How do i make my nails stronger??

My fingernails keep peeling. Layers come off... It's so bad. How can i stop them from peeling??How do i make my nails stronger??
my friend had weak nails too and than she started using


'; nail hardner.'; dsnt really matter what brand. it does exactly what its called.


really helps with harding nails.


you should be able to get it from your local pharmacy.How do i make my nails stronger??
when you file your nails, make sure you do it in the same direction, because if you go back and forth it creates cracks in the nail. filing them one way on each finger helps to keep them sealed, so they won't peel as easily.





i also heard that prenatal pills do wonders for nails and hair, i haven't taken them before but that's what my friends who have had kids told me happens after they took them.
cut them every now and then

    Any good ideas for acryllic nails?

    This summer im getting acryllic tips any good ideas?Any good ideas for acryllic nails?
    i got acryllic nails and instead of getting the white tips. i got hot pink!!!





    so, for the summer try a bright color instead of just ordinary white!Any good ideas for acryllic nails?
    well, whats ';in'; around here is instead of getting your tips painted white for a french manicure, get them painted a color. like pink. so substitute the white tips with pink tips. or even orange. a nice bright summer color...trust me it looks GREAT.
    i'm gonna get acrylic tips too, i think that a French manicure or bright fruity colors will look good , stay away from boring colors and dark colors- those are a drag and summer is about fun, so your nails should reflect the season. good luck!!!
    Yeah, don't get them. They're horrible...plus, they ruin your natural nails.
    well the typical white french tips are always never a wrong way to go, but since this season's fashion is all about the metalics, bright colors, and yellow, id try going into those colors. my opinion, i think gold tips would be gorgeous. its getting into the metalic feel but is just a touch instead of going all out with a gold or metallic mini dress. for the yellow, lemon yellow is funky and cool but its more of the buttery shades now. pastels are great too.





    hope this helps!
    well what i like to do in the summer is get regular white tips with an airbrush on the ring finger..i usually get palm trees!

  • Does getting acrylic nails hurt, and does it damage your natural nails?

    I want to get my nails done, and I don't want it to hurt. I'm very sensitive :) Plus I don't want to destory my nails.Does getting acrylic nails hurt, and does it damage your natural nails?
    As a nail tech, I would just like to point out a couple of things.


    If getting your nails done causes you pain in any way, and/or your nails are damaged in the process, then you are going to a bad tech. Nail services should NEVER hurt in any way. Ever.


    In most cases, the technicians who work at discount salons (Think Walmart's Regal Nails) are not experienced, are often untrained, and many times unlicensed. Thus, they are usually not qualified to do your nails. Add to that fact this point: They charge very low prices. In order to keep those prices low, and still make a profit, they do things which are not in the best interest of the client. One of those things is the use of the cheapest acrylic prioducts available, and often those products contain MMA. MMA is a substance which has been banned for for use on nails for over 20 years, and it WILL ruin your nails.Even worse, it can cause serious health problems. They still use this substance because it is a fraction of the cost of the approved products which good, reputable salons use. And, since MMA does not adhere well to the natural nail, they use a Dremel drill (NOT for use on nails, and illegal for such use in many states). To make it adhere, they will 'etch' your nails (rough them up) quite badly. For those of you who say that your nails are ruined from filing them, this is most often the reason why. A drill should never be used on your natural nails. Nor should MMA.


    See this video for more information on MMA, and also the other link on the dangers of discount nail salons because of their well known unsanitary, and often dangerous, and illegal practices:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hu7BLbl3鈥?/a>


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctld8mTZo鈥?/a>


    In short, getting acrylic nails done by a licensed, well trained, and experienced nail tech will not hurt you, nor will it damage your nails (in most cases anyway). Many people think that it is the acrylic which ruins your nails, and cheap products with MMA will do just that.It is often a bad tech who will ruin your nails.Does getting acrylic nails hurt, and does it damage your natural nails?
    yes %26amp; yes.
    it doesn't hurt to get them


    but it really does thin them


    i would suggest just a french manicure.


    they are cute
    ive had mine done twice, and the first time it didnt hurt at all. the second time it hurt a little only because i got a different person, and she used the buffer the wrong way. if you stop getting them done, if you take them off yourself your nails will be very thin at first. or you could just let them grow out and cut them off gradually. its worth it to get them done, i loved mine.
    If you are going to a licensed nail tech in a reputable salon then it should never hurt to get your nails done.
    It doesn't hurt getting them, but after sometimes it feels uncomfortable, you are getting something glued to your natural nail. It will damage your natural nail.
    They will destroy your natural nails. They will grow but they will become very brittle. It doesn't hurt to get them done though. Sometimes they feel a little sore the day after you get them.
    i only had them done once...i have really hard nice thick natural nails so i dunno why i did it ...just for fun i guess...anyways it ruins ur natural nails till they grow out...LOL once my natural nails grew out they were right back to normal...ithink its bullshit i dont think it permanently ruins your nails think of it you nails grow from inside your body...LOL its always new nails that keep on growing how can it effect that?????...that would be the same as getting a perm and burning all your hair and shaving your head bald and the new hair growing in bunt to...wouldnt happen...i think girls just lie and say it ruins their nails cos they have bad nails to begin with and like to pretend they didnt always have horrible nails...HAHAH
    It does not hurt if the nail tech knows what she is doing. Unfortunately, it can make your real nails thin because everytime they do a fill, they rough up your real nail to make sure that the acrylic adheres. Instead of acrylic, why not try gel nails of your tech does them. They are easier for the tech to do and are less damaging to the nails.
    No it doesnt hurt to get your nails done unless they do it wrong then yes it will hurt and your real nails become very thin and brittle and break alot
    It hurt when I got my acrylics done for the first time because I had some hangnails and I have pretty sensitive nails. They also hurt a bit for the first few days and it feels weird to pick up things. I took my nails off myself and my fingernails were pretty weak and ugly for about a month. If you are willing to get them done on a regular basis they won't be that bad because they do look really pretty.
    it doesnt hurt if they do it right


    it wont destrythem but they have to cut them down sometimes

    I want to paint my nails orange and black tiger stripes.?

    Do you have any links with pictures of black and orange nails. nothing too complicated please, i am not exceptionally talented at this, and i dont want to get the professionally done. help! please!I want to paint my nails orange and black tiger stripes.?
    TALENT isn't necessary..imagination is better. be bold, paint all nails orange and then add black stripes to each nail.. diagonally, horizontal, vertical checkerboard criss cross, etc. so that all nails are the same color but with each one with different black directions..BE BOLD!!!YOU CAN DO IT!!I want to paint my nails orange and black tiger stripes.?
    Just paint your nails orange first then stiripe them with black blotches of random nailpolish.. you can figure it out on your own ;)
    Here is a page with some steps you can try.
    1) Apply a base coat %26amp; Allow to dry.


