid with thinking I could catch something from the instruments being used.Is artificial nails really makes your real nails stronger ? and what problems it can cause?
    artificial nails do not make your nails stronger, they make them weaker. Doing them occasionally is ok, but take care of your nails very well aftewards.





    some people are allergic to the acrylic stuff, so be careful .Is artificial nails really makes your real nails stronger ? and what problems it can cause?
    In my personal opinion I don't think so because in order for the artificial nails like the acrylic ones they have to file down your natural nail so I wouldn't say stronger. Artificial nails MAY cause a fungus under the fake nail if it is not taken care of correctly.
    l used to have them applied (very expensive at $5 per nail plus gratuity)-and my manicurist told of a woman she knew who had to literally rip them off on a plane to Europe as she developed an alergy to them.





    For the duration of my having them, they never made the real nail stronger but at least they could grow under the fake ones so you could have your own when the artificial ones were no longer applied-cept it is hard not to go back to biting them. I even bit the acrylic ones.. The manicurist said to let your nails have a rest period or time of doing without the acylics as the real nails can't ';breath'; under them. Check with your manicurist for more info.I read a reliable report but can't remember where that beauty shops must maintain high standards as many cases of infection have been reported due to not having individualized applicator's for each client!
    No they damage your nail root and the glue that you use are really bad for the nail surface.
    I use to get my nails done. It made them thin, brittle and yellow in color. I even ripped my thumb nail completely off, the fake nail had a very strong glue and didn't break, it took the whole nail!!
    Fake nails suck!!!...I have naturally strong thick nails BUT I decided to try acrylics...but it messed up my nails for a good 6 months!!!
    I'm not a fan of artificial nails as the different methods applied do always damage the upper layer of your nails with the super-clue or as their molded directly on top of your own, hard to be removed again. I find that they feel odd as their much thicker than your own and you can't use them the normal way. I would only recommend them for a wedding with a french manicure or let's say if you bit your nails and have a job interview...:-)

    Girls I have a problem with nail polish - i keep biting it off! Help is there a brand that's hard to bite off?

    Just apply some nail hardener to your nails. This stuff tastes so gross, you won't want to bite it off!Girls I have a problem with nail polish - i keep biting it off! Help is there a brand that's hard to bite off?
    No there is not any polish that will help. If you go to the Nail shop let them put you some nail on, you don't want it stick. Very lite. And this is because you want pretty fingers. This will help you have pretty nails and the polish will not come off. You don't have to get them very long. They could be short to none. You don't want to poison your system with the polish.
    Apply some clear polish that tastes terrible over the top, so you stop biting your nails.
    im not sure what its called but u can get this stuff and ya dip ya fingers in it then when u bite r lick ur fingers u can taste it it taste like perfume its minging u can get it frm boots for like a 5uh hope i helped. plz answer my q in fashion n style!.
    Try to stop that. It's not good for your health, also looks bad too. Try to control your willing when you want to do that, remember bout bacteria on ur nails. I had had same habit before, and about 2 weeks I perfectly solved it by control my mind. Nailslook better and stay health.

    You can buy online or go to your local superdrug.
    Why don't you stop biting your nails? It would be far easier and probably your nails would look better anyway.
    Nope, just fake nails.
    Theres nailpolish that has an ingrediant that tastes horrible deliberatly so people dont bite their nails. They are at most places where you can buy nail polish.

    Really bad nail biting problem.?

    Yes, I admit it, I bite my nails. It's gotten even worse now, and I don't know why. I have tried everything - from acrylic nails, to the bad tasting stuff, to putting on gloves, literally everything. I think it's time to visit the doctor before it's too late. It's causing so many problems for my self esteem. Every time I look at my nails, I feel like a horrible person. I am disgusted beyond belief. My best friend has long and beautiful nails, but once I glance at my nails, the hate for myself starts all over again. I really think that I need to see a doc. I want to have beautiful nails, but I can't achieve that with this stupid habit. Don't tell me to buy the bad tasting stuff, because I have already tried that.





    What do you think?Really bad nail biting problem.?
    try putting on those plastic fake nails on and by the time they fall off, ur real nails will be nice and bigReally bad nail biting problem.?
    well, what works for me is getting really good manicures, because there is no part to bite off. But, you can put bandaids on your fingers? or try keeping something else always in your mouth, like a lollipop, gum, mint, ect.
    Honestly, best thing that's worked for me is polishing my nails. Every time you bite your nails you wont only get a bad taste, you'll get a mouthful of nail polish chippings. Plus, your nails will look cute.
    I used to bit my nails bad! Now I need to keep nail polish on them at all times, esp. colors I love! If I see the gorgeous colors on my nails I don't want to bite them...
    wear gloves lol
    Don't be ashamed, I'm a boy and do it too.

    RLY serious nail biting problem!!!?

    i hv this RLY serious nail biting problem


    like i don't just bite the tops of my nails...


    i bite them till half of it is all gone


    ive been biting my nails since kindergarten


    ive stopped on all fingers cept one


    my right index finger


    and now that finger like doesn't have any nails on half of my finger


    its mostly hardened skin


    and i've bitten it all the way to the root?


    how can i stop


    and can the nail even grow back?


    and how can i make my nails grow faster





    also i can't have any manicures or fake nails put on because since only half of my finger has nails, itll hurt real badlyRLY serious nail biting problem!!!?
    The way I stopped biting my nails was to have acrylic nails applied...you just can't bite them. hot pepper and other substances did not work for me. applying acrylic nails to what you have will not hurt if you can stop biting them long enough for them to heal...use the 'Stop the Bit Nail Polish'... 3 days should do it.RLY serious nail biting problem!!!?
    this is absoulutley discusting! nail bting can give u worms and get u sick, make sure u always wash your hands and mouth. since u want to stop, then stop, u have control over your body, it may be a habbit, but make sure to look out for everytime u start, stop yourself! make sure your busy doing somthing else! eating healhty drinking water exersizing and shower will make your nails grow. theres products to make your nails grown like creams. instead ov chewing, maybe take out your chapstick and just massage your lips, thats what i do. or just put on some ov your new nail gorwing cream.
    I don't know the answer. You may need to see someone about your anxiety problem. That is, if you are like me and chew your nails from stress. I do want to give you hope. I grew out of chewing my nails to the quick. Now I just chew off the ends!





