Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?

My nails seem to grow strong and hard, but it seems that as soon as they get to the perfect length and look great, they all start breaking! I use a good protein strengthener regularly....... what else can I do? They'll break at the base- horizontally about half way and then the whole thing will come off soon afterwards.Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
It's all in the care. I use Sally Hansen's complete care once a week. It's available at most drugstores for $12. Before I use to be like you my nails would grow out then break off, and so I did a little research. Proper nutrient gives your body what it needs to maintain strong and healthy nails. Also don't use your nails to pic at each other (I use to have this bad habit) it makes the nails weaker, just use the nail pic on a metal nail file. Also when you need to file your nails only file in one direction this will keep them from getting weak. I also like to cut mine once every 3 months in order to have them grow out healthy again, by doing this they keep growing back stronger than before. But if you do cut your nails don't do it too often because cutting your nails with a nail clipper creates shock to your cuticles, which in the long run isn't good for the nails. Instead if possible just file them, but as I said before in one direction. Also don't change your polish (if you choose to polish your nails) too much, it doesn't really help the nail because when you use the nail polish remover to remove the polish it dries out the nails. Finally when ever exposing your nails to water for a long period of time (say a shower) the nails feel weaker so I would suggest to avoid anything that might put your nails at risks for a few minutes after exposure to water.Hope this helps!Ladies with long natural nails: How do you keep the nails from breaking once they are long?
i have long nails, for years I have soaked my nails in a half solution of water and vinegar. Usually while watching TV (then I dont munch on anything either) Its safe and natural. You can save the solution for repeat uses in a jar....You can also recycle the solution by using it to wash a mirror or windows.....





another suggestion might be that your problem is you are lacking vitamins





either problem can be fixed
you know i had the same problem as well, my nails would always chip from the bottom.. but i never used a nail strengthener..one of my friend advised always keep ur nails painted with any nail polish, but just always keep them painted, because that some what helps prevent the nail from chipping off..maybe you do keep your nails painted all the time.. but maybe another advice would be.. don't grow them super long..try to keep a normal okaish Length because if ur nails are long there gonna break some how sooner or later.. sometimes nails don't have to be really long to look good.. i guess i would say.. try to keep them at a okay length where there wont be no worries for them chipping off.. hope it helps..
you can't
ya why is that

How can I grow long beautiful nails?

I'm getting married in two months and my finger nails are short and brittle. I don't like fake nails they just hurt my natural nails even more. So can you suggest some remedies for long strong nais?How can I grow long beautiful nails?
keep em healthy and watch out for things that can brake them.How can I grow long beautiful nails?
Always make sure you have a coat of nail strengthener on. I believe there's a couple of good ones by Sally Hansen. As they grow out, keep them shaped so you won't catch them on stuff. Also, a friend of mine swears by orange juice! Even if you aren't able to grow long nails for the wedding, a good manicurist can make them look nice. I just got married in August and trust me- your nails are going to be one of the last things on your mind on your wedding day! Good luck!
Drink milk.





Take calcium pills.
take biotin or a hair nails and skin viatamin suplament
There is an ad on tv for a nail polish called Green Tea stimulator and it makes short nails grow longer in just five days! You can get it at Wal-Mart, Target and K-mart in the cosmetics section. It works!!!
they make a nail polish that makes your nails grow and keeps them strong! Hope you have an amazing wedding and marriage!
Start from within, take a multivitamin supplement coupled with a well-balanced diet.





Then, refrain from putting nail coats. If you ever have to put one, be sure to take them off after 3 days so your nails can breathe and won't turn yellowish.





Thirdly, dont use your nails as tools.





Lastly, if you want to go natural, Put some garlic juice on it. That will make your nail strong but the growth still lies on your inner health.





So there you go! Hope I did help...

Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?

This dog does not allow nail clipping. Although she is walked frequently on the road, they won't wear down. I am sure it is painful to the toes of the dog. Can she be sedated and the nails be cut past the quick? How painful will it be if that is recommended by the vet? They are like really long, and desperately need to be cut. Any suggestions about this?Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?
The nails should not be cut anywhere beyond the quick of the nail.





What does the trick for my mom's dogs, recommended by veternarian, give the dog a little benadryl. But do not give your dog anything without consulting with a licensed veternarian.Cutting very long nails on a dog? Even with the quick at the tip of the nail?
I think the best thing to do would be to take your dog to a groomer and ask there opinion. Some groomers have calming agents that calm dogs before clipping nails. Cutting the nail behind the quick would be like cutting your finger nail right back behind your quick. It would really hurt her. If the groomer has no suggestions take her to the vet.
Yes, they can sedate the dog to do it.





Some dogs have long quicks, like mine.





You have to start cutting them back little by little to wear down the quick, without it bleeding like crazy.





They may file it down as well, which is a bit less scary and painful for a dog.
We finaly found a groomer who had been doing it for 30 years-we tried -but doggie hated it-we took her to a vet-they cut it too far back and hurt her-I THINK THE PROFESSIONALS DO A BETTER JOB--- LOVE DJ
OH boy, you do have a problem. You may need the vet to help you on this one. BUT...try giving the dog a warm bath and then clipping just the tip of the nails while they are still very soft.there should still be a bit of non-quick tissue there. Have someone help you by giving treats or putting peanut butter on their fingers for dog to lick off ( a great distraction). Then in a week, do it again and keep repeating until you get them down. Or, if you have to have help from the vet this time, try the bath and peanut butter trick in a few weeks. If the dog begins to associate nail-cutting with something good happening it will help a lot.
dogs nails should be clipped WEEKLY,, how long did you let this go???





get a dremmel and file them little bit, every other day or so til the quik recedes.. and do not neglect them again
The vet can definitely sedate the dog %26amp; cut them down quite short.


It won't hurt the dog at all.


If she were awake when the vet cut them - it would be a very quick ';ouch'; - the pain would disappear in just a second.


But - for the dog's sake - and for the vet's - make it easier on both of them %26amp; have her sedated.


One of my friends ALWAYS has her dog's nails done this way as he won't tolerate having his nails cut. Have the vet cut them REALLY short. That way it has to be done less often.

How long do nails have to be to get acrylic?

I bite mine, I don't wanna anymore. So, I would like to get acrylic. How long do nails have to be?How long do nails have to be to get acrylic?
They can be as short as you make them. Thats why people get them to get longer nails. I always bite mine too and I get them sometimes. They sometimes cut them anyway if they are too longHow long do nails have to be to get acrylic?
You can get them even if they are short and you bite them. often it is a good idea to get acrylic to help kick the habit. The process includes the technicians putting tips on your nails made of plastic. and then there is acrylic placed on top of the tip and your nail. This gives the illusion of longer nails.you can get them as long or as short as you want.





i recommende pink and white because it won't chip as often as a regular manicure or nail polish will. And they are thick and last against bumps and chews
it doesnt matter how long they arre at all.


you can get them


itll be finee
it doesnt matter how long they are. they can be short. the nail person is going to clip your nails anyways.
doesnt matter i bite mine too and i get mine done
not long at all. they can put tips on first, then the acrylic

    as long as they aren't too long.


    I'd rather have a well taken care of nail, then a fake nail. I hate girls who have just scraps of paint left on it. Either take it off, or reapply, don't leave scraps of paint on your nails.. that looks trashy.
    Depends on her current style and what she's wearing etc. Usually too long dusnt look good. Slightly long looks good. And short is just normal. I just dont like it when they bite them too much. That makes em look like crap. Filing wud be better.
    well i know im not a guy


    but personally i dont like it when girls have long nails, especially if theyre natural


    and i think fake long nails look trashy
    i hate it i think its ugly and i hate when they wears nail varnish i think thats really ugly too i hate that
    Whats long?


