How can I make my nails stronger using natural ingredients?

Gelatin is a good thing to use to strengthen your nailsHow can I make my nails stronger using natural ingredients?
1.soak your hands in a mixture of warm olive oil and a tablespoon of lemon juice(fresh).


2.soak for about 30 min.


3.put on cotton gloves and let the oil soak in overnight.


4.Wash hands of with lukewarm water in the morning!


5.do this consistently, and you will see the effect!How can I make my nails stronger using natural ingredients?
Only to the degree that your genetics allow. That is it is difficult to over come thin nails if you did not inherit the genes for thick nails. If your genes give you thick wavy hair you will not be able to make fine straight hair grow out of your scalp, see? But you can make the most of your nails by eating properly, drinking sufficient water and taking care of them. Most nail polishes that say they strengthen do so by drying the nails so they seem stronger. That works for some but if you notice them getting dry, peeling and cracking more, stop using that product. Most oils will add flexibility (and are great for cuticles), the olive oil treatment is great but I'd avoid the lemon juice, citrus is drying. Massage is great to increase circulation in the nail beds and can stimulate growth (it will take four months to notice the difference). Don't buff the surface if the nail is thin, buffing removes nail. Experiment to see if your nails do better with or without polish, try LCD and OPI. Use non acetone polish remover and don't change polish too often (more than every four days) if you can avoid it. Your nails, like hair, are affected by stress, B complex can help (if it is safe for you to take) and practice de-stressing. If you have naturally thin nails, make the best of it, keep them short and neat (not everyone needs claws), pick soft colors that don't show wear at the edges and keep cuticles neat (don't cut healthy cuticle).

Why do finger nails grow at a different rate than toe nails?

The growth of your nails depends on how often you are excercising your hands or legs during work.Like if you are writing a lot,your finger nails will grow faster.If you are excercising your legs a lot,the toe nails will grow faster than usual ..,but as a fact finger nails grow faster than toe nails do. :)Why do finger nails grow at a different rate than toe nails?
The nail beds could be healthier. They don't necessarily grow at a different rate. It depends on the health of the nail beds.Why do finger nails grow at a different rate than toe nails?
Because the nails are a different size than the toe nails so they grow at different speeds and days.

If you go to drug stores or just any beauty supply stores, you can find nail polishes to help nail growth. I saw some Sally Hansen brands the other day but there's a lot.
One, take gelatin tablets, two, get a nail strengthener or hardener and finally always use a base coat.
If you keep biting your nails, then they will stop very soon to grow back. Eat fish, boiled eggs, egg to make them grow faster.
Eat gelatin, take prenatal vitamins and use Revivanail.
Maternity vitamins....
Stay in the sun! My mom told me that your nails grow faster in tropical climates! Hope this helps!
i always out a little garlic on mine and keep it overnight..yea it kinda smells but they grow!
dink kool aid and other things that contain gelatin. That helps nails grow fast.

Can i get a french manicure at the salon without long finger nails?

i have had acrylic nails for about 5 years straight. so im trying to stop that. since my nails are so thin and breaking constantly can i still get the french manicure painted on? Some nails are longer than others and actually have length.Can i get a french manicure at the salon without long finger nails?
Yes, but the white tip of the manicure will be thin. They might file your nails so they are all the same length as the shortest one too.Can i get a french manicure at the salon without long finger nails?
yes you can :)
Sure! But hopefully there not MAJOR short. cause one time i cut mine real short before i went %26amp; it made it sorta hard for the lady to do.
yes
of course. just tell them you want them painted! not a full set!

How should i have my nails for prom?

My dress is dark pink, my shoes are gold with like silver diamant茅s going across and i have a gold clutch bag with a silver clasp, a silver hair clip and silver jewellery.





What shall i do with my toe and finger nails?


ThanksHow should i have my nails for prom?
Integrate some more of the pink color and color them the dark pink. On your toes, you could color them the dark pink and then put a gold design on them.How should i have my nails for prom?
Classic french manicure with white tips and an opalesant overlay. Spread a pink line across the nail seperating the pink and white line and then line across that pink line 3 little clear rhinestones for that added bling. You'll look beautiful and have lots of FUN!! BE safe!
I think just have a manicure and pedicure and have simple white tipped french manicure - as it is simple and not fussy - and if you want to jazz it up a bit - you can always get the beautician to add little diamond gems on the tips- always cute
French manicure is classic... but maybe you could put a twist on it and get your tips done pink, and have gold and silver flowers on a couple of your nails.
I think your outfit's already bright and colorful enough, so I would go with black. It's pretty, but it doesn't distract from the rest of your outfit. And the dark color will contrast nicely and really make your dress pop. :)
you should do this design on fingers and toes!

