My toe and nail is infected. I am taking antibiotics- will it fall off?will it infect the bone fracture?help!?

After dropping a massive dumbell on my big toe it has became infected and wont stop seeping blood and pus. Its more than two weeks now since the incident. I really did take my toe for granted. But now I will be ever so careful.My toe and nail is infected. I am taking antibiotics- will it fall off?will it infect the bone fracture?help!?
it will get better and your toe nail depending on how bad it is damaged will most likely fall off but the good news is you will get a brand new one :)My toe and nail is infected. I am taking antibiotics- will it fall off?will it infect the bone fracture?help!?
A very similar thing happened to my friend last year. She trying to bunk her beds in her dorm and her roomate dropped it on my friends toe. Her toe looked awful black and blue. It was gross. After a few weeks though the toenail did fall off. I have a feeling yours will do the same. Don't worry though hers has grown back and looks completely normal. She also said that it felt alot better after it finally did fall off.
I hope you are seeing a doctor!!





If not properly treated, it COULD fall off! That infection could get more serious and turn into gangrene (the toe dies). In that case it would have to be cut off.





If the infection spreads it could effect the bone or even the whole leg. Same story -- if it gets too bad they will cut off the leg.





If you are already seeing a doctor, follow his orders. if you are trying to treat this yourself, you need to go to the Emergency Room.












Don't stress yourself out too bad. What usually happens is your toenail will turn black and blue and stay like that for about a month or maybe a little longer. After sometime the nail will eventually fall off, but do not panic because it will grow back. My fiance is in construction and does this constantly to his hands. It does look gross but with time it will heal.
something similer happend to me give it time and let it fall of by itself do not pick at it or touch it with dirty hands it will hurt sometimes but the only thing you can do is wait for it to fall off and heal by itself it shouldnt infect the bone if you keep it clean
Yer ive had that, it will cure, just keep the nail from rubbing on the skin, it cleared up in a month or 2

Am I hitting the nail on the head or is it my imagination - what should I do?

My b/f was somewhat drunk a few weeks ago and started telling about his friend's new gal. His friend brought her to a golf tournament and my b/f told me how good looking she was (too good looking for his friend he said) and went on to add while he(my b/f) was on the course he watched her and there were several guys talking to her and how good she looked. I got pissed but kept my lip zipped. Then a week or two later he started on her again and apparently him and some friends had been at a club talking about her. Then days later he was drinking and went on to tell me again how good looking she is and the story of her divorce, he knows where she lives the whole nine yards. Again he was drinking the other nite and went on to tell me Jack brought photos of her to the golf course and she was ';looking good';. Now should I let this go, sit up pay attention and watch to see what is going on or what. Do you think first chance my b/f will be after her. Opinions and help pleaseAm I hitting the nail on the head or is it my imagination - what should I do?
Why do women have to be so subversive about everything. Just tell him that it annoys/bothers you when he's talking about how hot this other chick is. Don't just sit there and stew about it.Am I hitting the nail on the head or is it my imagination - what should I do?
umm sounds like u got it..i always say go with ur instinct-i think u did hit the nail right on the head..and given the opportunity yes i think ur bf will jump on it..sorry but i definitely think u should ';sit up pay attention';..good luck..
He's already after her but Jack is in the way... or, he's one of those guys who gets his jollies by seeing his own girl get jealous. Either way he's bad news and very immature.
First off, your bf is a stupid insensitive drunk not worthy of your trust or friendship. Dump him and move on.
I think your b/f need to stop drinking, because if your not around and drinking he might just cheat on you with her. The reason is drinking shuts off the reason part of you brain. He doesn't even know that he says or does anything that upsets you. Tell him but in a nice way
deid i mention that i dont drink lol whatch this guy like a hawk honey especialy if he is better looking than his friend or makes more money than him she might be a gold diggin tramp ya know? did i mention i dont drink and im a realy nice guy lol
Ask him. There are a lot of possibilities.


1. You're right and he likes her more than you.


2. You're wrong and he's just making you jealous on accident.


3. You're wrong, but he's making you jealous on purpose.


4. When he's drunk he can't think straight.


My first guess would be 4 personally.
totally dont hang out with him. is he your boy friend to talk abou t another girl? thats jjust stupid. that is just like cedric, cho chang, and harry. cho chang kept on talking about cedric to harry. seriosuly, there is no point hanging out with him. tell him to hang out with that girl is she is just too stunning and to leave you alone
Sorry, but your question is too long!
You should, first, tell him it bugs you that he keeps saying these things about her. If he gets all defensive in return, then I'd be worried - but if he truly seems concerned about your feelings and lets up so you're more comfortable, then it's probably okay. But if he gets defensive or starts doing it more, I'd dump him if i were you. Good luck.
21% of guys in relationships are on the lookout for something better
maybe he is trying to make you jealous
i think that's pretty nervy for him to keep commenting about the girl's looks. it seems that he only does it when he's drunk, which may mean that he just might think she's a good looking gal, and nothing more. however, if it is really bothering you, speak up. say something casual like, ';man, you think about that girl a lot!'; or ';she seems to be one of your favorite conversation topics.'; then it's not threatening, and you bring up the fact that it is clearly bothering you. don't let him tell you how YOU feel. if he deals with it by saying that you're overreacting, then he's a tool because in reality, he should be apologizing for upsetting you. a nice guy will admit that he didn't realize it bothered you, stop the bad behavior, and move forward. if he's a douche, then he'll be a jerk about the whole thing and turn the conversation against you. so, i would casually bring up the fact that it bothers you and see how he reacts. good luck! :)
Well for one thing it sounds like he has a drinking problem,or like he's not a good drunk.If I were you I wouldn't kepp my mouth shut about this.Tell him it's rude to be talking about other girls that way in front of you.Guys are stupid,and he might just not have realized that he was hurting your feelings.But if he drinks this much and acts like this when he's drunk,maybe it's time to call it quits.Tell him to call him when he's sober.
He's a sleaz. Dump him and move on. For all u know he could already be cheating on you.
He's not trying to make you jealous- drinking makes people loose their judgement, and one of the first things that happens is that their tongue loosens and they say things they've been thinking.