    2) Paint a thin coat of orange %26amp; Allow to dry


    3) Paint another thin coat of orange and allow to dry.


    4) Get a black Vivid/Permenant maker and draw stripes with some waves a random splotches going in one direction


    5) Draw lines up if you have short nails and across if you have long.


    6) Apply two clear coats above and dry completley!


    7) you now have some pretty tiger stripes!
    polka dots would look sooooooooo cute. Paint your nails orange, then put black dots on them. :)

    How do you repair your nails from damage of acrylics?

    I love Sally Hansen's nail repair...it comes in a small clear jar with something that resembles a paint brush on the insideHow do you repair your nails from damage of acrylics?
    You cannot repair a nail. Nail is dead once its 1/8 of an inch out. When you get trauma marks (the little white things) of blood blisters, you will note they dont go away until your nail has grown all the way past that point.


    Acrylic is harsh because it strips away a layer of the nail and the bonding causes acidic damage to the nail so when you remove it you have to take even more nail off leaving it VERY thing.


    You can only let it grow out or try to seal the surface with something until it grows back out.How do you repair your nails from damage of acrylics?
    There is no real way to get rid of the damage. All you can do it grow the nails out. It takes a few months for you to see a difference.
    regular maincures will get them back into shape from the thinning or other problems from acrylics

    How do you keep acrylic nails from lifting...what are the best products to use?

    i am a salon owner and stylist, my nail techs use scrubfresh from creative nail instead of a primer before applying the acrylic, this dehydrates the nail the same as a primer and it does'nt sting the way primer does when it goes on your skin. apply scrubfresh to the nail after you have finished filing the nail, apply with a cotton ball and saturate the whole nail. this will definately help with your nail lifting problem.How do you keep acrylic nails from lifting...what are the best products to use?
    mine lastest like, 2 months. well actually, theyre still on as i type this, but i cut them so they are short, thick, shiny nails! well, salty beach water will contribute to peeling them away. hot water will somewhat do that while you're doing the dishes. i dont know how mine stayed on so well, i guess it was the way my salon lady put them on so well! you should remember to get them refilled also.How do you keep acrylic nails from lifting...what are the best products to use?
    the best thing to do is get a buffing board and buff the edges (the parts that stick up above your nails near the cuticle) even about once a week, buff the whole nail really good as well and change your polish at the same time. Also keep an acrylic refill kit on hand, these are really cheep and really easy to use, if you do the refills like every other week they stay looking perfect.

    I would probably go with green or red. But I seriously think that a frenchie would look really good with it!
    hmm....maybe you could try a french manicure that has different colored tips (maybe a green??!!) w/ a little design on one of the fingers (maybe gold??!!) that might look nice


    ...do u have acrillic nails?


    or you could ask the manicurist what she/he thinks might look nice...maybe bring in a pic of the dress so they know what the color looks like :-)


    goodluk and have fun!!!





    p.s. i've seen girls w/ french manicures that have pink tips w/ a silvery design on the ring fingers and it looked awesome!
    french manicure looks good with everything
    Well, I wouldn't do anything special with my nails if I were you, but if you really want to paint them, I'd say go for white, gold, or clear sparkly stuff. Green would match, I suppose, but then it'd be too much green in one outfit, and that might look a bit odd. Have fun at your prom!
    well go get a manicure and tell them to paint your nails a very light green color
    Nude colors are always nice. Your hands look great, and it doesn't take any attention away from your dress.

    How do you make your nails longer?

    stop biting themHow do you make your nails longer?
    Nail tips are a good idea however I don't like the residue left over frm the glue once I remove them so I don't use.


    First is keep nails away from mouth and don't file excessively along the sides of nails.


    Use a strengthener, a flat base coat, often called a ridge filler, a polish color and then a top coat. When nail color starts to look dull just re-apply another coat of color and top coat.


    Re-do entirely about once every two weeks.


    Try to avoid less expensive polishes as I have found that they cause you to have to re-apply way too often (daily) and chip allot.


    Learn good filing techniques to do between re-applications.


    Try to avoid situations besides regular dishes and bathing/showering and washing of hands, where your hands are in water alot.


    Last but not least a great suppliment to take that greatly increases nail and hair growth and just augments overall good health for hair, bones, nails, skin and teeth is a product called Silica Gel, bought at health food stores, in gel caps. Take three three times daily with meals.
    buy tips (fake nails) and glew them on. ... there are also nail strengtheners that help ur nails grow faster. =]





    good luck!

    Does the skin under your nails tan?

    I've worn nail polish almost everyday for a few years now and now that I want to go back to flesh colored nails, It seems that my nails are dull and white. I'm wondering if its because I've tanned a lot this past summer and the nail polish has blacked it from the sun or if my nails are just sickly because of my remove, polish, remove routine.Does the skin under your nails tan?
    Yes, just look at other tanned people and you will see that under nail skin has tanned also. And yes, polish will have weakened and made them dull.

    How can I remove acrylic nails at home?

    I dont want to pay if I can do it myself...How can I remove acrylic nails at home?
    I use pure acetone, purchased at Sally's. Soak and scrape until they're gone. Don't recommend pealing off because it will pull part of your nail bed. BTW, the acetone is great for removing nail polish. I don't use nail polish remover anymore because acetone removes it much easier and faster (use cotton ball). But, be very careful with acetone. It will remove stain from wood furniture and eats certain plastics. It also removes nail polish from your sinks and tubs, if you accidentally spill it, like I have! Bottom line, be patient when removing them. Watch TV and let them soak and scrape as long as you can. Then, buff the nail bed lightly to smooth out the roughness and apply a clear, vitamin or nail growth polish for the best results.How can I remove acrylic nails at home?
    Acetone based finger nail polish usually works really good with acrylic nails.Just put some in a bowl of some kind and soak you finger nails in it for about 30 minutes. :]
    soak them in pure acetone for about a minute - 5 minutes you can get at Sally's then peel off. :-) Follow with moisturizer.
    soak them in acetone for like 5 or so minutes until they are soft and then just scrap them off

    I find it repulsive to see a women with short ugly nails.?