    A little long is sexy, if your into girly girls.


    Too long is trashy.
    the look is sexy but makes me think you don't work for a living. I can't picture a job were long nails last long.
    Girls with long hair a stuck up.
    as long as they arent as short as mine ur okay....but i dont like em too long
    depends on how long. longer than an inch. EW! half inch, okay, a quarter of an inch is great!
    I don't really like it.
    My nails are kinda longs, but i keep biting them so they cant get loonger! LOL

    How can I get long nails?

    I have really short, raw nails because I bite them all the time. All of my mates have really nice long nails, and my mom keeps going on at me to grow them. But how???


    I also need it to be quick!!!!How can I get long nails?
    Everyone thinks my nails are fake but their not! and I use something really cheap and nice. If anyone you know anyone that sells AVON tell them to lend you the book, then you might see a pink nail polish but is not to paint nails is to make them grow! It works so awesome! I finshed 3 bottles of it!! Trust me! And they are super long, healthy, strong and beautiful!! I love my nails!! :)How can I get long nails?
    don't bite them.


    they make special nail polish for that or just put on clear nail polish (if that would work for you)
    dont clip them

    Should guinea pigs have long nails or do they have to be clipped?

    You need to clip their nails. The nails will curl under and make it uncomfortable for them to walk. Do not cut them too short or you will cause their toes to bleed. If you need help take the pig to the vet to show you how. Good luck!

    They naturally come off in 3-4 weeks. I don't know if there's a faster way, but you can get them shortened to make the typing easier.
    there really isnt a good way to get them off


    so you can go to the nail place and they can take them off


    or pull them off


    or soake them yourselfs
    like a month in a half but you have to be carful with the tools they use or bring your own because some peoplee get infected

    What do i do to keep my nails long and unbreakable?

    I see alots of woman with nice long nails that are strong and are theirs, what do i do to keep my nails like that very long and strong? because my nails are weak and every time it gets big it ends up breakingWhat do i do to keep my nails long and unbreakable?
    There are several things you can do; acrylic nail overlay or nail hardeners: like nail tek brand, nailtiques, or any kinds of nails hardener. You can find them in any beauty supplies store.





    Acrylic overlay is another suggestions...


    That is called acrylic overlay, just on your real nails.... no tips attached (you can tell them this, and they will know). The acrylic overlay is to prevent your nails from breaking. The acrylic also help your color polish or french manicure to stay on longer. So, yes having acrylic over your nails can help. Another, suggestion if u have really good nails it is sometimes best to just have a manicure and add nail calcium's on your nails 3-5 times a week to help your natural nails to grow stronger and healthier. Sometimes, depending on where and who did your nails, it can be risky. Always, make sure to go to someone that has a high recommendations. Not, all nail technician technics are the same, some are better than others. Here are some tips:





    TIPS:





    *Going to the mall to get nails done can lead to a bad job, cause of the high traffic flow, nail techs tend to rush through.. your nails if they are busy. So, you might get a bad job.





    *Make sure they are highly recommended. If you are thinking about getting your nails done ... asked around, even when you came across someone with nails on, Make sure to ask, even if the nails looks good or bad. That will help you to see their works before consider going there.

    I am trying to grow my nail, but it has been a week and 1 day, and they all have white tiops, but arent very long. Is there anything i can put on them to make them grow longer, stronger and quicker??How can i make my nail longer?
    You can buy nail strenghtener (From Boots...)


    Etc...





    ByE^^How can i make my nail longer?
    Instructions


    Things You'll Need:





    * Manicuring supplies


    * Nail toughener polish


    * Vitamin D supplements





    1.


    Step 1





    Increase blood flow to your fingers. Blood flow increases the fingers' overall heath and ability to allow your nails to grow. You can increase the blood flow by doing daily activities which will push the blood into your fingers. Things such as typing, playing the piano or lots of filing will pump the blood in and make your nails happy and healthy.


    2.


    Step 2





    Increase the protein in your diet. Have a protein shake or eat more lean meat. Diets low in protein cause the nails to weaken and break, which will ultimately slow their growth process. Or take a vitamin D supplement daily, as this will provide the added protein needed. The best food to choose? Milk. A glass of milk daily will strengthen your nails as well as promote growth.


    3.


    Step 3





    Stay in a warm climate. Nails grow faster in warm climates than cold weather areas, because cold weather decreases blood stimulation and blood pressure. Nails grow fastest in summer, so take advantage of the summer months. To mimic warm weather try wearing gloves and keeping your hands warm at all times. This will increase the blood flow and stimulate growth.


    4.


    Step 4





    Use a nail toughener or nutrient-filled polish. There are tons of different polishes out there. Sally Hansen makes a great nail toughening product that has nutritional supplements added in. Apply a layer of polish weekly. For expedient growth, apply a layer nightly. The nutrients will promote nail growth.


    5.


    Step 5





    Give yourself regular manicures and pedicures, or go to a professional for regular treatments. Proper maintenance is always good for the nails and will help keep them healthy. Be sure to only file in one direction, so the nail tip isn't weakened and prone to cracking. Good luck!
    First off, get a glass nail file. Regular emery boards cause your nails to peel and make the edges raw. When you get your glass nail file (they're pricy around $20 or so, but they last forever) shape your nails and file them to equal lengths. I personally prefer square, but any shape is good.





    Now, get a nail treatment. I love Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II it's around $10, but you can find them at outlets like Ross and TJ Maxx for around $6. If you're not willing to shell out that much money try Sally Hansen hard as nails, but it's not as good in my personal opinion. Oh, and Nail Tek Foundation is really good, too! It's $10 though.





    You also need a cuticle remover (I like the Sally Hansen gel remover - it's green) and a cuticle cream. (I like revlon) Remove your cuticles per instructions and then massage your cuticles with the cuticle cream. You should massage your cuticles every day.





    Now, polish your nails with you treatment. Then go over with two shades with your choice of nail polish, and finish off with a top coat. Refresh your manicure at least once a week.





    Nail care is an investment, just like your hair and makeup. Your nails should strengthen with your treatment, but they won't grow faster. They'll be stronger and break less which will allow you to have continuous growth. However, if you want to make your nails grow faster try Sally Hansen Maximum Growth plus. It made my nails grow faster, but it didn't strengthen them at all. They broke off in like two weeks. :(





    Oh, and here's a great nail board for advice:





    http://www.makeupalley.com/board/j.asp?b鈥?/a>
    i bought biotine pills from gnc , and i actually got them to make my hair grow faster but their also made for your nails and skin , and now i have to cut my nails every so often , nvm crilic nails now cause id have to get a fill in every week.
    Yeah, go to the beauty section of a store and find the place where they keep the nail things. There should be a small bottle of something to help your nails grow. I think one of them is called ';Hard As Nails';
    You can buy nail strengthening solution in boots and nail growth solution.
    you can buy vaseline at your local stores and rub them on your finger every other day. it really works!!
    soak them in olive oil for alittle bit. Like about 5 mins or less.

    it's disgusting to keep your nails long either you are a woman or a man! it's unhygienic!Do you think its okay for men to grow their finger nails long?
    It's o.k. if they they are o.k.





