I don't have a regular nail file and I really need to file my nails. Is there anything else I can use to file them?What is another way file your nails?
sandpaper or a knife edge, no joke like a dinner knife the little ridges on the edge.What is another way file your nails?
Sand paper? Bricks? KNIVES?! Oh my gosh, they all sound brutal :(
I don't know why you can't get a regular nail file... they sell them in a pack of 10 for a buck at any drug store.
I can't suggest any alternatives, but I can tell you that if you use any of the alternatives the other answerers suggested, you'll just rough up your nails and they'll snag onto everything.
I have filed my nails on a brick wall and sandpaper before :)

Which works better for strengthening your nails: Vaseline or vegetable oil?
my nails are weak and i';v heard both work but i want to know which works better. please help!, my nails are counting on u!Which works better for strengthening your nails: Vaseline or vegetable oil?
I haven't heard if vaseline or cooking oil will help strengthen your nails.
I have however heard anything with gelatin will improve the strength of your nails. So add jello or pudding to your diet and this will help.
If you need something a little faster I do like the Sally Hansen ';Hard as Nails'; nail products. You can find them at just about any store.Which works better for strengthening your nails: Vaseline or vegetable oil?
I've never heard of these two as nail strengtheners but I think the vegetable oil makes a little more sense. Try a Sally Hansen product (one comes in a gold bottle, I've used it and I liked it) and try not to wet your nails for extended periods of time. I've heard that vitamin E (biotin) is good for hair, skin and nails and make sure you're eating a well-balanced diet. Switch your nail polish remover to one without acetone and don't repaint them too frequently (once a week with touch-ups should suffice). Good luck! :]
Forget both. What you need is a vitamin supplement containing calcium and vitamin D. And make sure you're getting calcium through drinking milk and eating yogort.
Good luck!

How long should my dog's nails be?
I want my dog to be happy, and I know how annoying long fingernails can be. Imagine if you couldn't clip your own nails when you wanted to! It would totally suck.How long should my dog's nails be?
Vet or groomer can do it regularly. Mine charges 7.50 to clip the nails, and even sometimes just does it without charge as a part of the visit. Have it done at least monthly.How long should my dog's nails be?
Dogs nails no longer than the pads, this causes them not to walk normal, interferes with the natural gait.
If they are let go and get too long, you need to slowly trim back, not all at once, you could hurt the dog.
Take to a groomer and begin getting them in shape.
the pecking on floors, if you can hear the nails hitting the floor then they are too long, way to long.....
good luck
Be careful, do not trim back too far too fast, you can hit a vein and cause pain and bleeding to your baby.
Ideally, they shouldn't hit the floor, so no longer than the paw pads are deep. However, if they've been allowed to grow longer than that, then the quicks have as well and you will need to work them back slowly.
It's not just annoying, it changes the dog's gait when the nails are too long, because weight is being borne by the nails instead of the pads. It can realy mess a dog up! In the winter, a dog with overly long nails will rip the paw pads because the weight of the dog is borne on the nails when it's icy. They tear where they meet the nails. So yes, you need to stay on top of the nails for health reasons, not only cosmetic.
ETA: They don't wear themselves down naturally unless your dog is always on a hard, abrasive surface like concrete. Even then, they won't all wear evenly. You do need to trim them.
If your dog is active, dont worry about his nails, theyll take care of themselves as his feet move around. If not, cut to just before the quik. Im sure there are pictures online. The quik is a vein in the foot. If you cut the tip of it off, the nail will bleed and it will hurt your dog more than leaving his nails long.
they should be any length but never curling undernieth. the tip of the nail should be flat against the ground so as soon as you nothice any kind of curling, clip the nail straight across or take him for a run on a sidewalk.
you shouldn't hear your dog's nail scratchin against the floor when its walkin around your house...if you do, this means your dog needs nail trimming as its already too long.

How to get your nails back to normal after having acrylic nails removed ?
i just got my acrylic nails removed and my nails are crazy thin and all bumpy and like all layery!! is there any way i can get them like normal agin or just to look better with out spending alot of money! so thanks guys for the help :DDDHow to get your nails back to normal after having acrylic nails removed ?
I've had acrylic nails three times. but sorry to say but no all you can do is wait. If their all bumpy just use a buffer (you can buy one at walmart for like 2 dollars), don't use it too much though because they'll just get thinner. but they'll grow pretty fast. Just remember time is the healer for all things!
Good Luck,
ChasityHow to get your nails back to normal after having acrylic nails removed ?