    For those women who care for theirs my hats off to you. Was watching NBC morning show this moring and they showed a close up where you could see Meredith Vieira's hands. I about puked on the couch ';man-hands';. Any others feel this way?I find it repulsive to see a women with short ugly nails.?
    Wow. Where do I begin? First of all you should know that the majority of people on this forum consists of teenagers and women who let alone have any desire for beautiful hands and nails would much rather be sitting in front of the tv eating cupcakes and watching Springer. Then you have people like ';Aliken'; who is probably half man that will throw out the crap about hygien. Give me a break. If you do any research at all the bacteria is due to people not washing their hands properly. I have seen a study done where they compared the bacteria levels of a women with nails over an inch compared to a women like ';Alike'; with stubby man hands. What did they find? The stubby man hands had more bacteria under the nails. The study was done over and over again with different lengths of nails until they realized the reason why the longer nails in most cases had less bacteria was because the women took better care of their hands and nails and washed them more thoroughly. So basically your argument is dead in the water and actually falls back on you. Anyway back to your question King K. I have always loved long nails on women in fact I married a women who cares for her long nails. Hands are the first thing I notice on a women (not boobs). When I was dating many women found this a major compliment and loved it that I liked their nails. So King K the people on this forum are not the majority so feel confident your not alone.I find it repulsive to see a women with short ugly nails.?
    I work in healthcare where long, acrylic nails are absolutely forbidden. If you knew how much bacteria long nails carry, you wouldn't find short nails so ';repulsive';





    I like the look of long french manicures but natural looking nails are hardly disgusting. They're practical and more sanitary. Long, fake nails are a haven for germs and bacteria. The glue line where fake nail meets real nail is packed, PACKED with nasty things. Not to mention chips in the nail polish, and under the nail where it's hard to clean totally during handwashing. And people who wash their hands generally don't do it right to begin with, so I doubt that those girls you find so sexy are walking around with 98% alcohol and a nail brush in their purse so that they can scrub their nails to complete sanitation.





    And let's just ignore the sanitation of long nails, there are plenty of women who CAN'T wear long fake, polished nails. Nurses are just one of these. When I took my job at the hospital I was told absolutely no nail polish or acrylic. Let alone women who, like an above poster said, lift weights. Or groom dogs. Or work in daycare. Or hell, stay at home moms. Do you know how easy (and painful) it is to break a nail? Some women work in a profession or lifestyle where long nails are just not practical. They break too easy, or don't have the money to spend (a french manicure can run anywhere from 20-45 dollars for the first set and then 15-20 dollars every two weeks to refill). OH and IF they break, that's another 15 dollars, just to repair the nail, let alone the money they'd be spending on general upkeep.





    So think of this next time you're sucking on a girls ';sexy'; fake nail: When she has a bowel movement and wipes herself, chances are she didn't ';scrub'; her nails as directed and all that bacteria is just chilling there in the glue, the paint, the nail bed, oh, and your mouth.





    I'm not knocking girls with long nails, I used to wear them myself and yes, they do look a lot sexier. But if you're going to call people repulsive, at least know both sides of the story.





    Edit: Yeah, because my field forbids long nails, surely, I must be half man. That's a great argument, there. Which is even better cause I used to wear the nails myself until I took a job in nursing and realized that they just didn't work for me. Second, I'm sorry you have to resort to name calling to get your point across but no where in my answer did I point down on any one person or call anyone a name. There's really no need to turn a simple debate into high school name calling.
    I agree. Especially when you see these women on jewelry shows modeling rings etc and have nasty looking hands. I have to turn the channel before I vomit all over myself. Long nails when cared for look very sexy and feminine. It completely changes the appearance of a women's hands and all for the better.
    Its important to keep your nails looking neat and presentable and to have moisturized hands. But I have short plain nails and there's nothing wrong with that. Nails hold germs especially acrylic ones. I also wash my hands a lot and I lift weights so there's not point for me to have nails.
    You are nuts, I am sure you have plenty of flaws yourself. You go and try to do normal stuff with long nails, which you always must keep sparkling clean. You must be some 12 yo without any knowledge of life if you think women are Playboy perfect dolls.
    I only find it repulsive when it's disgustingly short. I have a friend who cannot stop biting her nails and it's so disgusting. She literally bites them until it's not possible for her to bite off more.
    wow, well erm no but everyone to themselves aye?

    Are 3'; deck screws good to use in place of 16d nails?

    I wanted to use 3'; square bids deck screws instead of 16d nails. Would it be safe?Are 3'; deck screws good to use in place of 16d nails?
    yesAre 3'; deck screws good to use in place of 16d nails?
    Depends on what you are asking of the screws. They are great for decks. They do not have good shear strength and the heads will pop off if screwed in too tight or without a pilot hole. If outside use galvanized screws or nails. Take an assessment of the requirements before deciding which item is right for the task.
    Yes.The pilot hole idea is good especially with 3'; screws, you don't want to get half way in and strip the head or driver. That can be a real pain. good luck
    I agree, If you're screwing into a 2 by framing member. I would also recommend a pilot hole so yo don't snap the screw heads off.





    Good luck
    most defintely.a screw will hold better and longer then a nail.

    What kind of foods that will help to grow out my nails?

    ....i rather eat something than rather put something on my nails. thanks!What kind of foods that will help to grow out my nails?
    milk and lots of things with calcium. also meats and nuts, things with lots of protein since nails are protein based.What kind of foods that will help to grow out my nails?
    Well... certainly milk %26amp; dairy will help, but if you are not against it - taking pre-natal vitamins will do wonders for growing out your nails, and make your hair healthy and stronger as well. It is safe, I asked my OBGYN because I loved the results!!

  • Is there a logical or psychological reason why people bite their nails?

    or what?Is there a logical or psychological reason why people bite their nails?
    In a nervous or stressful situation one can be conditioned to act out a habit during that situation in order to bring them ease. Thus the impulse to bite your nails may become a regular and subconscious activity during any situation due to the closure it brings(although that doesn't imply you're consciously aware of this closure) Other habits are picked up this way i.e. grinding teeth, picking skin, biting of lips/gums ect. These habits can become very obsessive and can go from being done when under stress to a regular activity in your everyday whether your bored, watching TV, talking, ect.Is there a logical or psychological reason why people bite their nails?
    Its a habit with some people. I sometimes bite my nails not out of nervousness but out of impulse and at times I'm not conscious of it. Its only thinking back on moments I am aware of it now then at the time so the psychological part of it is when the sub-consciousness comes into play when performing such habits.
    No, it is just a bad habit that gets developed by the brain. Some people do it all the time. Others just when their nervous.
    If you understand the psychology of the person who bites his nails, then all makes sense so there is logic like the person is stressed or has a very bad habit
    It has been said that people who bite their nails have a very short temper.
    i do it for comfort - that and i have a calcium deficiency so they don't grow past a certain point anyway...

    Is it true or false that if you cut your dogs nails too short, they can bleed to death?