    I disagree with the person that said use fake nails. I've had fake nails and manage to chew through those too. :)
    i used to have that problem too a long time ago. i forgot what its called but its this liquid you put on your nails and when you try to bite them you taste this extremely bitter and disgusting taste. it should stop you from biting you nails
    they sell this thing that is kinda like nail polish and you put it on and when you go 2 bite, it tastes really bad i think its bitter im sorry i dont know what it is called ill find out
    Stop the Bit Nail Polish stuff.


    TRUST ME!


    When you try to bite your nails, it gives this really bitter taste and you wont bite them. Keep applying it until the nail biting stopps!!
    check this out





    1) MAVALA STOP for nail biting


    2) Orly No Bite
    chew gum, it helped me
    yup nail biting is a pretty bad habit to have but when you're boredand you start to bite your nails give your hands something else to do or something pick up origami or something it gives your hands something to do and stuff





    or tell yourself that what you're actually biting off is dead nails, so make yourself disgusted at that thought or ';eating'; something dead. compare it to like a dead body and imagine that if you're biting your nails, it's like biting a dead corpse. it might work or maybe think of the disgusting germs under your nails that can get you sick and think of the places where your hands have been. very unhygenic and unhealthy.





    or think of the time when you DO grow your nails out they'll be so beautiful and you can do whatever you want with them: paint them, put on acrylic nails, or just simply show them off.





    and i know that you can't paint your nails and stuff but if you wait a little just not biting them you might be able to start painting them. i stopped biting my nails beacuse whenever i painted my nails they looked so pretty and i didn't wanna ruin them by biting them and then naturally i just stopped biting them even if i didn't have nail polish on.





    hopefully either one of these ways works. it's all in your head.

  • Huge nail polish problem on eyelids. How to get rid of it?

    Okay, I need help and I need it fast. I was going to go out tonight for the first time in months and disaster fell upon me. I decided to paint my nails with some old, but decent nail polish I had at my office while my friend was driving on the freeway. As I was tugging at the cap to open the encrusted bottle, it opened explosively covering my eyelids. We couldn't get off the road for 20 minutes and by the time I got to my sink, it had solidified. I now have a 2 mm thick layer of nail polish on my upper eyelids. I can't open my eyes fully nor close them. I tried pealing it off under wet conditions, but my eyelid skin started to peal offas well. I tried acetone, but it got into my eyes and it hurts so much!!! I don't know what to do I look like a freak. I'm begging you! please PLEASE help me!!!Huge nail polish problem on eyelids. How to get rid of it?
    Maybe you could gets nuw eyelidz; like at da mall or sumptin.Huge nail polish problem on eyelids. How to get rid of it?
    Hahaha now you know never to open or use nail polish in a car again :)


    Why on earth would you do a stupid thing like that?? I'm referring to acetone on your eyelid,idiot. That's how you go blind.





    Now before you do another idiotic move go to the nearest hospital or call one of those help hotlines they should help you.


    As for the acetone,wash your eyes out with cold water.
    DON';T use polish remover whatever you do. You will go blind. GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM!!!!!!!! They have a special solution that only they can use. Also they can check your eyes and make sure they are okay. My best wishes are with you. And don't listen to the other jerks that are no help. Things like this happen.
    call the poisons info hotline for your area, they will advise you. Even go to the ER, I'm sure your not the first to have this happen and they can check none is in your actual eye
    Go to the ******* doctor, do not put anything else like, aceton, or anything like that onto your eyes again.
    it is going to have to come off on its own...no remover or other chemical on the eyes please! geeze! try oil...olive or baby...normally nail polish comes off of skin very easily ...unless of course you have smudged it...good luck!
    Put fingernail polish remover on them but try not to get it into your eyes.
    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahah鈥?br>










    Hahahahaha.....





    You made my day =)
    use Vitamin E oil... i PROMISE you it works for all sorts of things...


    i use it when i try to take off Eyeshadow that doesn't come off... it works great
    No. Really? Write a screenplay.
    Ok here's what you do.


    Get a wash cloth and soak it in hot water then lay it over your eye to warm up the polish. It will soften it up and then you can scrape the thick part off. Not peel it off just make it a little thinner by scraping off the top.


    Get off what you can like that, then get a qtip and put hot water on it then nail polish remover. (the water dilutes it) it will take a while but it will get it off without getting it in your eyes.


    You can also try a cotton ball with water and remover on it and keep your eye shut tight. Just remember to use hot water!

    Extreme Nail Biting Problem- HELP!?