He thinks she's gorgeous, that's the fact. Now here's the tough part: does he still care about you more, or will he care about her more? If I were you, I would get out of the relationship before I could be hurt.
By your silence you give him tacit permission to pursue her instead of you. I dont think you realized it, or that he consciously realized it. He might not think it, but thats what is happening.





Call her, and ask her about him. If you can be open, and an amazing person on the phone, she will hate his guts for being willing to betray you. She woulnt give him the time of day, even if he pursues.





Then talk to him, and give him an ultimatum. Say Im comitted to you, but if you are out to betray our relationship - you arent in it. No other woman sleeps in my bed - I am not getting her diseases, nor am I sharing my man, or the heart of my man.





If he is dumb enough to pursue her, then .. you dont have to keep him.
You are a very tolerant person, I must say. You are very forgiving and kind. I don't know too many women that would put up with this kind of crap.





FP
First of all, your boyfriend drinks too much. Second, he's obviously fixated on her. And he's insensitive toward your feelings.





Lose him!
You should just watch carefully. Don't assume anything and don't point fingers until you have evidence. She is new in your crowd, so of course everyone will be talking about her for a while. Maybe it is just that and it will die down after a while. As for him talking about her to you....tell him that it is insensitive and that he needs to stop before he gets a swift kick to the forehead.
I think he's being horribly inconsiderate to keep bringing her up, and you have every right to be pissed about it. I hope you can let him know that it hurts for him to constantly comment on how hot this other woman is while he's taking you for granted, and it sounds like he's already halfway out the door on his way to hit on her.

    I cut my toe nails yesterday and i had a hang nail on my big toe so i pulled it out and now my toe is swollen

    it hasnt gone down and my toe looks purple any suggestions?I cut my toe nails yesterday and i had a hang nail on my big toe so i pulled it out and now my toe is swollen
    In my experience this could be one of two things.





    A)Infection, which seems the most likely since it the time between the hangnail and the swollen toe was less than a week





    B)Ingrown toenail. I've had a couple, and they're terrible. A small piece of nail grows into your toe, in the wrong direction, and then your body fights the intrusion by swelling up, I had to have surgery to


    have it removed...very bloody and pretty painful, so good luck! I hope


    it's option A)I cut my toe nails yesterday and i had a hang nail on my big toe so i pulled it out and now my toe is swollen
    It will be very sore for several days. If it gets infected, then you have to see a Doctor. Try putting an antibiotic cream on it or keep it clean with hydrogen peroxide. Try to stick with flip-flops or sandals for a few days. It should improve by then.
    Im sorry, brother. Go see a doc...
    absolutely no idea sorry!
    put ice on it and if that dont work go see a doctor
    nope sorry get better tho
    sounds like you busted a blood vessel in the process soak that toe in some epson salt, if the wound is still open squeze the toe and see if any pus or purple blood comes out, fluctiate the water from hot to cold.

    I received this amazing wall decorative blanket/gift.How do I hang it w/out putting nail holes/tac in it?

    I received this 40 year old hand made blanket as a gift. The blanket was hand made in Peru and it is amazing. I don't want to sleep w/ it, it is a piece of art. I want to hang it on the wall as a display, however, I don't know how to hang it w/out putting nail/tac holes in the blanket. I surely do not want to do that. Any ideas? I like nice things, but, you could say I am, ';wine decorator on a beer budget.'; Any ideas , THANKSI received this amazing wall decorative blanket/gift.How do I hang it w/out putting nail holes/tac in it?
    You can purchase quilt hangers, or you could make your own!





    It's not difficult, all you need are some simple tools, and a little imagination.


    lay a piece of wood (suitable size to overlap the width of the blanket about 2 inches on either side) on the floor, and place the edge of the blanket over it (allow the blanket to overlap a little) then place another piece of wood (same size) on TOP of the first peice. With screws long enough to enter the top peice of wood (but not so long as they stick out the other side of the bottom piece) attach the pieces together. Put the screws into the end of the wood where you allowed it to overlap.


    Tighten as tightly as possible, and there you go! Attach picture frame wire to each end of the wooden 'hanger', and mount to the wall.





    might take you a few minutes, but you could use decorative wood, and personalize the hanger to accentuate the blanket!





    hope this helps:)





    ToddI received this amazing wall decorative blanket/gift.How do I hang it w/out putting nail holes/tac in it?
    You need to go to store and buy a quilt display holder.They just tighten up on the blanket and you attach the holder to the wall.
    hang it with clothes pens


    or velcro

    try l'oreal.Whats a good brand of black nail polish thats lasts a long time, and where can i find it?
    OPI makes great polish
    The best brand is Maybeline Express Finish. It dries really fast and lasts longer. You can probably get it at Wal-Mart or a drugstore.
    look @ walmart
    You can try Maybeline Express Finish. It is suppose too last for 2 weeks with no chipping. I also recommend O.P.I. that is an excellent brand of polish and you an get it at a beauty supply store like ';Sally's Beauty Supply';
    OPI is really good - i don't know if they have black, but you usually have buy this brand in a salon or beauty store, and it's around 10-12 bucks. I only buy this now, because it stays the longest.