    I'd imagine they would be rather annoying, but if some guy wants to have long nails I could care less.
    NASTY








    youd be shot in the USA with that crap!
    Maybe not long, but they shouldn't have to keep them supershort,either,though. Just enough to scratch themselves or open CDs,etc.
    This is a matter of opinion. I personally don't like a man with long nails. Unless he's a master fly tier for fishing flies, there seems to be no point.
    its your body so do what u want dont listen to anyone else.its fine with me
    No! Just like it's not okay for men to not wear deodorant. It's gross and shows poor hygiene. And just because European men do it doesn't make it chic (they also wear speedos). Keep your nails short and clean. I have no problems with men getting their nails done, but PLEASE leave it at that!
    for me i think its so turn off when guys grow their nails. Because its disgusting and its OK if its a girl who grow their nails long, that's why they make manicures for gals. But, if its a guy its not a-OK. that's why I always tell my guy classmates to cut their nails if they want to get a gal. seriously.





    guys who grow their nails must be Gay. but sometimes they say they don't have time to cut their nails.
    nooo! its disgusting. why do yo wanna do that in the first place? it doesnt look good at all.
    sure if he feels comfortable growing them out. Personally, i don't think anything is wrong with it, but that's just me.
    its ok, i dont pay much attention to their nails. but whats up with these hats?? every avatar seems to be wearing them now
    western society has different standards.


    I keep mine trim and near. And clean.


    The dirty under the nail is digusting.
    There's something really disturbing to me about a man whose hands are prettier than mine...
    in my opionion i would say no.... i really think they should be kept short and just a little long.
    If your in eastern asia i suppose its okay. But I think a men should have short AND clean fingernails.

    A lack of calcium is generally what causes the nails to be weak and brittle. Drink milk other wise try taking some calcium tablets. I used to have weak nails till i found a good nail strengthener, OPI start to finish is really good or any of their other products, I've tried everything on the market and nothing works like OPI, it's worth it.

    Eat healthy foods. Take food supplements like vitamin A, B, C, D, E, and minerals. The best natural source is fruits and veggies. Stay away from fast foods and soft drinks. Drugs and booze make your nails brittle.

    How do you stop long nails from chipping?
    Use the Sally Hansen and Opi products. I always use strong basecoat to strengthen my nails, good nailpolish and strong topcoat. That way they have a sort of protection shield and then they don't chip easily. File them once a week and take good care of your nails, hands and cuticles. Soften them with special products like scrubbing and oiling. At Sephora or drugstores you can find the Sally Hanseen products, Sephora's own brand and Opi by sephora. Treat your hands well: I use hand cream every night and a mask once a week. I have to polish them, otherwise they chip as well. And be careful when your nails are wet, then they break easily. During the years I ddiscovereda certain length which is manageable for me. Find that for yourself so that you can still do things like using a pc!
    well i'm not that sure but i think that if you file it and not bite it then you can stop it from chipping --- i tried it works on me but i don't know about you ....x
    Vitamin D helps nails grow strong, but I also use a Sally Hansen product called Maximum Growth. If you use it as directed your nails will grow, and grow stronger! I can go from no nail to long nails in a matter of weeks!

    Question for women that keep their nails long and classy looking?

    I have always thought a woman with long nails is a very classy woman, wanted thoughts from women who keep their nails long as to what they like about having long nails and how long they keep theirs.Question for women that keep their nails long and classy looking?
    I have long nails but i wouldnt say that im classy.. xQuestion for women that keep their nails long and classy looking?
    I don't keep mine TOO long, maybe a centimeter or two off of the finger. Depends what you can manage. I agree with you, it does look more classy, but you need to keep them looking clean, and straight or round on the ends.(filing) You could also get a french manicure done or simply paint them yourself. I hope this helps you.
    I am like you - I think its classy BUT only if they are kept manicured. I have seen long nails that look TERRIBLE. I keep my nails long but not too long because it makes it difficult to do things. Mine are about 3/4'; from the cuticle and that's a good length for me.
    i think having long nails is nice cuz if u paint them then they look really good on u!
    I love having them long and painted. They look nice and are good for self defense, clawing your lover, scratching itches, and opening things.
    I keep them long so I can claw at people's faces when I'm mad at them.

    Exactly what Susan says... fingertip or longer. The ';white part'; should be less than 2 mm long.
    that it is kinda creepy and gross and long nails for girls means they make them pretty and polish them for guys it just means they didnt want to cut them or they r lazy
    Long nails for a guy are probably where


    you can see the white part


    at the top or where they are past your


    fingertips and you can see them when


    you turn your hand around
    Long nails for a guy: fingertip or longer.


    Should be slightly shorter than fingertip, and clipped/filed weekly.
    if it extends past your finger, and theres white showing


    then yes it's too long.

    My puppy got really long and sharp nail should i go to the vet or is it easy to cut them myself?

    No dog nails are wierd you have to get a speciailist like a vet to do it or you could hurt it.My puppy got really long and sharp nail should i go to the vet or is it easy to cut them myself?
    If you are not that expierenced in cutting a dogs nail i let the vet do it cause they know what they are doing and after all they are profesionnalllss. Depends on the dogs nail. White color ones are more easier to cut then the black ones. The black ones are alot tougher and requires much more patience and a more heavy duty clipper. Dont cut too much. Like a tiny bit will do casue some dogs have sensistive paws and if u cut to much it will hurt them.


    To cut a dog's nail: Place the dog on a raised surface. Use a non-slip mat to avoid injury. If possible, have someone hold the dog while you cut its nails.


    2


    Step Two


    Slide the nail trimmer over the nail. Stay in the white part of the nail; the pink part contains blood vessels; cutting too far back will cause bleeding.


    3


    Step Three


    Squeeze the handle of the nail trimmer smoothly and firmly. Do not try to pry the nail off; when the trimmer is used properly, the nail pops off.


    4


    Step Four


    File the edge of the nail. Or, you can let the nail be worn smooth by walking the dog on hard surfaces like sidewalks.


    5


    Step Five


    If you cut the nail too far down, use a styptic pen or a powder to stop any bleeding. For dogs with black nails, cut the tips only where the nail is whitish.


    Tips %26amp; Warnings





    * Don't forget to trim the dog's dew claws as well. These nails grow further up on the dog's legs and do not make contact with the ground.


    * Remember, trimming just a little is best. The nails should protrude just over the dog's pads. Do not cut them too short.


    * Cut dog's nails regularly. Walking on overly long nails can lead to nail bed infections, broken nails and bleeding.


    * There are different types of nail trimmers available for different breeds and sizes of dogs. Consult with your veterinarian or pet shop owner about the best type to use for your dog.


    * Always cut nails from underneath, not from the tip downward.My puppy got really long and sharp nail should i go to the vet or is it easy to cut them myself?
    It is easy to trim a dog's nails yourself BUT you need to know what you are doing... possibly it would be best to take the dog to the vet and have the vet show you how to properly trim them (actually it likely won't be the vet but someone who works for them).... or even a groomer could help teach you. I usually dremel instead of clip but either way is easy and it is important that you do it regularly with the puppy so that it gets used to it and you can keep the nails trimmed back. Once you have learned how to do it, do it every week or so and that will help...
    If you know how to do it, then do it yourself. But if you don't know how to do it then have a vet show you first. You MUST KNOW exactly how to do it or you could injure the puppy. If you trim them to far up you will make the dog bleed. Best to take the puppy to the vet and have him show you first.
    I cut my dogs nails. It's the easiest to do when their nails are lighter instead of a darker color. This should help,





    http://www.ehow.com/how_2453_trim-dogs-n鈥?/a>
    Yes you can - but you have to be careful in doing so. You can buy some good nail clippers in larger pet shops and they have instructions on how do clip the claws on the back. I did my dog's and I would strongly advise you to clip them outside as if you clip the quick by mistake (which we did) they will bleed for a few minutes before the clotting factor kicks in. Cutting the claws does not hurt the dog.
    GO TO THE VET,IF YOUR UNSURE OR SHAKEY,YOU COULD HURT HIM BAD.VETS S/TIMES DO IT FREE
    please please have it done by someone who knows what they are doing. imagine someone cutting your nails wrongly and cutting to the nerve just to savea few pounds , go to the vet
    Go to the vet and watch how he clips the puppies nails, than you can go to a pet shop and buy a pair of special nail clippers . It is very dangerous to clip the nails too short ,it can cause an infection !


