My nail has a crack in it, but it is the part still on skin, will it fuse back together?

it hurts, but i don't want to rip it off, it is the part still on skin...will it grow back together, or will i have to wait till that part grows out enough to clip it?My nail has a crack in it, but it is the part still on skin, will it fuse back together?
No, it won't fuse together. I had this happen not long ago. I went to a nail salon and had it repaired for only $3. It lasted until it grew out enough to clip it.My nail has a crack in it, but it is the part still on skin, will it fuse back together?
Its not going to go back together so you just have to either clip it off or be REALLY careful not to snatch it off.
it will have to grow out, you can use a strengthener or some clear hard polish to hold it till it gets long enough to clip
Don't pull it off. It will hurt like crazy. No, it will not fuse back together. Put a bandaid on it and wait for it to grow and clip it then.
no
you have to wait or have a doctor remove it. It happened to me once on my big toe.

Is it wise to start a nail salon in this economic situation?

First off we are not in an economic depression. We are only in recession. This means with the right decisions of our Government we have the chance to get out of it soon. I estimate 2010 we will be back to normal.

People are still opening their own businesses even today, regardless of what is going on. What you want to do is choose the right location in your area where you will be noticed and easy to get to. Picking the right hot spot in your area is so you can gain high volume customer traffic. Offer something in your salon to potential customers other competitors don't already do. Set your prices a little lower at first with prices are subject to change at any time.

If you have the ability to do so, I don't see why not. Don't be like other people who are paranoid and scared and running. It's the media that is causing all this attention and fear. If it helps I'm opening my own business now and I'm excited about it! Not fearing it! Just have the right plan and a back up plan. For instance, if I don't do well in my business I can always sell it.

Hope I helpedIs it wise to start a nail salon in this economic situation?
I suppose most folk would say, wait for a while

but it really depends on where it would be, and who the customers would be

People always will spend money on necessities and the odd little luxury,as they see it

Also January into February are always a tough months for businesses as people are skint after Christmas

maybe wait a while and watch what is happening in other nail salons around your areaIs it wise to start a nail salon in this economic situation?
Right now? No. Since we are in an economic depression, extravagant luxuries are not affordable for those who wish to go. I suggest waiting for things to pick up. Good luck.
I must admit at the moment i do my own nails as I find nail bars a bit on the expensive side.

For guys, do you prefer it when girls wear nail polish or when they dont?

it doesnt matter ThaT much i mean theres alot more imortant things but i guess i really like french manicure/tips on a girl and maybe just a light shade of nail polish sometimes. something that complements their eyes/hair/clothes something like thatFor guys, do you prefer it when girls wear nail polish or when they dont?
Doesn't really matter, far more important things than nails.

I have dry cuticles, so i bought some Vitamin E nail conditioner. how do i use it?

and when will i see a difference? this dry winter air is taking a serious toll on my cuticles! so i decided to buy this stuff.. I've been using it a few times a week, and I'm not seeing a difference. and i even followed the directions. please help :o)I have dry cuticles, so i bought some Vitamin E nail conditioner. how do i use it?
it doesnt work..even i tried it...:((

now i use a home remedy. i apply olive oil..it works wonders.I have dry cuticles, so i bought some Vitamin E nail conditioner. how do i use it?
I have the same problem year-round. I'm addicted to using lotion on my cuticles because of it. Instead of a few times a week, use it after every time you wash your hands. I put lotion on like 6 times a day.
You should use it more often, but for instant results, use carmex.

I keep it with me everywhere, and whenever I have frizzy hair or an icky nail, or when my eyebrows get red from tweezing and I have 5 minutes until I go somewhere, I use it, and it works instantly.

I love it.

Just rub it wherever your issue is, and its fantastic.

Plus its only like, 88 cents, so..get it in the pot tho, its less messy.

But if you still want to use your vitamin e stuff, use it more often, at least twice a day.

(In the morning and at night, or whenever your nails are particularily dry)
apply to the cuticle probubly in a week

What brand of nail polish is the best at not chipping the next day you put it on?

There are many good brands of nail polish. The secret is in the application. You want to start with clean, dry nails. Put on a clear base coat. After this dries, put on your color coat. Make sure you don't have too much nail polish on your brush by swiping it on the side of the container. Try to do the nail in three even strokes...left, right then middle. or conversely if you like. Then after this drys put on another coat of color. There are so many good brands, from Sally Hansen to Christian Dior, it depends on how much you want to spend. After your second coat dries, top it off with a layer of top coat.

Now the challenge is keeping your hands safe so they can completely dry. Keep them still so they wont get dented or smeared. You can fix any mistakes with a cuticle stick and a bit of cotton with nail polish remover on it. Be careful! After they have dried, put on a nice hand moisturizer. Voila! Beautiful nails.

Good Luck.What brand of nail polish is the best at not chipping the next day you put it on?
Express Line- quick drying and strongWhat brand of nail polish is the best at not chipping the next day you put it on?
sara lee
MAC, Sinful (found at Walgreens), OPI, Hard Candy, Amphigory
OPI, Joan Rivers %26amp; Avon nailpolishes work really well I think for not chipping right away.
well first just put any brand of nail polish on and then put this stuff on your nails called NAIL MAGIC and your nails will be healthier and grow faster and they wont chip!
OPI, but use a base coat and a top coat, the base coat should make it stick and the top coat will protect it.
Sally Hanson or OPI!