How can i help my nails grow naturally and get rid of the cuticles?

obey your body nail kit.


google that **** it's magic.How can i help my nails grow naturally and get rid of the cuticles?
VITAMIN E!!!! I cant tell you how crazy long your nails can get if you get this stuff. Get it in either a lotion form or the oil. Or, what you could do is buy the vitamin E pills themselves, and poke a hole in one of them, and squeeze the insides of the pill out and onto your cuticles, and gently message them into the cuticles, remembering to push the cuticles back as you do it as well. The pill gets inside and under the nail bed, and it energizes the nails to grow like crazy. give it a couple of days. I think you will be really impressed.





Also, I know that its not good to cute cuticles, cause you can get infected, but I cut mine all the time, and they are fine. Or if not, Sally Hansen has this cuticle stuff that should get rid of them. Its in a green tube. Look for it in the nail area in your store.





Good luck!

    How should i get my nails done for pride?

    Pride march this sunday!! im so excited!!





    Where all going shopping for outfits and such. its a really big deal (duh!)





    And i wanna get my nails done. (the fake ones) and its my first time getting them done. should i just get my tips done, or go totally overboard with rainbows? lolHow should i get my nails done for pride?
    Go overboard with rainbows! It's a holiday :)How should i get my nails done for pride?
    eh, I guess if you feel like it you can get just tips, but if you wanna make it overboard it would be funny to have rainbow nails. The stripes should go vertically though and it will probably take a while. Do one color at a time on each hand then after its done on all the nails go to the next color. It would save time that way.
    each nail a different color of the rainbow with a second layer of glitter on it.





    Nothing says ';pride'; like that.
    That is up to you end of the day its your who will have the nail polish on not us so think it through before you do it 8)
    go crazy with rainbows! :D

    Use pure acetone. Pour some in a glass bowl. Soak the nails for about 20 minutes. Then, without removing them from the acetone, start scraping with an orangewood stick. Scrape and soak until all the product is off.





    polish remover will not work.





    If your acrylics have a gel overlay then make sure you file the nail to break the seal before soaking.
    You could always just carefully peel them off but i wouldnt do that :) It could damage the surface of your nails real bad. Instead you can just soak them in warm water. They should come off painlessly and easily. Hope i helped ♥♥
    Soak them in Nail Polish Remover WITH acetone. (That is if they were professionally done) You need to soak them for a while, not like 5 minutes.. try like a half hour and they should melt/loosen up so you can get them off! Good Luck.
    soke them under hot water for 5 min and then peel them off or you can go to the nail salon and they will take them off for you.

    You can pull them off, but I wouldn't recommend it. The best thing to do is soak your nails in a nail polish remover for a few minutes. They will come off painlessly.

    I have tried an anti-fungal ointment and tea tree oil but neither one helped.After removing fake nails, I now have a permanent crack in one of my nails. How can I cure this?
    I've been told that what I have from the last time I had acrylic nails (maybe it's different than yours?) is internal damage and there's nothing that can be done to reverse it, but it WAS caused by the drills or the harsh removal of the acrylic. I have a smooth, white line running right up the center of my right thumb nail and when it grows out, it's actually thinner on the underneath side of the nail so it breaks or splits BADLY and very easily. Not good. I'm gonna watch this post and see if there's other suggestions or you describe your damage better for us. THANKS!After removing fake nails, I now have a permanent crack in one of my nails.

    This has happened to me. I bought vitamen E capsuls, broke them open and rubbed it on the area. It worked for me.
    When my finger nail cracks down the middle I eat more jello. It takes a while to grow back, but it works.
    You should only wear fake nails 3 days at a time. Leave them off for 2 days. Your nails need air to stay healthy. To make your nails stronger, eat gelitan, a.k.a. JELL-O. It takes time to repair or grow out the crack.
    Hopefully you can grow it out - which in that case, you can just clip it off, albeit it may ACTUALLY be permanent ..
    This may be an emotional issue due to the fact that nothing physical is helping. Each finger muscle stores different emotions, if you want to know, which finger is it???
    It's not really curable, you just have to let it grow out. nails do grow pretty quick, it will probably be completely grown out to the point where you can clip it off for your next manicure in about a month. I would not recommend getting new fake nails on it until after it has grown out becuase of the risk of fungal growth between the real and fake nails. Continue to apply the antifungal ointment in the meantime though and it should be good as new in a month.