    Be careful !
    u can get these dog nail clippers at pet shops -


    that may be easier than going to the vet every time your dog grows long nails!!
    I just cut my dogs nail for the first time. I figured it was cheaper to buy a pair of $5 clippers than to spend $20 every other month. I was SOOOO scared to do it, but luckily she has some clear nails as well as some black nails. The clear nails make it easier to see the quick, which is pink compared to the rest of the nails. You do NOT want to cut the quick, as it will cause bleeding. If your dog has all black nails, you may want to watch the trimming done by a professional first. It is best to cut nails after bathing the dog for the same reason it is better to cut your own nails after a shower, they are softer and easier to cut. It is good to cut a small amount at first, you can always cut more later if needed. there are some dogs that can not handle having their paws manipulated at all, in these extreme cases they must be sedated by a vet, which is not recommended unless absolutely necessary. Good luck to you!
    I think you should take him to the vet. It's always safer
    I haven't cut my dog's nails since I cut its finger accidently^^and I realized It's so difficult to find a dividing line between nail and pad, Because Both of them are usually black colour.





    So i suggest u go to the vet
    If you have never cut a dog's nails, have a vet or groomer show you before you even attempt it. There is a vein called the quick that is in the nail, if you cut it, it is painful for the dog and you have to have styptic on hand to stop the bleeding.
    GO TO THE VETS TO SEE HOW ITS DONE AND THEN ASK THE VET WHAT TYPE OF CLIPPERS SHE RECOMENDS AND THEN TRY THEM ON UR PUPPY
    Get the vet to do it the first time to show you how, having said that, I have only ever used a nail clipper in 30 years, I file my dogs down with a diamond dog nail file, and they get plenty of roadwork which wears them down, other than the dew claw which I file monthly.
    We cut our dogs nails ourselves. Look closely at the nail and you should see a kind of white root inside about half the Length of your dogs nails. As long as when you cut them you DO NOT cut the root your dog won't feel a thing. If your dog is obedient make them lay down. It's much easier. You can cut them with large toe nail cutters, Skin nippers or as everyone else said go to a pet shop and buy the professional ones. If you don't like the sound of cutting your dog nails go to a groomer. I'm Sure they might be able to cut them there and then for a low price.
    I cut my dogs nails, if you feel comfortable doing it yourself go ahead.
    you need to know what your doing, theres a nerve in the nail as you call it, and you dont want to damage it, the vet or if theres some 1 whos done a grooming coarse n your area, they would be able to do it, ask them how you find the area where the nerve ends, then you will will be able to do it your self in future.
    If you're nervous to do it yourself, then take it to the groomers, but trimming your dog's nails is a relatively easy process.


    Here's how:





    1.You need to make sure that your dog is calm and is in a state where it doesn't mind having its paws being touched and dealt with.


    2. Then, with a dog toenail clipper, clip the tip of each nail. This is the tricky part. If your dog has white nails, it's easy to detect the quick which is the part that contains the blood. It's pink. You need to be sure that you don't cut into the quick because it will bleed.


    If your dog has black nails, then you need to be more careful.


    3. IF your dog bleeds, you can use some flour to stop the bleeding. Just dab a small amount on the bleeding nail and move on.
    i recommend you go to the vet so they can show you how to do it correctly then you could do it yourself.
    I would think if you walked your puppy every day on the pavement this it's self should wear the nails down, I have had three dogs in the past and never had to cut there nails, only when the dog gets old and unable to walk far should you require to cut their nails and only with the proper tool, and after some instruction.But I wish you and your puppy well.
    Hi there


    That depends entirely on how comfortable you are with cutting your puppies nails. You can do it at home with nailclippers made to clip dogs nails. You may find though that if your puppies nails are black that it is really hard to gauge where the quick is. If they are white you can usually see where the red blood vessel ends and this makes it a bit easier to cut the nail below that. Make sure if you do want to cut your puppies nails yourself (and even if you want the vet to do it) that he gets used to letting his feet be handled. Handle them regularly and that way when you have to get his nails cut he won't mind them being touched so much. If you are worried, get the vet or vet nurse to show you how to do it properly the first time. You may find that he's a bit wriggly at the moment and you may need to have someone hold him for you ;-)


    Cheers
    its easy. do it yourself.


    just find the quick [pink] and just cut the white.
    You can cut the nails yourself but if you have never done it before then I would have a vet teach you for the first time. This way you know what your doing. I say this because if you cut too far down into the quick then your dogs nail can get infected easily and cause more problems. You can also take your dog to a groomer and have them show you how to cut the nails for future time. Im sure that either one would be happy to show you how to do it and the groomer may offer to just cut the nails and show you for less of a charge than the vet will.

    My vet surgically removed a kind of long nail on both of my GR *****'s hind legs but I'm not so sure of it.?

    So your dog had its back Dew claws removed?





    Is that what you are talking about?





    If so Back Dew claws just end up getting in the way and many times dog will rip them off when not careful. It is not necessary for them and dose not bother them. Maybe dogs don't have them removed but most do. My vet surgically removed a kind of long nail on both of my GR *****'s hind legs but I'm not so sure of it.?
    It was probably what they call a dew claw, it's like a thumb nail and it easily curls tight as it grows, more than the others, and it is a pain to trim once it's grown out. Many people don't even know it's there until it is too late, a lot of people have them removed early when they are pups. Hope this helps.My vet surgically removed a kind of long nail on both of my GR *****'s hind legs but I'm not so sure of it.?
    Are you talking about dew claws? They are usually removed, because they sometimes hang them on things and rip them off.
    Sounds like rear dewclaw removal. No biggie and is best for the dog not to have them to catch on things and get ripped.
    i think they do that because it bother the *****'s when they walk ...
    It was probably a dew claw.

    Losing toe nail due to long distance walk?

    I participated in a 40 mile walk last weekend and a portion of the route was down these huge hills. As a result, the pressure on my toes caused my big toenail to come loose. I have heard about this before and am not freaked out but have questions. I clipped the top of the nail off where it was really loose but the bottom seems intact - is there a chance it won't fall off entirely? Should I be doing something besides wrapping it? ThanksLosing toe nail due to long distance walk?
    my personal experience after a marathon. the top part of the nail become loose but the bottom was still intact. then after some time, the nail slowly turned black and 2 months later, the whole nail dropped off.

    Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?

    Ive recently started to grow my nails but it's turning rather tricky and i'm not quite sure what to do with them, or what products to use on them. It would be much apreciated if you could recommend some products , or even tips to help me maintain long, healthy nails.Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?
    You should regulary massage them, this promotes nail growth. when varnishing, always apply a base oat and top coat. when filing, file from side to center, not side to side as this weakents nails,.


    Try this specialised treatment we do at my salon...


    fill a bowl with hot water and stand a (smaller bowl) of almond oil (olive oil if your allergic to nuts) in the hot water untill its quite warm. then soak your finger tips in it for 10 minuits. doing this regularly will moiturise the nail, and cuticle.