But Loreal Jet Set one is great when ur travelling ..fast drying and less chips....and shiny too..........juz with one coat
Sally Hanson
Naturistics, Orly, Nyc is pretty good oh and ICE you may not have heard of it.. hope this helps!
Sally Hansen
NYC. i get it all a pharmacy store (walgreens or CVS or something) for around a dollar or so.
O.P.I
sally hanson but use 1 coat base coat 2 coats polish and two top coats mine usually last a week on this system
Personally, I've always had good experiences with both OPI and Zoya colors.

Nail polish that is NOT quick-drying will wear better than its 60-second counterparts (has to do with the chemicals in it).

Also, when polishing your nails, wipe them quickly with either nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol right before you polish - this will get rid of any excess oil and will help your polish last longer.

Lastly, use a good top-coat. I like Orly's Won't Chip - smells horrible, but it WORKS!

Hope that helps.
Kiss ..omg its a really good nail polish
avon or nyc
Orly - that stuff stays on til you grow it out.
I can wear OPI for days, and I even play the guitar!
Any polish will chip if your nails are not prepared well. Make sure you buff them with a nail buffer first, then base coat.
Max Factor's nailfinity works. :)
I have tried all kinds and OPI is the best by far. It's a little pricey but its worth the extra money because the polish looks so much better than other brands and lasts almost a week. Also, use a top coat to seal the polish - it will also make your nails really shiny.
wow... so many things wrong about chipping the next day. Try Essie, OPI, Chanel, Dior, anything decent.

Do you think it's possible of being in an actual habit of taking things too seriously? Just like nail biting?

I wonder if that's what it is for me. I'm trying to lighten up a little and enjoy myself, but it's hard. How can I tell if it's just a habit I need to get out of. I don't think I'm depressed or anything.Do you think it's possible of being in an actual habit of taking things too seriously? Just like nail biting?
Sure it's a habit -- or a ';tendency,'; if you like. Everyone has tendencies. Many can't take things seriously when they should -- that's their tendency. Some have to constantly ';catastrophize,'; or see the negative side of things, or obsess over security, etc.

When I'm considering how seriously to take a certain issue, I ask myself, ';How will it actually affect me?'; If the answer is, ';It won't,'; or ';Very little,'; what's the point of getting worked up over it? If it will affect me, then do the right thing and move on.Do you think it's possible of being in an actual habit of taking things too seriously? Just like nail biting?
yeah im sure its just a state of mind and Im sure it definitely a habit...being serious can be good, ppl to take everything as a joke can be shallow and insensitvie and annoying.

I have been told by an ex that he wished I took things less seriously....I was actually quite depressed at the time, now I am less depressed I take things less seriously, BUT I do think that feeling miserable was a habit on my part, I was unable to crack a joke or be spontaneous, and I had to take his comments to heart and make an effort....that was in april this yr, and now I am seeing results, so dont pressure urself, it takes time, bt u can def. do it. He even said I seemed so much happier and more jokey recently, so I know it can be done!
When I was a teenager I had the bad habit of popping my knuckles. I did it in school before a test or big exam. I would do it at home if I thought I was in trouble. I was not depressed or anything, it was just a nervous habit. Still is today.

I have dry cuticles, so i bought some Vitamin E nail conditioner. how do i use it?

Wasabi....does it taste like nail polish remover to anyone else?

I love spicy food, but to me, Wasabi tastes exactly like nail polish remover. Agree or disagree?Wasabi....does it taste like nail polish remover to anyone else?
You crazy young kids are huffing nail polish remover?

I don't know what nail polish remover taste like, but wasabi taste very much like horseradish where the ';hotness'; hits the back of the thoat and clears your sinuses.

In fact, much of the wasabi we buy today is actually horseradish that has been dyed greed... Hence the relate to horseradish.

So I guess I disagree with your statement.

Horseradish/Wasabi is more like a strong mustard (same hot chemical) while nail polish is more of a chemical smell (acetone).Wasabi....does it taste like nail polish remover to anyone else?
Niet
Having had wasabi paste in my mouth and NEVER having had nail-polish remover in my mouth, I cannot honestly compare the tastes. However, I did not notice any olfactory or other similarities with the odor of nail polish remover.
sorry don't know. that is one thing that is to spicy for my tastebuds.
Wasabi provides a type ';heat'; that no other spicy condiment can provide. Its the kind that burns the hell out of your nose/sinuses, yet is gone just as quickly as it came on. No lingering FRIED taste-buds or scrambling with gallons of water to drink. It does, however, have a marked ';citrus'; tang to it which can be quite overwhelming so I understand why your ';buds'; have been questioning whether or not you've just drank nail polish remover. I happen to love wasabi, but it is definitely an acquired taste. If you don't care for it, you don't have to eat it. If you'd like to TRY and eat it again (especially with sushi), try mixing some with light soy sauce. It smooths out the texture/flavor and give the salty soy sauce a kick. Definitely worth a try!
No not at all but, the nasty pink pickled ginger on the side of it on the sushi plate tastes just like nail polish remover. It's just awful!!!!!!!!!!!
It doesn't taste exactly like that to me and though it depends on the kind you get if you get it in the tube it kind of reminds you of rehydrated chalk that's kind of hot and tastes like it has badly mixed powdered sugar in it.
Sorry, disagree.
:) Don't know. Never tasted nail polish remover. lol

