When i wake up in the morning my finger nails are brown and they smell and taste spicy. What happens at night?

someone is sneeking in your room at night,while your asleep and putting taco bell refied beans on your handsWhen i wake up in the morning my finger nails are brown and they smell and taste spicy. What happens at night?
I know that it sounds strange, but do you grind your teeth at night? If you do then it could be that you have worms or other parasites. Often people that have pin worms will scratch their bum and grind their teeth while sleeping. A quick trip to the doc can help with this.


You may also need to just wipe better (lots of guys don't, 'speacially when they are really hairy). There are some anal cleansing lotions that you can get at your local drug store that are easy to use. just wipe a little on and wipe it off with a tissue.When i wake up in the morning my finger nails are brown and they smell and taste spicy.

I don't know but your brother was just here complaining about a sore back? Have you been violently scratching his back at night?
You talk in your sleep and then put your hand in what comes out on the pillow.
You're prolly scratching yourself a lot at night.

I wanna know how to grow out my finger nails....?

I have weak, bending nails.. I need to grow them out for my job, ya know so I will look professional. No I aint a hooker. I work in an office. I cant use fake nails. They are not for me. Is there some sort of polish to put on them? HELPI wanna know how to grow out my finger nails....?
Soak your nail in sudsy water, push you cuticles back and paint your nails with a hardener polish at least every 3 days. DO NOT BITE THEM.I wanna know how to grow out my finger nails....?
try silk nail hardener from ur local avon rep,it worked for me
You are exactly who fake nails are made for. Smarten up and buy some.





It's easier to type with normal nails. Keep them short and polished and you'll look professional at any job except the hooker thing.
Get a good clear strengthing polish. Make sure you are getting enough calcium in your diet, a good multi vitamin can help.
UM THERES A NAIL POLISH THAT MAKE YOUR NAIL GROW USE THAT.
the sally hansen range is GREAT


and regular manicures do help too
Make sure that you get enough Calcium. And if your food is not providing enough, get and take some supplements. Then just let Nature do the rest.





And by the way, fake fingernails are about the most ugly thing that has ever been invented by the cosmetics industry. I cannot understand why so many women use them.
hey don't be disappointed I'm trying the same thing,i bought a nail grower from U.S.A (America) it is for 2$ only %26amp; it really works.or else u can fille your nail.try that out and lemme kno.
buy a nail strengthener and harderner nailpolish to fix your nails

Why do some people finger nails look like the texture of clam shells?

The eyes have been called the windows to the soul. But your fingernails can be an excellent barometer of your physical health. From little white lines to big dark streaks, your fingernails may be trying to tell you something.











';Deficiencies in one's diet or systemic diseases or even medicines that are used to treat a problem can result in defects in the nail,'; says Dr. Jacquelyn Garrett, a Christian Hospital dermatologist.











Those little white lines are the most common defect. Those are generally considered harmless.











';Isolated white lines on the nail can be just a result of trauma. But the white appearance of the entire nail can be more of a signifying result of an internal disease such as anemia once again or a fungal infection locally, aids can even result in changes in the nail color,'; says Dr. Garrett.











A concave or spoon shaped nail is reason for concern. That can also mean low iron levels in the blood or anemia.











';That's a readily treatable problem by analyzing their blood and seeing what the blood counts are and remedying it with iron supplements.';











A half-white and half-pink or half-brownish nail can mean kidney or liver disease. People with the skin disease psoriasis may see a thickening or pitting of their nails. And brown or black streaks not caused by trauma are always cause for concern.











';Brown and black streaks in the nail, that could be indicative of malignant melanoma and that is very serious,'; says Dr. Garrett.











Usually after the health problem has been addressed, the nails will go back to normal.Why do some people finger nails look like the texture of clam shells?
Another possibility is chronic psoriasis. Depending on how it effects the individual, it can effect the look of the nails such as yellowing, pitting, warping and thickened growth.


Not pretty, but nothing that can be controlled since it is heredity causing it.Why do some people finger nails look like the texture of clam shells?
You may be describing onychogryphosis or onychomycosis. Onychogryphosis is a thickened overgrowth of the nails. Onychomycosis a fungal infection of the nail and the nail bed. Poor circulation can also result in abnormal nail appearance. Excessive, long-term nail-biting can cause uneven, ridged nails. Poor health and nutritional deficiencies do not usually result in what you have described; those appear differently.

    Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?

    Toenails naturally grow 10 times slower than fingernails. For the reason: You don't need your toe nails to grow as fast as your fingernails. We don't really use our toenails to do anything, other than look pretty when us girls where high heels or sandals.


    And it's not due to sunlight, your toenails don't photosynthesize, lol.Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    because finger nails are not covered, sun grows your nail, toe nails are always covered by shoes. and finger nails get washed more than toe nails, also water helps growing nailsWhy do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    Because we use our hands more often and the fingernails are stimulated to grow just by tapping them on a surface.
    They get more exposure to sunlight.

    Hey, i used to bite my nails .. my mum used to take a wedge of lime adn rub them on my fingers.. and every time i bit them .. i would stop cos it was really sour.. i quit and i havent ever since.. goodluck
    hehhe, that's weired....i was biting the skin around the nail when i saw your question......so i stopped....





    am sorry i have no idea, but it depends on the mode of the person, like i only do that sometimes when am thinking and i feel like am having extra pressure at work or in a situation....though i don't do it infront of people, only when am thinking alone...so perhaps you may wanna try distracting your girl by a talk, a toy, or trying to understand what's in her head....:)





    good luck
    get her some finger nail polish it should say on the label if it's to get ppl to stop biting their finger nails and make her put it on and trust me she'll stop it tastes so gross.
    she said she was 23 I'm 27 and I still bite my nails and have been since I was 5 I did stop for 2 years form 23 to 25 try getting her a manicure that always worked for me.
    put them under a microscope and show her exactly what she's putting in her mouth. Worked for me, I surely don't do that anymore.
    well i used tap and things like that
    I had this problem when I was younger... my parents tried the nail biting polish and pepper remedies... it made me want to bit them even more because it made my mouth and tongue go numb and tingle... not really something that would cause you to stop.








    What did work for me is figuring out why I did it and finding something to take its place. A ';tick'; I bit my nails when I got nervous or during long stretches of boring time... so I got into the habit of rolling quarters and pens around my fingers instead, to kinda keep me busy. Now I have some neat tricks to flaunt off too!
    Biting fingernails is a security issue..you can NOT stop it with out causing other issues!


    If she is old enough, take her to a manicurist and have silk tips applied..even then if she feels stress she will rip the fakes off and bite or tear the real nails...


    Why are you so concerned about your daughter biting her nails?? Why does she feel so insecure would be my first concern!


    I know I was a nail biter, and nail ripper, and I had good reason to do it...look for an underlying cause, there always is one!
    Every morning make her dig her fingers in a bar of soap. Trust me.
    I bit my nails 'til I was about 18 years old. Then, one Christmas, my Aunt Edna bought me a real, adult, complete, manicure set. The instructions with the kit said I should manicure my nails once a week. I did, faithfully, and by my wedding day, in August, my nails were beautiful and long. I wore white pearlized nail polish on them on my wedding day. They were so beautiful.