    Also remember that your nails are not tolls, so dont use them as though they are,. And you should always wear gloves or a barrier cream for dirty work (gardening.etc) or work with chemicals ( washing up, hairdressing)Who knows how to keep your nails long, and looking good?
    You should be eating foods that contain calcium for healthy nail growth such as milk , cheese , eggs and green vegetables. Use a proper nail scissors to cut them regularly. Don't overshape them at the sides and don't chew your nail or the surrounding skins. Use the nail file and the nail buffer.

    wash them while your in the shower. like when you are washing your hair, scrub your scalp to get the dirt out from under them. use a nail filerer to keep down the rough edges. then put some nail polish or clear polish over them to keep them strong.

  • How long will nail polish last if you dont open it?

    probably a good while as long as its not stored in really high or low temperatures. Shake well and if it's a little thick when you open it, add a little bit of nail polish remover to thin it (just a tiny bit!) and give it a good shake. I've had nail polish-used and over 10 yrs old-given to me and still worked okay even though the colors were horrible! lol.How long will nail polish last if you dont open it?
    They can last a year or even more if you keep the lid on tight and don't leave the brush out for too long at a time. Quick Dry type don't last as long, if you are really worried about longevity. Just throw it out when it looks thick on the brush - you can try adding nail polish remover but it'll never be the same, it looses its luster. Good luck.How long will nail polish last if you dont open it?

    Real long nails are much sharper, better for back scratches and untying knots.

    Long Fake nails are better if you want to type with them, they don't risk breaking,


    O.K. to pick your nose with because they aren't sharp enough to slice the inside of your nose if you slip and jab yourself to hard.


    I keep mine real mainly for the effectiveness of heavenly back scratch capability. But not too long.





    If your a make up artist or any other kind of artist. Painter, anything that takes detail work its impossible to have long nails of any kind. They get in the way. But that's sexy enough a true artist always has paint under there nails.

    You do not have to spend alot of money. GNC has a great vitamin called Hair Skin and Nails.





    Also, moisturize your hands with cream after washing. Especially the nails. I prefer SebaMed Hand cream over Vaseline and Neutrogena.





    Obviously, do not bite nails, if you have a habit they have some special nailpolish that tastes bitter. You can get that from the pharmacy. Good luck, it is really worth it. Fake nails are a huge hassle and very expensive to maintain.
    If I was you I would try not to wash dishes or take long showers. I know that if my nails are exposed to hot water for a long time they start to break. Also buy a nail polish that is suppose to strengten your nails. Just buy one at Walgreens. Don't trim your nails. In about three months your nails are going to be the perfect size. It worked for me.
    dont trim them

    Lots of protein helps hair %26amp; nail growth. Just make sure your protein source doesn't have too much fat or sugar. Lean meat (like poultry), legumes, and the previously mentioned jello are all great choices. But I would not recommend an all-protein diet.

    just eat calcium, zinc, protein, fiber

    My dog has very long nails and I bought a pedipaw but it takes to long?

    So I want to cut them only her nails are black so how do I know how short I can cut them before I hit a blood vessel?My dog has very long nails and I bought a pedipaw but it takes to long?
    Better than a Pedipaw is a Dremel tool. If your dog's nails are very long, it will probably be best to clip them first, and then smooth them with the Dremel.


    You can buy a Dremel with a lot more power than a Pedipaw for around $20.00. You can even use a search engine on the proper way to dremel nails so that you do not accidently cause discomfort (the same rules apply to using the Pedipaw, too).





    Your vet can cut the nails into the quick -- this will probably require light sedation. Once a dog's nails have been allowed to grow very long, it's very hard to get the blood vessel to recede to get the nails back to healthy length.





    Once you get the nails short, it only takes a minute or so every 2 weeks to maintain them.





    It doesn't matter whether you're clipping, Pedipawing, or Dremmeling, hitting the quick is going to hurt your dog.





    There's an explanation as to how you can see the blood vessel when dremeling black nails here http://homepages.udayton.edu/~merensjp/d鈥?/a>My dog has very long nails and I bought a pedipaw but it takes to long?
    I have one of those too, but found that I had to take my dog for a professional nail cut first, and then use the pedipaws just as a touch up. If they are really long take your dog to a groomer just to get them shortened, after that you can just do the maintenance to keep them short. I think that the pedipaws is a good idea for small dogs, but not for bigger breeds.
    If the dog's nails are very long, that means the quick (the nerve) is also very long. Grinding the nail is a good option since the heat of the grinder can cauterize the quick, stopping the bleeding if you grind too far. It will take a long time. If the nails are in very bad shape already, you may want to take the dog to a groomer who can grind the nails for you, or take your dog to the vet's office. These people will have a better idea how short to cut the nail, and if they hit the quick, will have the appropriate supplies on hand to stop the bleeding. Plus your dog won't become afraid of you. When the nails are too long, you won't be able to take much off of them. My black nailed dogs go to the vet's office for their nail trims (in fact we are going today). I won't touch this one.





    If you do proceed with the nails and hit the nerve and it bleeds, cornstarch or flour will help stop the bleeding. You can also get a product from the pet store called Quick Stop (it is styptic powder).





    edit to add: weewoah333, great link! Thanks. Big thumbs up!
    My friend bought one of those pedipaw things too. His dog will let him do one paw at a time. Mine wont let me go near them with it. If you are nervous about cutting her nails, take her to the vet or a groomer, have them show you how to do it. Usually with black nails you just have to cut a little bit at a time.
    Wow,fell the stupid gimmick,eh?


    Go buy a good nail-whacker %26amp; cut em.


    Cut EVEN w/the toe.


    Quicking is no big deal.
    his nails can get filed by just going for walks and bring him to a groommer to long can cause promblems
    Crap! Why you buy such ****?
    don't those things come with an instruction manual?

    Hello my friend,why do mens have very very long pinky nail? why for this?

    In many Aisan cultures the extra long pinky nail showes that the man is not a labor worker and that he is of welthy means. Since he does not work with his hands, the nail does not break. It is only mainly in the US that the long pinky is used for coke snorting.Hello my friend,why do mens have very very long pinky nail? why for this?
    because they are very cool

    Report Abuse


    Hello my friend,why do mens have very very long pinky nail? why for this?
    For tickling p*ssy.
    Drugs, they use it to scoop up cocaine and snort it.
    My understanding is that is for snorting coke.
    they use them for snorting drugs.
    To pull out earwax like Al Bundy.
    1.WHAT KIND QUESTION IS THAT.


    2.IDK.
    All in all, it can mean a lot of things.





    One of my friends had a long pinky nail too. When I asked, I was informed that it was to assist him in his ';pimpin'';. Apparently, the idea is that it might be useful when executing a ';pimp slap';. Yah but i dont really think thats true.





    But I know that a long pinky nail is used as a cocaine spoon. And that makes more sense.It's a coke nail. You don't have to do coke to have a coke nail. Doing coke was the original purpose. It has since become a fashion statement. Like all the white folks whereing the 'X' hats a few years back. Fashion blurs the line of the original utility of the action.





    But also...A few of the guys I used to know grew their nails to make it easier to play classical guitar (because you use your fingers instead of a pick).





    One theory is that it is simply to look cool. Or to clean ears, since it's safer than a Q-Tip. Or for nose picking....lol but really it could be.





    And maybe if hes asian, in some Asian cultures, men will grow a long pinky nail to indicate wealth and status, since it proves that they obviously do not do manual labor.





    But Im pretty sure its a coke nail. If he does coke.





    (=
    aside from the wealth thing and the coke thing, I've known men that keep the pinky nails long to clean the dirt from under their other nails.
    for cocaine

    What kinds of foods/combinations for losing weight and growing long hair and long nails?

    Just take milk twice in a day....eat foods having protein...and avoid outside home foods...eat fruits more as diet....