You can get a nail buffer, which is a four-sided resurfacing tool that will smooth your nails and stimulate growth. They cost between ten and twenty dollars and can be found online. You can also get Sally Hansen Hard as Nails to help you out while they're regrowing. Otherwise, all you can do is wait until they grow back out.
I would recommend Nailtiques Stage 2. Use it as directed and your nails will be stronger in no time. Also, use a buffer to help with the roughness.
try to drink more milk, it will make your nails more think and pretty :)
and don't bite them... that is the worst thing you can do

When people die, can their hair and nails keep growing?
I think I've read this somewhere that your hair and nails keep growing after death. Is this true? Thanks for your answers.When people die, can their hair and nails keep growing?
nope.When people die, can their hair and nails keep growing?
no, but the hair and nails cannot be decompose
no.
Its not that your nails and hair are growin...OH WAIT EVERYONE ELSE ALREADY SAID THAT A BILLION TIMES. Please people dont post just to post..If someone answered it dont put the same thing down sheesh!
It's a common urban legend that hair and fingernails keep growing after death. They may look like they are growing a little, if so it is actually the skin receding that causes the effect.
Snopes.com is a great website to look to for debunking urban legends. The link to their page about this topic is below.
well technically there will be like a few milliseconds between when you are technically dead and when the nails and **** stops growing
i dont think so bcoz growin process occurs due to biological process in body cells if we die all process stops so how can they grow
i may be wrong but i think no growth is there
no.
Hair and fingernails aren't actually growing. Dead is dead. The only things growing after you're dead are worms, bacteria, and flowers. What is happening, however, is that the skin around the hair and fingernails will desiccate (i.e., lose water) and thereby shrink. When the skin shrinks, it retracts, making hair and fingernails look longer, as if they'd grown.
Think of it this way: a fifty foot tree grows in ten feet of swamp water. The visible part of the tree is 40' tall. A few months later, a drought causes the water level to drop five feet. Now the visible part of the tree is 45' tall. Did the tree grow in a drought? No, but you can see why people would think it did.
Hope that helps, and remember, don't try this at home!
It's not so much that your hair and nails are still growing, than it is your skin is shriveling up and decomposing. It's impossible for any part of your body to function, or grow after death. True, it may seem like their still growing, but it's really just dead flesh beggining to decompose, and shriveling up and away from the nails, hair, and everything else.
No because there cells die out too.
no
no
no its impossible b/c after death every cell became demage
Naa.
ya it is true because they are not provided by scissors and nailcutters.We are not knowing it as no one is opening coffins.
When someone dies the body becomes dehydrated which result to shrinking. Hair and nails appear to have grown over a period of time because of this phenomenon. But its just the dessication of the dead body.. Nothing special.
Their hair and nails do not keep growing.
What happens is that the surrounding tissues recess, and it makes it appear that the nails and hair have grown.
Yes .. and no.
It's not that the hair and nails grow, it's that the skin and body shrink and contract, making the hair and nails extend further ... in a sense, growing, although they're technically not grown at all.

Whats the diffrence between Acrylic nails and Gel nails?
I ask this question because I heard that if you get acyrlic on your nails
it can help them grow.Whats the diffrence between Acrylic nails and Gel nails?
The difference is that gel nails are more natural and a lot easier on your natural nail. Acrylics are much more harsh on your nail and make your natural nail much weaker than they were before you put the acrylics on.

How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
It depends on what will motivate her to stop, and why she's doing it in the first place. I was a habitual nail-biter since age 6 or so, and my parents tried everything! Rubber band around the wrist to distract me from biting, the polish that tastes bad (this may be a good option!) and multiple rewards and punishments. Is your daughter biting because she's nervous or scared about something, or is it just a habit that she doesn't even realize she's doing?
Good luck. . . . it's a hard habit to quit!How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Well,
They make this sort of special nail polish. It stays on your nails for a while. the thing is it smells TERRIBLE and when you put your hand to your face you automatically pull your hand away cause it stinks!
OR
you could show her how pretty it is to have long nails and how she can paint them all different colors...maybe encourage her by going out and buying her a set of different colored nail polishes...
but! remeber dark colors arnt good for your nails it keeps sunlight from being absorbed by them.How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Do something fun like taking her out and getting her nails done.
do her nails paint them pretty girl colors light pinks, red, purples, what ever her fave color is. and make a huge deal out of keeping her nails looking good. don't tell her why though just do it and don't nag (never works, ask our own parents). just make sure every 3-4 days her nails are always kept pretty, she will stop biting them.