  • Can i use no more nails to put up a tv wall mount?

    i have a tv wall mount for my 37 inch tv and was wondering if i could use no more nails to put the bracket on the wall?


    the last time i drilled the shelve fell of and dont want to drill again! lol


    so does any one know whats tha maximun weight no more nails would hold etc


    thanksCan i use no more nails to put up a tv wall mount?
    Sure, go right ahead.


    signed: Your Locat TV SalesmanCan i use no more nails to put up a tv wall mount?
    OMG only if you have insurance...... i wouldnt! what exactly are you nomore nailing it to? a wall with wallpaper on? the paper would just come off. paint? the paint would come off. bare bricks? it wont stick.





    we have drilled our 42'; tv mount in - you should find instructions on how to do it properly, and preferably onto a brick wall.





    good luck, and if you do no more nails it, make sure no one stands underneath it....
    It is very important to make the wall mounting permanent. If you chance using an adhesive of some sort, you will definitely have some expensive problems - - mainly the loss of your TV.





    If you are having problems with fasteners, check with your local hardware store. They will be able to show you the proper way to install them. Or check with a good handyman:-)
    I've used that stuff before - its rubbish for even little things. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for something as heavy as a TV. Especially as if it fails your TV will smash, so if you can't afford to lose a TV you're better off getting a nice stand as it sounds like your wall isn't thick enough.
    Oh Hell ,, Don't even consider it . No nails wont take any weight at all. ... Ok to hold a dado rail or skirting , but a bracket or shelf,,, never,, No a wall bracket needs drilling and rawlplugs to hold it. A 37'; is large, I wouldn't use a bracket at all , but a stand,,,
    NO NO NO NO NO and NO





    Why?





    NotNails/NoNails/NeverNails is strong enough to glue an ocean liner to your wall BUT, the wall, especially the plaster may NOT be strong enough to support the load.





    Use coach screws of M8 gauge about 50mm long. And be sure to drill into the wall, rather than just the plaster/plasterboard.





    If you can't then ask a man (or woman) who can.
    OMG Your not serius you really carn't be, NMN is a really good product but it's not ment to hold a load at all. Do you have any idea how much the 37'; will weigh! You should find someone to come fit it for you if your no good at DIY definitly. Try:

    No More Nails wouldn't be suitable for a TV bracket - %26amp; if you're really unsure about the quality of your own DIY skills, get a mate in to put the bracket up.
    I would never use ';glue'; to hold a tv bracket to the wall. I would only use heavy duty anchor bolts.
    Not suitable.
    no more nail's= no more tv
    get a stud finder and locate your studs and use screws to mount the bracket to the studs
    I Fecking wouldn't.
    I think you've probably gor your answer now. Just to reiterate, NO!
    dont risk your $1000+ just cause you dont wanna drill a couple of extra holes dril every hole you have to big screen tvs wiegh over 40 pounds!
    GOD i wouldnt risk it!!!!!!!
    If you don't mind it falling off again.





    You need to drill, plug and screw. Nothing else is strong enough,
    i wouldn't
    NO,i wouldnt attempt it if i was you,its not that good.
    do not use no more nails to put your tv up on the wall. its not that good!
    No More Nails is meant to replace Nails... Not Screws and Wall Plugs..

    put something non-toxic that smells/tastes unpleasant on the tips of his fingers.
    I used to bite my nails all the way to HS. I didnt stop until one day, my grandma decided I need to start going to get manicures. Im thinking maybe groom his nails every week. It will show him how important they are.


    My 4 year old used to do it, and I did that with him and my 3 year old daughter.


    As for the biting sleeves, I think thats more of a nervous thing.