    搂What kinds of foods/combinations for losing weight and growing long hair and long nails?
    Take biotin for healthy hair and nails. You can find it in the vitamin aisle.What kinds of foods/combinations for losing weight and growing long hair and long nails?
    Surprisingly, jell-o and yogurt are the best. There's something about the gelatin used in jell-o that's good for nails and hair, and you've got some good bacteria in the yogurt too.

    Good question.





    I hate long nails. Bought fake ones and they drove me nuts!





    I dont know how they type on the keyboard either
    You find a way. Actually mine are long but not crazy long and i don't have a problem at all.
    they use the pads of the fingers, pointing the nails out.
    this is a stupid question. It's really not that hard. I have long nail and this is never a problem for me
    Who cares?

    I have a Bruise under my finger nail how long will it go away?

    That ';bruise'; is probably dried blood. You may've slammed your finger in a door of something by accident and that blood will clot on the surface underneath the nail. It's nothing to worry about, once the new skin grows back underneath the blood, the dried blood will work it's way out.I have a Bruise under my finger nail how long will it go away?
    it will take until the nail grows out, the bruise is pretty much stuck there, unless it is under the skin, then a few daysI have a Bruise under my finger nail how long will it go away?
    Depending on how bad it is most likely until your nail falls off.
    Till the nail grows out. It could take weeks, like mine did.
    Are you sure it is a bruise? If you are African American, this is a common place to get something called Acral Lentiginous Melanoma, a type of skin cancer. Not trying to scare you. If you smashed your nail, its probably a bruise.

  • I slammed my thumb in my car door 3 years ago, i used to have such long nails,now my thumb nail wont grow back

    where the white arch is, isnt circular, its all ridged and looks like crap. will it ever grow or look like my other nails??I slammed my thumb in my car door 3 years ago, i used to have such long nails,now my thumb nail wont grow back
    i would suggest going to the doctor. anytime something isn't growing right or does not appear to look or feel normal, you should always have the doctor examine it.I slammed my thumb in my car door 3 years ago, i used to have such long nails,now my thumb nail wont grow back
    i did that too. recommend you get fake nails at the salon for $30 a month (a fill every 2 weeks) you will feel so much better about yourself.
    That happened to me also a few years ago. My nail never grows back fully; it just grows partially and then eventually falls off.


    That's what happens when you slam a door on the finger. It destroys or damages the nail bed and won't allow the nail to grow normally.


    If you are a woman or girl, try using the stick on nails you can buy at the local drugstore or Walmart!
    it will grow back in time, you damaged the nerves and tissue under your thumb, give it some time.

    My dog's nail is long. and her quick is at the tip so i cant cut it, what should i do?

    First thing i would do is call your vet, this seems a little unusual, and ask you vet what he would suggest, he may even want to see your dog, I would be afraid to advise you to even file it under these circumstances. You can just make a quick phone call to see what he would advise you to do!! Cheers!!My dog's nail is long. and her quick is at the tip so i cant cut it, what should i do?
    Keep clipping or grinding them short (just before the quick). If you're persistent the quick will recede. It's an annoying problem to fix, since it doesn't take long for the quick to grow.My dog's nail is long. and her quick is at the tip so i cant cut it, what should i do?
    use a nail file and file it or go to vet or groomer and have them use a dremmel

    Why do some men grow their pinky nails long?

    i have met one or two guys in the past who i've noticed have relatively short, manly nails...except for a very long pinky nail on one hand. wtf does this symbolize?Why do some men grow their pinky nails long?
    cocaineWhy do some men grow their pinky nails long?
    I believe it's some sort of chinese symbol to mean that you have good financial fortune, or that you don't work with your hands.


    For non-Chinese people, I think it's just to look ';cool';.
    Men use these long pinky nails in order to be able to scoop up a hit of cocaine and snort it quickly without bringing too much attention to themselves.
    I know its weird huh me personally i use it for scratching


    all my nails are real short so i keep the pinky long for that itch
    pinky nails always grow faster...it seems like they do cuz they rarely break. but some guys might think its feminine or gay to cut their nails.





    my bf had a habit of biting his nails, so his never grew too long lolz.
    Druggies.
    most it is for picking ex: teeth ears and nose, yes disgusting but its the truth. o and to do drugs
    3 words 5 syllables ... snoop-dog and cocaine.
    To scoop out the blow for a quick bump.
    So they can toot some cocaine really fast. It's sooo nasty and ugly!

    Do you know long lasting nail polish?

    I've found Revlon longer lasting than others. It's also more difficult to get off when you want to remove it.Do you know long lasting nail polish?
    anything by Sally Hanson, Try Diamond shine or something like that, i put a fresh coat on ,every other day and it grew my nails, no lieDo you know long lasting nail polish?
    sally hanson, and then clear coat on top
    Avon carries many kinds of nail polish and also the press on nail polish that is not a fake nail, but a polish that you remove with polish remover. For a free sample, contact me at vickiv13@peoplepc.com

    My nail poilish keeps rubbing off long after its dry, why?

    I have put sealing coat polish on them, over coat polish on them, shining polish, and more. Why does it keep rubbing off? Im not that girly girl so I cant tell if I did it right. The only reason I did it is for my church social it a huge thing!!!My nail poilish keeps rubbing off long after its dry, why?
    Mine will do that if i put too many coats on. It just..doesnt work propely. Try using thin coats and making sure each one dries before applying the next.





    X's and O'sMy nail poilish keeps rubbing off long after its dry, why?
    oh well, if the clear is rubing off its probally an old bottle so go out and buy some more.


    i just painted my nails and i used N.Y.C nail polish to cover and its not rubbing off so maybe try it.
    its rubbing off because its a cheap brand, yes i have that experience :)
    Theres a certain type of nail polish thats suposed to rub off its called peel off nail polish check on the back of the bottle and see what it says.....hope it helped!!!
    put a base coat of polish which u can buy almost any store that sales nail polish.apply nail polish the color u like on in 3 strokes even if u dont get the whole nail .do it middle, left ,right then do the other hand. 1st hand should be dry by this time apply second coat repeat on other hand then apply top coat
    You may be putting too much polish on or it is a cheap polish.
    i think that you are putting too much on your nails. maybe try just nailpolish =]

    what the f*** is the matter with you.. Those two things should only be used in a well ventilated room. You have two lungs and one brain. I think.
    If you keep up that behavior, it won't be long because you will be dead. Why do people have to get high all the time and on any thing they can get their hands on no matter how dangerous? Go get help before you end up very sick at the least.
    first of all, it is very hard to get high off of sharpie and finger nail polish, and etc., and sexondly if you do get high off of it then it will last for a short time

  • What is one of your favorite nail polishes... and do you have long fingers?

    My current favorite is OPI Russian Navy... very dark but not quite black... looks gorgeous on long slender fingers!





    My fingers are look long, but are actually short compared to most women my height, 5'10';... it's because they are so slender.





    Oh, and I am obsessed with beautiful hands :-)What is one of your favorite nail polishes... and do you have long fingers?
    I dont have any. I play the guitar, so nailpolish, ew, no. But my fingers are freakishly long. Especially compared to my friends, where my pinky finger is just as long (or longer) than their middle finger. ha! its great.What is one of your favorite nail polishes... and do you have long fingers?
    i like dark violet colored nail polish and i have long fingers lol...every girl i compare my hands to...I have longer fingers..lol my middle finger is 3 inches long...and I am a short girl..lol.. 5'3...so for my height...i sort of have big hands.





    oh yeah..and to every guy i compare my fingers to...they are usually about aslong as the guys..or a little bit shorter..
    i have tiny hands and fingers im 5'1';. i get my nails done professionally, and my fav to do it a white french tip with some sort of design... doesnt matter which. but as far as nail polish goes i like china glaze Caribbean temptation. lol. its a pink and i love it i also love china glaze dont touch my tiara. i love pinks and thats another pink.
    My favorita nail polish was Chanel in Lotus Rouge, which is kind of a dark red, but dark nailpolish is really out right now so I replaced it with normal Red.


