Short black nails are not weird-they're awesome. Except when they chip then they don't look so great.
Not really a-lot of girls do it.


Its just a trend that will come and go.
not really, short black nails are fine.
No it is normal, well I think so at least.

How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?

The best thing to do is go to a beauty store and buy acetone (strong nail polish) and soak your nails in the acetone. This will help you ';peel'; them off, then you can file and buff them down and you should be okay- as long as they didnt destroy your nails putting the tips on. Getting acrylic nails is not really good for your nail.. cause then your real nails cant breathe... but hey we make sacrifices to feel nice every day. This is usually the way I get them off.How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?
soak them in polish remover. It will eat up the acrylic, with out taking a layer of your nail bed off.How do you get acrylic nails off without ruining the natural nail?
You don't have to go to a beauty store to get acetone you can go to any Wal- Mart and get Pure acetone. It will be with nail polish remover. If you don't want to use acetone then you can use fingernail polish remover because it contains acetone it will just take longer. If you got your nails put on professionally you can usually go back there and they will take them off for 5 or 10 dollars.
If you make the mistake of peeling them off you will pay the price.
you don't. don't wear them in the first place.
what i did was get a small bowl of nail polish remover and soaked my fingers (up to end if nail so the nail soaks) in it, it takes forever, but eventually they sorta peel/fall off
no idea

How do you take off fake nails?

Hey all, i put on fake drugstore nails and i want them off? any suggestions for an unpainfull way?


THANK YOU!How do you take off fake nails?
well you take your Hands








move your hands to fake nails





Take fake nails





take of with your handHow do you take off fake nails?
just pour a bit of nail polish remover in a bowl and soak your nails in it for a few minutes and your nails should be able to come off easily or easier than usual.
well when I had them a long time ago my boyfriend took them off with a guitar pick.hah. You slip the pick between your real nail and the fake one, then you slowly push, and it comes off and it didn't even hurt =]
soak them in water with soap to make them soft, and get something sharp like tweezers to push under the back of the nail and slowly lift it up, it works for acrylic so idk why it wouldnt work for glue
soak them in acetone [you can get this at sally's beauty supply or just about any other beauty supply store] and then they will be loose enough to just pull off.





hope it helps:]
soak your hands in warm water for about 5 min, they ll come out easily





Were they pre glued or you glued them?? If pre glued they ll come out easily after soaking then in warm water
soak in fingernail polish remover until they get loose or soft. Then you can just pick them off PAINFREE
bring them to me and I will nibble them off for you
No, I don't wear fake nails...my natural nails grow nicely.

How to cut my rabbit's nails?

Ok my rabbit Spooky is not like any bunny. But to make a long story short, the little bugger loves to be hugged but not put on his back. He also hates it if I take one of his rabbity paws and start to cut his nails that way. What the heck am I supposed to do? My boyfriend is willing to help out because I know it will be a two person job. I have treats for Spooky afterwards but does anyone have any ideas or stories with their rabbits?How to cut my rabbit's nails?
If you trim your pet's nails, be very careful that you NEVER cut too short.





Never cut too close to the pink you can see inside of a clear nail. Black nails are more difficult to cut because you can't see the pink part inside the nail. I can tell you how but it is a much longer explanation.





- If you cut the nail too short, you will be cutting into the 'quick' and the nail will bleed. It is difficult to stop the bleeding from the quick (not to mention, very painful to the animal).


- You should purchase silver nitrate sticks from a pet store or vet. There is also a container full of silver nitrate powder you can purchase.


- If you cut the nail too short and it starts to bleed, either place the stick to the bleeding nail or dip the nail in the powder.


- If you don't have any silver nitrate, a very helpful (but less effective) tool is flour (the same kind you eat/cook with). Put the nail in a small pile of flour and keep it there for a few moments to help the blood coagulate. Even after you stop the bleeding, the nail is still very sensitive for awhile.





But anyways, if you place a rabbit on its back very gently and stroke its sides, it usually puts it into a 'hypnotized' state and it will become immobilized (for the most part).


This video shows what I'm talking about:

If you don't feel comfortable trimming your rabbit's nails yourself or if your rabbit is too fussy, I HIGHLY suggest taking your rabbit to Petsmart or a pet store that grooms animals. They will cut the nails for you and I believe it costs less than $15. If they try and charge you more than that, go somewhere else. It usually only takes them 5-10min.How to cut my rabbit's nails?
i would buy some cat clippers and clip you rabbit nails. i clip my felines nails all the time.
if you use cat nail clippers they work the best when cutting their nails, really there is no easy way around it, but having someone to help restain is great, so you just have to work thru it and giving treats afterwards is good too
Use the same clippers as you would if you had to declaw your cat . It is hard to hold the bunny down because it is unnatural for them to be on their back. Be as gentle and may be talk to the bunny and stroke its fur to distract it.
I find that the best way is not to clip their nails on their back but have a firm grip, around their shoulders so they can't squirm around. Another way is to wrap them tightly in a towel. You can then do each paw individually with special rabbit nail clippers.
If you fence a ';run'; area off outside and put 2 or 3 inches of gravel down, the digging will quickly wear claws down naturally. BUT either the fence needs to start from a foot below ground level ,or you need to put a row of concrete blocks around perimeter below ground level or it will tunnel out in first day!