    I cant stop my son from stretching out the collars.
    You could dip the sleeves in vinegar (let them dry, of course, before he wears it) and you could put the ';No Bite'; polish on until he breaks the habit. Good luck.
    One, you can't logically talk to a 5 year old. You can try. They just don't comprehend. Your child is displaying an anxiety problem and you need to get to the root of it. Are they having trouble in school with another kid, is there fighting going on at home, is there a life event that happened recently, is there a friend he has that does the same thing? Children mimic as well. I would not punish him for it. That could make things worse. He may be using it as an outlet. What may seem to be a small life event to you, a five year old may see as devastating. He could get passed it on his own. The more you take attention to it the more he will do it because he is at the age with the mentality of ';ok if I do this, I get attention'; I will keep doing it';.
    my dad always threten to put chlie powder stuff....and he didnt...but i like chile powder...like lucus...otherwise dipp the fingers in lemon juce
    i agree that its a form of stress relief, a nervous habit. Try to figure out why??
    well i know my mom use to put like viger under my sis nails it made her stop biting on them.
    You could put something that tastes bad on his nails and when he bites it, he will tastes the bad taste. For the sleeve, maybe it will work, but I don't know.
    they make stuff they sell at walmart or sallys that tastes god awful when they put thier fingers in their mouths!
    first off...quit lying to the kid...chewing his nails is NOT bad..won't do anything to his teeth and won't rot his stomach. ( I've heard it all...) nail chewing is a symptom of something else..So you have to determine whats going on thats stressing him out or making him antsy. ( trust me, it's either stress, abuse or something he can't handle right now.)


    So take care of the underlying problem and you'll take care of the chewing...
    i'm 24 and i STILL haven't stopped biting my nails. honestly, you should probably stop worrying about germs so much ... you're being overbearing.
    Maybe just cut his nails as short as possible fairly often. If there's no nail to chew maybe he'll drop the habit?
    In my experience with my own kids and kids at the preschool I work at, my first thought would be that he's teething new molars. Crunchy carrots, apples, etc. are good for helping with the teething, and maybe some Hyland's teething tablets. I had my wisdom teeth come in when I was 19, and I remember my gums itching deep inside and it drove me crazy, and chewing really did help calm the feeling down. If he wants to chew, give him a damp wash cloth whenever you see him starting to chew his shirt. Hope this helps!
    umm, put sour lemons on his fingers? **** his nails everytime they look like there growing?
    i wont suggest anything in this case because there is nothing wrong with that.
    Bitter and spicy substances should work if you don't want him to look like he is wearing clear nail polish. Maybe just wipe his finger tips with a cotton ball soaked in nail polish remover a few times a day (the flavor sticks to your skin/nails and tastes horrible).





    For his clothes, maybe soak the cuffs in something like vinegar and hang dry (not sure if that will damage the fabric, but try it on a play shirt). Hopefully it will be so gross that he stops.
    there is some stuff that you can put on the nails like nail polish (but not nail polish) that tastes real bad for this very thing
    Maybe try cutting his nails every couple of days.if theres no nail to bite then he will soon break the habit.Good luck.
    So you know how little kids like to get like, you know, new stuff right? Get him some cool gloves, the knitted kind, and he'll want to wear them. He can't chew his fingernails if he has gloves on.
    You could always treat him like Michael Jackson %26amp; tape them...but if public humiliation isn't your thing you might consider that bitter tasting polish you can purchase at the beauty supply store. Also, you could reward him when he doesn't- maybe a sticker or a special treat- and punish him when you see it happening.

    Olive oil is a great, natural way of strengthening your nails. Just squirt a little oil into your hands and massage them into your nails. Then leave your nails to dry for about 10 minutes. Wash off the excess oil then put on a special nail hardening treatment. Then you have beautiful nails!