    I have long fingers. I'm 5'10'; too. I have double jointed fingers and thumbs. Everyone says I should play piano. But I don't. And I bite my nails so...they're not too good looking at the moment.
    My favorite is Revlon Strawberry Electric! It's shimmery hot pink, but it doesnt get all see through and weird, and it doesnt look really girly either. My hands are little and my fingernails are little too. I'm a little under 5'3, so my hands are okay for my height.
    My current favorite is OPI London Bridge is Falling Down. A very unusual shade of red. maybe a cross between a crimson and red. I don't have long fingers. I'm a little on the thin side but my fingers are not thin.
    I like french manicures myself...





    and do I have long fingers!!! almost as long as my boyfriend who is 6'; taller than me!!!





    Here is a pic for you:

    well i used to have long fingernails but it just makes my hands look long and weird so i cut them short and wear black nail polish (NYC) to make my long fingers to look shorter.
    My nails are usually black. I'm not goth or anything, but I just like the color, plus, it goes with everything. My nails are log, but because of sports i have to keep them short for now,....
    I don't have long fingers but short nails. (I do a lot of yard work) I usually wear a clear coat. My favorite is Hard as nails by sally Hanson.
    My favorite nail polish is Black kind, I really love how it looks on my nails. My nails aren't very long. I'd say there medium length!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    YahYah
    I guess I am kind of plain. I love french manicures. I would love to have those pretty fancy nails, but I cannot due to my job at the hospital.
    i have man hands so i dont really do my finger nails that often but i do like just regular pink. not like neon pink or extra hot pink. just pink.

    Finger Nail Polish? What I Am Using Is Just Taking To Long And Wear To Quickly?

    I find that Dior and Chanel Le Vernis work very good. Also Opi Nail Colour is good if you want less expensive product.


    Try to put on one thin coat, then let dry, then one more coat to prevent chip.Finger Nail Polish? What I Am Using Is Just Taking To Long And Wear To Quickly?

    It might be a bit expensive but it's good quality and you don't need a clear top coat.

    I have long nails that i let grow naturally, how can i stop them getting dirty?

    i have really long nails naturally but they get dirty quite often, i shower 2wice a day


    is ther any way to keep them clean without breaking them?I have long nails that i let grow naturally, how can i stop them getting dirty?
    Nails look dirty when grown too long, period. That is because they are designed by mother nature that way, dead cells, hard, may be useful for scratching or digging.


    In the evolutionary scale, they were a man's built in tools, foraging for food, etc.


    Cut them up to a millimeter on the sides and 2 cms in the middle. Clean with a soapy solution or a quick 10 minute soak in water with a little soap or non phosphate detergent. Use a nail file to remove stains from everyday chores. Buff and polish with emery boards.


    Clean nails separate a well groomed human from the rest of his phyla (chordata). LOL.I have long nails that i let grow naturally, how can i stop them getting dirty?
    At night after your shower, use a gentle nail brush and swipe 'em clean.
    I play Guitar, so my nails on the left hand are short. But... on the other hand (pun intended), my right hand nails are long. I keep a white coat of polish (not clear)on them, and a black on the thumb. In order to keep mine clean, i just clean them out with a paperclip, and wash under them with soap and water. Easy.
    buy a nail brush and scrub them in between showers
    Just make sure you wash your hands after doing stuff even if it doesn't look like it's going to be messy work. Keep an orange stick in your bag or pocket, as well as being used for tidying cuticles they make useful tools for scraping dirt out drom under fingernails. If you want, get a french manicure or do it youself. Apart from making your nails tips look whiter it'll hide the dirt.
    Hand cream


    This will help the dirt from sticking to your nails


    apply often


    Hope this helps!


    Good Luck!
    wash ur hand alot....keep sanitizer wipes wit you at all time.
    u need to wash ur hands constantly! mine are short and i still feel them dirty.... i wash my hands very often.


    when it comes to breaking them..well, use a nail polish that makes them stronger
    Use gloves for 'diry' tasks, and other than that, the nails clean easily normally and can be cleaned up quickly with 'normal' hygiene of washing frequently as should be required anyhow after and before different tasks...
    Clear polish underneath the nail? Weekly manicures? Washing hands well throughout the day?
    dear yet them grow dirt, about, is clean them with wet cloth as much you can you can keep cloth with you (small)
    Why grow nails so really long? It is unnatural and look dirty. Easy to keep them clean and hygienic when clipped every couple of weeks or atleast every month.
    clean them every now or then
    if you need to clean the quite often apply a nail hardener to prevent them from softening so much in water and simply use a nail brush
    I have long natural nails too and what I do is with the nails on one of my hands I go under the nails on my other hand and scrape all the dirt out. Its just something you do when your watching TV, it doesnt hurt at all and I like the feel of my nails clean
    always wash your hands and clean under your nails all the time thats what i do and it works :)
    Scrape your nails across a bar of soap, the soap gets under the nails and stays there, and the dirt cant get in .lol. May sound funny but works a treat when youre gardening!
    Where gloves whenever its possile like cleaning, gardening and such.
    wash your hands
    If you use a small brush to scrub your nails out every morning then that will keep then clean. Also if you forget maybe when you have the time then you can paint them and clean them often. This worked for my Grandmother who put fake nails on her nails. Thank You Kelsey Q.

    How long do fake nails last if they are done in a nail place?

    i got solar nails instead of acrylic and they lasted a really long time. They didn't chip or fall off or anything. And they were really comfortable too, they didn't feel fake.


    I had mine on for a month, but every 2 weeks you have to go get them filled and trimmed off so they don't look bad..

  • I smashed my thumb 4 weeks ago, the nail is all black and feels funny. How long before a new nail grows in?

    It depends on each person. Could be a couple of months until it looks completely normal. You can relieve some of the pressure in your nail by poking a small hole in the nail over the black area. Make sure the needle is sterile. Some of the blood will seep out and it should feel better.I smashed my thumb 4 weeks ago, the nail is all black and feels funny. How long before a new nail grows in?
    It might fall off. Next time, immediately after you hit it, pinch the end of your injured finger really hard with the other hand. It will hurt sooo bad! But it will seal off those little broken capillaries, and then you won't have to go through the pain and possibly losing your nail.





    Feel better!I smashed my thumb 4 weeks ago, the nail is all black and feels funny. How long before a new nail grows in?
    It could take a few months.
    I did the same thing a couple oof years ago. It took about 2 mos. to fall off (I was in denial to the end) %26amp; another 2 mos. for it to fully grow back. It'll be very tender for a while.
    A few weeks, but GO TO A DOCTOR. Ingrowing nails hurt a lot unless you take the right actions.
    It will be a little while ( maybe another month) before that heals . See if you can take extra iron or fiber to your diet to help make that go away.
    15 years ago I dropped a wooden pattet on my toe, I didn't go to the hospital that nail is still black today as it grows it turns black

    ';i like your nails.'; don't refer to them as a manicure if this is a woman you want to get with. i don't think many straight guys use that term, lol.How can you compliment a woman on her long nails?
    Tell her you want her to scratch her nails down your back.How can you compliment a woman on her long nails?
    your nails are so pretty





    trust me, I'm a girl. I would chat with a hot guy that said that
    your nails look nice.
    scream in horror


    then maybe


    Oh, nice nails Edward
    you go up to her and say ';ooh. i really like your nails. i like the length of them.'; this might sound akward but it will work.
    you can't. you will be charged with sexual harassment and sent to sensitivity training.
    ';I like your nails.';





    ';You have very pretty nails.';
    ~smile~ and tell her ';your nails look lovely';





    she'll thank you





    1) She either spends a lot of time doing them herself or:


    2) She spends a lot of $ getting them done.