    Okay, i've been biting, and picking my nails for the past 7 years straight. I'm not even quite sure why I do it. Its gotten to the point where I pick and bite my nails until I can't get to them anymore, and then start on the skin. Its such a disgusting habit, I know. But I can't help it! When one my fingers start to bleed, I stop, clean it up, and move on to the next one! I seriously hate myself for doing this, and am not sure why I do it... I have tried everything. I have tried using the awful tasting nail polish, but then, I start to pick my nails, and not bite. I have tried that cinnamon oil, and that didn't work, because I hated how it felt (sticky) and was embarrassed by the smell of it. I've tried using band-aids, and tape, and nail polish, and getting fake nails, and gloves, EVERYTHING. I don't know what to do. They hurt bad, but my hands don't seem to care... I would LOVE to break this terrible habit, and move on. Please tell me what I can do!!!!!!!Extreme Nail Biting Problem- HELP!?
    One old and common technique, which some modern mothers use, is to cover the nails with spice or a foul tasting substance. Another therapy is more of a torture routine, wherein you tie a rubber band in your hand, and every time you bite your nails, you punish yourself by snapping the rubber band. You could try swapping the habit of biting your nail with the habit of chewing gum.Extreme Nail Biting Problem- HELP!?
    whata!! ha.


    well i suggest you go with a specialist, half of us are probably clueless on your weirdness...sorry =(





    ooooh what about biting carrotts!

    I have a nail biting problem, and I want to get fake nails but.......?

    My mom and dad always so no! I can pay for it my self, and I tell them that, but they still refuse! I want to get them down at a nail solon, with full sets of nails(comes with manicure) for 20 bucks!! cheap right?! so i wanted to get them done there, but my mom and dad still say no!! the nails are also supposed to stay on for up to 3 months!!! how can i get my parents to let me get fake nails?!


    Also, how can i get out of my habit?!I have a nail biting problem, and I want to get fake nails but.......?
    I think i have the answer to your problem but i can't assure you that it will work if you won't take control of your nail biting habit. I heard this idea from The View which was mentioned by ';whoopi goldberg.';





    She said that imagine how many times you use the toilet and how many times you flush it. Imagine the dirty stuffs that you've been touching during the day...Imagine how merry the germs are while travelling through your digestive system ...EEEEwwwwww!I have a nail biting problem, and I want to get fake nails but.......?
    I stop biting my finger nails for good after I got acrylic nails for the first time.
    Yes, then the nails need re-filled every 2-3 weeks and you pay the same each time. It can cost $50-60 each month.





    If you buy some pretty colors of nail polish, you might not want to bite your pretty nails. They feel different with polish on them and that might keep you from wanting to bite them.
    How old r u? Have you asked them why you cant get them. i bite my nails and getting fake nails was hte best thing ever it helped me to not bite them anymore and my real nails even grew. jsut talk to them and ask them why you cant get them.
    I too have a nail biting problem, I got fake nails, wasted 20 bucks, and I chewed them off 3 days later. Trust me, it's not worth it. It's hard to grasp things, and fake nails won't stop you from biting. Just keep yourself from doing it, or let yourself do it. I've stopped trying to fight myself and let me be me.
    Actually, nails won't stay on for three months and you should really have them fixed at least every two weeks. The acrylic nails have a way of chipping and breaking. Some do that before you can get home from the salon.





    If you have a nail biting problem, you will continue to bite at the acrylic nails to the point to where they will come off taking a part of the regular nail with it. Sometimes the nail will lift and you can get a nail infection which is really ugly and can deform the nail.





    It will take months and months of acrylic nails for you to finally quit biting at your nails even with the acrylic on them. Your best solution is to make an effort to stop biting your natural nails yourself. Once you quit biting your natural nails, you may not want to take with acrylic nails.
    First you need to stop your bad habit of nail biting!!


    There are nail polish type products that you can put on your nail so when you bite them they taste gross.I suggest that when you catch yourself with your hands in your mouth you take them from your mouth and sit on them you have to become aware of this action as it is probably done now without even noticing it.


    I can see why your parents are saying no to you-they probably would like to see you have your own nails.So get with the program and show them you can grow your own!!


    Nail biting can become a serious health issue-it destroys the nail bed and can cause your nails to grow improperly.


    Good luck and sit on them hands....
    i really doubt that they'll stay on for 3 months! 3 weeks max.


    %26amp; i got out of my bitting habit by getting fake nails.


    i dont kno what 2 say about ur parents.


    sorry.
    First off nails won't last three months. Your natural nails will grow within three weeks tops. You may want to get glue on ones at a walmart . 5 bucks at most if you get set that comes with glue. Keep glue with you encase one pops off. Its a cheaper way to have to nails and work hard on taking care of them. maybe your parents will see you can do it.


    Biting nails is a havit. you can replace this with another habit suh as becoming obsessed with doing your nails. Don't get ones too long or you will find it difficult to do things.
    hey.i also had the nail biting problem but there are various ways to get over it.think about it would you like it if sum1 just came over to u(probably a cute guy.lol.)nd he lyk wants to get to know u nd then he sees your nails and then he...backs off.if you dont want that then dont bite them.U can also put something bitter on your fingers(when u r at home)whenever u put your hand in your mouth and u taste d bitter thing u'll remove your fingers from your mouth.it just might work for u.
    i have the same bad habit. i once wanted fake nails really badly. i got them, but a could not stand them! i wanted to bite them! i ended up painfully taking them off by myself like 3 days after i got them because they bugged the heck out of me!
    fake nails helped me to stop biting my nails...20$ is cheep i pay 30 for a new set...

    Nail polish problem!!!?