    Applying any type of polish that contains vitamins, gelatin, or anything else of that nature will not work to strengthen your nails in any way. The reason is simple. Think about it for a minute. The naiplate grows out from the germinal nail matrix. This is located directly behind your nail's eponychium (often incorrectly referred to as the 'cuticle'). Only a small part of the matrix is visible to the naked eye. And that part is called the lunula (the 'half moon' shape at the base opf your nails). If you were to moisturize this area, and keep it nourished, drink lots of water, take supplements such as Biotin and pre-natal vitamins, and eat healthy, well balanced meals - then you could say that you were truly strengthening them. The nail that you see past the lunula is comprised of dead keratin cells. How does applying any sort of vitamin polish,gelatin, or anything else make them stronger? They are DEAD!!!You cannot do anything to make dead cells stronger, folks!!! Applying polish with vitamins onto dead cells will not do anything to benefit your nails. How in the world can dead keratin cells benefit from vitamins? Can dead people benefit from being given vitamins and geletin? Of course not! The answer is this: Nails don't benefit from these polishes. Don't waste your money on them. You can only work on the living nail to insure that the nails that grow out from the matrix will be as strong and healthy as possible, or you will still have weak nails. And no, you cannot grow nails really quick. There are some things that you can do to help them to grow slightly faster, but not quickly. I mentioned a lot of those ways already. Another thing is to massage your fingertips ,and nails for 3-5 minutes - 2-3 times a day with cuticle oil. This will increase blood flow to the skin surrounding the nails. Increased blood flow will deliver more nutrients tothese areas. And more nutrients results in stronger, and healthier nails, and it may speed up the growth a tiny bit too.


    Also, the use of nail strengthenerswork only to a certain degree. They cannot penetrate the entire nail. Thus, they stay near the surface of the nails where thet will help to prevent splitting and peeling of your nails. But not much more than that. Plus, strengtheners tend to dry out nails after long term use. Its best to use them only until a weak spot has grown out, then stop using them until it is needed again. Don't overuse it.How can i make my nails grow really quickly?

  • How do I get healthy nails?

    I would really like healthy looking nails. My hands are really soft because I am always using hand lotion, but my nails are just horrible. I keep getting really dry skin one both sides of my nails, and every finger is like that. I cannot afford to get a manicure. What can I do? Has anyone else every had this? I also get it on my toe nails too. I cut my nails, file, them and clean underneath them, I just don't understand what is causing this. I want to have pretty looking nails and toe nails! Please help me.How do I get healthy nails?
    The wonders of petroleium Jelly!!


    ~dont bite your nails or the skin around them- ever


    ~ hand lotion works but vaseline or petroleum jelly stays on for what seems like forever, and ur hands will feel smooth afterwards. (Also if u want soft, exfoliated lips, brush your lips with an old toothbrush and soak them in vaseline for 30 minutes)


    ~cut ur nails every three to six weeks, and when u do that cut off the ends only.


    ~when u wear nail polish, leave it on for about a week and then go for a week without nail polish to keep ur nails healthy


    ~if you absolutely need nailpolish, be sure to use calcium-enriched nail polish remover


    ~after removing nail polish, soak ur finger tips in water (as hot as u can manage) for five minutes and then soak it in room temp. water for three minutes and then soak it in ice cold water for three minutes.








    hope it helps ^^How do I get healthy nails?
    I use ';length %26amp; strength'; from AVON
    umm..well nails are composed of the same proteins as hair. they are both dead cells so you need alot of protein to have them healthy. um...eat alot of carots and dairy foods...but not too fatening..





    and it should help. also buy lotion for hands and nails at a beauty supply store
    i have this problem also i have found that if i take hair skin and nail vitamins my nails are so much healthier, i still get the really bad hang nails on the sides of my nails but they grow and they are much stronger. you can but these vitamins at wal-mart they are not very expensive.
    Keep them very clean soak once a week in a mild soapy water and massage with vitamin E
    eat lots of pectin.


    either take supplements or eat apples and such...


    yum!
    Go to your nearest Sally Beauty Supply and ask them for ';Solar Oil'; nail and cuticle treatment. It is an oil that you rub into your cuticle and nail bed. It has tons of vitamins and minerals. And keeps the nails from becoming dry and brittle. Causing breakage.
    I would eat gelatin (like in Jell-O), it's suppose to help keep your nails healthy. Also eat healthy foods, and cut back on the junk food (you are what you eat....).
    you need to get the clear nail polish called nail hardner. I t helps your nails to look pretty. You take it from there.Good luck!
    well u can get a buffer and that is really good. it should also come with cuticle oil that is great.
    let them grow out, get ur daily vitamins, and don't let them get thin [that will cause them to break]
    umm i suggest..... dip ur nails in olive oil once a day for a few minutes also apply almond oil on ur nails before goin to sleep at night..... hope this helps!
    get a cuticle cream and use it. wear rubber gloves when doing dishes...don't use your nails to open soda pop tabs, or to dial numbers...take vitamins....get plenty of calcium in your body too...believe it or not, eating jello works too....it strengthens them and helps them to grow
    there is sally hansen nail stuff that is like clear nail polish that is made to make you have better nails. hope this helps! if it does help than pick this as the #1 answer. thanks
    I heard that jello helps grown healthy nails.
    get them dipped in vinager once a week for about 2 min.