    I doubt that he could bleed to death, but it could be a big mess. Pet stores and catalogs sell a product called Kwik Stop. You apply the powder to the bleeding nail and it stops right away. If you don't have that, you can jam the nail into a bar of soap - that works pretty good. If his nails are really long and are hurting the way he walks or splaying out his feet, you can have the vet sedate him and cut them back really far. Then, if you trim them once a month and file them, they should stay short.Is it true or false that if you cut your dogs nails too short, they can bleed to death?
    I've never heard of one bleeding to death. It does bleed quite a lot and is painful. I would be very careful. You can see the quick if their nails are a light color. I would leave the nail cutting to the vet. Groomers aren't always careful.Is it true or false that if you cut your dogs nails too short, they can bleed to death?
    THEY WILL BLEED SOME . IF YOU TAKE YOUR DOG TO TO THE VET. HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU AND THAT WOULD BE A LITTLE SAFER.





    HAVE A GOOD DAY
    It might be possible, because if you cut them too short, when they walk on them the open wound could keep coming open. If you could keep them off their feet... but most dog are like little kids. You just cant keep them still.
    dont cut them too short where they bleed o my god how retarted are you
    It may be possible if your dog has a thinning blood condition as the blood will not clot properly. If your dog is healthy the blood will clot eventually. You may use ice and/or direct pressure on the tip of the nail to aid in stopping the bleed.


    If you would like to avoid all of this, try using a flashlight and a pencil or pen to help you out. First use the flashlight to aid in visualization of the nail and the root. Next use the pen or pencil to draw a line just in front tof the nails root. Then take your clippers and cut in front of the line towards the nails tip. This may help you avoid any cutting of the nails root and causing a bleed.
    False
    False. I accidentally cut one of my dog's nails too short and he bled for about ten seconds, then he was fine.
    I have heard that, but I don't believe it. I accidently cut one of my dog's nails too short when she jerked while cutting them. She bled for a few seconds, and that was it.
    It is a possibility, because the nail actually wraps around a soft fleshy bit.. like our finger tips if you will permit the comparrison. He may not bleed to death, but he would bleed a lot and it would hurt like hell. The pads are another bad place to get a cut.. they also bleed profusely.
    i dont believe its true,i cut my dogs nails to short once and she did bleed ALOT, it was a mess..but i but some corn starch on the nail and it quit.. so no ..

    Kate's a very competent sort of name--think The Taming of the Shrew or Kate Hepburn. It also lends itself to toughness because it's got that hard-consontal beginning, and it's one syllable. You might likewise consider Cat.
    Kate Caldwell has a solid ring to it.


    It's quite versatile as a name goes because it can have different versions depending on who is addressing her. Kat, Katie, Katherine or even Kaz.

    What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?

    she hats when ANYONE gets close to her paws. she has never had no one hurt her to start that. she has always been like that.What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?
    I suggest that you do several steps: 1) desensitize her to paw holds every day 2) use a human nail file to just take down a bit of the nail while you work on a program to trim her nails 3) looking into dremmel (grinding) her nails rather then clipping/cutting. Less risk of getting the quick.





    Here's a 7min video about the process:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgEwiH8Ce鈥?/a>





    It's well worth your while to do desensitization and classical counter-conditioning rather then forcing your dog during a fearful situation.


    Most animal trainers of animals that can kill you such as giraffes, boar, elephants.... they take animal husbandry very importantly and do basic training everyday on these animals so that when it's time to actually do a procedure on a large dangerous animal they are more relaxed and learn how to behave during the procedure. I suggest that you handle her paws and do ';Mock'; nail filing every day PAIRED up with a really fun game or some really yummy treats. Switch her emotional response to this event from fearful/anxious to a more positive one.





    You can try teaching your dog to file their own nails:

    more on positive nail trims: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHgBvnQ71鈥?/a>





    If you really take the time and have the patience to help your dog enjoy the process then you will have a great time for the remaining of your dog's life - same goes for teeth clearning.





    Animal husbandry training for dangerous animals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7FE-UA2Z鈥?/a>What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?
    You can start by touching her feet all the time, and rewarding her when she doesn't react. Distract her with a treat while you massage them :) This is the best way to calm her down for nail trims.





    Something we also suggest to our clients is having a veterinarian perscribe a small sedative for dogs that are unruly.
    No drugs. You need to very slowly desensitize her to having her paws touched and handled. This may take weeks. Do it slowly; it may take days for each step. At first you need to just try touching the paw. Use treats for rewards--and bring out the good treats that she loves. Go from touching a paw to holding the paw. Then try to touch the nail. As you build up on this, bring the clippers near her, but don't touch the nail. Then later, aim to take the very tip from one nail. This will take time; don't rush it. If her nails get too long in the interim, you may want to take her to the vet or a groomer to have them clipped. You don't want her to associate anything negative at this point with you handling the paw. Nice long walks on the pavement can help keep the nails worn down and you won't need to clip as often. Good luck and remember--slow and steady.
    first try taking her for a long walk before you cut her nails(walking on pavement also helps to trim nails) and then give her some ';Rescue Remedy'; and it should help calm her.


    http://www.naturalcanine.com/html/rescue鈥?/a>





    Try doing one nail or so at a time and give her treats and praise, if that doesn't work contact a dog trainer or get it done by a groomer.
    You need to desensitize her to people touching her nails. Work in baby steps. Touch her paw give a treat. DO this throughout the day then separate her toes give treats. Repeat many time. Then touch the clipper to foot, treat. then Put pressure but not clipp treat, then clip and treat. It takes weeks but if you do little bits everyday you will get to the point of clipping.
    I distract my dogs by giving them treats when im clipping their nails or get someone to massage their neck while im clipping the nails. It totally relaxes my dog. There are also some calming pills that you can get from your vet that relax and calm down a dog. Talk to your vet about this
    Handle it for crying out loud. Is she biting when you try and cut her nails? Muzzle her. If not, just enlist the help of a friend, hold her down and cut the nails.





    ADD: Fluff muffins and bunny huggers........none of my dogs like their nails cut. Do I let that stop me? Whatever, people.
    Try using Pedipaws - it's a lot less stressful, and also greatly reduces the chances of your hitting the quick.

    some people say calcium deficiency ,others say to much calcium, i used to have alot , but now just a few ,and i dont drink so much milk now.
    Apparently it's an indicator of a lack of important vitamins and minerals in your system...The nails are dead cells so they are sort of a picture of what has been going on in your system the weeks prior to the growth.
    It says that you have a calcium/ vitamin deficiency!!
    ur body is in shortage of Calcium ... drink milk and eat eggs !
    I'm not sure on this one, but I remember someone telling me that it's because you need more calcium.
    lack of calcium
    Lack of zinc
    this condtion is known as leukonychia, and it is simply due to protein deficency. take protein rich diet regularly and them will disappear themselves.
    A small white spot that shows no raising or different texture is the sign of an old mild injury to the nailbed.