    Well... im a girl.. and girls paint their nails.. well ive painted my nails MANY MANY times... never had problems... well... the last few times ive painted my nails they just REFUSE to dry... and i use a nail enamel dryer.. Umm... i've blown on them... well i put two coats on, not very thick... but when i put one little coat on it chips SOOOO fast and isn't the color i want til the 2nd coat... man.. i feel dumb.. but...








    idk what to do. haha.Nail polish problem!!!?
    You seem to know what you're doing since you know to apply thin layers so that it doesn't get all gooey. I just aply the second coat as soon as I'm done with the first one, since by then each nail has had a while to dry as I paint the others. A couple minutes after applying the second coat, apply a top coat to protect your manicure from chips. You can try to use your nail dryer to speed up the process but you just have to be sure to wait a while and not touch anything until it's all set. If you're impatient and want your polish to dry quickly, get a fast-drying formula. Those, however, can sometimes get those little bubbles in them as they dry. The problem could just be that the formula you choose isn't very good quality. I think OPI, Essie and Sally Hansen polishes tend to work better then certain others.Nail polish problem!!!?
    Happened to me before...It really is a pain :/





    You may have to put on a light first layer then wait for it to dry to put on the second. This really can take a while depending on the brand. You have to have ALOT of patience it can up to like 30 mins... Don't touch anything nail polish has a bad Habit of not drying when you want it to but it dries on things its not supposed to...Good luck! :)
    1st thing is the nail polish old? real cheap? If not, then wait longer between coats. I'ts always better to put on two or even three thin coats than thick ones. The surface dries but it doesn't dry underneath then the new coat mixes in and well.....it will take forever to dry.
    its probably the brand.. lol srry idk just put them under a lamp for a while i think that will help idk srry if tht didnt help
    Is the polish old? Try a new bottle, see if that works. Otherwise, I don't kno! I don't paint my nails much...

    Nail eating problem...?

    heey im 13,


    and i developed this habit on in an early age, and the habit is nail eating.


    and the skin around it..


    I just want to know why did i develop this habit in this age, about a year ago and i still have it, could it be stress ? or what could it be,?


    please provide me with as much information..


    and if you could give me websites please do..


    thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks a lot :)Nail eating problem...?
    just put on lose trousers, jeans and other pants like stuff. Most of your time will go in holding them. You won't have the time to eat nails.......lolNail eating problem...?
    Usually is a way a child shows that he is nervous, embarrassed or shy. That's a way to calm themselves down. Others instead of eating their nails, they suck their thumbs. Is normal but it doesn't go away by itself you need to find a way to grow out of it.
    theres stuff you can get in a pharmacy to put on your nails and make it taste disgusting so you wont put them in your mouth.
    Do you wear nail polish? Maybe if you had nail polish on your nails then you wouldn't want to bite them as much?





    Every time your about to bite your nails,just say STOP, and distract yourself with something else. Maybe carry around a chain or silly putty.. yo yo lol I don't know, just something to distract your hands.





    A lot of elementary students start biting their nails, they could be bored or nervous? Are you stressed about anything, get nervous before anything specific? Try to make a mental note of when you start to bite your nails.





    Or umm always wear gloves.. :D

    Nail salon problem, why will they not combine stamped card.?

    every time you get a service valued at $20 or more you get your card stamped,after 20 stamps you get a free mani or pedi service.


    but if you take a friend, mother daughter you cant get 2 stamps on your card even though one person is paying.


    and if you lose your card you can start a new one.


    but you cant combine it with the other card when you find it.


    in other words you cant have more than one card,


    I think its rediculous since you paid good money for each stamp.


    this see,s stupidly unfair since I have at least 4 cards.


    I change purses or left card in pants pocket.etc. you know I paid good money for each service. its the decision of the check out girl.


    thats all, she could stamp it if she wanted to. and she could combine all the cards I have onto one card if she wanted to..... her answer, just keep them on one card.....Nail salon problem, why will they not combine stamped card.?
    i have the same problem!!! i have a couple cards because i foget to bring my other one. and they wont combined them.. that is how they make money..

  • Nail biting problem!!? using 20 characters...blahh?

    I have a huge habit of biting nails, and once i did stop, but they were so flimsy that they broke right off after a few days of actually being long! I read this book called Airhead and how she bites her nails, but supermodels can't or whatever adn they put this liquid on her nails that dries super-fast and it hardens and then they filed them down and they said ';go ahead try to bite them'; and she did, but it hurt her teeth, so they don't break..





    does anyone know what this is called?

    plz help me.. i have a serious nail biting problem and i wanna stop but can control coz whn i am in stress.. automatically i start biting my nails... plz .. some good way to stop that habit....Nail biting problem...help?
    1) Self-control - consciously make yourself stop every time you automatically start biting your nails.


    2) You could try soaking your fingers in something icky tasting, like lemon juice, vinegar, nail polish remover, or Buckley's.


    3) You could try wearing clear nail polish, as that tastes pretty gross too.Nail biting problem...help?
    i bite my nails 2 its hard 2 stop
    cut off ur hands
    They have this type of nail polish that they put on children's nails to keep them from sucking their fingers and/or thumb. It tastes bad, so it breaks them from that habit. Why don't you try that...I'm sure it'll work.....best of luck to you.........
    They have a nail polish made just for this and it is clear! It is very bitter and it works.
    http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/downloa鈥?/a>
    I know this sounds odd but if you put clear nail polish on it might stop you from biting them, becasue nail polish dosent exactly have a good taste... Or drug stores sell special creams to put on your fingers, so when you go to bite them you get an awful taste.
    Try some self-control, dude!
    I used to bite my nails when I was in school, but once I graduated I just stopped, and I haven't done it since. Try putting something nasty tasting on your nails, and see if that works.
    They make stuff to put on your nails so they'll taste bad. See the link. That will help you be aware when you're doing it. But, it's going to take self control. You seem to have the desire to stop. Good luck!
    There are nail polishes that you can buy to help make you stop biting. They're clear and taste bad, so you won't want to be biting them.
    There is this stuff (I don't know what it's called) that you can buy and put on your fingernails, and it tastes bad - so when you bite yur nails, you can't because it's so nasty, and it trains you to stop.
    Keep nails clean, trimmed and filed very smoothly. Carry a small diamond file with you, when the urge to bite strikes, file the rough edge instead.