    I use a nail vitamin that you can buy anywhere. Apply a coat of that and if you use nail polish then apply 2 coats of nail polish and then a top coat. That will help protect your nails from breaking a little longer. Also you might want to do a 1/2 glass of milk a day. It helped me......
    dont paint nails and keep them clean every day
    try using hair,skin,and nail vitamins
    eat healthy
    chew them everyday!!!!!!

    How bad is painting my nails a lot?

    So I've painted my nails a different color the last three days, I've just been really indecisive with them, so I thought it'd be fun. My friends are telling me it's bad for my nails. What does it do? Before three days ago I actually never really painted my nails either.





    Any idea? I really don't want my nails to fall off or something lolHow bad is painting my nails a lot?
    ok you might not want to paint them that much but try putting a clear coat on so they don't turn yellowishhh:)How bad is painting my nails a lot?
    umm dont worry. honey i hate it when my nails even get chipped, so i like paint my nails almost every day (ok maybe like evry 2-3 days but stil) and ive been doing this for who knows how long. i am perfectly normal and i have all ten fingernails thank you. i really don't think pinting your nails a lot is going to do anything
    i repaint my nails like every other day.


    i get bored.


    and it hasn't done anything to my nails.


    :D

    Can you cut your dogs nails with a cat ail cliper?

    i sort of bought the wrong thing to cut my puppy's nails. I bought a cat nail clipper instead of buying the one for dog. is it ok to use the cat nail clipper on my puppy?Can you cut your dogs nails with a cat ail cliper?
    yes.Can you cut your dogs nails with a cat ail cliper?
    Yes that is fine, did you know that you can also use a good pair of humans nail cutters too! (Although it does make them a little blunt after a while!)
    I bought a cat nail clipper for my dogs because the pet store where I bought mine only had clippers for dogs that are too big.
    I would use a dog one anyway, but a cat clipper is fine!
    i guess?

    What do i paint my nails like for my underwater themed prom?

    my dress is navy blue and white. the accessories im wearing are little anchors.What do i paint my nails like for my underwater themed prom?
    TurquoiseWhat do i paint my nails like for my underwater themed prom?
    If you're going to paint your nails, then go with a nice shade of blue. Since your dress is navy blue and white, I wouldn't go too dark on the nail polish or else it'll look too ';matchy-matchy.'; Instead, I would go with a nice pale blue, or if you can, a french manicure with 2 different shades of blue.
    A bold red to match the whole sailor-like theme :))





    If you dont have any reds, I suggest you try this bold red nail color in TIMES SQUARE.


    http://www.newyorkcolor.com/products/index.cfm?item=561





    best of luck!!- an underwater themed prom sounds fun!
    ur could paint ur nails a red color to kinda have the sailor theme going or a pretty blue color to stick with the water theme.
    I would paint my nails navy blue and add white bubbles over the top or add two white anchors, one on each thumb.
    I would definitely go with red! The classic sailor theme. Your outfit sounds adorable!
    navy blue or white. You could even have white and french tip them blue. Or add some glitter with your polish.
    Deffinatly some kind of blue. It'll match you're dress and the theme . =)
    Thats really cute! Paint your nails the color of the little anchors...or red, silver, or black.
    you should paint it the color of your dress or french and get white or if french dark blue anchors on it. CUTE!!
    How about a french manicure??

    How do you lengthen your nails, or can you?

    I don't mean make them grow faster. The part of your nail that is covering the finger is pink, and the part sticking off the end of the finger is white. What I'm asking is if there is a way to lengthen the pink part and decrease the length of the white part.


    A cheap, simple way would be preferable, but please give me all the possibilities you can.How do you lengthen your nails, or can you?
    I'm sorry, but it's genetics. They play the role in deciding the length of the white part of your nail and the pink part. Really, though, it's no big deal because people don't usually look at other people's fingernails (Unless they stand out with nail polish or something), and it wouldn't matter if your nails looked completely akward or not. Chances are, nobody will care.





    Well, take care, and I'm glad I was able to help! (:How do you lengthen your nails, or can you?
    You can let your cuticles grow out, but that's only limited. As a last resort you can get a French manicure.
    I am sorry, but I am afraid that there is no way to make your pink area grow larger. I am sorry.