    She'll be glad that you noticed..
    Your nails and boobs are very exiting.
    Don't compliment her on her nails. I think it would seem a bit odd for a guy to recognize such a thing (not saying that's wrong). Simply say ';Wow, you have really nice hands';. ';They look like the hands of a doll or mannequin';. Has any one told you that before? You must spend alot of time making them look so nice. This opens the door for tons of conversation about ';her';.





    G'luck and happy new year
    Nice manicure, with a smile.
    NICE NAILS
    How can you compliment a woman on her long nails? Do you just want to let her know that you noticed, or are you hoping to introduce yourself?





    Smile as you approach her and say, ';Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice how attractive your nails are. They drew me right to you.';





    How she responds will let you know if she's interested or not.
    Depends on if you are wanting to be a bit risque' and how well you know them. I was thinking on the one extreme ';Wow, Id like those digging in to my back'; or a bit less lounge-lizardly ';You must take good care of yourself if you take that good care of your nails';
    you can just like ask her questions about how she got them that way....also just tell her that you think they are beautiful even if you think there not!

    How do you take contact lenses out with long nails?

    Ditto to Elizabeth. I have long nails and have worn contacts for 15 years. I use the side of my right thumb and ring finger to take contacts out. So, take your open hand, and pinch thumb and ring finger, with the inside of your hand facing towards you and your nails pointing straight up. Use the sides of the top 1/3 of your fingers to pinch the contact and pull out.How do you take contact lenses out with long nails?
    I have long nails and do not like removing contacts with my nails so I purchased this the contact 2 lens remover. It works really well. I can remove them with my fingers by using the side of my thumb and index finger, but this is so much easier.





    http://www.contact2.com/How do you take contact lenses out with long nails?
    with the sides of your fingers, or I have seen people use the two pointer fingers to pinch it out. If you slide the contact down you can remove it easier if it is off the cornea
    Very carefully! ;)





    Naw, just like what was said above - use the sides of your fingers.

  • Hey.....Pls. give me tips for nail growth. I really like long nails. Pls... Help me.?

    well believe it or not...GARLIC!!! it's true. And also, your nails will grow if you DON'T BITE! But if you are a frequent nail biter then they might be growing really slow right? well just get some garlic and cut it in half, then just rub it on your nail. but make sure you get it like under your nail. EEeww. right? well it works. but if you don't want to have smelly finger nail, i heard an orange peel works too, but i haven't tried that.Hey.....Pls. give me tips for nail growth. I really like long nails. Pls... Help me.?
    What I do is keep them polished all the time. Wear gloves when you use cleaning products. Keep your fingers out of your mouth.





    My nails get so long that I have to cut them down.Hey.....Pls. give me tips for nail growth. I really like long nails. Pls... Help me.?

    How do you keep your nails long and strong?

    I have rather ';bendy';, if you will, nails. My nails are growing out quite nicely at the moment, but they're so bendy I know they're going to break. Is there any way I would make them so they're super long and super strong?





    I drink tons of milk, and I take nail / hair supplements every other day. Have any suggestions?How do you keep your nails long and strong?
    after i started only filing my nails (never using clippers) they got a lot stronger. i actually think that cutting them with nail scissors or clippers makes them break easier. How do you keep your nails long and strong?
    I paint mine or clear coat,there is something called 5-7day growth you put it on everyday for a week. then you will have londa nails but if your nails tend to break easy then use this other product called nail strengthner. Buy it at Sallys or maybe even a nail salon. mine are long and strong.

    Nail care tips





    No nail care product alone can give you healthy nails. But following these simple guidelines can help you keep your nails looking their best:





    Don't abuse your nails. To prevent nail damage, don't use your fingernails as tools to pick, poke or pry things.





    Don't bite your nails or pick at your cuticles. These habits can damage the nail bed. Even a minor cut alongside your nail can allow bacteria or fungi to enter and cause an infection (paronychia). Because your nails grow slowly, an injured nail retains signs of an injury for several months.





    Protect your nails. Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when using soap and water for prolonged periods or when using harsh chemicals.


    Perform routine nail maintenance. Trim fingernails and clean under the nails regularly. Use a sharp manicure scissors or clippers and an emery board to smooth nail edges. Never pull off hangnails 鈥?doing so almost always results in ripping living tissue. Instead clip hangnails off, leaving a slight angle outward.





    Moisturize your nails frequently. Nails need moisture just like your skin does. Rub lotion into your nails when moisturizing your hands. Be sure to apply a moisturizer after removing fingernail polish.



    there's a nail polish you can get called revitanail - you can get it in chemists. you paint a few coats on your nails and it makes your nails really strong and promotes nail growth - so effectively you'll have super long and super strong nails
    scrub your nails with garlic... it will make your nails strong..

    How do i grow my nails long at home fast?

    i really need to grow my nails long fast. i cant seem to make them grow fast.does hot water help?How do i grow my nails long at home fast?
    Nothing. You can't speed up your bodies natural function. I have a problem biting my nails so I paint them. When I paint them I won't bite them, it's just something about the nail paint chipping that annoys me. I hate painting them like a dark color because if they're short it just accentuates that, so I paint mine clear. If you have a healthy diet and drink lots of water, or keep yourself hydrated, it should help them grow healthier. How do i grow my nails long at home fast?
    Try to eat healthy, well balanced meals, drink lots of fluid, don't bite your nails, keep them protected with gloves when you are going to be exposing your hands and nails to water for an extended period of time such as when doing dishes, or cleaning. Use cuticle oil twice a day - every day. Apply a mositurizing lotion after every time you wash your hands. Gently massage your fingertips for 5 minutes at a time. Do this 2-3 times a day. Taking Biotin supplements will help to grow strong, healthy nails. All these things will help you to make your nails healthier, but there isn't much that can speed up the rate at which nails grow. You just have to be patient, and take really good care of your nails in the meantime. Treat your nails like jewels, not tools. Don't use them to pry things like the top of a soda can, scrape labels off with them, or anything else that could either break - or weaken your nails.


    Good luck, and be patient. You'll have long, gorgeous nails before you know it!
    Hi,


    call around to salons for a good price on fake nails... about $25-30, maybe less.


    you could try to do your own for a few bucks, googled ';fake nails'; and this came up: http://www.nails-guide.com/category/fake鈥?/a>


    if it is important to you, don't rely on some old wives tale for longer nails in time - at least have a back-up plan... make an appointment or arrangement to get your nails done a day or two before.


    you could practice doing fake nails at home in the meantime, i don't know how long they stay on, but if they only stay on a few days you could practice, with the help of a friend for your other hand.


    save up or do some chores for the money and make an appointment for just before, in case you break a nail, or want fake nails.


    that's all i got



    dude u body grows naturally u can't speed it up, u need to chill and wait, if u put ur nails in water they won't grow they will become soft and break. Just waitttttttttt!!!!! don't bite ur nails. Or u can go to the nail salon and get fake nails.
    i dont really think you can do that.











    i think they need to grow like mine!


    mine grow like weeds!


    and they are really hard too.


    it kinda sucks.


    lol.












    eat pounds of grease and they'll go so fast you wont believe it
    i heard when your nails are painted they grow faster
    stop bitting your nails