    I think the reason I bit them was because there would be rough edges, and I wanted clean edges. By keeping them filed and polished (even with clear polish), I no longer had rough edges to clean up, and I didn't want to ruin my manicure.





    I think if she'd just bought me the component parts, it wouldn't have done the job. The fact that everything was right there in a kit, I think did the job. I've been eternally grateful to her. I'm 67 years old and still have beautiful, long nails.





    I think, also, it helps to use hand lotion after having them in water for extended periods. It keeps the nails supple and the hands beautiful. Even better is to wear rubber gloves. They take some getting used to; but, later you don't want to touch water without them.





    Good luck to you and your daughter.
    I don't know, I wish I could stop biting mine, I'm 23 for Pete's sake!
    go to pharmacy and tell pharmacist the problem He or she will give you a product that is odorless but has a nasty taste It worked for me

    Would you rather have every hair on your body plucked one at a time or have all your finger nails ripped off?

    Ouch! Probably my fingernails ripped off. One hair at a time would take forever and the fingernails would go quickly (I hope).Would you rather have every hair on your body plucked one at a time or have all your finger nails ripped off?

  • How do I stop biting my finger nails?

    The only thing that will stop you from biting and picking at your nails is total diligence - you have to be aware of every time and situation in which you bite your nails. Keep a nail file or nail clipper handy at all times to get rid of any snags along the nail that tempt you to start biting. Whenever you notice your hands moving towards your mouth, make sure that you consciously stop, think about the moment, and find something else to do. If you do this regularly, over a period of 2 months, your new habit will become NOT biting your nails, and then you just have to maintain your new and improved habit. You can also use hand lotion, applying it after every time you are in contact with water and before bed, so that the moisture can penetrate all night long, which will improve the overall health and appearance of your hands and nails, which will give you some encouragement to keep trying every day.How do I stop biting my finger nails?
    you can get really nasty stuff u put on your fingers so when you go to bite them it tastes so nasty you dont wanna do it anymore.





    or you could put band aidsHow do I stop biting my finger nails?
    put nail polish on them...but then that might be kinda weird...lol...idk
    well i bite my nails and get acrylic nails and it keeps me from biting them and i was going to suggest that to you but uh ya... then i saw that you were a guy...


    whenever you go to bite them pick your nose.. no I'm totally kidding... just replace it with something like sit on your hands or put them in your pocket or make fists


    it takes 23 days to break a habit so good luck!
    you must cut your nails every week to make sure that you didn't not bite your nails anymore. try it.. =)
    yeah i still have that problem. get the nasty ttasting nail polish. or become a doctor/dentist/gardner. for all of these jobs u wear gloves practically all day. =)
    there used to be this stuff you dip your nails in and if you put it in your mouth it burned. i also heard of this stuff you dip your nails in and it mad them stronger so you couldent bit them. but i think that might mess up your teath.
    I've had this problem my entire life, but now I haven't been biting my nails since August (go me. xD).





    Here's what I did, and it works great.





    At your local pharmacy/general good store (CVS, Rite aid, ect) they sell this nail polish that when you up it on, it makes your nails taste like you just sprayed hairspray in your mouth.





    It's harmless and doesn't wash off unless you use nail polish. So it does the trick. The only bad side to this is that when you eat finger foods just be careful that you don't lick your fingers.





    I've been for over two months without using the product now, and I haven't bit my nails. I do however cut them short but that's just a personal choice so I don't get the temptation.





    Good luck at kicking the habit!





    - P. Sky-Captain
    theres like a clear nail polish that you can apply that tastes bitter so when you bite them you dont like te taste and also you can put alldifferent things on them. Also try putting tape on them. xD
    Don't let it grow long, keep it really short.
    next time you think about biting your finger nails, give your butt a good scratching after that you probably wont want them near your mouth.
    Um my habit is biting my nails too, so i just like slightly bite them so it feels like your biting them, but your actually not.
    There's a nail polish (it's clear) called NO BITE by ORLY...look at the nail salon... It tastes horrible so you don't want to put them in your mouth.





    Or you can put nail polish remover on them...it sort of zings your tongue.
    i used to bite my nails so much until someone told me it would be just like licking a toilet seat


    that put me off biting my nails forever


    everytime you go to bite them think of that


    it will disturb you and it might help you stop

    How do I get my 6 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails? She only started a few months ago.?

    We bought some really cute gloves for our nail biter. Since it's winter you can find all kinds of cute gloves for her.How do I get my 6 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails? She only started a few months ago.?
    First look back a couple of months and see if there is any psychological reason that she has started to bite her nails. (started a new school, moved, parent/relative left....) If you can't find any reason for it, it never hurts to ask her why she started to bite her nails,who knows she may have an answer for you. She also may be doing it without realizing it





    I had a cousin who used to bite her nails. Her parents tried a couple of different things including putting band-aids over the nails that she would chew on, using a product similar to Thum(I can't remember the actual product) and trimming/file her nails so that there was nothing to bite at.





    If she likes the berenstein bears books read her the one about sister bear biting her nails.If I remember correctly it ends with sister bear breaking the habit.





    Good luckHow do I get my 6 year old daughter to stop biting her finger nails? She only started a few months ago.?
    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!
    my dad used to put cologne in my hands so evrytime i went to bite my nails they would be so bitter tht i stopped bitting them now i have perfect nails


    p.s-washing it doesnt take the taste away fully so i had a hard time
    turn her over your knee and spank her on her bare bum.


    she will stop biting her fingernails in no time.


    honest.

    a.laureyandwilliam@yahoo.co.uk
    What changed to make her start? I have a thumbsucker (6) who will not stop, but he started in the womb and only does it to sleep. Remind her of the germs if she is a germaphobic kid, whatever she is afraid of connect it to nail biting, although honestly germs would do it for me!
    Try putting nail polish remover or something else REALLY nasty on them. That is how I stopped. :~)
    She doesn't realize she is doing it. It is a nervous habit. To laurey- Why on earth would u spank a child for biting her nails when she doesn't realize it? I hope that lady has no children. Adults have nervous habits too I think its funny how adults think they shouldn't get punished for the same things the kids are doing.





    Just remind her every time u see her biting her nails. I am doing that with my daughter who is still sucking her thumb. She will be like ';whyyyyyy cant i stop!?!?'; lolol





    It takes time to quit and it can be done if she wants to. I used to bite my nails when I was a kid too and i realized it made my nails look ugly so I really really tried finally stopped at abt 10 or 11. I also picked up the habit of chewing my lips ick... that went on thru out high school and I finally stopped. Bad habits die hard.

    Where do finger nails come from? And why is part of it pink and the other white?

    Fingernails are tightly packed keratinized stratum corneum squamous epithelial cells---basically, a hardened extension of your skin. the part that is pink is still attached to your nail bed, and the white part is dead and unattached.Where do finger nails come from?

    When one starts biting/or even eating ur nails, I can't concentrate on my studies or even my work.How can one stop biting finger nails after being in the habit for so long;it takes away ur concentration?
    There are a lot of different methods, but the only one that works for me is to keep a nail clipper and file handy.





    I can go weeks without nailbiting, but if I get the tiniest chip on one nail, I have to bite it until it's even... and once I'm in the habit, I got after all my other nails, too. Yes, I know it's digusting and not that good for my teeth, either.