    Try calcium supplements, and have your thyroid checked. Some people bite when they do not have sufficient calcium or correct thyroid levels.





    If you want to try the repellant method that others have suggested, you could put very hot pepper sauce on your finger tips, just don't stick them in your eyes!
    i have the same problem. u gonna have someone thats around u all the time to slap ur hand to stop the problem. it works for me. my mom does it to me! ^-^

    Nail clipping problem?

    I have an issue with my little Heinz 57 mutt. She let me clip her nails when she was a puppy. A few months ago I decided to try using a dremmel tool to trim her nails, that ruined everything. She was so terrified of it that she won't even let me clip her nails anymore. It took my husband and I 2 hours to trim them last time because she was so scared.





    I planned on just taking her to Petsmart for a simple nail grinding, I figure they can handle it better than I can. I hate how scared she is, so it makes it harder on me to try to do it. But I was recently told about an herbal downer for dogs, it calms/relaxes them and might possibly make it easier to trim her nails on my own.





    My question is... has anyone heard of this? Should I try it or just pay them to trim it?Nail clipping problem?
    get rid of the dremmel tool!! you are need to start all over. heres what I do with my dogs and hopefully it can help you. I use human nail clippers because one is fearful of the dog clippers. so I put one dog in my lazy boy (easier to clip) and I have a hand full of treats next to me. they get a treat for getting in the chair. then ever so often during the clippings the get a treat. with my dog that was fearful of the dog clippers, in the beginning I had to give him a treat for every toe and even take a break between all four toes. you need to try and make the experience for your dog pleasant again. go slow! just do one toe a day if that's what it takes to get her to not be scared.Nail clipping problem?
    I have used Rescue Remedy on my cat for nail trimming and it worked wonders. I highly recommend it.





    In the long run it will be more beneficial to you and her if you are able to trim the nails yourself. Here is info on helping a dog overcome its fear: http://www.ddfl.org/behavior/fearful-dog鈥?/a> I can not emphasize enough the need to go slowly. It may take several days of desensitizing her to having her feet touched in the presence of the nail trimmers before you are able to actually clip a nail. And, unless she has a miraculous recovery, don't expect to get all nails trimmed in one sitting - it may take five or six sessions (or more) before all paws are done in the beginning. Eventually, though, it should be as easy as it was before.
    I would try to use the herbal downer first before you spend more money on getting them proffesionally trimmed. If it doesn't work just go to plan B. Good luck!
    I would start from scratch with a slow, gradual process.





    1)Get a new pair of clippers that doesn't look anything like the dremmel tool and some top quality treat (chicken or beef, just cut it small so you can give many treats)





    2)Put her and the clippers up on a table. Make sure she can see the clippers on the table but dont actually clip her nails. if she in anxious about the clippers or being on the table keep her their until she calms down. When she is calm give her alot of praise and some treats. Then put her back down on the floor. Do this 2-3 times everyday until she will go up on the table without any hesitation or complaining.





    3)Put her up on the table as before with the clippers in sight. This time pickup one of her paws. Hold it for a moment and put it back down. If she didn't give you any trouble give her a treat. Do this with every paw several times. Take her off the table. Repeat as before.





    4)When she has mastered the above, try have the clippers in one hand while you handle her paw with the other. Repeat as before.





    5)When she is giving no fear of the clippers being around her while you handle her paws its time to attempt to clip a nail. Put her on the table the same as before. Now you can either bend her paw back at the ankle with one hand while you clip the nail with the other or even easier just clip the nail without picking up her paw. The first option may be more stressful for the dog but it gives you a better cutting angle and view of the undernail to gadge where the quick is.





    For the first few times remember to take it slow. Just cut one or two nails. Only cut a small portion of the nail so you dont chance cutting into the quick and causing her pain.


    Make sure you are calm, if you are nervous or expecting her to freakout then she will pickup on this and is more likely to get agitated.





    If she starts complaining say No, give her a second to calm down then try again. Dont get discouraged is she fights back. Stay patient, calm and persistant. Don't give in to her. Clip the nail, ';Good Girl';, treat and put her down. Eventually she should give into you and allow you to clip all of her nails without a problem.





    Good Luck
    Don't ever use a Dremel nail clipper, dogs are so afraid of the roaring noise.....and some never let you clip their nails again.





    if she is this afraid, please don't take her to a groomer, call your vet and ask them to do it....he will be able to control her better





    and giving herbal remedies to calm down a dog to clip nails, does not work......and should not be given anyway, unless a vet approves it first....and some of the herbs are not good for dogs...





    sorry, your little dog is so scared of nail clipping, but the best person to deal with this is a vet.





    good luck
    The dog needs to get back to trusting you, whether you are using a clippers or a dremel. Of course it would be easier to just take the dog to a groomer or vet, but for me, I would rather do it at home instead of having the inconvenience of taking the dog somewhere. Start out slow, say doing one or two nails per day, every day...This might get the dog into a routine and get rid of his anxiety.
    its about 10.00 to get a nail trim at pet smart,they are professionals groomers so they have had their run of scared dogs,