Confront your problem. Get a camera and take some pictures of your bitten fingernails. Examine your nails, and list their problems.
Visualize yourself with healthy nails, and how great they will look.
Pick at least one nail to ';protect'; at a time.
After a few days, an unbitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite it. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones.
Once you have grown your unbitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. And another.
Record your progress in a notebook or photo album. Take ';before and after'; photos of your nails and put them in the book to keep you motivated. Recognizing that it usually takes takes three weeks to grow nails half a centimeter, chart out in the book how long you want your nails to be by a certain date.
Eat calcium- and magnesium- rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is the lack of calcium and magnesium in the body and the body needs that material back.
Push your cuticles back. Many nail-biters do not have ';moons'; on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting.
Find a habit to take the place of nail biting. Whenever you have the urge to bite, do that instead. Some people like to drum their fingers, or just stare at their hands. Just make sure it's not a bad habit; choose a helpful one or one that doesn't really matter either way. 'Bitrex' is a chemical that is put in products to make them taste foul, obtained from your local pharmacy. It's included in nibble inhibitors that you paint on to your nails. Carry some with you at all times. Apply your nasty solution several times a day. If you get used to the taste, choose another brand.
Distract your mouth. Eat carrot sticks to keep you busy. Keep a stick of gum handy for those weak moments.
No more idle hands..Distract your hands by taking up a hobby.
A hobby to distract your hands might be making models or maintaining your house, knitting or crochet, running or other outside pursuits, or even nail care and decoration!
For those whose nail biting is obsessive/compulsive it may help to approach your hobby obsessively.
Cover your nails. For females, fit artificial nails. They can really help. For guys, polish them and apply some shine/growth promoter or petroleum jelly. It's harder to bite nails that are looking great!
Keep gloves in your back pocket and wear them when you want to bite.
Put little pieces of tape on the ends of your fingers, to remind yourself how destructive biting is.
If you have any surplus growth, cut your nails back. Keep clippers with you at all times. You can't bite if there's nothing there!
Speaking about your nails will help to focus your mind on your goals. Ask for help from your partner(s). Keep talking about your goals.
Show off your improved nails, and get much-needed encouragement and praise from your peers.
Be proud of your improving nails. They will shine with beauty.
Go for a manicure, and chat with the manicurist about having great nails.
If you are male and you go in for a manicure and anyone gives you grief for not being manly, just say you are taking radical steps, whatever it takes. That should be manly enough for anyone.
Keep looking after your nails, with cuticle oil, shine and growth promoter, and no biting!
Get to know yourself, the first step is to be conscious when you start biting your nails. Feel your anxiety or stress levels.
Don't start thinking there is a short term solution. To stop nail biting, one requires patience and awareness.
Use an emery board to file when ever you feel like biting. Even if you file them down to nothing, it's better then chewing into your nail bed. Ouch!
Try using a coating that seals moisture in the nail and repels water and dirt. Oils or even waxy lip balm can be effective at softening nails.
Keep going with the program, any setbacks should be confronted as quickly as possible, to prevent a complete relapse.
Let white spots grow out gently. They are caused by blows or stress to the nail.
Take magnesium pills, one a day. They strengthen the nails and make them hard.
Try keeping an ';egg'; of Silly Putty with you! It is fun to play with and it occupies your hands during biting-prone times like while watching movies or television or sitting in class. Or you can try keeping a quarter or other coin in your pocket, and play with it when you feel the urge to bite your nails. Plus, these don't involve eating or chewing on anything, so they will help break the habit of oral fixation.
Challenge yourself: how many hours can you go without taking a bite? When you break a previous record, get yourself a treat. Then see: can you go a day? Three days? a week? two weeks?
Clean, manicured nails will be such an improvement to your self-esteem. You'll see!
If the habit is unconscious (i.e., you don't even notice yourself starting to do it), consider using NLP or hypnotherapy - practitioners will know some great techniques for retraining your mind very quickly and easily to remove unwanted habits.
See if you can notice how or when you decide to start biting. There may be an underlying cause of stress, nerves or boredom perhaps. Dealing with the underlying and real issue could stop the nail biting and more.
Try chewing gum to keep your mouth busy.
You might also want to try putting nail polish on. Since it tastes so bad, you won't want to bite your nails anymore.
As your nails/skin grow, they will seem puffy and itchy. This is normal! This fudge-finger sensation will go away in time.
Clean your nails! Part of the reason you bite them is because they are dirty. Buff then, scrub them, clean them. This will make you appreciate them more.