    But if I trim or file the chipped nail before I chew it, I can usually prevent the biting. Maybe that will work for you, too.How can one stop biting finger nails after being in the habit for so long;it takes away ur concentration?
    wear oven mitts, ull stop as soon as you can cuz they look real embarrassing
    You can try putting tips, preferably crystal, as it is very hard to bite through....I know, because I have the same problem, I did real well for about 2 years, every time I take them off now, I start biting again....I hate this habit but I can't control myself, nervous tic I guess...Good Luck to you though, hope it works for you.

    wow sounds like ur in a lil trouble,i was a nail biter for many years but i found the easiest solution is to get this nail polish which you put on your nails and it gives it a horrible taste whenever you go to the bite them or you could just use nail polish!

    Prenatal vitamins. They make your nails really thick tooHeyy, does anyone havee any good tips on growing finger nails?
    Well, I've learned that when you bite your nails, your body is trying to get vitamin's from your nails, so you can just get vitamin's from the store and take two a day. Or...you can just paint your nails a really pretty color and it'll make you wanna not bite then and not ruin you nail polish.

  • Can you help me heal my veeery damaged finger nails??

    I have have had acrylic nail on and off for like 10 years. For anyone who's been there I don't need to tell you what it's done to my nails. They are very weak and peel and crack easily. I want to start to heal my nails and get them to grow healthy now. What products could I use or are there any good tips to make them grow?? Oh and cost is a bit of an issue so nothing too pricey please.Can you help me heal my veeery damaged finger nails??
    I am assuming that you used to go to a chop shop to have your nails done. But, I could be wrong. I say that because if people would spend the extra money and went somewhere that has good,experienced, and highly skilled techs, their nails would not be in awful condition when they were removed. But, too late for that now. I just wish people would wake up and smell the coffee.


    Anyway,you can use things like cuticle oil on your nails 2-3 times a day - every day. This will help to moisturize your nails and make them healthier. It will take some time, but you will start to see the results within just a few weeks. Also, make sure that you use a moisturizing hand lotion after every time you wash your hands, or get them wet. Also, use cotton lined rubber gloves when your hands will be exposed to water, and/or household hemicals for a prolonged period such as when cleaning or doing dishes. Water is one of natures most damaging chemicals, and it will ruin your nails after repeated, prolonged exposure to either water itself, or household chemicals. Even nail polish remover is not good when overused, Limit its use to once a week, or less. Nail polish will also damage your nails with overuse. Also, these polishes which supposedly contain things like vitamins, and other things that the company claims will help your nails to grow? Well, they don't work either. If the nails is thin and brittle, you cannot put something on top of it and expect it to get stronger. It just doesn't work that way. The key is to take care of the new nail which is growing out, and help that achieve its maximum health, and that is what will give you strong and healthy looking nails.


    Nail strengtheners will work OK, but only for a short time. Avoid overuse of them. Most contain formaldehyde which will dry out your nails over time. Don't listen t people who may suggest taking, or eating gelatin. That will not work to strengthen your nails, nor does it make them grow. It is a myth. But many people still think its true. You can use Biotin as a natural supplement. This is a nutrient which has been shown in many studies to increase the thickness of nails by an average of 20% over the course of about 4-6 months. Pre-natal vitamins are also said to work well, but I have never used them so I cannot vouch for their effectiveness. If you don't have cuticle oil, then regular vegetable oil works just as well. Vitamin E often helps as well.


    No matter what, your nails are going to take a while to get back to normal. It will not happen overnight, and there is no magic cure for this.


    If you ever get your nails done again, go to a good salon with great techs. Its well worth the extra cost.Can you help me heal my veeery damaged finger nails??
    they will grown on there own and once they grow out they will be healthy again
    buff your nails. (no fake nails missy!) It will keep them a little stronger until they grow back healthy.

    Cleaning stained skin under finger nails?

    I tried scraping under the nails but have noticed that the underneath of the nail and skin are actually stained and it's not just loose grime that can be cleaned out.Cleaning stained skin under finger nails?
    When I used to work in a fruit %26amp; veg shop my nails got stained from the veg %26amp; I used bleach to clean them, it worked fine with no adverse reactions for me. Obviously make sure you are careful not to get any in your eyes, on your clothes or on anything that belongs to anyone else - that does not go down well!





    Soak for a few mins then wash well in hot soapy water, then all you have to worry about is the smell of the bleach.Cleaning stained skin under finger nails?
    Here is what I have always done. Put on your dolly domestic hat and wash a sink of dirty dishes. When they are done, your hands are clean, and you have brownie points for getting the dishes done.
    try dissolving a denture tablet in a bowlful of warm water and soak your hands for 15minutes in it. repeat if neccesary
    Try soaking them in lemon juice, that's supposed to help.

    Do you think its weird for a 10 year old boy to pant his finger nails black?

    My ten year old boy thinks he is goin goth do u think its weird for a 10 year old boy to paint his finger nails black?Do you think its weird for a 10 year old boy to pant his finger nails black?
    if he is only ten then it is a little too early .. or he could be just wanting to fit in .. you know it is the craz these days ..Do you think its weird for a 10 year old boy to pant his finger nails black?
    Smack em with a hammer, it's cheaper and more permanent. All good Goths are supposed to love self inflicted pain (they don't notice the pain they give the rest of us).
    No not at all....my husband has been wearing black polish since he was like 8 because he hit that goth stage and never left it so its probably just a goth stage hes going through
    He may be gay. Any boy who wants to put on make up or nail polish could very well be gay, and it is a type of style these days, but NOT for a 10 year old. Wait until he at least gets into high school.
    its weird, i dont even consider it goth
    First of all, u spelled ';paint'; wrong in your initial question. secondly i think that if his parents approve and he doesn't get all depressed, its fine. its a little weird, but, there isn't a problem w/it.( unless he starts to get obsessed w/the whole goth thing, then it is definitely a problem. and no witchcraft either. that's also wrong)
    Don't let your boy paint his nails. Period. End of answer.
    panting or painting your nails black for anyone IS weird unless it is Halloween!
    No it's not weird, it's a form of self-expression. His fingernails will grow out, the polish will come off. It's nothing permanent. Just like hair dye. We are all guilty of expressing ourselves one way or another with the way we look. Have you ever dyed your hair? Polished your nails? Just make limits. Don't let him do anything permanent until he is 18 then he is free to pierce, and tatoo anything he wants (He'll have plenty of time to think about the permanency of it) As long as he is not hurting himself, or others, what is the harm? We all need a little freedom of expression as long as it is not harmful to others.
    I think it's very weird, but people express themselves in different ways.
    Kinda, but then Halloween will be here before you know it. Next he'll be after piercings and a tattoo, so you will have to draw the line somewhere.
    he is 10? going goth??? yes weird.........
    NOT REALLY MY TEEN AGE SONS DID SOME WEIRD THINGS GROWING UP!! MY MIDDLE SON REFUSED TO CUT HIS HAIR AND ONLY WORE SANDALS TO CLASS. MY OLDEST SON WAS INTO SLANG AND YOU SWORE HE WAS IGNORANT BUT HAD A 3.94 AVERAGE AND GOT ENGLISH


    HONORS!!


    WE ALL GO THROUGH PHASES. HE WILL BE OKAY THESE DAYS THEY CALL IT GOTHIC IN MY DAY THEY CALLED IT


    GHASTLY!!