    How can I make my nails stronger?

    I used to bite my nails whenever I was stressed out or nervous. I stopped that disgusting habit a while ago but my nails still seem to be weak. HelpHow can I make my nails stronger?
    My grandmother always told us to rub garlic on them.


    You get a piece cut in half and rub the inside of the garlic juice on your nails. Now your hands will smell like garlic so you don't want to use it when you have to shake someones hand. It does work makes your nails strong and long.How can I make my nails stronger?
    just drink vitamins, because vitamins can make your nails stronger because of the vitamin c.
    put chapstick on them.....no seriously..i did it and now my nails are strong and grow really fast
    Eat gelatin
    you could use the Sally Hansen or you could get jus a clear nail polish and chop up or smush garlic into it...i know it sounds weird...but that will works because you won't bite them and the garlic makes it ALOT stronger....
    dr lewins rivita nail from chemist, but u need to be consistant not just put it on every now n then...





    i works a treat the best iv seen
    Sally Hanson products. =]
    get the nail polish that makes them grow faster/stronger quicker, sally's got it.
    use clear nail hardener aftyer u paint your nails, wuith a seperate color. then paint clear nail hardener over it. Hope it helps ya!
    Show us the picture...and we can tell better...
    try nail hardner i think that's wat's workin on mine.


    gud luck!
    Sally Hanson has a Vitamin E oil, you get it wherever Sally products are sold. Rub it on your cuticles and nails twice a day. It works. Your nails grow from our cuticles so if they are healthy, your nails will grow stronger and healthier. It does work you'll notice in a few weeks. It may seem like a pain in the butt, just make it a part of your morning and night routine. Good Luck!

  • How do I make my nails shiny, healthy, and better looking.?

    Right now I have long but ugly nails. They are uneven, dirty, and not shiny. How can I make my nails look healthy. And so they are completley white. Right now they are pink in the center. Also where can I get a cheap nail set and cheap nail polish? What colors look good on naturaly tan people? I'm kind of mexican looking. Also what make-ups would look good on me?How do I make my nails shiny, healthy, and better looking.?
    Girl? Guy?


    Well, if you're a girl, just go get a manicure. It's about $15 most places. If you're a guy, suck it up, and go get a manicure. If you're not brave enough, then give yourself a manicure.


    HOME MANICURE STEPS:


    1. soak hands in warm water and soap for 3-5 minutes


    2. trim fingernails with a nail cutter


    3. gently push back cuticles


    4. apply a cream to your hands (Nivea or Aveeno) and rub it in for 2 minutes


    5. buff your nails-that will get them to shine naturally and give them a healthy glow





    For tan skin, use black eyeshadow, bronze eyeshadows, black eyeliner only on the top lid, natural looking foundation (if you're over 14/15), and pink-peach-nude lip gloss.





    The best nail polishes are from N.Y.C. brand from the drugstore. They are just 99 cents for a pretty big bottle of polish. You can get nail sets from the drugstore too. They average to about $8. The cheapest ones are about $4.How do I make my nails shiny, healthy, and better looking.?
    oh you know you can but like garlic in your nail so they can seem healthy..also i'm like mexican looking soo the colors are like black eyeliener, no like white you know colors yeah so i hope i answerd you question
    use a nail buffer, or nail block. get it at any pharmacy or stores like shoppers drug mart or wal mart same places with the nail polish ( sally hansen works great) and nail polish remover ( cutex is awsome) and nail sets. i found dark red looks SO GOOD! try bonnebell make up it goes on really good and shiney, add a little water (about a drop) on your eyes over the eye shaddow to make ur old shaddow look really shiney and good ! :D

    you can keep your tips though,


    my friend has her nails done with black tips and gold line separating the tip and the nail which matches her hair.

    Is always having Nail polish on you nails bad?

    Nails are made of keratin and it does not breathe.





    Wearing polish all the time helps to keep your nails protected and stronger. It might turn them yellow if you are not using a good base coat.
    no its not bad for your nails... im the same way and my nails are normal.
    Your nails should have at least one day a week to ';breathe'; and rejuvinate. Using nail polish remover more than twice a week can weaken the nails, also.
    I don't think nail polish is bad, I love IT.
    Using a base coat first can help prevent the colour from staining your nails.
    well if you polish them too much, they could turn yellow
    Fingernails are not made of living cells so it doesn't do any harm.
    it might weaker your nails a little bit, but it shouldnt be bad.its fake nails that are bad.