If you are artistic, try doing projects with clay or plaster. It gets all over your hands, and the flavour stays in your nails (and all over your hands) long after you wash off any visible mess. They both taste bad to many people (clay tastes salty and can leave a slimy texture and plaster tastes chalky) and doing the projects will also keep your hands busy.
Put nail jewels on your nails. These are hard to bite, and the risk of one coming off in your mouth may scare you into quitting your habit.
Remember that long ago, people used to think that bitten nails got lodged in people's intestines (to this day some parents still tell their children this). Even though we know now that this is not actually true, it's a gross thing to think about as you chew...
Don't be silly and replace nail-biting with a worse habit. While stubby digits are unhealthy and painful, other habits can be worse.
Chewing your fingernails invites infection.
Brittle nails can be caused by strong detergents and chemicals, sun exposure, poor diet, or prolonged use of nail hardeners. Avoid the use of hardeners containing formaldehyde, which has a drying effect on nails.
Remember beauty is only skin deep. As is ugly. Telling yourself you are ugly will only undermine your self esteem and keep you from being your best. Tell yourself instead that you are a special person and that you deserve to have healthy looking nails too.
you can buy this nail polish that is really nasty!!!! and when she bites her nails she will hate it. if she doesn;t let u out it on her nails then do it when she is asleep. well i hope i helped.
Biting nails is a bad habit... but people do it to reduce stress. If you really want her to stop, make sure she trims her fingernails short and often, and tell her if she stops biting them, that you will treat her to a manicure. You could also give her that special nail polish that tastes bad and smells bad or dip her nails in something gross that tastes bad, like vinegar.
it might seem punishing, but if she don't like spicy food ...put something on her nails like hotsauce...or even putting tape on her finger tips...just put something on them or cut them low so she won't be able to get to them
Well, my step sister was a real bad nail-biter, and my parents used to dip her fingers in viniger, that worked preaty well.recipes cream

do her nails paint them pretty girl colors light pinks, red, purples, what ever her fave color is. and make a huge deal out of keeping her nails looking good. don't tell her why though just do it and don't nag (never works, ask our own parents). just make sure every 3-4 days her nails are always kept pretty, she will stop biting them.
Confront your problem. Get a camera and take some pictures of your bitten fingernails. Examine your nails, and list their problems.
Visualize yourself with healthy nails, and how great they will look.
Pick at least one nail to ';protect'; at a time.
After a few days, an unbitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite it. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones.
Once you have grown your unbitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. And another.
Record your progress in a notebook or photo album. Take ';before and after'; photos of your nails and put them in the book to keep you motivated. Recognizing that it usually takes takes three weeks to grow nails half a centimeter, chart out in the book how long you want your nails to be by a certain date.
Eat calcium- and magnesium- rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is the lack of calcium and magnesium in the body and the body needs that material back.
Push your cuticles back. Many nail-biters do not have ';moons'; on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting.
Find a habit to take the place of nail biting. Whenever you have the urge to bite, do that instead. Some people like to drum their fingers, or just stare at their hands. Just make sure it's not a bad habit; choose a helpful one or one that doesn't really matter either way. 'Bitrex' is a chemical that is put in products to make them taste foul, obtained from your local pharmacy. It's included in nibble inhibitors that you paint on to your nails. Carry some with you at all times. Apply your nasty solution several times a day. If you get used to the taste, choose another brand.
Distract your mouth. Eat carrot sticks to keep you busy. Keep a stick of gum handy for those weak moments.
No more idle hands..Distract your hands by taking up a hobby.
A hobby to distract your hands might be making models or maintaining your house, knitting or crochet, running or other outside pursuits, or even nail care and decoration!
For those whose nail biting is obsessive/compulsive it may help to approach your hobby obsessively.
Cover your nails. For females, fit artificial nails. They can really help. For guys, polish them and apply some shine/growth promoter or petroleum jelly. It's harder to bite nails that are looking great!
Keep gloves in your back pocket and wear them when you want to bite.
Put little pieces of tape on the ends of your fingers, to remind yourself how destructive biting is.
If you have any surplus growth, cut your nails back. Keep clippers with you at all times. You can't bite if there's nothing there!
Speaking about your nails will help to focus your mind on your goals. Ask for help from your partner(s). Keep talking about your goals.
Show off your improved nails, and get much-needed encouragement and praise from your peers.
Be proud of your improving nails. They will shine with beauty.
Go for a manicure, and chat with the manicurist about having great nails.