    I didn't know that you shouldn't wash anything with nail polish remover on it. Will washer be ok?

    My kids spilled 1/2 a bottle of finger nail polish remover on a rug and I washed it, but it still smells like polish remover. After I washed the rug I noticed that the lid (on the washer) says not to wash anything flammable in it (and the bottle of remover says ';flammable';). Should I use something to clean the washer or will the finger nail polish remover possibly cause problems with the washer in the future? (Don't worry----I'm not planning to dry the rug in the dryer)I didn't know that you shouldn't wash anything with nail polish remover on it. Will washer be ok?
    The article I read once on bulwark.com claims that volatile substances dissipate into the atmosphere. They claim that washing in your home washer should render it safe. however, the odor and/or stains from flammable liquids may not come out with regular detergents, as you found out. Maybe you could air it out on a deck or porch for a day. But, as far as the article I've read claims, it is OK to wash in your washer.I didn't know that you shouldn't wash anything with nail polish remover on it. Will washer be ok?
    I think you are OK. They real danger is drying something flammable in the dryer for obvious reasons. If you already did it and nothing bad happened, don't worry about it, but don't do it again :)
    I think its safe. I would run an empty wash thougn because your next load might end up smelling like nail polish remover.

    My Robo Dwarf Hamster needs his nails cut and I need to know how much it would cost?

    I am sure my poor baby needs his nails cut but I am afraid the vet would be too expensive. How much is it?My Robo Dwarf Hamster needs his nails cut and I need to know how much it would cost?
    It usually costs about 7-10 dollars if you go to Petcetera, Petsmart, or even the vet. You can cut his nails by yourself, but you need to be very careful. Use a normal nail cutter and hold his leg and make sure you only cut them half way so their not too short. Good luck!My Robo Dwarf Hamster needs his nails cut and I need to know how much it would cost?
    they will do it at petco or petsmart for a bout 10$...thats where we get my rabbits nails cut at!

    How do i clean off a paint brush that has nail polish dried onto it?

    okay, so i bought those really skinny paint brushes that you use to paint small streaks and stripes on your nails. I used one of them to paint black stripes on my nails (a zebra design) and now i can't get the black paint off of the brush! i tried soaking the brush in nail polish remover over night and wiping it off in the morning, but it still wouldn't come off! the bristles are all stuck together with black nail polish. i do not wish for this to happen when i use my other brushes! how do i get it off?How do i clean off a paint brush that has nail polish dried onto it?
    I'm guessing you used a synthetic brush. China Bristle is much better for what you are trying to do. You can get them at a craft store, and they usually have tan bristles. Immediately after you are done with your nails, soak them in a small cup with nail polish remover, or better yet straight acetone. That is the active ingredient in nail polish remover, but more concentrated. You can get acetone at any hardware store or home center in the paint department. Hope this helps.How do i clean off a paint brush that has nail polish dried onto it?
    acetone, next time clean them when your DONE!
    wait it off.

    Is it bad if you file down your teeth with a nail file???

    my friend just did that but is if bad for her teeth???Is it bad if you file down your teeth with a nail file???
    For a small chip on the teeth and you can't go to the dentist right away,,,, people have done this to smooth a rough edge of a break. It takes a little while but don't do too much because if you get into the pulp of the tooth it will really hurt,,,,,but the enamel part will be just fine. The dentist's drill peices use material very simular to a nail file.Is it bad if you file down your teeth with a nail file???
    DEFINITELY, IT IS VERY VERY HARMFUL FOR YOUR TEETH........please never indulge into it and ask your friend also to visit a dentist just to see that no permanent damage has been done to those ';filed'; teeth by this DYT technique and if yes, dentist would be able to rectify it .
    depends does teeth grow back?

    How can i paint my brothers nails besides when hes asleep cause i want it to be embarresing for him?

    tie him upHow can i paint my brothers nails besides when hes asleep cause i want it to be embarresing for him?
    Hhmmm.... If I were you, Id wait til hes watching tv or something. He'll be sitting on the couch, and you can sit on the floor. When hes really into the TV, smooootthhhly and slowly start painting each toe.. It should work,.. Unless you miss and get his toe wet.. That might spoil it..


    Thats the only way I can think of doing, besides when hes sleeping.
    do a bet with him but you may have to do a bet for you first and if you lose you have to show him you wont back out so he doesnt back out but make sure its a bet he will go for but one you know he will lose or just bet he wouldnt get his nails painted
    dont tie him up well dont tie him up and bring him outside just be very quiet and gentel he shouldent wake up get some nail paint that you have (pink is alway good for this) and be quiet and gentel.
    why not when hes asleep? because I did it to my brother one time when he was asleep, he woke up and FREAKED because i hid all the nail polish remover. hilarious might i ad
    tha ts what happened to me but i was handcuffed and dressed in a girls pink lace thongf and hade to get a pancidur
    tie him to a chair. lol
    shave his eyebrow instead..

    Not if you polish them with turtle wax....chamois clothe buff for a nice high shine...

    yes
    I'm not certain I follow you ...but it's okay to leave polish on for a week without removing it, and allowing one ';rest'; day. It's also okay to leave out a rest day and have manicured nails all the time. I have mine polished all the time and I have no trouble with my nails. There are gentle removers available at the drug store that have less odor than salon formulas, Sally Hansen has a couple removers that claim to moisturize nails and keep them from drying out. Cutex has a low odor acetone free formula that I use.