    Our pet smart does it iwth in minutes we go in,they stop grooming a dog they were working on and always fit in eye cleaning and nail trims,or eye cleaning


    let your dog go to pet smart about 3 times before you try again at home,But I would use human toe nail clippers works for me in between grooming


    you could watch how the groomer does it





    I wouldn't give my dog anything even if its a holistic method,





    The grinding is new here at my pet smart,when my maltese get groomed they get their nails trimmed part of the grooming pkg,but lately they asked if I also want their nail grinded,mind you,I am sure its an extra charge for it,I haven't asked





    I have used a toe nail clipper,I feel i have better control,





    You dg must of had a bad experience ,like even the sound of the clipper that put her in being afraid





    Good Luck
    dogs have lots of nerve endings in their legs- so if you only ever hold the feet when you are going to clip them- the will freak


    try touching and holding the foot, but not clipping- and then give a reward for it


    time and patience will teach your dog it does not have to be a bad thing to have a nail trim
    There is a new pedicure for dogs and they don't even feel it so watch tv and 5there will be a commercial on so you can order.
    Are you talking about Bach's Flower Essenses - Rescue Remedy? I use it to calm my one dog who's afraid of thunder. It takes the edge off. You might also want to check into Tellington Touch. There's techniques especially for dogs who are afraid of having their nails clipped.





    I personally think it would be much easier on your dog having you clip them (with clippers if she's that afraid of the dremel) than sending her off to strangers where she's already going to be stressed. Persist, start off slowly handling her feet, then pretending to clip or just clipping the very tips. If she was ok as a puppy, she'll get over the fright but you can't be nervous yourself because she'll pick up on that and think she has a good reason to be scared. You need to calm and confident.
    I think that if you have a vet you trust go there, they will probably charge 10-15 $





    You can go to pet smart but if your dog is nervous already then more dogs will be worse at the vet the dog is in a seperate room when having the nails cut





    Don't use the downer on the dog sometimes they are allergic and have a hard time brightning back up. I almost lost a Pit that way
    Use a canine anesthetic, they can be prescribed from your vet.
    I have heard of such a thing though the name escapes me right now. Another alternative would be to attempt a slow reintroduction of the dremmel. Let her sniff it while it's off and then turn it on low and let her come to it in her own time. Treat and praise the crap out of her whenever she gets close. Play with her feet while it's on, and then test a nail. If she lets you do one, praise the crap out of her some more. If she is really terrified and won't let you even get close to her with it, this could take a long time and taking her to a pro in the mean time might be your only option. Good luck!
    I have not heard of this herbal supplement, but you can go to your vets office and get a sedative to put her out for a while. Then you can trim her nails and it will be pain free and fearless for her.

    Nail CUTICLE problem.. please help! :)?

    Ok, ever since I was a little girl I've always had really dry cuticles that grow, I know.. gross! I have to get a manicure every couple of days or my cuticles get really nasty. No one in my family has this problem. I've tried just conditioning them very often and not cutting them, but they grow and nothing works. My nails are very healthy and my overall skin is not dry at all. I have no idea what's up with my cuticles! Is this a condition? Is there something I can do, medically wise?Nail CUTICLE problem.. please help! :)?
    I would just use a straight up cuticle REMOVER cream. and it will remove the cuticle all together. and remember to push them back with an orange stick when they grow out or they will over grow on your nail to cause hangnails.Nail CUTICLE problem.. please help! :)?
    how about trying cuticle oil or massage oil 4 the hands with a nail filer it should help a little.

    Nail Bitting problem! how do I stop this bad habit?

    I've been biting my nails since ever, and I can't stop this bad habit.


    Last year I made a little progress and my nails actually started growing but it wasn't long until they vanished again...


    My friend tries helping me by slapping me whenever I start biting but then i do it again the next day,and the problem is that I can't help it, I just start biting automatically...





    please help me because I don't want to be nailess on my wedding (thats what my mom used to tell me when I was small to scare but it never worked ^___-)Nail Bitting problem! how do I stop this bad habit?
    Dip your finger tips in nail polish remover. Every time you try to bite you'll get that nasty taste and it will get stuck in your head that if you try to bite it will taste GROSE!!!

  • Nail care problem [NOT a fungus] with dryness?

    I have a problem with my nail beds, the areas of skin surrounding my nails, cuticles, and fingertips. the problem is, they're dry and cracked, kind of like when I touch stockings or other materials like that, I can feel it scratching. its kind of like I have a million microscopic hangnails everywhere.





    the worst part is . .


    everyday I try to manicure them and I see the same problem day after day.





    I don't know if its genetic because my moms nails are like that but 100 times worse, but neither side of my grandparents have terrible nails like that so I don't understand.





    I know this was long but please help me .Nail care problem [NOT a fungus] with dryness?
    1. Could be eczema.


    2. Could be dryness from washing hands frequently and/or dry air especially in winter. I use hand creams every day in winter - at least once.


    3. Try hand creams first after each washing


    4. If no improvement after a few days, see a doctor/dermatologist

    I have a problem with my toe nail?

    please help me????


    a lady stepped on my big toe with a high heel and now my toe nail is completely off. about how long do you think it will take to grow back. what about if i wrap my toe nail back on to my toe; will it stop my new toe nail from growing in? please help it hurts big time.I have a problem with my toe nail?
    Well don't wrap your toenail back on! Just leave it be and it should heal itself. I have had my toenail removed twice and my friend had the same thing happen as you. Just use a bandage or large band aid and try to keep it clean and sanitized.I have a problem with my toe nail?
    just wait for ayee lil it will grow back on its own





    if any thing go to doc and get somee pain killers for it.