    BUT REMEMBER TO EXPRESS YOUR OWN OPINION ON HOW HE APPEARS FOR CHURCH AND FAMILY GATHERINGS THIS IS PROBABLY JUST A PHASE WE ALL HAD THESE!!
    My son did and has done the same several times since he was about 10 (he's 18 now); I let it pass but asked him who did it, why, how does he think it looks,etc. gave me an engraved invitation to ask meaningful/pertinent questions and have fun with it! Who cares, really, what color your nails are; it happened about 4-7 times in 8 years and it was fine; now, if he starts dressing up like Dracula and thinks he's a ';super-horror-monster';, that's a different story!
    Yes but I'm old. I guess it's better than those baggy pants that hang down really low.
    No, it's just like any other fashionable thing he would want to do.


    If he thought he was a jock he would wear his hat a certain way or a sports jersey. He's a kid experimenting with his identity.
    ETHER THAT OR GAY





    NO DAYS I DON'T THINK ANY THING IS WEIRD LIKE I WENT TO SIX FLAG ABOUT 8 YRS AGO AND THERE WAS GUY IN DRESSES AND SKIRTS AND IF HE IS GOING GOTH THEN YOU NEED TO PRAY TO GOD
    Sucks to be your kid, he's gonna get his *** kicked in school now.

    Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?

    have you realised that our finger nails grow much faster than our toe nails? or is it just me?





    does anyone know why this is?Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    Nails need vitamin d (from the sun) to grow, and fingernails are more likely to be exposed to sunlight for longer I'm guessing.Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    Blood circulation.
    mine grow about the same really
    Wrong...they grow at the same speed.
    because of the sun

    What do white spots on my finger nails mean?

    That is a sign that you are lacking something in your diet. Usually it is calcium, but could be something else. Try to eat better foods, drink milk instead of soda and you should cease to get them. They don't go away once they are there, they have to grow off your nail.What do white spots on my finger nails mean?
    i've always heard that you get a white spot on your nail every time you tell a lie....yikes!


    of course, i never had spots!!!


    and i don't actually believe everything my nana told me!!What do white spots on my finger nails mean?
    It is from pressure being placed on the finger nail; perhaps you hit it on something? It's not dangerous or anything.
    that is were you have hit it on somthing and it marks it slightly
    It's when you lie they appear.
    i have heard the white spots mean that the calcium in your blood in low.
    i am not sure what it really really means, but i heard that it's due to a minor trauma. i heard if you get hit under the nails, when it grows it, that's when that white spot/line shows after it grows out under. no need to worry though, everybody has it once at least
    Usually the white spots are due to minor trauma. They are nothing to worry about and will grow out in time.
    It could be a lot of things. What it is, is the formation of the keratin plate of the nail has been interfered with in some way. Sometimes it is physical damage, sometimes nutrient deficiency and in rare cases internal problems. But you'd know if you were that sick
    it means you were adopted.
    THAT SIGNIFY YOU HAVE CHANCE TO GO ON A JOURNEY.

    A female kangaroo is called a doe, or a flyer.





    Nails grow from a ';growth plate'; located at the base of the nail. It's the half-moon shaped area at the base of the nail near where the skin connects. Nails are fomed by special cells called epithelium. Epithelial cells grow from the growth plate and as they mature, they are pushed outward. During growth they die and the inside of the cells become filled with a hard protein called ';Keratin';. It is the keratin that makes our nails hard and tough.What is a female kangaroo called and what are finger nails made out of.?

    What is the best tool to cut baby's finger nails?

    The little baby scissors are the safest. As someone else said, try to cut the baby's nails when they are sleeping, it is MUCH easier. A baby's nails are soo tiny, even with the special clippers made for a baby (Gerber makes one, and Safety 1st makes another), you can accidentally pinch or even snip their skin unless you are really, really careful. I stuck with the scissors until my babies were a little older.What is the best tool to cut baby's finger nails?
    Baby nail clippers. Yes, they do make them.What is the best tool to cut baby's finger nails?
    i always perfered the baby sisscors but i could never do it when she was sleeping she'd always wake up as soon as i started. i've found singing 'old macdonald' while i cut keeps her quite still and totally distracted, its really funny but works she's 7 months old
    Baby nail clippers have worked well for me.
    There is a special rounded tipped scissor that is used to cut a baby's nails.





    You can get it at a drug store or baby's r us.





    It is easiest to cut a baby's nails while they are sleeping.
    The best time to do this is while he's sleeping. The easiest way to trim the nails may be to just peel the ends off with your fingers. Your baby's nails are so soft that they'll easily rip right along the tops of his fingers. And don't worry 鈥?you won't rip the whole nail off this way. You can also file them down with an emery board, if you have the patience and can keep your baby still long enough. Otherwise, you can use a pair of baby scissors or clippers made especially for this purpose. Leave a set in the car so you can do the job while your baby's asleep in his car seat.





    If you decide to trim your baby's nails with clippers while he's awake, get someone to help you hold him and keep him from wiggling too much while you clip. Or get someone to distract him so that he'll let you hold his hand still for the clipping. Make sure you have enough light to see what you're doing. Press the finger pad away from the nail to avoid nicking the skin, and keep a firm hold on your child's hand as you clip.
    Get the baby nail clippers with the bulb-type handle on the end, I found those were much easier to work with. Baby's nails are paper thin and hard to cut, especially when the baby is awake and moving so when my son was very young, I bit them off as well. Weird, but true, it works.
    you can use simple pointy scirssors. be sure to sterilize them first.
    Bite 'em off! (That's what works best for me...)

    Can you clip a kitten toe nails and polish them with finger nails polish?

    Do not paint the cats claws! She would probably injest the polish because cats use their paws to clean themselves, and often use their teeth to clean out their claws. You don't want to torture the poor cat with the strong smell of the polish anyway. She will resent you for it.





    Use cat claw trimmers and only take off a tiny bit at the end of the nail. Never use trimmers that are made for humans or dogs, because you are more likely to hurt her that way. Do it once a week. Here's a website that shows you how:Can you clip a kitten toe nails and polish them with finger nails polish?
    NO! Cats lick their paws and nail polish contains TOXINS! Kittens and cats are not ';dolls'; or ';toys'; - DO NOT put nail polish on your kitten's toe nails!





    Cats toenails can be clipped - using a clipper especially made for this purpose, but you must be careful that you do not cut them too short - you can hurt them and their is a vein that will cause bleeding if you cut the toenail too short.





    If you are a child, it would be best to have an adult clip the kitten's toenails until they can teach you how to do it properly.Can you clip a kitten toe nails and polish them with finger nails polish?
    You can clip them if you're careful to clip only the tip. Use a clipper for pet nails, not a human nail clipper.





    I would not do the nail polish, even the kind recommended for dogs. Unlike doggie nails, cats' claws retract. So even if you could get the kitten to hold still for it, when you let go I imagine that claw is going right back into the paw, which sounds like it's just going to create a mess and ruin her pawdicure.





    Although, saying ';pawdicure'; is fun. :)
    Be sure to get the pet-friendly non-toxic colors from a professional groomer, and if you are going to do this yourself, wrap kitty in a towel, expose one paw at a time and retract the nails, allowing adequate drying time between nails.