    If you ar worried about nail polish and removers, why not just have a nice polish free buffed shine with you natural nails? It's quite pretty, doesn't harm the nails and you don't need to expose them to any chemicals and lacquers.
    It's totally ok! I polish mine every three or four days and they are impossible to break!
    Yes it can be unhealthy if you do it to often
    Buy some keratin products to harden your nails and some oil for nails treatment.

    If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?

    You will grow a new one. Mine got infected from an bite by our bird ( he nicked the corner of my thumbnail at the bottom) and it eventually all fell off but has regrown already.If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?
    gables is right it will grow back after it falls off no worries.If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?
    It lies there wherever it fell until someone throws it away.





    If you were wondering what happens to your finger, you grow another one.
    When I was a little girl about 5 years old I accidently closed the car door on my thumb. I cried because my whole nail came off. I came home and had two bowls one filled with water and the other with ice. Don't worry it grows back. You may want to try and put something over it just to make sure nothing gets in there. Maybe you should call your doctor tomarrow and speak with a nurse because we don't always need to speak to the doctor. The nurse can probaly just as well help you out.

    Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?

    I just had them done for the first time, and do not really like the shape. She made them a little too round for my taste. Do I need to go back to get them to re-shaped or can I do it myself with a nail file? Will doing it myself damage them or make them look bad in anyway?Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?
    Go to the salon - its better to get it done professionally and not ruin it and pay again for the wholeeeeeeeeeeeee set!Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?
    File away!





    I wore false nails for years and my aunt and cousin are nail techs. You wont harm your nails. The worst that will happen is that the polish might start to lift off sooner than normal.
    git em' done at the salon , babe. u could mess em' up reall easy n they wont even look like nails.
    Ohh god no, do them yourself, it's so easy to shape them, you just need a good nail file! Square nails are in!

See your own little steam room for a brief time!?! Make good use of the time~!!!%26lt;G/L%26gt;~!!!! ';R';r`r.r'r`,r'.--
    It's totally ok! I polish mine every three or four days and they are impossible to break!
    I'm not certain I follow you ...but it's okay to leave polish on for a week without removing it, and allowing one ';rest'; day. It's also okay to leave out a rest day and have manicured nails all the time. I have mine polished all the time and I have no trouble with my nails. There are gentle removers available at the drug store that have less odor than salon formulas, Sally Hansen has a couple removers that claim to moisturize nails and keep them from drying out. Cutex has a low odor acetone free formula that I use.





    If you ar worried about nail polish and removers, why not just have a nice polish free buffed shine with you natural nails? It's quite pretty, doesn't harm the nails and you don't need to expose them to any chemicals and lacquers.
    Not if you polish them with turtle wax....chamois clothe buff for a nice high shine...
    Yes it can be unhealthy if you do it to often
    yes
    i think every two weeks would be better , coz you will get tired of polishing it every week and it may damage your nails when you get older

    If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?

    You will grow a new one. Mine got infected from an bite by our bird ( he nicked the corner of my thumbnail at the bottom) and it eventually all fell off but has regrown already.If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?
    gables is right it will grow back after it falls off no worries.If a entire nail fell off, what happens to it?
    It lies there wherever it fell until someone throws it away.





    If you were wondering what happens to your finger, you grow another one.
    When I was a little girl about 5 years old I accidently closed the car door on my thumb. I cried because my whole nail came off. I came home and had two bowls one filled with water and the other with ice. Don't worry it grows back. You may want to try and put something over it just to make sure nothing gets in there. Maybe you should call your doctor tomarrow and speak with a nurse because we don't always need to speak to the doctor. The nurse can probaly just as well help you out.

    Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?

    I just had them done for the first time, and do not really like the shape. She made them a little too round for my taste. Do I need to go back to get them to re-shaped or can I do it myself with a nail file? Will doing it myself damage them or make them look bad in anyway?Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?
    Go to the salon - its better to get it done professionally and not ruin it and pay again for the wholeeeeeeeeeeeee set!Can I file my gel nails to change the shape or should I get it done at the salon?
    File away!





    I wore false nails for years and my aunt and cousin are nail techs. You wont harm your nails. The worst that will happen is that the polish might start to lift off sooner than normal.
    git em' done at the salon , babe. u could mess em' up reall easy n they wont even look like nails.
    Ohh god no, do them yourself, it's so easy to shape them, you just need a good nail file! Square nails are in!


    Try squaring them up, easy peasy!

    first be careful taking a shower or getting dressed it can get trapped in your hair or clothes, and believe me it will be very painful, second if the cut is too close to your finger try some super glue, like the one used for acrylic nail? put it on the crack and hold it together until it dries if is not too close to your finger try cutting it.

    umm, put some Neosporin on it and then gradually switch to NewSkin.





    The Neosporin will give the finger more time to heal itself before you put on the Newskin. So then when u put on the NS, it will have a less probability of stinging.





    My mom recommends crazy-glue if the nail is still partially attached.

    How long does it take 2 grow ur nails out?

    when i was little i chewed my nails, how long does it take?How long does it take 2 grow ur nails out?
    well it takes me like a month to get long nails.. but then again i chew mine also i am guilty. so they dont stay long unless i get my nails done professionally then i dont bite em but my nails are always so thin they break off if i dont chew em newayz i was told u could use some nail hardner from sallys! hahaHow long does it take 2 grow ur nails out?
    Your nails always grow faster in the summer than they do in the winter. It generally takes several days and sometimes weeks for them to grow. Use some kind of clear polish like Sally Hansen. She has some clear polishes that rejuvenate your nails and make them healthier, which means they will grow faster and stronger.