If you are male and you go in for a manicure and anyone gives you grief for not being manly, just say you are taking radical steps, whatever it takes. That should be manly enough for anyone.
Keep looking after your nails, with cuticle oil, shine and growth promoter, and no biting!
Get to know yourself, the first step is to be conscious when you start biting your nails. Feel your anxiety or stress levels.
Don't start thinking there is a short term solution. To stop nail biting, one requires patience and awareness.
Use an emery board to file when ever you feel like biting. Even if you file them down to nothing, it's better then chewing into your nail bed. Ouch!
Try using a coating that seals moisture in the nail and repels water and dirt. Oils or even waxy lip balm can be effective at softening nails.
Keep going with the program, any setbacks should be confronted as quickly as possible, to prevent a complete relapse.
Let white spots grow out gently. They are caused by blows or stress to the nail.
Take magnesium pills, one a day. They strengthen the nails and make them hard.
Try keeping an ';egg'; of Silly Putty with you! It is fun to play with and it occupies your hands during biting-prone times like while watching movies or television or sitting in class. Or you can try keeping a quarter or other coin in your pocket, and play with it when you feel the urge to bite your nails. Plus, these don't involve eating or chewing on anything, so they will help break the habit of oral fixation.
Challenge yourself: how many hours can you go without taking a bite? When you break a previous record, get yourself a treat. Then see: can you go a day? Three days? a week? two weeks?
Clean, manicured nails will be such an improvement to your self-esteem. You'll see!
If the habit is unconscious (i.e., you don't even notice yourself starting to do it), consider using NLP or hypnotherapy - practitioners will know some great techniques for retraining your mind very quickly and easily to remove unwanted habits.
See if you can notice how or when you decide to start biting. There may be an underlying cause of stress, nerves or boredom perhaps. Dealing with the underlying and real issue could stop the nail biting and more.
Try chewing gum to keep your mouth busy.
You might also want to try putting nail polish on. Since it tastes so bad, you won't want to bite your nails anymore.
As your nails/skin grow, they will seem puffy and itchy. This is normal! This fudge-finger sensation will go away in time.
Clean your nails! Part of the reason you bite them is because they are dirty. Buff then, scrub them, clean them. This will make you appreciate them more.
If you are artistic, try doing projects with clay or plaster. It gets all over your hands, and the flavour stays in your nails (and all over your hands) long after you wash off any visible mess. They both taste bad to many people (clay tastes salty and can leave a slimy texture and plaster tastes chalky) and doing the projects will also keep your hands busy.
Put nail jewels on your nails. These are hard to bite, and the risk of one coming off in your mouth may scare you into quitting your habit.
Remember that long ago, people used to think that bitten nails got lodged in people's intestines (to this day some parents still tell their children this). Even though we know now that this is not actually true, it's a gross thing to think about as you chew...
Don't be silly and replace nail-biting with a worse habit. While stubby digits are unhealthy and painful, other habits can be worse.
Chewing your fingernails invites infection.
Brittle nails can be caused by strong detergents and chemicals, sun exposure, poor diet, or prolonged use of nail hardeners. Avoid the use of hardeners containing formaldehyde, which has a drying effect on nails.
Remember beauty is only skin deep. As is ugly. Telling yourself you are ugly will only undermine your self esteem and keep you from being your best. Tell yourself instead that you are a special person and that you deserve to have healthy looking nails too.
you can buy this nail polish that is really nasty!!!! and when she bites her nails she will hate it. if she doesn;t let u out it on her nails then do it when she is asleep. well i hope i helped.
Biting nails is a bad habit... but people do it to reduce stress. If you really want her to stop, make sure she trims her fingernails short and often, and tell her if she stops biting them, that you will treat her to a manicure. You could also give her that special nail polish that tastes bad and smells bad or dip her nails in something gross that tastes bad, like vinegar.
it might seem punishing, but if she don't like spicy food ...put something on her nails like hotsauce...or even putting tape on her finger tips...just put something on them or cut them low so she won't be able to get to them
Well, my step sister was a real bad nail-biter, and my parents used to dip her fingers in viniger, that worked preaty well.
Any easy ways to stop biting your nails?
I have been biting my fingernails for 9 years and can't seem to stop. Does anyone have any eay ways to quit? Please help me!!Any easy ways to stop biting your nails?
Paint your nails with a nasty tasting clear nail polish.
You can find it in the nail aisle of any store.
Also, maybe try taking some calcium supplements. A sign of needing calcium is biting your nails because they are pure calcium.Any easy ways to stop biting your nails?