    Nail biting problem...I've stopped but there still is a problem! What should I do?

    ok I'm almost 14 now and I used to bite my nails since I was 9 or 10. I stopped biting them when I turned 11 or so. I trim my nails every week and now they're properly trimmed and clean, But the problem is my nails are tiny! What can I do to make them bigger. Even when I grow them out and the white part on the tips of my nails are long, they are tiny! What should I do? I don't wair nail polish because it will be obvious my nails are small:[Nail biting problem...I've stopped but there still is a problem! What should I do?
    Do you mean they're small compared to other people's nails? Or that they won't grow very long?





    If they're small compared to other people's nails, there's nothing you can do about that. It's just like having freckles or a long pointy nose, it's just a part of you and if you look at your relatives one probably has the same thing.





    If they won't grow very long, try taking calcium and a multivitamin. Some people take gelatin supplements too to help with hair and nail growth.Nail biting problem...I've stopped but there still is a problem! What should I do?
    in the nail polish aisle they have something call nail growth activator and its in a nail polish bottle and you apply it just like nail polish.





    it will make your nails strong and will help make them grow longer.





    its by sally h.
    If you have stopped biting your nails than its not a problem ,


    just let your nails grow out


    and paint them with one of those clear nailpolishes that makes the nails grow longer - faster .

    All the answers here are good ones..but another thing. Carry nail clippers and use them instead of biting your nails.. It might take a week or two for them to start growing again. If you have a good family physician, ask him/her for suggestions.. Sometimes they use anti anxiety drugs as well.
    OMG Good question. I have been struggling with nailbiting my whole life. I chew and don't even know it. It is definately my nervous habit. I always get fake nails and end up chewing them. That crap to put on the nails has never worked for me either. I want to try hypnosis.
    I think we can help each other out i need help from some one who bites there nails a lot and if poss could you I'm me through yahoo and we mite be able to help each other





    thanks peter
    nail biting usually results from excitement or when your mind is racing with thoughts and you are full of anxiety. In long run it becomes a habbit that you find it very difficult to restrain. The best thing I would suggest is to start eating chewing gum and biting this gum with the fore teeth ( which are usually used to bite the nails) and also apply something bitter to all your fingers just to remind you if you absent mindly put your fingers into your mouth. But first of all you make up your mind very strongly that you want to cut down this nail biting habit because these nails go into your stomach and would cause ulcer and sometimes even stomach cancer. Hope this helps you . All the best.
    try wearing gloves .
    i use to do that i was told to use mustard as it burns your mouth and you dont do it again...i can say that as it worked for me

    Nail Polish Problem!!!?

    Okaii. i really like wearing nail polish but some of da bottles i hav are really sucky. i really want to noe sum good brand names, and sum nice nail polish colours.Nail Polish Problem!!!?
    What kinds do you have that you think are sucky? Sally Hansen has a fast dry that has nice colors. What colors are you looking for? Let me know and I can help you out, I ALWAYS wear nail polish!Nail Polish Problem!!!?
    usually i buy Milani and OPI and sally hansen


    i have some called Pure Ice by Bari cosmetics that i got at CVS. the color is hot tamale # 762. it is an orange color that looks great in summer with a tan. it goes on smooth and is long wearing. get you some base coat or clear and put that first, let dry. 2 coats of your color %26amp; let dry well. then another coat


    other favs- milani black cherry


    sally hansen diamond strength no chip nail color in Rose Amore #44. - its my current fav. also sally hansen constant iris # 57. its a gorgeous pale pink.
    OPI is my favorite brand, you can find them discounted on sites like e-bay. Sally Hansen is another good brand, it's very affordable and you can find it at most stores.





    Try using a good top coat like Seche Vite, it will make your polish last longer without chipping.
    The 2 top products are Creative Nail Design and OPI. CND is only available at salons though. A trick of the trade would be for you to add 2 drops of nail polish remover to your old polish. This will thin them out, and prevent them from getting clumpy!
    Revlon Colorstay - the one with the color and clear sealant topcoat sold together in a package.


    I just got a new one with a glittery sealant topcoat





    This is the best nailpolish I've ever used! Stays on for a week with no chips or peeling. I'm constantly doing dishes and things with my hands. They take a beating but my nailpolish stays strong!


    Sold at local Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Target etc.

    Nail Polish problem????

    okay..i have this group of friends at school and we're so best friends..anyway my favorite thing to do is put nailpolish...dark colors..it really looks nice..so i'm addicted to it..everytime i go with it to school..my friends are complaining about my nail polish and says that i shouldn't put it..i mean like..i don't think it's their business..so..what do i have to do about them not liking it ...i mean like it's not my fault..i can't take it anymore?!?!?!Nail Polish problem????
    Dark colors are great, everyone's doing it! Show your friends that it's a hot thing, that celebrities and socialites are wearing dark nail polish too. And then once they see, go reward yourself by buying Chanel Blue Satin, it's one of their newest colors. It's so close to black, but it's still navy, and it's my latest obsession!Nail Polish problem????
    same!!!! exept my skin color goes nice with a french maniqure!! u know what? i just thought of something... you could do a black french maniqure!!! exept my problem is that i keep putting on nail polish and then when i want to do a french maniqure, they arent long enough!!! your friends are probably

    Be strong and confident in yourself. It does not matter what anyone else thinks!! My advice to ignore them, tell them that you like it, and don't tell them how to ';dress';... Individualism is one of the hardest things to stick to... it is so easy to get lost in a crowd,.. be yourself.
    you're situation is a little like mine. i prefer more pale shiny conservative colours but my friend loves bold and bright crazy colours and she sometimes criticizes my choices but i just tell her i like it. same with her, sometimes she loves a colour and i hate it but i've just grown to tell her that it's not my thing. so basically if you like it, don't let what your friends say get to you.
    use a base coat before applying dark colors to keep it from staining the nail.
    Whenever they say something, say ';I like it.'; They'll eventually realise that you do like it and its your nails for you to put nailpolish on.