I will try and taste the nail polish remover next time I am at wal-mart. :)

to remove the glue the best way is to use very hot water and place ur fingers in it. then apply some moisturizing cream and acetone and it will be off immediately.
soak in acetone nail polish remover
try nail polish remover, or you might just have to file it down.
try soaking your nail in olive oil and use a nail file to get it off then use some cutical loation to help it repare it's self.
You could use acetone to remove it or file it down.
just do this, dip your nail is nail polish remover. it may take a while depending on how much glue you put on your nail. that hurts though! just don't try to pull it off. it hurts so bad. i tried that once. stupid me. ^_^ don't worry it will come off
nail polish remover, the kind with acetone will take it off
soak your nail in nail polish remover, it will soften and you'll be able to rub it off
I don't know much about nail glue, but I do know solvents. If you want the gunk of try acetone nail polish remover. If that doesn't work try terpentine.
If all thoes suggestions fail then try WD40.
keep your nails in nail polish remover
you could try to us nail polish remover good luck
Sounds like it's not fake, but REAL nail glue. Try not to wonk on it again.
that happened to me-soak it in nail polish remover, promise it'll come off!
nail polish remover, and dip your nail in hot water it should loosen up the glue so u can take it off. dont pick at it trust me it isnt good for your nails. good luck :]
take like a tooth pick and scrape it off hard even if it hurts or go to a doctor or a manicurist or a nail store or salon and they will give u a special cream or gel that will wear it out and away in a week

Yes.

Just like when one of ours is injured and or/falls off, it is slowly replaced with a new nail....a dogs nail will do that, too. It takes several months, though.

Please try to keep it clean so it stays free of infection.
It should grow back. But it really needs to be kept clean and he should be put on antibiotics.
Yes, the toe nail will regrow the dog it lost. It's kinda cool.
yes but keep ur dog off it's foot for a while
Fences shouldn't grow toenails.

Your dog is showing a proclivity for being a superb manicurist.

Please, do not thwart his talent.

What could I use to hang a nice jersey on the wall without ruining it with a nail or using a tacky hanger?

You can use push pins. They don't leave a big hole, but will hold it securely. Depending on the color of the jersey, you may be able to get some of the same color so they won't be as noticeable. Hope this helps.What could I use to hang a nice jersey on the wall without ruining it with a nail or using a tacky hanger?
Take a curtain rod, broom handle, hockey stick, lax shaft, pool que, tailpipe, pvc pipe, copper pipe - anything really

Slip the pole through from 1 sleeve then out the other. you could slip the gloves on the ends if you want

Hang fishing line, or rope, wall bracket, bike wheel, handle bars - anything the pole could sit on but not roll forward or fall, or wire the pole to what you use for a bracket

Fishing line from the ceiling or wall makes jersey look like it's floating, no visible framing

wrap ends of rod or handles if they show or if you want to be decorative, or string photos down from handle/rod

Trace a cardboard cutout the size of the jersey, slip it up from the bottom of the shirt, duct tape cardboard to pole so jersey does not sag

If it still sags, use those big office clips on the back or inside the jersey to straighten it out

Once you have this set up, you can change the jersey with the sports seasons and never damage the Jersey

My dog chewed his nail off and now it looks like ground beef and its infected bad.I keep it covered with meds?

You will have to assess the rest of his health. Are his joints in good shape? Is he over weight? Is he fairly active?

Dogs and cats both can do very well losing a limb. I had a 15 year old cat that lost a hind leg to cancer. He lived another 5 years and was very happy and mobile. He even got more active after the cancerous limb was removed.

This will be a discussion between you and your vet.

Good luck!My dog chewed his nail off and now it looks like ground beef and its infected bad.I keep it covered with meds?
Too late now. If you want to let your dog live with you for a little longer, I suggest getting his leg off. It will take practice to get him to learn how to walk, but it's just like a human with one leg.

Think about it...

Your dog will still be the same, don't worry.
Let him cut it off. The dog would be much better than.
%26gt;.I am sorry to hear that. Take the dog to another vet and get a second opinion. That is a tough choice to make, I would have a hard time with that too.
Oh for heaven's sake take him to the vet and get him some antibiotics. If it is a dew claw and the vet is recommending it be removed then let the vet do so.
The vet wants to cut his FOOT off or just that toe? If it's just a toe, I would say yes. If it's the entire foot, then they might as well take the whole leg to help the dog balance.

Some dogs are very healthy at 10 and some are very old at 10. Only you know your dog's attitude. Dogs normally do fine on 3 legs as long as they don't have other issues like bad hips or knees.

If it has gotten Gangrene, then you'll have to talk to the vet and weigh your options.

My dogs tend to live to 14 or so.
If the infection spreads into his blood it will kill him. Listen to your vet. Dogs do very well with 3 paws, even at his age.
I am not sure I understand.. But if you aren't happy with the information you are getting from your vet, or you think he isn't giving you all the options, get a 2nd opinion. If the 2nd vet tells you the same thing, then you can maybe make a more informed decision.