Keep your nails polished and buffed. When they start to grow, make sure to keep them shaped with an emory board. You can also put on some hand lotion when you're tempted to bite your nails.
Go to weekly manicuers and let them put red (or any very standout colour) on your nails, possibly nailart too. And scheduele your next appiotment right away. Helps from more reasons - bright colour discourages you to bite it, you'll be embarrased to go to same nail salon every week with your nails bitten, you'll like your new nails too much to bite them and you definitely won't like to throw your money away for service you would ruin. Worked for me, good luck!
put dog **** on your nels ???????
They sell a polish at Eckerds, CVS, etc, that is very bitter. It's to help you lose the urge to bite them.
nail biting is a habit. I broke my habit by paying for and maintaining acrylic nails for six months. I don't need the acrylic anymore, and I don't chew my nails anymore either.

What's the best type of acrylic nails?
I would just like your opinion of what the best type of acrylic nails are. and If you could give a reason why thatd be awesome :)What's the best type of acrylic nails?
I always prefer natural nails if possible. If you are interested in acrylic nails, I'd ask someone whose nails you admire where they had them applied, and go there - word of mouth is often one of the best recommendations.

What are the white spots on peoples' nails?
I was taking my nail polish off the other day, and everyone has had this, but there are these white spots down near your cuticles.. what IS that? I've always wondered.What are the white spots on peoples' nails?
The white spots are called Leukonychia, the presence of white spots on the nail surface, is very common. It's often caused by a minor trauma to the nail bed or matrix. The white spots grow out as the nail grows.
Hope this helps ~BonWhat are the white spots on peoples' nails?

Can i paint on gel nails and remove with normal nail varnish remover?
No, not if they are UV gel nails. Those require a UV lamp, and cannot be soaked off. While there are a couple of nail gels available that are soakable, and do not require a UV lamp, these gels are not any good. Don't waste your time or money on them.Can i paint on gel nails and remove with normal nail varnish remover?
you need to but the correct varnish remover
boots sell itCan i paint on gel nails and remove with normal nail varnish remover?
no, you'll ruin them if u use an normal remover
if its acetone free nail varnish your nails will be fine
as long as you use an acetone free remover...
the varnish remover will ruin the false nails so I suggest that you dont do that
It will only work with an acetone free nail varnish remover x
You have to make sure that you use non-acetone nail polish remover with acrylic nails, so I assume the same goes for gel nails as well.recipes cream

Do you file or cut your babies nails?
Every had any accidents? Is it hard to file them? Do you always wait for when your baby is asleep?Do you file or cut your babies nails?
I bite my daughters while she feeds. Its the only time she is still long enough!Do you file or cut your babies nails?
I use a tiny pair of baby nail clippers to trim my 9 week old daughter's nails and I usually do it when she is awake and calm (not too playful).
I've never had an accident, I make sure I hold her hand firmly so she can't move it and accidentally get cut.
I know you're supposed to file them for young babies but I couldn't do it efficiently.
I did have an oops and cut my little one while clipping her nails when she was about a month old. I felt terrible!
i started to file her nails down while she slept when she was a newborn, now i cut them also while she sleeps. shes such a busy body while awake and there will be MANY accidents!
Yes, I have had a couple accidents when my son was little. It is very hard to clip there nails at any age to be honest with you. I would recommend filing them, I filed my sons nails b/c clipping was too hard whether he was 1 month or 10 months old. Filing to me is alot safer for you and your baby! gl!
I cut my daughter's nails right after a bath, they are softer and sometimes I can just peel the tips right off. I put her in her boppy and prop her bottle so I can get to her hands. No accidents as she is still when she eats. Hope this helps =)
You can file them but i find the rubbing of the nail bed is too abrasive for their little fingers. -bite them, you will have better control of how far you cut, when they get a bit older then cut them.
I've cut them since she was born. Never had an accident. Sophie has actually always sat still and watched me do it!!! LOL it's so funny, like she enjoys her baby manicure!! :) She is now 2, and she still sits and watches while I do it!
Dad used to cut her nails but had an accident, now I'm chief cutter and I do it when she is calm. It doesn't seem to bother her too much. I just whisper soft words whilst doing it and she just watches me cut away.
Although I our daughter is still in my tummy, we've been told that as a way for dad to bond with baby, get him to bite the nails.