    A white patch that is raised and has some sort of texture is usually fungus infection within the nail.
    LACK OF CALCIUM...
    i got thus white patches..so annoying...


    i thing it's about lake of calcium...
    Those are areas where you've hit or put pressure on your nail. It is the equivalent of a bruise on your skin. It's no big deal, they just grow out with the nail.
    it could mean ur low in iron and calcium u could also be enemic
    It means a lack of Zinc in your diet, not calcium as most people say on here!
    I've heard it can be a lack of calcium deficiency or if you have knocked or damaged them also leaves white marks until the nail grows out.


    Hope this helps.
    lack of vitamin C
    this means that you have calcium deficiency.

    All you have to do is file it off with an emery board file...It should look white after, but that will fade in less than a week and you'll have normal looking nails. It is from polish, you will want to put a clear base coat on first to prevent it next time.


    Bleach and toothpaste will not work...lol In fact, full strength bleach will destroy your nails and ruin your hands.How to get rid of the yellowness on my nails and toe nails?
    If you paint them alot and its in a dark color then yes probably. I use a buffer its like a nail file with usually 4 sides to it. this smooths the nail and shins it. When painting your nails do a clear coat first. This helped my nails not yellow.
    i've heard using whitening toothpaste can help take the yellowness off
    yes and take it off with a VERY fine Emory board. be Gentle when you sand it away..don't rub hard.
    nail polish stains i get it real bad =P





    it will go away on its own soon and in future when painting your nails put a base coat down to protect them then the colour
    get a tub and look warm water and a 2/3cups of bleach and leave your hands soak for about 20 mins that should do the trick

    What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?

    Deficiency of Calcium causes those marks and taking these two Homeopathic Remedies will cure them without any side effects or Complications CALCAREA CARB and CALCAREA PHOS both in 30 potency take them half hour before meals thrice a day.


    Take Care and God Bless you !What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?
    its like a bruise on your nail. you hit it on something, and it disrupts the normal growth and it turns white for a while.What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?
    I was always told it was calcium....???
    White spots on the nails are very common and usually recur. These small, semi-circular spots result from injury to the base (matrix) of the nail, where nail cells are produced or imperfections when the nail is formed. As the nail grows these blemishes are pushed outward. Frequently the culprit of these spots is careless manicuring. These spots are not cause for concern and will eventually grow out.





    Another leading cause of these white specs is a diet that is deficient in zinc. You could try taking a zinc supplement and see if this clears up the problem.





    Sorry for being a little long winded. But hope this answers your question.
    i think it means you're not getting enough calcium. or some other vitamin.
    White specks on your nails indicate that there is some kind of imbalance in your body. A couple of possibilities (among others)...you may be deficient in the mineral zinc. It could also mean that you need to take a silica supplement. DO NOT TAKE these substances until you have been tested for any deficiencies/imbalances by a competent and highly qualified health care practitioner. They are not candy.





    If you eat a B.A.D. (Basic American Diet), it is very likely that you will have some vitamin and mineral deficiencies. You may benefit from seeking out professional help in the form of a holistically-oriented MD, naturopathic physician or clinical nutritionist as they will be much more familiar with this subject matter compared to the typical doctor, who gets virtually little or no training in nutrition or natural healing modalities.





    If you are suffering from any type of nutrient deficiency it's wise to address it now instead of facing more serious health consequences down the road. AND remember to eat a very healthy diet--organic foods as often as possible and avoid all sugar, processed food, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine as these foods will destroy vital nutrients.





    Remember--your good health is the most precious thing you possess...so get this checked out.





    Best of health
    Lack of calcium in your body.
    They are buildups of zinc in response to stress.
    That could mean your lacking in nutrition. You need to take vitamins.

    Kate's a very competent sort of name--think The Taming of the Shrew or Kate Hepburn. It also lends itself to toughness because it's got that hard-consontal beginning, and it's one syllable. You might likewise consider Cat.
    Kate Caldwell has a solid ring to it.


    It's quite versatile as a name goes because it can have different versions depending on who is addressing her. Kat, Katie, Katherine or even Kaz.
    Go with Sam.


    My friends name is Sam, and when she wants to sound girly, she can go by Samantha, but Sam is just a butt kicking kind of name!
    Maggie - old-fashioned maybe - always conjures a picture of Maggie Thatcher!! Maybe her folks were tories?

    What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?

    she hats when ANYONE gets close to her paws. she has never had no one hurt her to start that. she has always been like that.What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?
    I suggest that you do several steps: 1) desensitize her to paw holds every day 2) use a human nail file to just take down a bit of the nail while you work on a program to trim her nails 3) looking into dremmel (grinding) her nails rather then clipping/cutting. Less risk of getting the quick.





    Here's a 7min video about the process:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgEwiH8Ce鈥?/a>





    It's well worth your while to do desensitization and classical counter-conditioning rather then forcing your dog during a fearful situation.


    Most animal trainers of animals that can kill you such as giraffes, boar, elephants.... they take animal husbandry very importantly and do basic training everyday on these animals so that when it's time to actually do a procedure on a large dangerous animal they are more relaxed and learn how to behave during the procedure. I suggest that you handle her paws and do ';Mock'; nail filing every day PAIRED up with a really fun game or some really yummy treats. Switch her emotional response to this event from fearful/anxious to a more positive one.





    You can try teaching your dog to file their own nails:

    more on positive nail trims: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHgBvnQ71鈥?/a>





    If you really take the time and have the patience to help your dog enjoy the process then you will have a great time for the remaining of your dog's life - same goes for teeth clearning.





    Animal husbandry training for dangerous animals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7FE-UA2Z鈥?/a>What can i give my dog to go to sleep or at least by calm when i clip her nails?
    You can start by touching her feet all the time, and rewarding her when she doesn't react. Distract her with a treat while you massage them :) This is the best way to calm her down for nail trims.