    Do not use hair dryer, air dry only. It is rather a taxing process which is why having a groomer do this is not only safer, is worth the price in eliminating mutual strain for you and kitten(s).
    oh yeah totally! I used to work @ a grooming shop and the groomers had nail polish for the pets. I think its super cute. The only thing with cats is their claws retract so it'd be difficult to see the paint. Another option: they have these things called Soft Paws. They are these little plastic caps that glue on the nails. They come in different colors so it looks like the nails are painted. They don't hurt and the nail continues to grow under it, when they get long, the caps fall off and you replace them as needed. If you want to paint the nails, check a pet store for a brand made for pets.
    yes you can trim the kittys nails..and polish them..opi even makes a brand just for animals called ';pawlish'; it is super fast drying and NON TOXIC and it is a one coat coverage.





    good luck and have fun....ps..the more you get her doing it now the better and more used to it she will become.
    If you clip the nails too short you will hit the quick.. and they will bleed


    So only take off the very tip of the nail


    As far as polishing them I wouldn't ... first of all because cats hate that smell (polish) and if they licked it it might make them sick!
    This is a cat not a doll, not a human - only do that if they specifically ask for it. You are smarter than the Paris Hilton's of this planet.
    Yes you can clip them and paint them with pet friendly polish used for dogs. Good luck holding a kitten down while it's being done!
    i suppose you could, but he will kill you in your sleep.





    as soon as he smells that nail polish, you will be peeling him off your face.
    you can try! im sure if the kitten is laid back it wont be a problem. gOOd luck!
    I'm sure you could but don't cut the nail to short or it could bleed.
    You could try but I don't think you will get far.
    I suppose you could...


    BUT, that's demented...why would you want to do that?
    nail polish is TOXIC !!!

    How do you get rid of ridges in your finger nails?

    You can buy ';ridge filler'; at any beauty supply store, but ridges on your nails are usually a sign of a dietary deficiency. Ask your doctor, or visit:


    www.webmd.com for starters.How do you get rid of ridges in your finger nails?
    Ridges in the nail can also be caused by trauma to the nail bed. If you closed your finger in the door etc., you may have damaged the matrix of the nail (from where the nail grows). In this case you might not ever get rid of the ridge.

    No, it doesn't mean you are ';Goth.'; The Gothic influence has permeated the make up market.





    My own daughter uses a lot of Gothic, but she is not Gothic.





    I think it a bit much, but she likes it.





    Peace.
    It's just another stereotype. I'm not emo, goth or punk at all. I wear it jsut because I like the way it looks and not for any other reason, though it's sometimes fun to see how some people react to a guy with black nails.
    No. It means that you decided to wear black nail polish. I still wear black nail polish (and I'm not goth.) and now it's the ';new trend'; for the french manicure. It's the black nail polish with the white line. So wear the nail polish that YOU like. Have fun with it!
    y do ppl label ppl i mean lyk if u wnt 2 den dats fyn bt u paint ur nails woteva colour u wnt gske sum ppl r annoyin
    Not at all. Some preps think that black nail polish is in style, so they paint their nails black. I hate that. Some people are just messed up because they can't tell the difference between emo, goth, or punk.
    no it doens't mean you're a goth!


    but only wear it on your toes and take it off as soon as it chips (otherwise it looks tacky)
    Nooo! No no no Blah. NO.
    IT'S JUST A COLOR! When will you people understand and stop asking this question? It doesn't make you Goth or anything else, just like pink nails doesn't make you a prep and wearing black clothes doesn't make you emo. GET OVER THE STEREOTYPES. Most of the REAL goths I know don't even have black nails.





    And, sorry, but punks don't call themselves punk. Real punks couldn't care less what those idiots are saying.
    no, your disposition makes you ';gothic';





    besides a little bit of trashy is sexy. love a girl with chipped black wet and wild polish on
    no it doesnt mean your goth......black nails look good on short nails and on long. having black nails doesnt mean your goth unless you wear like all black......but only goth people wear black with black when you shouldn't
    Not in my eyes!





    Wear what you want, girl.





    That reminds me, I must paint mine today!
    nope, you see all these tv presenters with black nail varnish. its the in colour
    Painting your nails black doesn't make you a goth... loads of people do so and if they say that then they are stupid and stereotypical, and definatly not nice people. But I wouldn't recommend punching them. =]
    NO!


    im a total prep and I wear black nail polish


    i think its cute


    but my dad makes fun of me


    D:
    No.


    It is only a color.


    And another stereotype that people try to say stuff about, like if you have pink nails your prep, pshhh, It doesn't matter.


    I have seen plenty of people who would not be considered goth but have black nails, and they look amazing.


    Stick with painting your nails black if you want, don't listen to what people say its your style!





    **I get the same thing people don't know the difference between emo and scene, There is really nothing you can do about it they are always going to have a set stereo type in there head, you just sort of have to deal with it, or really set them down and explain the difference.

    Why the hell would you have poo on your nails? Use plenty of hot water, soap and a nail brush.
    The answer is soap. Or trimming your fingernails. The question, however, is how is getting there in the first place?
    Wash and then to avoid in the future use a stunningly simple invention called toilet paper.
    keep washing your hands with soap :) or.. might as well pour some perfume onto your hands and rub in onto your hands evenly?
    wash your hands with soap an sugar together. the sugar acts as an abraisive and will clean them really well.

    Im a very clean person, and i hate dirty finger nails.. but throughout the day they always seem to get something in them.. How can i keep them clean/white all the time?Whats a good way to keep your finger nails clean/white?
    Wash your hands using a nail brush throughout the day. A white fingernail pencil used under the tips of the nails can help them look their best as well.Whats a good way to keep your finger nails clean/white?
    I usually have to scrape them out during the day, but the best way to keep them white is to get denture cleaning tablets. They're really cheap and work well. Just put one in a small bowl of water, let it fizz up, and soak your nails in the water for a few minutes. It'll whiten your nails without making them weak.
    You could always paint them to hide the fact that there is dirt accumulating underneath your nails.


    Or bring a nail brush with you where ever you go to brush the dirt out. Make sure if you're going to wash your hands often to moisturize your hands afterwards! I hope this helps and good luck :)
    well everything you do involves your hands and fingers so its almost impossible to keep them clean all day....you could get them done with a french tip that will stay white..or someone mentioned above to use a white pencil under your nails...or just cary around something to clean them out during the day...hope this helps
    Everytime I take a shower all the dirt gets out and my fingernails get a little bit longer. Go to the nail salon every couple/few weeks and get them done.





    Or get a needle or a nail kit and scrape out all that dirt from under the nails.
    Just keep them clean throughout the day the best you can. Personally I like longer nails on women because I like the way they feel, but I'm always thinking that way....

    paint them in a dark shade

    i dont know why us girls that paint our nail i think i do it is cuz my bf wants to hold a hand and i dont want it to look ugly
    Girls/women have a natural instinct to pamper themselves %26amp; be beautified that inludes facials, medi's %26amp; pedi's, getting their hair done dressing cute. That's what we do LOLOL
    Personally I see no point to it; who's going to notice your fingernails, or toenails ?
    My toes are bleh so painting them makes them look better as I wear sandals 24/7. As for my fingernails, i dunno, I just want them painted :p
    Its completes my look. I love neon nailpolish. If you dont like it, refer to my icon.
    i paint them becuz my toe nails are ugly. and paint my finger nails so i dont chew them off.
    it makes your hands look more feminine
    Maybe they have ugly finger nails lol
    i just think it looks nicer than not having them painted. and it just adds a little poppp. :)
    cuz u need to add that KA ZAMM and pizazz. its 2 boring and plain looking if u dont have some pop on ur hand!

    Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?

    I don't know where I first heard this, but from personal experience I know it's true.Why do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    because your hands are more active then your toes =this stimulates the growth of the nailsWhy do finger nails grow faster than toe nails?
    it might just be you personally, like everyone's nails are different, because it's the opposite for me.
    I think they probably grow at about the same rate for any one person. It may seem that fingernails grow faster because on average fingernails are smaller and thinner than toe nails so get longer faster even though the volume of nail is the same.
    I agree with the above I think its the stimulation and something about them getting more of the protein. Like me my hand nails are long and they grow grow grow which I love lol ...hate when they break but my toe nails they grow ...I cut them....a month or so later they need cutting again they only grow like this much.......lol naw my hand nail is like this long ....................... (the pinky anyways) lol Everyone always thinks my nails are fake lol.

    What does orange finger nails mean?

    I have been wearing a lot of pink and red nail polish, could that discolour my nails? Could it be anything to do with being anemic too because I've been anemic for about 2 years, but I've only recently noticed this?What does orange finger nails mean?
    your nails can be discolored because of one of 2 things ...





    some of the pigment from the nail polish may be absorbed by the nail from constant wear and chemicals ...





    or





    the constant chemicals of you are painting and removing the paint frequently could be changing the color checmically ...





    try going a week or 2 without any polish and see if they clear up any ...What does orange finger nails mean?

    How often should u clip your finger nails?

    Once ever two weeksHow often should u clip your finger nails?
    once they start to grow back, and you dont like how they look, or when other people start to call them claws. Or whenever anything nasty gets in them you cant get out. I do every two weeks, so they dont get to long and a bother.How often should u clip your finger nails?
    I clip them when they start to go past my finger, my nails should be horizontal, or less to the tip of my finger, or else they hurt my fingers :(
    Whenever they grow to a length you don't like. I probably cut mine once or twice a week, because I hate when they're not short.
    ( if you where fingernail polish) then if its white and if its grown farther then the polish line
    Qwark clips them everyday so they can fit his superhero gloves.
    whenever they look like they should be clipped, or whenever they're bothering you
    i grow mine out and manicure them and paint them all cute...every once in a while i file them but the ones on my toes i cut as soon as i see white.
    Whenever they become annoying, iritating, or hazardous.
    I like my nails really short,So I clip then more then I should .Like every other day.
    whenever i can scratch someones eyes out with them :D


    %26gt;.%26gt; nails are for sissies %26gt;:]
    i always go get my nails done and get acrylic nails so they clip them for me like every 2 weeks
    every week in your hand and every two weeks in your feet.
    Every other week.
    Before they start curling over.
    I do mines every week because they grow so fast.
    about once every 1-3 months
    i like my nails really short so like whenever i notice they're a little long
    every 3 days
    until you have no fingernails
    when my nails start breaking i have very long nails
    when they are long enough to slightly be scratchy cut them
    never
    lets hope you do it every week. or you could bite them. yuck
    when they get long.. hahah.


    i cut mine once a week, they grow fast
    every day wut kind of question is that u dirty pig
    when it starts to hurt when you pick your nose
    When they get too long?
    Once a week, maybe?
    when they get long :P
    Wow you're stupid

    What causes those white spots on finger nails?

    White spots on the fingernails is not an indication of a vitamin or mineral deficiency, like many believe. A calcium or zinc deficiency causing these white spots is a common old wive's tale. These spots, called leukonychia, are normally a result of nail injury.





    Accompanied a sibling to the doctor when this same question was asked.What causes those white spots on finger nails?
    lack of calciumWhat causes those white spots on finger nails?
    It something to do with calcium I think?
    It is calcium deficiency. Speak to your doctor about how much dairy you eat. You can get calcium tablets if you have a reasonable amount a day.
    Lack of calcium.
    I heard this was an indication of a lack of calcium in the body.
    Do u mean the white spots at the start of the nail?





    If so, Im 100% sure its the new nail growing.
    nothing to much to worry about just a calcium deposit they grow out anyway
    my gran used to say it was lack of calcium.... dont know whether it is true or she just wanted me to drink my milk
    I was always told it was calcium deficiency.
    Lack of zinc. Depending on how quickly your nails grow, at the time that spot was formed, you were probably low in zinc. A zinc supplement might be called for.
    well all the other answers says it is calcium. i was taught that the white spots were bruises when you damaged the nail like slamming it in a door or banging it on a hard surface.
    scarcity of Vitamin A in body. Drink lot of Milk and take fruits.
    the white spots under your nails are trapped air.
    Calcium deficiency apparently. Ive just looked and for the first time i can ever remember i dont even have one. Ive quit drinking milk about 6 months ago....so errr dunno.
    i've read somewhere its anxiety and nervous tension, my cousin had loads of it throughout her childhood, she was abandoned by her mum
    i agree with playgirl and george, i asked my doc as well and was told it was slight damage and bruising to the nail.
    If it's just one spot it's probably from banging it. If it's lots of white spots it indicates calcium and zinc deficiency. Eat some nuts and seeds!
    It could be calcium defficieny if its on just about every fingernail, if its just on one fingernail its more than likely the nail has just been bumped or trapped by accident.
    Not enough calcium. Drink more milk.
    unfortanatly you are all wrong it has nothing to do with a calcium def its called nail bruises i went to the docs once and asked the same question and he said they were nail bruises calcium or lack of does not cause these marks!

    Ladies, do you coordinate your finger nails and toe nails?

    One of my friends just asked a nail varnish question which got me wondering... Do you usually paint your toe nails the same colour as your finger nails or should they be different or what are the 'rules'? I don't have a fetish or anything. Just inquisitive!Ladies, do you coordinate your finger nails and toe nails?
    Ummm....Personally, no. But alot of girls do, especially if they are on the beach or wearing sandals - they like it to match...!





    :)Ladies, do you coordinate your finger nails and toe nails?
    to me it just depends. if its a solid color then yes they usually match. but if i have french tips on one then the other can be a different color (lol does that make sense?) right now my toes are french tipped and my fingernails are a sparkly red.


    anyways....





    HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!


    %26lt;3
    Most girls like them to match, such as myself, but what always happens is my fingernails get chipped before my toenails do and therefore i end up changing the polish on my hands... basically they start off matching but end up being different.
    personally for me they have to match


    i have white tip acrylics on my fingers


    so to make it match i have airbrush white tips on my toes


    and when i get nail art on my fingers the toes have to match :]
    if you have an outing that u need to expose the 2, u might need to paint them the same colour. but or someone like me that never exposes my toe nail,, they are the same colour for months while i change my finger nail polish often
    As funny as it is, I usually hate painting my fingernails. It just seems in the way to me. However, I love to paint my toes. So, obviously they don't match. Lol.
    I don't. i usually pain my fingernails lighter (sheer colorless/ light peach/ baby pink). for my toenails, i use red to deep red.


    it's just me. =)
    I never really though about it before. So no they never matched. But now it made me think they should be the same color!
    i usually have a french manicure for both
    umm.. no. being fun and doing a mismatch. Colour is the best.. There are no rules.. be urself and do wat u want wiv ur nails. x
    generally yes they have to match
    ahh kinda i guess.lol.
    only if both are on show, but otherwise no!
    i usually have them done to match
    its a girl thing WE HAVE TO MATCH oh i love being a girl LOL
    yea lol a lot :)
    i have ocd with that.. they always have to match
    i dnt like coloured toe nails so no

    How can i prevent dirt from entering my finger nails?