I file them alot more often than cut them. My daughter is now 3 months and I am just now feeling comfortable cutting them. They are just so small!! I only cut them after a bath when they are nice and soft, too.
i cut Hollys nails using baby scissors,she just sits and watches wondering what im doing,ive never had an accident *touches wood*.
when her nails need cut, i let her nap with me in the afternoon, i bite her nails when she is sleeping, then transfer her to her cot when im done.
so i wouldnt file them..ist not good...its better to cut them, but its hard when the baby is awake :) i would cut them when the little beauty are sleeping :)))
just be very careful when u file it ... surely u do not wan to hurt ur baby
make sure u have enough concentration when u do it ..

How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
It depends on what will motivate her to stop, and why she's doing it in the first place. I was a habitual nail-biter since age 6 or so, and my parents tried everything! Rubber band around the wrist to distract me from biting, the polish that tastes bad (this may be a good option!) and multiple rewards and punishments. Is your daughter biting because she's nervous or scared about something, or is it just a habit that she doesn't even realize she's doing?
Good luck. . . . it's a hard habit to quit!How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Well,
They make this sort of special nail polish. It stays on your nails for a while. the thing is it smells TERRIBLE and when you put your hand to your face you automatically pull your hand away cause it stinks!
OR
you could show her how pretty it is to have long nails and how she can paint them all different colors...maybe encourage her by going out and buying her a set of different colored nail polishes...
but! remeber dark colors arnt good for your nails it keeps sunlight from being absorbed by them.How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Do something fun like taking her out and getting her nails done.
do her nails paint them pretty girl colors light pinks, red, purples, what ever her fave color is. and make a huge deal out of keeping her nails looking good. don't tell her why though just do it and don't nag (never works, ask our own parents). just make sure every 3-4 days her nails are always kept pretty, she will stop biting them.

If you really want her to stop, make sure she trims her fingernails short and often, and tell her if she stops biting them, that you will treat her to a manicure. You could also give her that special nail polish that tastes bad and smells bad or dip her nails in something gross that tastes bad, like vinegar.
it might seem punishing, but if she don't like spicy food ...put something on her nails like hotsauce...or even putting tape on her finger tips...just put something on them or cut them low so she won't be able to get to them
Well, my step sister was a real bad nail-biter, and my parents used to dip her fingers in viniger, that worked preaty well.
Good luck. . . . it's a hard habit to quit!How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Well,
They make this sort of special nail polish. It stays on your nails for a while. the thing is it smells TERRIBLE and when you put your hand to your face you automatically pull your hand away cause it stinks!
OR
you could show her how pretty it is to have long nails and how she can paint them all different colors...maybe encourage her by going out and buying her a set of different colored nail polishes...
but! remeber dark colors arnt good for your nails it keeps sunlight from being absorbed by them.How do you get your 9 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails?
Do something fun like taking her out and getting her nails done.
do her nails paint them pretty girl colors light pinks, red, purples, what ever her fave color is. and make a huge deal out of keeping her nails looking good. don't tell her why though just do it and don't nag (never works, ask our own parents). just make sure every 3-4 days her nails are always kept pretty, she will stop biting them.
Confront your problem. Get a camera and take some pictures of your bitten fingernails. Examine your nails, and list their problems.
Visualize yourself with healthy nails, and how great they will look.
Pick at least one nail to ';protect'; at a time.
After a few days, an unbitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite it. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones.
Once you have grown your unbitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. And another.
Record your progress in a notebook or photo album. Take ';before and after'; photos of your nails and put them in the book to keep you motivated. Recognizing that it usually takes takes three weeks to grow nails half a centimeter, chart out in the book how long you want your nails to be by a certain date.
Eat calcium- and magnesium- rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is the lack of calcium and magnesium in the body and the body needs that material back.
Push your cuticles back. Many nail-biters do not have ';moons'; on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting.
Find a habit to take the place of nail biting. Whenever you have the urge to bite, do that instead. Some people like to drum their fingers, or just stare at their hands. Just make sure it's not a bad habit; choose a helpful one or one that doesn't really matter either way. 'Bitrex' is a chemical that is put in products to make them taste foul, obtained from your local pharmacy. It's included in nibble inhibitors that you paint on to your nails. Carry some with you at all times. Apply your nasty solution several times a day. If you get used to the taste, choose another brand.
Distract your mouth. Eat carrot sticks to keep you busy. Keep a stick of gum handy for those weak moments.
No more idle hands..Distract your hands by taking up a hobby.
A hobby to distract your hands might be making models or maintaining your house, knitting or crochet, running or other outside pursuits, or even nail care and decoration!