    Nail varnish... Do you hate it?

    I have a really big problem with it.


    I can't stand the sight of it. Also i can't understand why women/ girls have to 'paint' themselves.


    I don't use it.


    Does anyone else hate it? OR yet again, am i the only one?Nail varnish... Do you hate it?
    Why do you hate seeing another colour on someones finger nails?Nail varnish... Do you hate it?
    I'm afraid that it is a sad fact of life that as you age, so do your toe nails - they look old, and start to yellow.


    Nail varnish is a great way to hide old toe nails, so, yes - praise be to whoever invented the stuff - I can hide my aging toe nails under a layer of varnish
    I hate the smell of it and thats about it , im wearing it now , i wear it everywhere . I love going to a nail bar and having your nails done and looking awesome . I really hate not wearing nail varnish


    I luv nail vanish %26lt;3
    I dont really like the varnish itself, it stinks, goes all moggy on your finger. and you have to keep your hands out to dry it for like 30 mins
    I like nail polish. I'm wearing it now. I don't wear makeup ( even thuogh I'm 19) so I think it makes up for it a little bit.
    It's ok yeah. It can make nails look really pretty and match an outfit, but I hate the way it chips so soon!

    What diurnal animal in MA makes a sound like nails on a chalkboard? I heard it the other day in the woods.?

    I was riding my horse in the woods the other day with a few others, and the leader's horse spooked at a strange sound that reminded me of nails on a chalkboard. At first we thought it was a fisher cat, but I did some research and realized that fisher cats scream. So what made that noise? Please help me figure this out.What diurnal animal in MA makes a sound like nails on a chalkboard? I heard it the other day in the woods.?
    Raccoons and foxes will both make noises like you heard, especially during breeding season. This is the breeding season for the red fox, so that may be what you heard. Then warning call in this link is the one you want:

    Should I get acrylic nails? Is it bad for your real nails?

    if you want, yes, you can. they are cute and stylish and transform ordinary nails into extordinary nails. they shouldnt damage your real nails if you remove them correctly (either go back to the salon or do it yourself).





    if youre still worried about it, just get nail art done. it doesnt last as long, and it chips off your nails easily but it still looks really nice.





    good luck and i hope i helped.

    Not only does it save you money but it's also cleaner and safer.Is it better to do your own nails than going to a salon?
    it depends how u like yer nails done.


    i would personally go to a salon.


    knowing how i do my own nails.....


    it aint pretty =] hahaha





    but yeahh i would go to a salon.Is it better to do your own nails than going to a salon?
    It saves money,I do my own at home
    well, it is less expensive, but in most -- if not all -- states, nail salons and nail technicians have to be licensed, and the salons are usually inspected.





    so, i would say, go to a salon to get your nails done...they know how to do it right, they have the training, the licensing and the inspection
    if u are really good at that...it`s OK to do it at home...if not....no!
    Do your own nails and save a ton of money not to mention not being exposed to someone else's nail fungus.

    Is it ok to trim a puppys nails?

    Is it ok to trim a puppys nails and if so how do you do it? My mastiff has sharp nails, He stays in the house and I am afraid he might scratch my kids. He has scratched me but not too bad, I do not have the money to take him to the vet right now or i would.Is it ok to trim a puppys nails?
    Yes you should be trimming his nails. You can buy a nail trimmer from any pet store or even Walmart. If your puppy's nails are black it might be hard to see the ';quick'; so cut very little off. Also, if you call local groomers sometimes they will do nail cutting very cheaply - $5 usually around here if you want to take him over there and have someone else do it. Maybe if you bring your own nail clippers they can show you how to do it too so you can do it on your own after that. Also, if you walk him on hard surfaces (asphalt, sidewalk etc) his nails will wear themselves down somewhat as well. But the best thing is to trim them every other week or so. Its important to start now too so he's used to it as he grows up and doesn't fuss about it. Make sure to give him treats and praise when you do it!Is it ok to trim a puppys nails?
    Yes. The earlier the better that you start with your puppy...especially with a large bred puppy like a Masiff. You'll be teaching him to let you touch his feet which is extremely important. Just barely clip them so you don't hit the quick. You want to keep the situation as pleasant to him as possible or he'll associate you with pain. I would clip every two weeks and give him treats either at the end or between clipping each nail. Good luck with your big puppy. It's so much better to do this yourself then taking him somewhere else anyways.
    It is ok, but you have to be very carefull not to cut into the skin inside his nails. Usually pet refuges and the humane society perform these and sometimes even have a vet for a fraction of the price of a regular vet. It is very tricky and if cut it bleeds a lot so Id try and make some calls to pet associations in your area so you can at least see how they do it and have them recommend the correct pet nail cutter for your dog before you do it by yourself. For reference, I live in Tampa and took my found puppy dog to the animal shelter and they provided a vet ($15), clipped the nails for free, and gave me the medication and shampoo for a skin problem ';Cooney'; was having ($20).
    Keep a bar of plain soap beside you while you cut the puppy's nails. If your puppy is very young, then use regualr nail clippers. If the nails are stronger, use dog clippers (at just about any pet store, or Wal Mart) If you happen to accidently cut the quick (the vein in the dogs nail) then scrape the bleeding nail across the soap. This will stop the bleeding. Good Luck
    Yes. You can buy a special set of clippers made for cutting dog's toenails. It isn't hard unless the dog objects to it.
    It's okay to trim their nails but it's a lot of work and you have to buy a special dog nail clipper of you could seriously hurt your dog
    you can clip them. if he is still very young his nails should be very weak. if so, use a regular nail clippper. if they are developed and strong, use a dog nail clipper. either way, just be sure you don't go as far down as the vein that runs through the center of the nail. they bleed a lot.
    You can clip them yourself. If he's a pup, you might be able to use fingernail clippers, but you'll eventually need dog nail-clippers (at any pet store or mass merchandiser like Walmart). Be sure not to clip the qwik as it will bleed and make the dog fear future nail-trims. My dog used to be great till I nicked her once. She has NEVER let me touch her paws since. Its a fight even at the groomers. If the nails are white/clear, you can see the qwik but it's more difficult if they're black nails. If so, you can see the qwik from underneath (if you can get the paw at that angle).