    I love dark colours too, mostly black, brown and red.
    Don't use nail polish
    i like dark nail colors too, but it doesn't fit me good. but i always enjoy seeing someone who goes good with it and is able to wear those kinds of colors. if you like it and you feel confident wearing them...wear it! its not your friends business,its your nail..not theirs. its true some people like more pale colors and others dark...unfortunately i don't fit so good with dark ones... :(
    my freinds do the same but just say it my body and I like to put on nail polish and I'm not going to stop and if they get mad and don't talk to you you know that they aren't your real freinds
    I love browns, as long as you like it, who really cares what anyone else thinks, if someone doesn't like you because of the colour nail polish you where seriously its time to get new friends, after all once you finish school you proberly won't even see them again
    Doesn't sound like they're so best friends to me. If they were, they'd respect your choices. Stand up for yourself, and keep it.
    dark colors are good too. Tell em to find something better to do with their time than to tell you what to do with yours.





    My god how i do not miss High School!
    dont listen to anything but yourself. if you like something do it its not up to others to tell you how to be. tell them you like it and thats that, they will soon get used to it.





    and you are right its not your fault, you are doing your thing and they need to respect that.
    it doesn't matter what they think


    and if they're mad at you because the nail polish you wear


    obviously their not worth being friends with
    tell them that it is your body your choice if you like to put on dark nail polish then you can anyway dark colors are soo cute!
    dark colours make your nails stand out more so if a group of guys went past your nails would stand out, sounds like your friends may be a little jesious, try to ignore them.
    ur luck is so bad to have those friends,....


    come to be my friend.. i love put nailpolish....

    Kernsey is correct.





    I would add that his proverb is double edged it is trying to say that in life if you rely on only one method to solve your problems then that is fine but be prepared for the all in one solution to fail at times.





    The below article explains it more clearly.





    http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2004/11鈥?/a>
    its saying that when you only have one tool at your disposal, you think that everything can be fixed by it. For example, if you are a talker and your good with your words, you think you can fix anything with your words...
    when you have limited problem-solving skills, you wind up taking the same approach to solve every problem which is rarely successful.

    Just make sure your nails taste nasty. Nail biting is not just a bad habit; most nail biters do it without even realizing.Have a nail biting problem!!?

    get fake nails. you will then only chew on the fake ones but because theyre too hard to cut/ chew, you will get tired of bitting them and when you take them off, you will no longer feel the need to bite on them
    The next time you go to the store check out the aisle with the nail clippers, fake nails, polish, etc. and look for a bottle that says ';Bite It'; with a red line through it. My three year old was biting her finger nails and toe nails!! I bought this stuff and was putting it on her nails. I got some on me and didn't realize it until I tasted it. DISGUSTING! I don't know what is in it, but if it doesn't work, nothing will!
    It's not very PC, but my dad told my brother that it was the first sign of homosexuality. That was 15 years ago when there was no PC.
    I put on fake nails for about a year, cause they don't taste good. After a few times I mean several times of trying to bite I stopped. Thats what worked for me.
    stop thinking about biting your nails and keep busy. i quit 5 years ago after over 50 years of biting my nails.
    uh i got a container of stuff called Thum and you paint it on your nails and everytime you go to bite them it tastes bitter. I tried just painting them and I still bit them so I found that at Walgreens and it worked. I also had been biting my nails for my whole life.
    I was able to stop biting my nails with a product called Stop Bite.


    In a week, I no longer had the urge.


    You paint it on your nails, and for days it tastes so terrible that you have to brush your teeth each time you put your fingers in your mouth.


    It doesn't wash off. You do have to be careful with finger foods however, as it seems to transfer somehow.


    It works though, 100%. I had bitten my nails for 20 years. To the quick.


    You can buy it in any drugstore. It is the same thing they use to keep children from sucking their thumbs. So if you can't find one, you should be able to find the other.


    Good luck.
    Go to a manicurist and get some fake fingernails. They're too tough to bite through without making a significant effort and eventually, you'll give up trying. Even if it doesn't work, you'll at least save your poor cuticles.





    Of course, the key is to not give in to the urge. The hardest part is in the beginning but once you get use to the idea of not biting them, it will get easier and you'll eventually stop thinking about it. If you feel you MUST bite, carry a straw with you and bite on that instead.
    PUT SOMETHING THAT IS BITTER TASTING ON THEM......LIKE BAKING SODA OR SOMETHING.......NOTHING THAT WILL KILL U!!!!!! BUT JUST SOMETHING THAT'S BITTER..... WOULD TRY THIS AT HOME FIRST THOUGH.....DON'T WANT TO BE WALKING AROUND WITH A WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE ON UR HANDS IN PUBLIC.......LOL...MOST HABITS ARE KICKED AT HOME THOUGH.. SO GIVE IT A SHOT
    nail polish.


    you'd maybe stop if you put on nail polish.
    I bite my nails as well i don't know how but my friend said if you'll keep on biting them it might cause a heart attack.
    go to a salon and have acrylic nails applied. Bet ya won't chew on them without hurting yourself !
    just pretend that you rubbed them in dirt..or puke or somthing gross..would u want to put that back in your mouth..no
    rub some garlic on your nails ... im sure you wont want to have the taste of garlic on your mouth all the time.... and it will also help your nails grow faster and stronger
    my daughter used to do it until we put that yucky tasting stuff on her nails . it worked right away.