    Something we also suggest to our clients is having a veterinarian perscribe a small sedative for dogs that are unruly.
    No drugs. You need to very slowly desensitize her to having her paws touched and handled. This may take weeks. Do it slowly; it may take days for each step. At first you need to just try touching the paw. Use treats for rewards--and bring out the good treats that she loves. Go from touching a paw to holding the paw. Then try to touch the nail. As you build up on this, bring the clippers near her, but don't touch the nail. Then later, aim to take the very tip from one nail. This will take time; don't rush it. If her nails get too long in the interim, you may want to take her to the vet or a groomer to have them clipped. You don't want her to associate anything negative at this point with you handling the paw. Nice long walks on the pavement can help keep the nails worn down and you won't need to clip as often. Good luck and remember--slow and steady.
    first try taking her for a long walk before you cut her nails(walking on pavement also helps to trim nails) and then give her some ';Rescue Remedy'; and it should help calm her.


    http://www.naturalcanine.com/html/rescue鈥?/a>





    Try doing one nail or so at a time and give her treats and praise, if that doesn't work contact a dog trainer or get it done by a groomer.
    You need to desensitize her to people touching her nails. Work in baby steps. Touch her paw give a treat. DO this throughout the day then separate her toes give treats. Repeat many time. Then touch the clipper to foot, treat. then Put pressure but not clipp treat, then clip and treat. It takes weeks but if you do little bits everyday you will get to the point of clipping.
    I distract my dogs by giving them treats when im clipping their nails or get someone to massage their neck while im clipping the nails. It totally relaxes my dog. There are also some calming pills that you can get from your vet that relax and calm down a dog. Talk to your vet about this
    Handle it for crying out loud. Is she biting when you try and cut her nails? Muzzle her. If not, just enlist the help of a friend, hold her down and cut the nails.





    ADD: Fluff muffins and bunny huggers........none of my dogs like their nails cut. Do I let that stop me? Whatever, people.
    Try using Pedipaws - it's a lot less stressful, and also greatly reduces the chances of your hitting the quick.

    the only thing that would be safe to use, without a prescription from your vet..





    would be bach's rescue remedy.. or DAP (Dog Appeasing Pheremones)





    It wont make your dog sleep, it just may help ease her anxieties abit.

    Buy medication that you can put on your fingernails. Then when you try to bite your nails, the taste will be so horrible you stop right away. Good Luck.What is the best way to get ur mind off bitein nails?
    Hand Sanitizer! It makes them taste bad! or lotion, makes them slippery!

    I have no Idea! I bite my nails too, and I am twelve also. When you figure out a way, tell me please!
    Chew gum. If you've got something in your mouth, you'll feel less inclined to bite your nails.
    Paint your nails with bright colors and it will remind you not to bite when you see the color on it. I was a nail biter too but have very beautiful nails now.

    What does it mean when you have white patches on your nails?

    Calcium deficiency, either too much calcium or too little. i suffer from that, i used to drink 6-8 pints a day. i love milkWhat does it mean when you have white patches on your nails?
    white patches on nails indicate that you are suffering from pinworm infection.What does it mean when you have white patches on your nails?
    some people say calcium deficiency ,others say to much calcium, i used to have alot , but now just a few ,and i dont drink so much milk now.
    Apparently it's an indicator of a lack of important vitamins and minerals in your system...The nails are dead cells so they are sort of a picture of what has been going on in your system the weeks prior to the growth.
    It says that you have a calcium/ vitamin deficiency!!
    ur body is in shortage of Calcium ... drink milk and eat eggs !
    I'm not sure on this one, but I remember someone telling me that it's because you need more calcium.
    lack of calcium
    Lack of zinc
    this condtion is known as leukonychia, and it is simply due to protein deficency. take protein rich diet regularly and them will disappear themselves.
    A small white spot that shows no raising or different texture is the sign of an old mild injury to the nailbed.





    A white patch that is raised and has some sort of texture is usually fungus infection within the nail.
    LACK OF CALCIUM...
    i got thus white patches..so annoying...


    i thing it's about lake of calcium...
    Those are areas where you've hit or put pressure on your nail. It is the equivalent of a bruise on your skin. It's no big deal, they just grow out with the nail.
    it could mean ur low in iron and calcium u could also be enemic
    It means a lack of Zinc in your diet, not calcium as most people say on here!
    I've heard it can be a lack of calcium deficiency or if you have knocked or damaged them also leaves white marks until the nail grows out.


    Hope this helps.
    lack of vitamin C
    this means that you have calcium deficiency.
    No calcium drink some milk peace

    What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?

    Deficiency of Calcium causes those marks and taking these two Homeopathic Remedies will cure them without any side effects or Complications CALCAREA CARB and CALCAREA PHOS both in 30 potency take them half hour before meals thrice a day.


    Take Care and God Bless you !What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?
    its like a bruise on your nail. you hit it on something, and it disrupts the normal growth and it turns white for a while.What causes those white specks that you sometimes get on your nails?
    I was always told it was calcium....???
    White spots on the nails are very common and usually recur. These small, semi-circular spots result from injury to the base (matrix) of the nail, where nail cells are produced or imperfections when the nail is formed. As the nail grows these blemishes are pushed outward. Frequently the culprit of these spots is careless manicuring. These spots are not cause for concern and will eventually grow out.





    Another leading cause of these white specs is a diet that is deficient in zinc. You could try taking a zinc supplement and see if this clears up the problem.





    Sorry for being a little long winded. But hope this answers your question.
    i think it means you're not getting enough calcium. or some other vitamin.
    White specks on your nails indicate that there is some kind of imbalance in your body. A couple of possibilities (among others)...you may be deficient in the mineral zinc. It could also mean that you need to take a silica supplement. DO NOT TAKE these substances until you have been tested for any deficiencies/imbalances by a competent and highly qualified health care practitioner. They are not candy.





    If you eat a B.A.D. (Basic American Diet), it is very likely that you will have some vitamin and mineral deficiencies. You may benefit from seeking out professional help in the form of a holistically-oriented MD, naturopathic physician or clinical nutritionist as they will be much more familiar with this subject matter compared to the typical doctor, who gets virtually little or no training in nutrition or natural healing modalities.





    If you are suffering from any type of nutrient deficiency it's wise to address it now instead of facing more serious health consequences down the road. AND remember to eat a very healthy diet--organic foods as often as possible and avoid all sugar, processed food, artificial sweeteners, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, caffeine as these foods will destroy vital nutrients.





    Remember--your good health is the most precious thing you possess...so get this checked out.





    Best of health
    Lack of calcium in your body.
    They are buildups of zinc in response to stress.
    That could mean your lacking in nutrition. You need to take vitamins.
    i also thought it was due to lack of calcium.

    How to get rid of the yellowness on my nails and toe nails?

    does it happen because of nail polish?How to get rid of the yellowness on my nails and toe nails?
    All you have to do is file it off with an emery board file...It should look white after, but that will fade in less than a week and you'll have normal looking nails. It is from polish, you will want to put a clear base coat on first to prevent it next time.