    I cut them short occasionally, but it seems dirt just finds their way in, how can i prevent that??How can i prevent dirt from entering my finger nails?
    you cant, its unavoidable. All you can do is try to limit it. Keeping your nails short is one of the best ways to limit it from happening.How can i prevent dirt from entering my finger nails?
    Wash your hands and body more often; avoid scratching yourself; use a nail filer to clean your nails and wash them again...
    you could buy a big bubble and live inside of it.you know they make nail files that you use to clean your nails. i don't know if any one ever told you but a little dirt never hurt any one.
    you cant
    You can't, unless you spend the rest of your life in a 'clean room' doing absolutely nothing and having a servant or somebody bring you everything you need. My advice? Just scrub your fingernails with a fingernail brush at the ends (so some of the bristles go underneath your nail) whenever you want to clean them
    I have heard that if you rake your fingernails against a bar of soap and let the soap get between your fingernails this will prevent dirt or oil from getting there. This is if you will be working in the yard on on your car. When you're done just wash the soap away.
    don't touch anything, ever
    besides the gloves answer...to make them easier to clean apply clear polish under them...the dirt will then just slide out..
    Watch what you touch. Clean them often and keep them short all the time, long nails means more dirt.
    Stop digging in the dirt.
    Just don't do dirty things. It's not that complicated.
    To take showers or baths everyday.
    Wash your hands more often. My fingernails get dirty no matter what kind of work I do. They get clean again when I shower or give my hands a good wash.
    wear gloves

  • Fiberous growth under the finger nails ? This is very tender and will bleed if cut.?

    Is this caused by a respitory problem -COPD- or because of heart conditions such as CHF ? Was told once and lost the print out. Growth is not symetrical or following shape of nail, is irregular-uneven, making it difficult to cut this man`s nails in regular way or to file the rough edges away.


    What is the cause ?.


    Can any thing be done to stop the growth ?Fiberous growth under the finger nails ? This is very tender and will bleed if cut.?
    It sounds like a wart growing under a fingernail. I have had this myself when I was a kid...I used to bite my nails alot as a kid and that heped the wart virus find an avenue for infection. It ultimately went away on it's own after about 3 years.

    Are black finger nails and hot pink toe nails a weird combination?

    Me, not so much. I get too bugged when dark polish starts to chip, then I start picking at it, but I don't mind at all if other people wear it. Big fan of hot pink though!Are black finger nails and hot pink toe nails a weird combination?
    black and hot pink is like my favorite color combination! i bet it looks awesome!





    you should try one fingernail black the next hot pink and so on.





    that would be super cool!
    i think its okay.
    no sounds good to me!
    i guess its fine, cuz its not like anyones gonna see ur toes in winter lol
    I can see the 'hot pink'; toe-nails, but the black fingernails, YUCK!





    BUT DON'T FRET, CHILD, YOU WILL GROW UP AND GAIN TASTE!
    Ya, kinda. Just stick with black
    nooo





    noone cares
    It's not really cool as you think they were. It's for low fashion. It's really nice experimenting but not all of your experiments are good at all. Black and hot pink are good on other stuffs like bags, clothers etc.. but not on your nails..it's so not hot..try being simple yet you look glamorous..try light pink on your nails..
    nooo thats not weird at all...but i think it would look even cooler if you did black and hot pink on evey other finger and your toes thatd be awsomeee!! =)
    Yes. I'd skip the black nail polish all together.

    How many times per week should I trim my finger nails?

    If you are not letting them grow out you should trim them one to two times a week depending on how fast they grow. Usually once is enough.How many times per week should I trim my finger nails?
    Check your fingers with the nails faced away from you. If you see a part of your nail even for a tiny bit it's time to trim them.How many times per week should I trim my finger nails?
    Once a week. It depends on how fast they grow and how long you'd like them to be.
    it depends on how fast they grow back but i'd say about 1-2 times a week

    What is the best way to stop biteing your finger nails?

    i had the same problem when i found that putting nail polish remover on them gives them the worst taste in the world and you can't help but not chew them for fear of getting a terrible taste in your mouth.





    if you're dieing, put a batting glove on! You can't chew whats not there!What is the best way to stop biteing your finger nails?
    if you really wanna know, nail biting shows that you are weak.





    but anyways...when ever you start biting your nails, think of all the gross germs on there an how they are now in your mouth. eww!What is the best way to stop biteing your finger nails?
    I put gloves on my hands when I sleep. You can also chew gum or put some bitter tasting nail polish on your fingers. Or just busy your hands wherever you are; take up knitting :D
    Dip them in finger nail polish as often as u can. (Get the non acetone because there a chance the acetone can cause cancer.) and tell ur friends family etc. to hit your hand hard every time u do. Also If its a nervous habit try twiddling ur thumbs or pressing them hard together.
    take your finger out of your mouth.
    I have the same problem!
    either paint your nails, or put nail polish remover on them. that always helped me cause the tastes are awful.
    Chew gum 24/7... well atleast the whole time your awake and not eating... lol! It works wonders!
    I would keep them short and either wear varnish or you can purchase varnish for nail biters, which tastes disgusting. If you start having manicures it may encourage you to stop biting. You could also try chewing gum.
    hold a small ball, or stone or something so that you cant bite your nails because you are busy holding/playing with the ball





    or paint your nails with nail polish that doesnt taste good.





    you could also wear gloves so that you cant get to your nails.

    or think of how much nicer yr nails will look if you dont bite em
    get braces. i chewed up until i got braces on and now my braces are off and i never chew :0
    buy that special clear nail polish for people like you who bite their nails, usually you can buy them at most drug stores or beauty stores
    Constantly dip your fingers in hot sauce, sometimes I hear to use lemon juice but my friend says hot sauce works much better.








    hope i helped





    =D
    well i always paint my nails so i don't wanna bite them becuase i worked hard on them. also try like keeping something in ur hands at all times like a pencil or something to keep u distracted. also try getting fake tips for a while, it worked for me.
    there is a certian nail polish they sale at wal-mart or any drug store im not sure what its called but just ask for it and they will be able to show you where it is
    thers this nail polish that tastes funkyy when you bite into your nail.. go ask your pharmasist
    put tons of hand sanitizer on them that way if u try to bite them it'll taste aweful! worked for me

    How can you get your finger nails to grown better?