    The bigger pet stores and any grooming salon will do nails. Around here they charge $8 to $10 to do it.





    You want to clip them regularly (whether you do it or have someone else do it) because indoor dogs don't wear them down like outside dogs do and it can cause problems. I actually read that BACK problems can be caused by it... cuz once they're too long, they walk differently and it throws everything out of whack. Plus, if they grow a long time, it seems (from my experience) like the qwik grows too... so then you CANT clip them as short as you can if you don't let that happen.
    It's perfectly fine to trim your puppies nails. You want to watch out because there are nerves that run through the puppy's nails (The quick). Put the puppy in down and roll him over to back. Give him lots of belly rubbins. Don't get him to riled up or you won't be able to keep him there.





    Once he's relaxed play with his paws a bit. You want him to get used to it. Some dogs HATE having thier feet touched. Play with his paws, and take your time to examine where the nerve is. If he has white nails you'll be able to see it pretty easily. If not just trim the tip of the nail. If you happen to snip the nerve put some baking flour on it to stop the bleeding. You won't need much.





    When you're finished make sure to give him a special treat.





    I groom my girls every day (brushing) Nail trim time comes and even though they are anxious the trust is there. They lay down and roll over themselves because they know when the deed is done they get cheese! LOL





    Good Luck
    Definitely - you should start cutting pups nails to get him used to it, so you can continue cutting them when he gets older.
    Yes, you can trim them. If you never have before, I wouldn't advise you to do it. I am guessing his nails are black, so you can't see the blood line. Best advise would be to take him to Petsmart, the groomers will do it for $5. Ask them to show you were to cut, so you don't cut too short. Once you nick him a few times, he will become very ';Trim-shy'; and with a dog that big, it won't be a fun job.
    They make special nail clippers for dogs.
    Yes, but make sure you use a clipper designed to cut dog's nails. Don't use a human nail clipper.
    Yes, it is okay to trim puppy nails. You can buy dog nail clippers at the pet store. Some dogs have a mark on their nails so you dog clip the nail in the quick. If you are unable to see the nail mark simply clip the puppies/dog's nail where it hooks.
    you can but i wouldnt. the vet probably will cost as much if you did it yourself. if you dont know how and what your looking for, dont do it.
    Yes!


    You should start now trimming your puppys nails so he gets used to it and accepts it as routine.





    If you don't trim a dogs nails and they don't get enough exercise on an abrasive surface (like pavement) their nails will grow to a painful length for them. I have see dogs with nails so long they curl under making it hard for them to walk!





    Becareful when trimming nails. You don't want to cut to close to ';the quick'; and cause bleeding. You need a good pair of animal nail trimmers. . .not your regular human fingernail type.





    Our dog is so frightened of getting her nails trimmed that we have to take her to the vet. My husband and I tried to do it ourselves but she struggles so much we can't hold her.


    The vet charges us $20.00 and we get this done about every 4 to 6 weeks.





    Good Luck!
    Yes you can trim them, but only the little points on them. Be very carefull and use a human nail clippers and do it sideways so the nail is kindof flat in the nail clipper or you will get a rough edge. You can also just file them if the dog will let you.
    Yes, in fact it is advisable. If you start now, he will let you clip them as he grows older. You will need to buy dog nail clippers from a pet supply store (NEVER use people clippers). Its pretty easy to do. If your dog has clear nails, just clip below the pink (that's a blood vessel). If your dog has black nails, you'll want to clip them about where they bend to grow vertical. The clippers should come with directions and will have a picture that illustrates that better. The hardest part is getting puppy to hold still!!
    Yes, go to any store that sells pet supplies and get a pet nail trimmer. If you use regular nail clippers then his nails will split. Just trim off the point, if you go too deep you'll hit the cuticle and he will bleed.
    he needs to exercise, if you're not walking him 45 mins a day, he is feeling miserable. mastiff are working dogs. let him run and walk along the sidewalk can grin those nails quite a bit.