    Bleach and toothpaste will not work...lol In fact, full strength bleach will destroy your nails and ruin your hands.How to get rid of the yellowness on my nails and toe nails?
    If you paint them alot and its in a dark color then yes probably. I use a buffer its like a nail file with usually 4 sides to it. this smooths the nail and shins it. When painting your nails do a clear coat first. This helped my nails not yellow.
    i've heard using whitening toothpaste can help take the yellowness off
    yes and take it off with a VERY fine Emory board. be Gentle when you sand it away..don't rub hard.
    nail polish stains i get it real bad =P





    it will go away on its own soon and in future when painting your nails put a base coat down to protect them then the colour
    get a tub and look warm water and a 2/3cups of bleach and leave your hands soak for about 20 mins that should do the trick

    Try rubbing alcohol or scratching it off. Soak your hands in hot/warm water with epson salt first before you scratch it off.

    Face your fears!





    Country I come from will kick kids out of school for doing that (russia)


    In my culture its considered a mental weekness and parents REALLY give it to their kids for biting nails.





    One of my Ex's bit her nails and a few times I caught her, I made her tell me the truth about whats on her mind and I made her either FACE her fears or I took care of whatever was making her nervous.





    so yhe, the right guy, even if you tell him not to tell you how to live your life, will tell you and MAKE you stop.





    Otherwise, its just a bad habit you need to break, on the bright side, its not a physical addiction to Crack or Nicotine =)





    So break the habit!!! Break the Habit, you don't need any of that other stuff, you can just Stop if you have at-least a little bit of brains.
    if you go to your local chemist you should be able to find some stuff that is like nail polish-but is more liquid and doesn't show-if you can't find it go to the counter and ask, and if you bite your nails you get a really foul taste in your mouth that goes after a couple of minutes.. It worked for me!
    get a pocket nailfile and every time you catch yourself biting, just file them until they aren't ragged anymore, replace the bad habit with a good habit, worked for my i don't bite anymore and have great nails.
    try painting your nails clear so it tastes bad when you bite down. That or whenever you wash your wand scrape your finger nails across the soap bar so you have a thin layer of bad tasting soap under your nails. This is how I stopped biting mine. Hope it helps.
    Keep them clipped or if you're trying to grow them get them nail tips put on. Those can't be bitten.
    try putting nail polish..

    Has anyone got some quick tips to grow nice, strong nails?

    I used to have nice long nails but then in one day they all snapped off! I have tried everything from sally hansen miracle growth to drinking milk and taking vitamins. Has anyone got any tips on how to grow my nails back so they are strong and it happens quite quick?


    ThanksHas anyone got some quick tips to grow nice, strong nails?
    1. Don't Bite.





    2. Polish your nails with a nail hardener clear polish. Always keep your nails polished. If you prefer to wear color, put a coat of clear on first, then use color. If possible, put a top coat of clear on after the color dries. I'm in the process of getting a Kisse Girl polish line but until that comes out, I like to use Sally Hansen hard as nail polish.





    3. Don't pill your polish off. Use nail polish remover.





    4. Massage your cuticles with lotion once a day. This is the most important tip because massaging your cuticles stimulates nail growth. This really does work.





    5. Don't get acrylic nails because they file away the enamel on your nails which makes them thin and weak.





    6.Don't use your nails as tools to open or pry stuff like soda cans. Doing so will cause breakage.

    Hello,


    My nails are really strong. my friend are amazed with them. One tried to break it and it broke the nail varnish and not the nail (thats how strong they are) I file the edges regulary and when one chips file it straight away as this makes them weaker. Seriously eat/drink protein it really does help.



    This might sound stupid now but it works cos my friend as done it ..


    Eat a cube of jelly everyday..you will notice a BIG difference.


    My friend's nails are long and strong...they look really nice when they are painted!!


    Just try it out for a few weeks :)
    insert all fingers and thumbs into warm (you can re-warm in microwave) immerse them whole into horses dung, it has been proved to work is good for the environment, reduces carbon footprint and stops you biting them

    Why can't our teeth grow back like our finger nails?

    It's a slow day plus I'm curious to see what you people know.


    For your trouble, you get 2 to 12 points.Why can't our teeth grow back like our finger nails?
    Teeth are made up of different material then nails. You can't compare them, they are both specialized tissues with separate functions. Finger nails are abraded much quicker then teeth and so there is the need to replace them. Two sets of teeth is all we need in our life. Or at least WAS all we needed back when evolution was actively taking place.





    Hmm here are some observations regarding the previous posts:


    1) ';Teeth are like bones';. True but not entirely. You see, if you fracture your bone, it will heal. Teeth on the other hand do not heal themselves. Never heard, nor read, in any dental textbook about a vertical tooth fracture healing spontaneously. N.B. dentine DOES have some reparative functions but they are limited to formation of secondary or sclerotic layer. Not regeneration.





    2) ';Only parts can be restored, like the enamel';. By itself? No. Once there is a cavity in enamel then no matter what happens the body will not refill it. True that saliva continues to deposit calcium into enamel but that's not the same as healing.





    3) ';Nails are made from keratin (protein) which grows constantly until death';. Actually finger nails and hair continue to grow for a limited period even after death. Go figure ;)





    Dr. SamiWhy can't our teeth grow back like our finger nails?
    Teeth are not bones (or fingernails), but LIKE bones, they grow to a certain size and stop. Beaver's teeth, however, keep growing and are just worn down by gnawing on trees/bark... but we're not beavers. Teeth, unlike bones, can not regenerate themselves. That's why we have to take better care of them. You can't just put a splint or cast on them and expect them to heal themselves.
    besides the fact that fingernails are made of a different material along time ago humans usually only lived until about maybe 40 years old and humans today live longer and usually lose their teeth past that age so evolution figured we would only need teeth until about 40 so why use limited space to make uneccesary teeth
    Teeth are made from bone and cannot be regenerated.


    Nails are made from keratin (protein) which grows constantly until death.


    Your hair is also made from keratin.
    Your teeth are bones that aren't replaced; They are embedded in your jaw until they appear. Only parts can be restored, like the enamel. But the whole tooth can't.