When my kids were young they had a rabbit,on condition it lived outside in hutch and enormous ';run i made for it. No expense spared, bales of hay, lettuces , carrots, 5 star luxury!


On a cold night I would find it in the house in the kids bedroom


';because it was cold outside!!!';
Try wrapping his body in a towel to minimize wiggling. This will help a lot with keeping him on his back.

How do I trim my kittens nails?

I just got a baby kitten (rescued her). And her nails are very sharp, Can anyone tell me how to trim her nails please. Do I have to do a certain length? Can I hurt her doing it? Can I file them?How do I trim my kittens nails?
Just use a regular human nail clipper; they fit in your hand easily and work well even on adult cats. Do just one or two nails at a sitting, with plenty of praise and petting, so your kitty doesn't get restless. Try trimming off JUST the sharp tip, rather than trying to get down close to the vein. The vein is like our ';quick'; and cutting into it will be painful, and may bleed. You need not file the nails, although you can.How do I trim my kittens nails?
I just trimmed my kittens nails the other day: got tired of the nice little scratches all over. Here's how you do it:





It is best to get a nail cutter made specially for animals; they're shaped better and usually come with medicine to rub on the nail just in case you cut too short.





You can file them but that takes a long time and trying to hold a kitten for that long is near impossible.





Cut JUST THE TIPS! Look at the claw and do you see some pink showing? That's flesh and it will hurt the kitten if you cut it that far back. Cut just the tips so that the claws are not sharp anymore. Have some medicine nearby just in case you do cut it too short: some are made specially to ease the pain and prevent infections.





Good luck!
Wait until your kitten falls asleep then start clipping. I always clip my cats claws while they're asleep and they rarely struggle!





Don't cut past the quick, that's the pink part of the nail. Yes you can hurt her if you cut the quick, it will start bleeding so be very careful. Just cut the tips, the clear part of the nail.





A pet nail clipper would be best. But if you don't have one you can use a human nail clipper but turn the clipper to the side so the claw doesn't split.





You can file them after clipping if you want but there's really no need to do it.





Hope this helps!
This is a trick endeavor, but one that can be mastered. I use a baby nail clippers and only cut off to the curve of the nail. Kittens tend to have very thin and pointy nails so it shouldn't take much effot. Do be careful to not cut too short or it will bleed and hurt the kitten.
Here is a good decription.





Trimming their claws is easy and if you start while they are young and do it often they won't even think it's a bother when they are older. One trick is not to push them to fast. If they seem restless, stop for a while (like 1/2 hour or so) and do some more later. Add teeth brushing to the same ';Sitting'; and call it their ';spa day'; :)
You can buy nail clippers at the pet store, and to tell how long you look at the vain in the nail and clip just a little over the vain.





If you need to ask anymore questions you should go to the vet the pet store or ask me.
Here's a link to an article that should answer your question...

How do i stop biting my nails?

I am 19 and i have been biting my nails since i cant remember! I want to stop and i've tried using those bad taste products but it still doesnt work. I have tried growing them for a bit but then when one started braking i ended up chewing all of them off :(.... need help!!!


Also what products can i use to strengthen my nails that really work. I have tried those sally h. ones but they dont workHow do i stop biting my nails?
here are some tips which worked so well for me! i finally painted my nails again after agesss today because they are finally long! :D


http://myfashionaddictions.blogspot.com/鈥?/a>How do i stop biting my nails?
You are a little too old to be biting nails, so i think that it's really time to STOP! I'm not kidding. Now, many people bite their nails and then it gets to a habit. That is unfortuanately what happened to you.


Here are some tips ...





1.) Get a manicure. Go to the salon and ask for long nails. You can't bite them! Atleast for 3-4 weeks have those fake nails on, you can't take them off remember!





2.) Think! Why do you bite your nails? When did i start? Did i ever stop? How did i stop? How did i get back to the habit?





Reminder: Sally H. works, buy the one that says ';Strengethens Nail Enemal'; use for a month, and your nails will get stronger.