Unless your doctor has recommended any specific vitamin supplement you are wasting your money.

Our body benefits more from nutrients in natural foods than in any synthetic ones,

That goes for antioxidants and selenium too.

If you eat a balanced diet with plenty of fruit, vegetables, pulses,seeds and nuts, some protein and a little fat you shouldn't need expensive vitamin plus tablets.Has anyone used Perfectil (vitamins for skin hair and nails) ? Is it effective and how much?

Nail polish yes. Yellow - No. Not to hurt your feelings but they may be looking at it due to the weirdness factor. Toe nail polish is normally very sexy.
in my experience, boys don't like girls who are so stylish. they like girls who are simple. be simple, girl ^^
I highly doubt guys will say they like yellow nail polish.

My boyfriend is SO picky about the color of my toenail polish that I just ignore what he thinks, and wear what I like.

Any dull colour would look good ,not bright colours .
my boyfriend loves it when my toes are painted but he loves them more when i get them done.(french manicure) I think guys loves it when girls take care of their appearance.
Certainly not yellow! If the nails are perfect then don't cover them up but otherwise choose a good color, just not yellow!

My thumb nail turned black 3 weeks ago, when is it gonna fall off?

I smashed my thumb when I was returning a 60 pound dumbell back to the rack and it slipped right onto the nail part. this was like a month ago and it still hasn't fallin off yet but it is really black but my thumb isn't swollen or anything and doesn't hurt anymore.My thumb nail turned black 3 weeks ago, when is it gonna fall off?
It might not fall off at all. I broke my toe and the nail was completely black but never fell off. It might just have to grow out normally.My thumb nail turned black 3 weeks ago, when is it gonna fall off?
TRUE STORY: Two summers ago i smashed mynail in a door. It turned immediatl black. Mine pushed out around October.(injured in July.)

Report Abuse

It may be a while, I smashed my thumb at work between a sledge hammer and pavement. The nail went black instantly because there is dried blood under the nail, you have to wait for a new nail to grow from under the old one. Mine took about three and a half months before it was close to normal again. When the new nail starts coming in it will push the old one up, cut as much away with clippers then use the flat tool on most clippers to get as much of the blood out from under there as possible. Its does not feel to good but it speeds up the whole thing, good luck
New one is growing underneath, the smashed one will take long long time to fall off without even realizing by u. Just wait and see..
It'll continue to grow out as healthy nail grows. At some point, the ';dead'; stuff will come off and the new will continue to grow
I think it should come of soon in about 1 week. If not go and see a doctor!

Even if your nails are still very short, you can still get a manicure. Manicures help to get your nails healthy. It's amazing how much better they look as well once they've been done professionally. Go on a regular basis, and you should be on your way to having nice looking nails.How long does it take nails to grow to a decent length for a manicure?
well, after biting nails, they will become weak and break easily. believe me, i naturally have strong nails but due to my nervousness i've made them thinner. try and get this nail polish that makes them health and strong from a pharmacy, and just paint them a color and before you know it, they'll have grown :)
start taking vitamins and drinking more milk and water and believe it or not eating jello makes the nails grow too. keeping them clean helps also. try washing the dishes more .

What is the normal healing time???I have had a total nail avulsion on one toe and have been dressing it for about 2 months now,is this normal?
That is a little longer than I would expect for this kind of injury. As long as you aren't diabetic and don't have peripheral vascular disease, I would have expected this to be healed by this stage.

Are you sure that there is no infection which could be delaying things?

I would get your GP to take a look.

if you have a open sore from the nail falling off putting some ointment on it will help it heal faster. The nail is going to take a long while to grow back so do clean and cover it initially.

What can someone use for a thumb nail that groes about half out and dies. What can hlep it grow?

you may have a nail fungusthere is products in walmart for this problem are see your doctorWhat can someone use for a thumb nail that groes about half out and dies. What can hlep it grow?
Without knowing the cause I cant even make an intelligent guess on how to solve it. The best advice is for the person to see a doctor and get a diagnosis as its obviously not normal.

THe nail on my dogs paw snaped.IT was the nail highest up on the paw probably on the leg. Now it wiggles?

I think its just the nail will it grow back. Should I see a vetTHe nail on my dogs paw snaped.IT was the nail highest up on the paw probably on the leg. Now it wiggles?
Dont worry that is called a dew claw and it is normally taken off by surgurey for it is very painful when it gets ripped out(this happens a lot) so I would advise to take the dog to the vet and possibly get the nail removedTHe nail on my dogs paw snaped.IT was the nail highest up on the paw probably on the leg. Now it wiggles?
OUCH

This happen too my pit bull once. After 3 days of me trying to keep it clean and after trimming it. It got infected. I'd probably go ahead and take the dog to the vet just in case.
your dog is in pain take it to the vet asap or an infection could kill your dog
I would call the vet and see if they can recommend what to do.
If in doubt.. get it checked out. Go see the vet.
If you ever encounter a situation like this again, and it's bleeding, use cornstarch to clot the blood...it works like Styptic powder and is less expensive.
I had a Dog that had that happen and I took her to the vet and the doc said it was a tumor in the foot that caused the claw to loosen. I thought she just caught it on something.