For those whose nail biting is obsessive/compulsive it may help to approach your hobby obsessively.
Cover your nails. For females, fit artificial nails. They can really help. For guys, polish them and apply some shine/growth promoter or petroleum jelly. It's harder to bite nails that are looking great!
Keep gloves in your back pocket and wear them when you want to bite.
Put little pieces of tape on the ends of your fingers, to remind yourself how destructive biting is.
If you have any surplus growth, cut your nails back. Keep clippers with you at all times. You can't bite if there's nothing there!
Speaking about your nails will help to focus your mind on your goals. Ask for help from your partner(s). Keep talking about your goals.
Show off your improved nails, and get much-needed encouragement and praise from your peers.
Be proud of your improving nails. They will shine with beauty.
Go for a manicure, and chat with the manicurist about having great nails.
If you are male and you go in for a manicure and anyone gives you grief for not being manly, just say you are taking radical steps, whatever it takes. That should be manly enough for anyone.
Keep looking after your nails, with cuticle oil, shine and growth promoter, and no biting!
Get to know yourself, the first step is to be conscious when you start biting your nails. Feel your anxiety or stress levels.
Don't start thinking there is a short term solution. To stop nail biting, one requires patience and awareness.
Use an emery board to file when ever you feel like biting. Even if you file them down to nothing, it's better then chewing into your nail bed. Ouch!
Try using a coating that seals moisture in the nail and repels water and dirt. Oils or even waxy lip balm can be effective at softening nails.
Keep going with the program, any setbacks should be confronted as quickly as possible, to prevent a complete relapse.
Let white spots grow out gently. They are caused by blows or stress to the nail.
Take magnesium pills, one a day. They strengthen the nails and make them hard.
Try keeping an ';egg'; of Silly Putty with you! It is fun to play with and it occupies your hands during biting-prone times like while watching movies or television or sitting in class. Or you can try keeping a quarter or other coin in your pocket, and play with it when you feel the urge to bite your nails. Plus, these don't involve eating or chewing on anything, so they will help break the habit of oral fixation.
Challenge yourself: how many hours can you go without taking a bite? When you break a previous record, get yourself a treat. Then see: can you go a day? Three days? a week? two weeks?
Clean, manicured nails will be such an improvement to your self-esteem. You'll see!
If the habit is unconscious (i.e., you don't even notice yourself starting to do it), consider using NLP or hypnotherapy - practitioners will know some great techniques for retraining your mind very quickly and easily to remove unwanted habits.
See if you can notice how or when you decide to start biting. There may be an underlying cause of stress, nerves or boredom perhaps. Dealing with the underlying and real issue could stop the nail biting and more.
Try chewing gum to keep your mouth busy.
You might also want to try putting nail polish on. Since it tastes so bad, you won't want to bite your nails anymore.
As your nails/skin grow, they will seem puffy and itchy. This is normal! This fudge-finger sensation will go away in time.
Clean your nails! Part of the reason you bite them is because they are dirty. Buff then, scrub them, clean them. This will make you appreciate them more.
If you are artistic, try doing projects with clay or plaster. It gets all over your hands, and the flavour stays in your nails (and all over your hands) long after you wash off any visible mess. They both taste bad to many people (clay tastes salty and can leave a slimy texture and plaster tastes chalky) and doing the projects will also keep your hands busy.
Put nail jewels on your nails. These are hard to bite, and the risk of one coming off in your mouth may scare you into quitting your habit.
Remember that long ago, people used to think that bitten nails got lodged in people's intestines (to this day some parents still tell their children this). Even though we know now that this is not actually true, it's a gross thing to think about as you chew...
Don't be silly and replace nail-biting with a worse habit. While stubby digits are unhealthy and painful, other habits can be worse.
Chewing your fingernails invites infection.
Brittle nails can be caused by strong detergents and chemicals, sun exposure, poor diet, or prolonged use of nail hardeners. Avoid the use of hardeners containing formaldehyde, which has a drying effect on nails.
Remember beauty is only skin deep. As is ugly. Telling yourself you are ugly will only undermine your self esteem and keep you from being your best. Tell yourself instead that you are a special person and that you deserve to have healthy looking nails too.

What's the best type of acrylic nails?
I would just like your opinion of what the best type of acrylic nails are. and If you could give a reason why thatd be awesome :)What's the best type of acrylic nails?
I always prefer natural nails if possible. If you are interested in acrylic nails, I'd ask someone whose nails you admire where they had them applied, and go there - word of mouth is often one of the best recommendations.