I hope i helped. These tips are good. Use them wisely.
There is a stuff that is sold at the drugstore that you put ion your nails and it taste really bad.it it does not work,do what a friend of mine did,pamper your nails every day, soak them in water and olive oil,cut out the cuticle (gently please) and apply a base coat to your nails...this will sound silly since you probably don't have nails to beggin with but after putting all that work for your nails you won't want to do anything to damage them,and since you are taking care of them you will see results within weeks...once you see your nails growing and looking better you definitely be encouraged to leave them alone!!
I've been biting my nails since I can remember and I'm 18 now. When I put bad-tasting stuff on them, I get really stressed and can think of nothing but biting my nails. Try having something in your pocket (a stress ball or something) you can squeeze whenever you feel the impulse to bite. I haven't tried it yet, but I hear it's very effective.
Book yourself in for a proper maincure from a professional nail salon from a fully qualified nail technician. DO NOT attempt to cut your cuticle or eponychium as a previous poster has suggested. Please see a reputable professional nail tech, they will be able to advise you as to the best possible way to grow your nails. Some even have a course of treatments available specifically designed for nail biters, helping them break the nail biting habit.
The best thing to do is to always occupy your hands. when your hands are idle and just sitting there, that's when you bite them. Also try looking at other people who bite their nails because when you actually see it, you get disgusted by it and try to quit.


Another thing you can try is get a manicure. When your nails look nice and pretty, you'd rather not bite them. :)


This is all coming from a seasoned nail biter who quit last year. Good luck! ;)
I have the EXACT same problem...minus the fact that I'm two years younger than you.





What my friend did (and what I'm going to try soon) is she got fake nails done and kept them on for about two months (getting them filled and such), then by the time she took them off her nails were pretty long (well, they showed a lot of white at least).





Then she used one of those nail strengthening kits (with the four-sided buffer thing...most beauty supply places should have them) to get them to look healthy since the fake nails make original nails look bad.





I guess this worked for her because by the time she got the nails off she had broken her habbit, not getting satisfaction out of biting the fake ones.





Hope this works for both of us!
My sister is answering this.





What you have to do is get a manicure. you won't want to bite your nails because they will look soooo pretty.





If you want to make your nails stonger try using french manicure and also you can apply french maniure then apply the nail polish then apply french manicure again.
Thie really works. All you need is Tabasco sauce and clear nail polish. Pour some of hot sauce into the polish. Apply the polish on your nails. If you try to bite them, they will taste hot. It'd be a sharp reminder to keep your nails out of your mouth.
its a habit that a lot of people including myself have, just try putting some nail polish on them thangs, it may prevent you from biting em a little bit
Nail Tek products work really well. You can find them in salons or stores like Trade Secret.

How do you put on Artificial Nails?

I bought some fake nails, and I need to know how to put them on. Is the curved part 'in' your nails or the 'length' of your nails? I'M SO CONFUSED!How do you put on Artificial Nails?
My tips to get home nails to stay on.





Wash your hands properly...you want to remove all traces of grease or oils. While your hands are still damp gently push back your cuticles.





Match the fake nails to your own as closely as possible, shape them to fit the sides and cuticle area. Never go for a nail that's on the small side or it will ping off and can cause permanent damage to your own nail. If there isn't a match go a size up and file down to fit.





Score the underside of the fake nail with a nail file...cross hatch scoring, this aids the adhesion.





Lay all nails out in the order that you will be using them...on a stable flat surface, no good sitting down and scattering them.





After all this wash your hands again, your fingers and nails are constantly releasing oils.





Rub your natural nail with a cotton bud dipped in acetone, your nail should turn a milky colour, this is dehydrating your natural nail plate temporarily but really makes a difference.





Spread a small amount of good quality nail glue on fake nail and place on to your nail, press and hold for 10-15 seconds...do this with all 10





Voila... a set of fakes that should last for around 10 days








Ask the chemist for acetone, its pretty cheap but its kept behind the counterHow do you put on Artificial Nails?
You should tidy up your cuticles first, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes and push them back gently. Find the best fitting nails and do a dry run with the fake nails first. When you go to put them on for real, remember to use only a small drop of glue, there's no need to use a lot which would only make them impossible to take off later. Before you put them on it might be good to take a file and tidy the nails for a better fit. Most fake nails you buy come square shaped and pretty long so you might want to shape them. Not too sure what you mean by the curved part but it shouldn't be a problem. Good luck!

How can I do aesthetics and nails?

I want to go to school for aesthetics and nails but dont I need a room for aesthetics and a desk for nails? Is the only way I can do both is if a rent a booth at a salon with an available room? Where can I get these questions answered? I cant find a beauty chat room.... thanksHow can I do aesthetics and nails?
If your not licensed, Then you would have to take one course, Then the other, or you can take the Cosmetology Course and become licensed in Hair, Nails and Skin(Esthetics.). You wouldn't go to a Salon to work till you graduate, You would go to a Cosmetology School and they would have all the set up you need.





When you get a job, You may have to do one or the other, Or if your lucky, You may be able to do both if the girl is hiring for both, or has the room.