So I would get the dog checked out. I had my dog for 16 yrs and I had no idea that a dog could get cancer in the foot like that. It spread and eventually my baby lost the battle. good luck.

How do I cut my yorkies nails? will it hurt her? How much should I cut?

This will be my 1st time cutting my yorkies nails, they are super long! However, will it hurt her? how much should I cut? What nail clipper do you recommend? She is 3 months.How do I cut my yorkies nails? will it hurt her? How much should I cut?
If you've never done it before, you may want to go to your vet and have it done. However if your puppy still has the baby nails - not too thick, you can actually just take a pair of regular nail clippers and take small bits off until they are the length you want. Be sure not to take too much off, as you will cause her to bleed by hitting the quick.

Some people say it hurts the nerves when you cut, but there's also a new file style pedicure for dogs that you can buy online.... it's what we use for our dogs. How do I cut my yorkies nails? will it hurt her? How much should I cut?
you can see a definate groove in the nail, where the nail is attached to the paw, its thicker and then it thins out.. only go as far as the thin part goes and no further.. or if they're lighter colored nails you'll beable to actually see the nerve in the nail dont ever go past the nerve if you can see it other wise the safest bet is to cut off a little bit at a time but never go further then that groove i mentioned before!! but you definatly dont want to damage the nerve( also known as the quick) because it will bleed, and can cause pain to your puppy!! Definatly use a small nail clipper for dogs!!they're shaped to help prevent damaging the quick!!

And, really if it's your first time, your best bet would be taking her to the vet, they'll also bealbe to explaine to you better on how to do it, and maybe even help you try!! =]
I would suggest either taking your dog for it's first nail clipping to a vet or a groomer. The fee is usually under $10. The person that clips the nails can show you exactly how to do it and even give you a couple of pointers to make it easier.
Take her to the vet. They only charge a minimal fee, like $8. The vet can show you how to do it correctly! Take the nail clippers you have bought and have the vet use those so you know how you should hold the clippers and such.

For those who have had a nail infection and you took Lamisil, did it work? How quickly? Any side effects?

I took it, had no side effects, and it took about 4 or 5 months

for the nail to grow all the way out and be healthy. the problem is, the infection came back about a year later. I need

to take it again.For those who have had a nail infection and you took Lamisil, did it work? How quickly? Any side effects?
i wouldn't bother. it really does not help and can affect your liver (especially if you drink or take any other medications)For those who have had a nail infection and you took Lamisil, did it work? How quickly? Any side effects?

I use black nail polish a lot, it but when i take it off it doesnt come off completly. How can i get it alloff

make sure you always use a base coat so its protecting your nails . natural nails stain like mad and dark colours tend to stain in the cuticle area and get all over you when removing it!!!

just make sure you use a base coat, you could even buff the nails before hand to smooth the nail bed out so it doesnt get trapped in ridges!! and always remember not to go too close to the cuticle area and too close to the skin around the nails :) use a good polish remover also, hope this helps xI use black nail polish a lot, it but when i take it off it doesnt come off completly. How can i get it alloff
pure acetoneI use black nail polish a lot, it but when i take it off it doesnt come off completly. How can i get it alloff
It's staining your actual nail; I don't think there IS a good way to get it all off, except to let your nail regrow. Black nail polish can also encourage nail fungus to grow and flourish; fungus LIKES dark places, you know. You might want to limit your use of the black to very short periods and give your nails a rest, some fresh air and sunshine. Won't hurt the rest of you either! :)

sincerely,

cryllie
take off as much as you can..then just wait a few days. it should eventually come off.
try a different kind of nail polish remover
Your best of first painting your nails with a clear, leaving to dry and then paiting with black. This way it won't stain your nails and will be much easier to get off.
it will probably take some time- but the next time you paint them black, use an undercoat and dont leave them black for so long between manicures, it sounds like you are staining your nails
Try using a good polish remover ....and you could get a fine buffing block at a beauty supply house to remove the stain............in the future .....Use a good base coat and then apply your polish ......and apply a good top coat to avoid chipping.......FYI you will not get fungus by wearing dark polish.....fungus/mold is caused by bacteria or moisture trapped either under a nail /or enhancement

How can I get my son to stop chewing his nails it makes me unable to cut his nails and they are very jagged?

you know i have the same problem with my 4 year old. he chews them way down and is ruining his nails. you can try this stuff its called thum, you can usually get it at any pharmacy, just ask for it. you put it on his nails and its supposed to taste really nasty and they stop doing it, or if your child is like mine he will do it anyway. i also heard you can use vinegar. i tried that also but my son claimed it was delicious. lol ive heard of people using cayenne pepper, black pepper or hot sauce. good luck with it.How can I get my son to stop chewing his nails it makes me unable to cut his nails and they are very jagged?
When my mother was growing up, she bit her nails once and her mother put tobasco sauce on them; she says she never bit them again. Try anything incredibly hot and it may work out well.

I had the nail come off with nothing but thee quick left it's a bloody mess and had to resort to superglue?

Superglue stopped it but it this goingto hurt him? He is trying to bite at the spplied spot?I had the nail come off with nothing but thee quick left it's a bloody mess and had to resort to superglue?
Let me make sure that you have this right. Your parrot's nail came off and it is bleeding? Well I wouldn't think that super glue would be the best option.