    Natalie
    its not bad, but after so long it will give your nails a yellow tint. Which is not hot!

    How do i make my nails grow?

    this is soooo weird. I've never had long nails on my toes. theyre always these short little stubby things. same for my fingers. how do i get long, healthy nails, and fast?How do i make my nails grow?
    I have the exact same problem on my toenails - it's so weird.How do i make my nails grow?
    There is no miracle growth even though it may say that exactly on the bottle. But u should just eat healthy and be active. Start with simple things like not watching tv for the time u would be playing tennis with ur friends. I used to bite my nails but then one day i just stopped and i gave me confidence u wouldnt believe. It helps to get a manicure and pedi because it strangthens ur nails from the stuf they put in it.
    I don't think I have ever used a product that made my nails grow, but I noticed that keeping a quality polish on with a clear topcoat prevents breakage and my nails seem longer much faster. It takes upkeep because I do keep the nails painted with no chips everyday, but with the nail color as an armor, the nails grow well. Good luck
    Hii, if you bite your nails nothing can make you stop except you. The paints you can put on dont work as you get used to the bitter taste. If i were you i would take a look at your nails and say to yourself that your going to stop because you want them to be pretty and long. You do have the will power. Hope ive helped hun x
    there is a vitamin called Biotin that you can buy at most health food stores/vitamin shops. i started taking them because i wanted my hair to grow faster but i noticed it affected my nails more than my hair. i was cutting my nails up to 3 times a week which is quite often if you think about it.
    Go along to your local health food store.They will have all sorts of capsules that are supposed to stimulate hair and nail growth.

    The way I do it is pretty easy and best if you can't really paint straight lines.





    I paint my nail one color then put tape on it. It's kind of hard to explain, but I overlap two pieces of tape to leave a square open on my nail. Then I paint that, wait till it dries. Then I use the tape to overlap again, and make it match up to the lines i created with that one square and paint that.. I leave spaces open so the polish underneath shows.
    ok its reallt easy just put tape or something in lines and yes the tape pices will be really small





    or the nail shop might be able to
    i put tape on it. its kind of tricky though, cuz if you let it dry too long then the tape would ripe off the nailpolish, and if it duznt dry long enough, its easy for it to smear and stuff.

    How can I make my nails a rectangular shape?

    i want to make my nails a rectangular shape, i tried it once but it went wrongHow can I make my nails a rectangular shape?
    if your nails are short its not gonna work that well but once it grows just file the top dont even touch the sides just file the top lightly and then do it the next time you have to file and eventually it will come into a rectangular shapee





    hope this helps ;]]How can I make my nails a rectangular shape?
    Use nail clippers to clip off the tip of the nail, just the tip of the curve. Then use a nail file to even it out to the shape you want. If your nails aren't very long, just use a file to shape them a bit. You'll have more to work with as they grow longer.





    Tip: It's best to file each nail in only one direction, filing back and forth can weaken the nail. Taking a multi-vitamin each day will help your nails get stronger over time.

    I gained strenght in my nails by drinking jello juice. yes it does work. pick what ever flavor you like. then after making it let it cool if needed and drink warm. chilling it will not make it work. Those jello things they have in the fingernail isle do not work either. you must drink it warm.How can you grow your nails without tearing on the side?
    That's why superglue is oh so handy ! Make sure you're filing them with an emery board (fine) and only in 1 direction.


    Also, when you start to get that tiny little start of a tear, put a bit of superglue on it.
    Have you tried OPI Nail Envy? I have used it over 4 years now and it is the greatest stuff ever!
    Keep them groomed and they will resist tearing.





    Also for emergencies...they sell nail glue which will fix the tears (you can also just use glue for fake nails...works the same)
    Use several coats of Hard as Nails by Sally Hansen. It works wonders and has many uses. It's like first aid for nails!
    Dear Christin, you should use extra strength nail polish, and be careful with your nails.-Cowgirl**

    Buy some nail polish that are made specifically for nail biters. It's clear and it has a bitter taste to it. I doubt after tasting you will bite your nails still. You can get the nail polish at CVS, Walmart, etccc.