    I've had acrylics for the last seven years. They look gorgeous if you have a good nail girl. If you are just getting them for your graduation and them taking them off, you should be fine. If you have them on for a long period of time, your nails are significantly weakened and brittle.Should I get acrylic nails? Are they bad for you? How much do they cost?
    i got them when i was 12 and only got them on special occasions but now that i'm 21 i can see how much they ruined my nails it to be 5 yrs to get them to look good on their own but they will never look as good as they did be for i got fake nails, i wouldn't start if i were you.
    20 dollars, once you get them you have to go back every week or so to get them filled in. When you get ready to take them off, they thin the nail, scar them, and sometimes a fungus infection can develop. Just go to the salon and have them to design your own nails.
    They can be bad for your nails if they're not done right because they use a machine to make your nail rough on top so the glue sticks to them. If you're not planning on keeping them on for a while, I wouldn't bother. you need a fill-in about every 2 weeks unless your nails grow really fast. They look nice, but they're pricey. I'm in Alabama and they cost about $24 for a full set, and about $15 per fill-in. The price varies from state-to-state and city-to-city as well. But it's an expensive upkeep regardless.
    I'm no help as far as the cost. But I can tell you that two of my daughters had them done. They fell in love with them so decided to have them done a few more times from a very reputable, clean salon but when they removed them that last time they realized that their own nails had become discolored, split, and just plain messy looking. The gals at the salon said that happens with several people. Needless to say they've never had it done again. Hate to throw water on something you'd really like to do but checking it out first is a good idea.
    they are horrible for your nails. my aunt has them and one fell off and her nail was sooo damaged. they are not very cheap either. they are 12-30 dollars for 10 nails.
    It all depends on your nails....are they weak? because if they are the acrylics will damage your real nails and it will have 2 look bad for about 2 weeks...because thats how long it takes for the nail 2 grow from the bed to the top... Oh and you already know to be careful...but I'll give some personal experience. I went to a nail shop and the tech was apparently having a bad day so she filled my skin off from the side of my nails, I didn't realize it untill I went to wash my hands when the pain struck. Also I got my nails done then when she told me to go wash my hands as part of the process the bathroom and were they kept their equipment was digustingly dirty. Just make sure you go someplace were they are known for cleanliness and doing a good job. Also dont do gel nails because they will fall out before you have them on for a week if they use the real gel nails because now people are starting to mix acrylic with gel nail since its easier to do...Good luck.
    you are to young you will ruin nails...you can also get a affection!
    those fake nails can ruin your real nails. So i wouldn't leave them on for too long.
    Ultimatly it is up to you whether or not you get them...I just got acrylic nails for the first time lst week and at the end of it all I ended up spending about $30. They take awhile to get used to but they are fun to have. Look at this way...if they were really bad for you then not so many people would have them...they are only bad for you if they don't clean teir instruments well. have fun...
    Acrylic nails will damage your natural nails and starve them from nourishment. It will dry out and become irritated. You should stay away from acrylic nails especially at your age. Try some nail stickers and glitter polish:)
    A good set is about 30 dollars. They are bad if they scratch up your nails too much to secure them. They grind into your nails to secure the nail and can ruin the nailbed. If you want them on temporarily-- ask them not to grind, that you won't be getting them refilled. It can be quite painful if they grind to far down so be careful.





    Just do one thing: Dont get super long tacky nails. UGH. totally trashy.
    Use Lee press on nails. In order for them to place the acrylic nail on they have to sand down your original nail to an almost paper thin consistency. This leaves the nail very thin and prone to bacteria. If the salon does not use sterile techniques you can end up on the bad end right off. you have to continue to keep them filled in each month. Original cost is 30-40$ and then 12-20$ for fill ins. You say your 12 and I'm sure very active physically and do you have any idea how painful it is to break one of these babies. You can not just decide to have them on for an occasion and then just take them off. It is a commitment. When you do take them off your nail are so thin and will have to grow back to normal in due time. If the salons are not using sterile technique the end results could be lost nails for ever. Use the Lee press on nails

    Can you use your nails to use the touch screen on omnia?

    i was looking at getting the omnia from verizon wireless but i was wondering is you had to use your fingertips or if you could use your nails on the touch screen?Can you use your nails to use the touch screen on omnia?
    Yes, the Samsung Omnia has a pressure sensitive touch screen, meaning you can use anything to activate the touch screen. I personally prefer heat sensitive touch screens (like the iphone) and am waiting for Verizon to release a heat sensitive touch screen phone.

    What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?

    Sometimes it just makes me feel better... That doesn't make me gay does it?What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?
    you're not gay unless you're into GUYS.... and not all gay guys have their nails done! so if you are wondering if you are gay.. ask yourself if you are attracted to guys more than you are to girls.





    but are you getting colors? or just a clear coat? and are you getting a full set.. like fake acrylic nails? have you asked any of your girl friends about it? but if you are getting full-on manicures with the acrylic nails and colors...... i might find it a little weird... but then again... also jealous because your nails probably look better than mine ;p





    but i definitely don't mind a guy with clean and well-kept nails.. fingers or toes ;)What do girls think about a guy who gets his nails done like a girl ( full set of fingernails and polished)?
    Of course it doesn't make you gay. Gay means when you like other guys. But I have to admit it would make you appear gay. Don't worry about what people think, it makes you feel good. If its makes you feel than by all means keep doing it. Besides, girls like guys with clean, nice nails (at least I do). Don't worry about it, be yourself.
    If a guy gets a full set with color, he's usually either gay or a crossdresser. And I do mean ';full set'; like acrylic tips. Even without the tips, men who get color on their nails usually fall into one of those categories. The only exception I've seen is punk, goth, etc guys painting their nails black. And then, they don't GET them done, they do them theirselves. Metrosexual guys are known to get their nails done and such, but usually it's just a manicure, maybe with some clear polish. A full set with color? That's definitely a girly pick-me-up.





    For you to feel that girly pick-me-up and be unsure enough about it to ask this question, maybe you should take a look at yourself and see if this is something you want to look into. Good luck!
    :-D








    :-D











    LOL.........sorry, can't stop laffing!
    That's what some people would call metro- or metrosexual. If you like it, do it. It's not something that I would do, but that's your life. If people don't like it, tell 'em to go get stuffed!!!





    Being gay means you like other men, instead of women.
    I don't think that means you are gay.


    Gay means you like guys, not clean nails. Goodness.
    I heard of straight guys doing it, just haven't seen any. Kinda like Bigfoot.





    If you're not gay, you're definitely a little too metro.
    MOST GIIIRLS THINL HE'S GAY...


    (BUT NOT ME)
    Acrylic nails? O_o


    if so, then yes.
    It sure does!
    i'm gonna say gay. but you COULD be metro
    Girls are gonna think you are gay wheather you are or not. There is no way I would even think about doing that.
    I guess you can get it like once in a while. and i mean a WHILE. cause guys dont take care of themselves and they tend to have really gross feet. not so much hands though.
    dude i think that's gay..
    I don't know if you are gay or not, I mean in order to be gay you have to like other men. You are the only one that can answer that question. I do think you might have gender identity issues. Do you also like to wear anything femine or dress that way to ';feel Better';, do you identify more with females than males ? Maybe you should talk to a professional, so that you can sort through your confusion~


    Good luck!
    umm.... probably.... no offense, im a guy, and ive never had that weird desire. hmm... i would have 2 say grls thinks its gay.