Check the super glue label and see what it says. That will probably give you your answer.

If possible, I would try to take the super glue off and then hold a cloth or towel over the bleeding spot. It should clot up eventually.

You can go out and get a nail polish for 99 cents in most drugstores if you look for it. Get a nail polish that is a little darker then your own nail color. Or if you want something more fun, get a nice summer color, a neon or just something pretty, apply your base and your polish and your top coat and your done!!CUte nail ideas? i want my nails to be cute and last a while..I wanna do it myself!?

If I put nail polish thinner in my nail polish will it ruin the efficiency of my nail polish?

If my favorite polish is getting a little thick I put a drop or two of polish remover in the bottle to thin it out. I also put a BB in the bottle to help mix the polish.

I just cut them off and they were almost 1.5'; long..My nails grow fast and very strong.If I put nail polish thinner in my nail polish will it ruin the efficiency of my nail polish?
No. i have doen it before to bring back almost gone polish in a bottle back to life, just put in a very little drop and go from there. i also have used it if the polish is too thick.If I put nail polish thinner in my nail polish will it ruin the efficiency of my nail polish?
Just put a little and it shouldn't. Why do you need to do that though? To make your polish dry faster without air bubbles, get some quick dry spray from Avon....works great.
No ,salons do that .
If you put a little you should be ok putting very little and mixing well. Don't over do it though cuz then you will ruin the polish.

Use a nail strengthener Revita Nails, many people I know used it and I have to say all of them would have great feedbacks about it.

Also ask them to buff lightly on the top of your nails and not to much. This can thin and weaken your nails.

Also they should be using natural nail filer.

Most salon buff to much or use the acrylic nail filer and that will cause your nails to break.My nails break! it is terrible. I had a manicure and I try to take good care of them?
There are special nail polishes in any local CVS that are designed to straighten nails. All you have to do next time you get a mani is either bring this polish with you or ask about their nail strengthening polishes. They can put this polish as a base coat, and then a normal color on top. Hope this helps =D
just be careful what you do. like...don't type on the keyboard, don't play sports, (though sports are amusing ^^) and don't get into fights. (lol)
Try using Dr Lewinn stuff. I don't have the same problem but I know someone who did. She started using nail hardener from Dr Lewinn (it's a brand) and now her nails are really strong and never break.
My mother swears by taking vitaming/mineral Biotin. My sister swears by eating peanut butter.
drink more milk or eat more yogurt... get more calcium somehow. That'll help your nails grow in stronger.

How long does it take nails to grow back?

Ok so I have a bad nail biting problem,where my nails on my pinky are almost 50% gone, and the rest of my fingers and thumbs, they are about 1/4 of a inch. How long will it take to grow my nails back if I don't bite them? Is there any good tips you can share to make sure I don't bite my nails? ThanksHow long does it take nails to grow back?
Bad Habit D:

Well each nail takes different amount of time to grow, the slowest on to grow it the thumb. You could use a special nail polish to re-grow your damanged nail. Eating and drinking calcium helps your nails grown stronger and faster ! Also makes your hair grow too (:

';Pick at least one nail to ';protect'; at a time.

After a few days, an non-bitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite it. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones. Sometimes it helps knowing that you have another nail to bite, even if you don't actually nibble at any unprotected ones.

Once you have grown your non-bitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. And another. And another, until every single nail is protected.

Eat calcium and magnesium - rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is the lack of calcium and magnesium in the body and the body needs that material back.

Push your cuticles back. Many nail-biters do not have ';moons'; on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting.

Find a habit to take the place of nail biting. Whenever you have the urge to bite, do that instead. Some people like to drum their fingers, or just stare at their hands. Just make sure it's not a bad habit; choose a helpful one or one that doesn't really matter either way. 'Bitrex' is a chemical that is put in products to make them taste foul, obtained from your local pharmacy. It's included in nibble inhibitors that you paint on to your nails. Carry some with you at all times. Apply your nasty solution several times a day. If you get used to the taste, choose another brand.

Distract your mouth. Eat carrot sticks to keep you busy. Keep a stick of gum handy for those weak moments.';

Hope this helps you in your situation. Goodluck.How long does it take nails to grow back?
I used to bite my nails. But then, while in high school, (I was probably 17) I just decided to stop biting them. And I just stopped.

We have free will, you know. Free will DOESN'T mean you no longer have a desire to do something...it means you do what YOU want REGARDLESS of any goddamn desire.

YOU are in charge. NOT your body.
For some people their nails grow really fast, and for some it's their hair, so there's really no telling. It shouldn't take more than a month for your nails to be almost done growing in.

Yep and is it OK to use nail clippers and also do i do both wings or just 1?

You didn't mention the bird breed.

Heres a guide with a diagram for wing-trimming, as well as nail trimming instructions from the National Cockatiel Society.

http://www.cockatiels.org/articles/care/鈥?/a>Yep and is it OK to use nail clippers and also do i do both wings or just 1?
Use what is best for you to do nails, but don't talk while doing the act. Birds know voices with the act. Always clip both wings. Never ever leave one wing undone without the other. Both wings should be clipped.