    also you need to train your dog to submit on their back, practice holding their feet so that they know that it is ok, do not trim their nails too far in, it hurts. also reward them for being submissive with a treat or peanut butter, so that they know that laying on their back and getting a nail trim will result in treats.
    yes it's ok to trim yourself. Just take caution when doing so, there is a blood vessel underneath his nail, its called the quick. If you clip this AT ALL, he will bleed a lot. And then you will have bigger issues on your hands, like a ridiculous vet bill, for them to just dip his nail in baby powder.
    Yes it is o.k. to trim them you can buy them fairly cheap depending on where you get them. You can also buy a file to file them after ward. You need dog nail clippers. Try Dollar General-Wal-Mart-Food-Lion did have them in the pet section. Or try a pet or animal food store. They are not real expensive. I took mine to get theirs trimmed once and they did a poor job and even trimmed them too close so i do it my self now. This was at a grooming place. When you trim them it is good to do so after a bath. Be sure that the little safety thing is on the inside so you do not trim too close. I need to give all mine a bath and trim theirs to either today or tomorrow. I guess if you can't find a pet file that you could use a regular file. Just take your time and try not to trim too close.
    That vein everyone talks about it the hollow looking center of its nail. all you should do is clip right at the point, Just clip the very tip of the nail and you shouldnt have a problem. Look closley to see if you see the hollow spot. You shouldnt even need to clip that close to it. Just clip the point off and you will be good.
    You can buy a nail clipper at a pet store. You must know the breed to know when to stop clipping. A dog's nails are tied to some serious nerve/blood endings and can result in disaster if not done right.
    if there black, you need only nip off the very tip... nothing further, then get him a good walking on the sidewalk or cement. This will naturally file down the sharper points. If your afraid of cutting the nail get a emory board or a metal nail file and trying to file them into a smoother rounder nail Be aware a puppy isnt going to sit for a long period of time and you need some one to help you hold him. The local groomers and vet clinics can provide you some services for the price of a regular manicure if you dont want to do it at all.
    there is a tool 2 use 2 clip their nails and yes it is ok as long as u don't cut them 2 short. Just enough so u they aren't sharp. go 2 a prt store and ask them 4 a nail clipper 4 dogs.
    yes, it is perfectly fine. just take his paw and press in the center to make all of the nails stick out. when they are sticking out you should be able to see where it is clear. just clip a small amount at a time, dont cut too far back or it will hurt him and it will be hard to get him to let you do it in the future. its really not hard! good luck

    What does it mean when the base of someone's nails are blue-tinged?

    'Base' as in towards the palms, not toward the tips.What does it mean when the base of someone's nails are blue-tinged?
    If you are cold your fingernails will go slightly blue, the colder you are the bluer they will go, but this is not a health problem. But in all seriousness if your fingernails are blue all the time, it can mean you have problems with your circulation, usually caused by heart disease.What does it mean when the base of someone's nails are blue-tinged?
    It is very serious, It means that there isn't enough Oxygen in the Blood Stream.


    Circulation isn't what it should be.





    What are the conditons that made you ask this question?

    I have an ingrowen toe nail. how do i get rid of it.?

    no going to the doctor please.I have an ingrowen toe nail. how do i get rid of it.?
    You need to take nail scissors and cut the side of the nail that's embedded and pull it out of the skin.





    Then you need a several times a day regimen of using hydrogen peroxide on it.. followed by neosporin.. and a bandaid.





    Soaking in salt water (epsom preferably) will also help.





    In all honesty.. you may need to go to the doctor.





    Here's a good article:





    http://www.footphysicians.com/footanklei鈥?/a>I have an ingrowen toe nail. how do i get rid of it.?
    ive had many ingrown toes nails your options


    mess with it yourself i'd take a knife or scissors and cut down the side then yank it off cuticle (hurts)


    or


    dude Doctor ten minutes no pain all good
    its according to how bad it is you need to go see a pediatyist and have it surgically removed. thats what i had to do i kept them. sence i had the surgery, 2yrs ago, never had one scence
    i cut it off...
    I don't know but my dad had one of those and it really hurt! Try cutting it! (it will hurt)
    if it has already started growing into the skin then the skin will become infected and a big green or yellow bubble on your toe will form, when i had mine the doc poped the bubble and squeezed the gewy stuff out, and then wraped it up tight.
    A surefire way is to cut off your toe.

    I have an ingrowen toe nail. how do i get rid of it.?

    no going to the doctor please.I have an ingrowen toe nail. how do i get rid of it.?
    You need to take nail scissors and cut the side of the nail that's embedded and pull it out of the skin.





    Then you need a several times a day regimen of using hydrogen peroxide on it.. followed by neosporin.. and a bandaid.





    Soaking in salt water (epsom preferably) will also help.





    In all honesty.. you may need to go to the doctor.





    Here's a good article:

    ive had many ingrown toes nails your options


    mess with it yourself i'd take a knife or scissors and cut down the side then yank it off cuticle (hurts)


    or


    dude Doctor ten minutes no pain all good
    its according to how bad it is you need to go see a pediatyist and have it surgically removed. thats what i had to do i kept them. sence i had the surgery, 2yrs ago, never had one scence
    i cut it off...
    I don't know but my dad had one of those and it really hurt! Try cutting it! (it will hurt)
    if it has already started growing into the skin then the skin will become infected and a big green or yellow bubble on your toe will form, when i had mine the doc poped the bubble and squeezed the gewy stuff out, and then wraped it up tight.
    A surefire way is to cut off your toe.

    Take a big spoon of vinegar in a glass ans put iron nails in it. note the observation?

    vinegar is acidic hence it has a property to corrode elements which comes in contact with it like Iron.


    When iron nail is put in the glass of vinegar it starts reacting with the vinegar,hence giving rise to a stable compound called as iron acitate with the evolution of hydrogen...

    I dyed my hair and the gloves broke, now I have two coloured nails. How can I get it off, I've tried bleach.