    Multiple vitamins, taken every day.How can you get your finger nails to grown better?
    OMG! i used to have ugly short bitten nails, but then i started using a Nail strengthner and my nails are Gorgeous now! I used the one by Sally Hansen, Its called Hard as Nails, And it comes in clear, or a sheer pink. (it only costs like 2 dollars at walmart) You can use this as your top and base coat when you do you nails. It really makes your nails increadibly strong. And a little trick that i do is take a tiny piece of garlic, and put it in the nail polish. You want to do this when you first start growing them out. Garlic makes your nail grow Suuuuuper fast, in unbelievable, Although it will stink in the bottle, once it has dried give it a few hours and the smell will be gone. Try it out,How can you get your finger nails to grown better?
    I haven't found a quick fix. May sound like a cliche but good diet and exercise helps. I notice when I eat right, exercise and take my vitamins my hair and nails look and grow better. When I eat poorly, they get brittle. I also supplement with gelatin tablets. I include them when I take my vitamins.
    Don't bite your nails... apply clear nail polish or nail harder and remember don't bite themmm... i use to bite my nails i stop. there so long now alot of people tell me i have pretty nails. and cut them if there uneven.
    You can take prenatal vitamins or biotin (vitamin). Both will help your hair and nails be healthier and grow faster and stronger.

    You mean next to the cuticles? If they're bad, lick them and apply a tiny drop of superglue - lick BEFORE you superglue not after! :-D





    Superglue was originally invented for use by soldiers on the battlefield and it is still used in hospitals.
    I get these from time to time and they are pretty painful. I have found that if I dab a bit of sudocrem on then wrap a bit of micropore tape round and leave over night, they are gone (ish) in the morning

    How did indians cut their finger nails in the old days?

    They probably didn't. The hard work (incredibly hard compared to the average US living style now) that they did would be enough to keep their nails worn down. Also, I can imagine that many kinds of rock can be used as a very nice file if it was needed. However, I doubt that they actually found much need to cut their nails.How did indians cut their finger nails in the old days?
    their teeth


    had others bite them


    they used stones to file them downHow did indians cut their finger nails in the old days?
    Bit them?
    some of them filed them down with stones, or at least that is what was told to me by my grandmother!
    People used knives. Even my grandfather did out of habit.
    Many tribes had different ways. Some would wait %26amp; let them break off, %26amp; other would use Goulsten arrow heads to cut them off. Then the white man came with clippers %26amp; beads %26amp; problems were solved.
    knives
    they most likely didnt and why do u care??
    bite them.
    OOOH ohhh pick me!! I got it! With Indian Finger Nail cutters!!! Oh am I good...no I really don't know...maybe they filed them with bark??? bone??

    What is wrong with someone who has blue finger nails?

    would it mean that one might have heart trouble or what could it relate tooWhat is wrong with someone who has blue finger nails?
    Bluish skin/nail beds are usually an indication of some form of hypoxia- a lack of oxygen in the body's circulation. This could be caused by several things, and not to sound off alarms, but heart trouble could be one of them. There are 2 main causes of hypoxia- lack of oxygen in the blood, or reduced circulation. If you feeldizzy or lightheaded, have trouble breathing, then that could be the case. Best bet is to go to a doctor and have it checked out.What is wrong with someone who has blue finger nails?
    1. Could be cold. ( ^ _ ^ )





    2. Tissues aren't being adequately profused with oxygen enriched blood. Such as poor circulation.





    3. Could have painted their nails blue. ( ^ _ ^ )
    anemia or other circulatory problem if tissue under nails is blue. If nails themselves are blue: fungus


    In any case, should be evaluated by a healthcare provider who can take H and P.
    It could mean many things--anemic, poor circualtion, eating disorder, cold, or some other disease or serious illness--go to a doctor.
    could mean malnurishment,


    anerexia, bulimia,



    That is a pretty scary question. You should see to it that this person gets to the hospital straightaway!

    What are the white spots under my finger nails?

    I get them sometimes. Don't worry, it's not under your fingernails so they'll grow out and you'll be fine. Lack of calcium causes them. I'm not going to suggest milk because I can't stand it but if it gets too bad, try taking the vitamins with calcium.What are the white spots under my finger nails?
    it could be a lack of vitamins, i think its specifically a lack of zink or something like that.What are the white spots under my finger nails?
    lack of calcium and vitimans
    Zinc deficiency
    they're just bruises.





    they're fine. =)
    The white spots are bruises. Don't fret. It's natural.
    more calcium


    i drink milk. (cause i love it)

    What is a good remedy for split finger nails?

  • How can Gordon Brown,who eats his finger-nails,give advice to the public on what to eat?

    Are we supposed to follow his example?How can Gordon Brown,who eats his finger-nails,give advice to the public on what to eat?
    He is not. He is just saying that we, as a society need to stop wasting food, and that includes supermarkets.How can Gordon Brown,who eats his finger-nails,give advice to the public on what to eat?
    I guess you're a Tory, well done. And Gord eat his fingernails when he's nervous. Alida Justice, the watching eye of politicians body language. Actually, I would prefer not to follow tht example, thank you very much. I'd rather eat the radish and tomatoes from my garden, mmh, delicious and definitely the ultimate way to stick two fingers up at Labour and their high cost of living (food, fuel...) I got a bike and I grow loads of fruit %26amp; veg. And it's been raining pretty much recently, so the garden is fab! And it tasts better from there than from a shop. Usually does anyway. Mmmh, just munching another radish.


    *MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH*
    The Prime Minister is also a gourmet of bogies too. Have you seen the clip on you tube with him finding one and munching on it?


    By eating these two delicacies he is truly showing noone need go hungry and that he wastes nothing
    Does that mean he's not a vegetarian?. Shame on you Gordon. Perhaps we should all send him some bitter aloes, that stops dogs chewing things and I think it works for nails as well. There again he's so sour would he even notice he had it on?.
    The worrying thing is - what has he got under those finger nails?

    Maybe there is a lot of sustenance in a finger nail, specially if he has just scratched his back side.
    What would you have him do, eat other people's fingernails?
    It was all a big cock-up. Gordon's advice was meant for John Prescott alone....
    Because before he went on a diet he was more than a great lover of food
    well if we follow his example we'll all end up on the Muppet show :)

    I have calcium spots on my finger nails?

    Does anyone know how to remove them and what causes them?I have calcium spots on my finger nails?
    The spots you notice are not caused by a calcium deficiency. They're called ';leukonychia'; and are very common. Most of the time the white spots simply are a sign of some past injury to the matrix (base) of your nails. By the time the white spot shows up (about six weeks after the injury) you've probably forgotten all about banging or knocking your fingers. Sometimes, the injury can stem from a manicure that put excessive pressure on the base of the nails. The spots also can be a sign of an allergic reaction to nail polish or nail hardeners and, sometimes, are a symptom of a mild infection.





    Whatever the cause, the spots are temporary and will grow out as your nails grow. However, it can take more than eight months for nails to grow out completely so the spots may be around for a while.





    Sometimes, a change in the appearance of your nails does indicate an underlying disease, but these changes would be more dramatic than just the occasional white spot. Nails that turn completely white, for example, can indicate liver disease, but by the time this happens, you probably would have other symptoms.





    Incidentally, in addition to the myth that white spots on the nails are a sign of calcium deficiency, you may also have heard that they indicate a zinc deficiency. That isn't true either. Neither is the well known but bizarre notion that the spots are due to eating too much Hellmann's mayonnaise (I'm not making this up).I have calcium spots on my finger nails?
    ahhh i have this ive had it since i was 5 its not going away