Whom ever clips one wing and leaves the other one unclipped should be in the next cell along with mike vick!!Yep and is it OK to use nail clippers and also do i do both wings or just 1?
Don't do it yourself. If you have to ask on a website about clipping wings you obviously don't know enough about it to do it yourself. take the bird to a vet and they will do it properly.

Please don't take offence. but if you do it yourself you could end up causing fatal damage to the bird.
Both wings. Cut only the primaries, the first 4-6 feathers on his wing. Use a sharp hair cutting scissors. Don't cut blood feathers; these have a waxy appearance on the shaft. If they do bleed, use syptic powder and pressure on the cut. Or, rip it out with needlenose tweezers. It won't hurt him.

Don't use nail clippers. Use a sanded perch.
You cut both wings using sharp scissors. nail clippers can be used for the nails, but it's better to get a cement perch., that way you don't cut the nails to short, and your bird will love you, not hate you for hurting it.

Anti spy prygrams, typically toolbars write viruses to your system to make you inclined towards buying their product. Its obvious you have a virus/s on your system. Follow these steps to get rid of them.

Go to start and run msconfig

Deselect eberything in the Service and Startup tabs - this stops the viruses from loading. You'll have to restart your PC.

Do a full system scan - Norton will get rid of the viruses on your system.

Run msconfig again and select everything in the Service and Startup tab - this reloads the virus/s and Spyware/Adaware.

Uninstall all toolbars and any other anti virus software thats left.
Go to start, run, type MSCONFIG. Go to the general tab, and look for your said program, it will list as a start up item. Just check the option. Selective Startup and uncheck the option Load Statup items, now you do not neet to worry, if something will go bad.

Is there a way to keep nail polish on longer than it actually stays?

im a male to female crossdresser and i painted my nails but learned that it dont stay on long before i gotta redo it and was wondering if there was a way to make it stay on longerIs there a way to keep nail polish on longer than it actually stays?
remove oil from your nail by using remover apply a base coat when its dry apply your colour 1 to 2 coats then apply a top coat re-apply the top coat every other day.Is there a way to keep nail polish on longer than it actually stays?
put a top coat on every day...then change colors very week
3 Instant Solutions:

1. Make sure nails are clean and dry before putting on the polish.

2. Add more than 1 coat. (I usually put on 2-3 coats). Let the base coat dry out first before putting on the 2nd. So on..

3. Top off with a colorless polish (2 coats) to seal-in your artwork. :)
try a base coat
Revlon has has a nail polish that stays on. I think it is called colorstay or something like that.
Start with a base coat. Then do two coats of your color (make sure that the first coat is completely dry before applying the second. Then finish with a top coat. I use Mary Kay Top Coat %26amp; Base Coat ($6 each)
I would probably recommend putting on a base coat and top coat. Good ones can be bought from Sally Hansen. (Local ';drug store'; as they are called in America, or cosmetics store)
Honestly, sweetie, all of the above advice you received is GOOD advice. The same advice the professionals would give. Buuut, it has never worked for me. (I am female) I can not get the darn polish to stay on no matter what. The best method that I have found is to get a set of gel or acrylic nails put on. Now, people will say that is bad for your nails. Okay, SO is constantly using remover and rubbing alcohol and all of that!!! From what you said, it sounds like you are in drag quite often to be concerned with the state of your polish.(and good for you!!) So getting a set of nails will hopefully not impede on your male lifestyle? I promise you will be so satisfied with the results!!! Your polish will stay F O R E V E R!!! Good Luck!
base coat...then top coat!!
After you put on your top coat, put a little on the bottom (underneath) your nail. Keeps it from chipping. Course your nails have to be a little long for this.
try cleaning your nails with rubbing alcahol fist to get rid of any oils and be sure to use a top coat.
base cover
Sometimes painting more than one layer works. Good Luck!
Before you do your nails clean it with a nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. After that put one coat of your nail polish on, let that dry and try not to do so much with them drying, then do a top coat. After that put a clear fast drying coat over that and let them dry. Make sure that they r all the way dry before you come into serious contact with anything though, because they may get messed up. :)
touch it up every now and then or put clear polish over it to keep it from chipping
Keep clear coat on at all times.
Try painting your nails the color you want them then once they dry go back over them with clear nail polish to make them shine and make the polish last longer.

Are concrete perches for my cockatiel bad for its feet? I know it is good for its nails? wont it cause lesions?

Why do i keep biting the skin between my nails, it really hurts

Ive got this terrible habit, when im doing it im usually in a day dream, i only notice when it starts to bleed.

I chew or bite the skin around my nails, usually each side of my thumb, it really hurts after, ive tried plasters, vinegar, and i just can't stop doing it, very much like when people bite there lips as a habit, what could i do, please no smartty assess saying chop fingers off, so not funny.Why do i keep biting the skin between my nails, it really hurts
I have the same habbit and it does really hurt! not to mention that it is so gross! If i were you i would try nail polish remover. it tastes horrible! you will not want to bite them if you put that on it. lemme know if it works!Why do i keep biting the skin between my nails, it really hurts
it's a nervous habit...i was a nail bitter but I successfully stopped for 32 days and the habit was broken...try as hard as you can to stop for about that amount of time. if you do then you should be able to quit indefinitely.studies have shown that it works
ya i know many people do that. just look at ur finger how horrible it is. think about when u r going to get engaged. ur fingers would look horrible. thinking this may keep u away from chewing ur fingers.
Perhaps wearing gloves might be an option.
You must have a nervous reaction

Are concrete preches for my cockatiel bad for its feet? I know it is good for its nails? wont it cause lesions?

I have always heard that concrete or textured perches are a ';must-have'; for cockatiels because they can keps its nails trimmed. But I recently read an atricle that said that concrete or textured perches can irritate the bird's feet and can cause lesions and other skin problems? is this true?Are concrete preches for my cockatiel bad for its feet? I know it is good for its nails? wont it cause lesions?
Wood and pumice perches are good for cockatiel's feet. They will exercise them and keep them in good condition. Concrete perches are good for keeping the nails trimmed. Sometimes concrete can irritate the bird's feet. You need to keep an eye on your cockatiel's feet if you use a concrete perch. I have one in some, but not all, of my parakeet and finch cages but I've never noticed any problems due to the perch. Don't use sandpaper perches because they are very hard on a cockatiel's delicate feet and can cause lesion, abrasions, and more. It's a good idea to have perches of different sizes and materials to let your cockatiel exercise all parts of its feet.Are concrete preches for my cockatiel bad for its feet? I know it is good for its nails? wont it cause lesions?
I consider them ';must haves'; for all of my parrots. I've had most of mine for over 12 years, with absolutely no problems what so ever. I haven't had to clip any nails in 12 years either.

Make sure you get the right size, and make sure it is the highest perch.
If it only has one perch that is concrete, that's good for the toenails. But if they don't have any natural wood perches. To be effective, place a concrete perch near the food/water and get other natural wood perches.

I hope this helps! :)
whats a prech ...Or do you mean pearch LOL

My thumb was swollen and it was near my nail what wrong with it?

the strange thing is u know how You bust a black head the stuff ooze out that how my nail is i bust it a lilttle and green stuff ooozed out is this bad My thumb was swollen and it was near my nail what wrong with it?
likely a torn and infected cuticle, you really should wash your hands more often. For now cover with a bandage and keep it clean, it will heal.

My friend has nail fungus on all her five toenails on her left foot how can she get rid of it?

my friend and i had a sleepover on saturday and i looked at her toenails and she says she's had the fungus under toenails for almost two years how can she get rid of it thanks.My friend has nail fungus on all her five toenails on her left foot how can she get rid of it?
She can put Listerine (the mouthwash) in a bowl and putting her toes in it for about 15 minutes a day. It should take care of it.My friend has nail fungus on all her five toenails on her left foot how can she get rid of it?
has she gone to the doctor, that's really not good, the longer she leaves it the worse it's gonna be and spread. Fungus is not a pretty thing, and needs to be taken care of immediately!
She should have her Parents take her to the Podiatrist, he work with all foot pr;oblems, there she should find an answer to the problem with her fungal neils.
By taking her to the doctors

For a woman smoker I have heard it looks best if your nail polish and lipstick match so it looks better when?

you bring your cigarette to your lips...what color would look best a bright or dark color?For a woman smoker I have heard it looks best if your nail polish and lipstick match so it looks better when?
Black like your lungs or better yet yellow like your teeth STOP SMOKING!!!!For a woman smoker I have heard it looks best if your nail polish and lipstick match so it looks better when?
my suggestion is to stick with more nuetral or natural colors.

like a shimmer peach polish and a nectar love gloss from MAC.

that sounds like a good match and looks sexy! especially if you do your eye makeup smokey. or with bronze
I smoke and I wear clear lip gloss and just a clear top coat. Although I am lucky enough to have naturally white nail tips. French tips look good. But if I did have to choose a colour I'd go dark, like maroon

ps. prepare for quitting smoking tips on this one!!!!
neither, most men I know (myself included) aren't attracted to smokers, but to be cliche, go with fire engine red if you need a color...
Honestly Linda what would look wonderful would be no cigarette and a healthy woman who can when and if she is ready have healthy children. I know you know smoking can kill you but did you know it can kill a baby too?
may be you shouldn't smoke.....I think that might be more attractive...

...but you knew that didn't you?

start fresh today, You can DO IT!

';do what you can do tomorrow today, do what you can do today NOW';

I know it is easier said than done......but just try.....see how far you can push your self....

...don't define what you can do or cannot do...
cherry red is HOT!!!

Why is it illegal for cosmetic-related products to claim they ';make the nail grow faster';?

It's illegal to claim that because it's impossible. Nothing can make nails (or hair) grow faster. It's called false advertising. But there are still companies that try to imply that if you buy their product, they will grow.

What the products can do is help keep your nails (or hair) stronger and healthier so that it doesn't break as easily. So using a good strengthening polish can help keep your nails in good condition so that they CAN grow, but it won't actually MAKE them grow.Why is it illegal for cosmetic-related products to claim they ';make the nail grow faster';?
I never heard that it was Illeagl because alot of nail polishes claim to make them grow faster such as Sally Hansen.Why is it illegal for cosmetic-related products to claim they ';make the nail grow faster';?
no. alot do it
Technically it is illegal since it is impossible for the products to actually help grow nails. Many older make-up books talk about this being false advertising and the various laws related to sales of these types of products. But it is not upheld in any way.