    Haha. The same thing happened to me about a month ago. I tried EVERYTHING to get it off but nothing works. My suggestion, go to the nail salon. They used the buffer thing and filed my nails down. I mean my nails were a little thin and brittle but at least they weren't black.I dyed my hair and the gloves broke, now I have two coloured nails. How can I get it off, I've tried bleach.
    The same thing happened to me about 6 weeks ago, only 1 nail though. I tried nail polish remover (didn't work) and resisted the urge to paint over it with nail polish. It eventually wore off due to a combination of a daily shower and washing my hands a few times a day, it took about 2 weeks to go though. Wash those nails with hotter water than you usually to and use a nail brush to scrub them.I dyed my hair and the gloves broke, now I have two coloured nails. How can I get it off, I've tried bleach.
    try cologne .. if that doesn't work, just leave it .. if anyone questions you 'bout it, tell them that uhh angelina jolie does it and it's the ';new thing'; .. if you're conscious 'bout what people say, just paint your nails ..





    it goes with time eventually either way.

    try polish remover. If that does not work, do what I do, suffer. color your nails a color that will cover the dye. It usually washes off in a week.
    Nail polish remover? :/


    The only thing I can suggest is keep your nails painted with a color that wont let it show through- until the stains have grown out..
    i'd say just paint over it. multiple coats if necessary? (: but if ur a guy......then take some other persons advice cuz idk anything about hair dye. unless you dont mind having your fingernails painted. :P lol what color was it?
    I think they sell something at Sally Beauty Supply that will take the color off skin, if you have one of those near you. I'd try rubbing alcohol. :)
    Fag ash apparantly works
    MAGIC ERASER. No joke. Those things are a miracle.
    Nail polish remover or i heard olive oil works too.
    nail polish remover or alcohol
    Nail polish remover.


    If that doesn't work get a manicure with the money you saved from dying your hair at home.
    i heard vinegar might help although it may dry your nails out a bit
    Hmmmmm.......Idk try sopa and water after it starts wearing down

  • Is It Normal to Have Two Different Colored Nails?

    I remember watching the first season of Lost and the character Charlie wore a different color of nail polish on I believe his index finger and the rest was painted black. I was wondering if that's a normal trend because I've never seen that before, but it looked pretty cool. Any pictures of this would be great as well.Is It Normal to Have Two Different Colored Nails?
    i do it also. it is normal, and a cool trend. well, but if you are going to do that be careful in choosing the colors. like you choose:


    black-white,


    red-white,


    blue-white,


    blue-pink,


    purple-hot pink so on.Is It Normal to Have Two Different Colored Nails?
    I usually have black nail-polish with my little finger on my right hand painted red. Mine is something me and my best friend just always did when we were younger and we've just carried it on into adult life. His are unpainted with his left little finger pink.
    It's personal preference.

    Is it okay to have a black nail.?

    My nail turn black on my foot only one of them .Is it okay to have a black nail.?
    lol





    it's okay. it'll go away after some time (i hope. lol)





    meantime, you may want to paint your toenails. if you don't want the ';loud'; colors, try colors like opaque, pale pinks or anything pale (coz i think you're young, don't try strong colored nail polishes like the reds corporate women likes to wear). also, black nail polish is in. funky colors would be nice, especially if you wear slippers / sandals / open-toe shoes most of the time. choose the color that'll look nice basing on your skin tone, and your wardrobe :p.





    good luck, have fun ^_^Is it okay to have a black nail.?
    yes it is ok, i know someone who had a black toenail, it just means it is bruised. it will go away after a while

    You can't get these in kolkata, that is india right? You need to get a very tiny brush, like the kinds they use in rajasthani style paintings. get one of these. this is perfect for nail art. Find an art store that sells art supplies. ask an art student where to get these. you also need a special paint too tho!

    Yeah it will grow back trust me my cuz accidentally slammed my finger into a door and the nail ripped of it hurt 4 a while but grew back eventually. Didn't really take long tho, but good luck with that : ).
    Just be patient it will grow back pretty soon


    if you want it back FAST go down to your local chemist and ask if they have any nail polish that could help make it grow faster


    there should be something.....

    I went hiking last week. Now my toe nail is bruised. Will it fall off?

    I went on an 11 mile hike last week to Mt. LeConte in TN. I wore New Balance Tennis Shoes not knowing how strenuous and steep of a hike it was going to be. I kept stubbing my toe on rocks on the way down and my toe kept shoving into my shoes. Long story short, I had nail polish on until this morning, and when I took it off, my toenail is a purplish-black color. I am assuming that the color (bruising) was worse last week, but I didn't even know it was bruised cause my polish was a deep, dark red. I am worried that my nail is going to come off. Does anyone know if it will, and if it does when? How long will it take for my nail to grow back if it does? I went hiking last week. Now my toe nail is bruised. Will it fall off?
    I got bruises like that on my big toes from wearing safety boots at work. I found out the same way, by taking off dark nail polish. It scared me so bad! But, the nails never did fall off. I threw away those safety boots, gave myself regular pedicures cutting the nail as short as possible and treating it with an anti-fungal liquid, refrained from wearing nail polish or constricting shoes. The dark bruises eventually went away. The nail had turned dark purple too and it grew out. Just keep a close watch on them.I went hiking last week. Now my toe nail is bruised. Will it fall off?
    Yep this is probably the case. This happened to me when I tried going down-hill skiing for the first time. I am a cross-country sky person. Everyone told me that I would struggle when I tried down-hill skiing and they were right. I felt like I was in an Abbot %26amp; Costello movie. At one point when I was going down hill my speed picked up too quick so I tried to do a control fall and ended up with my large toe nail like the above description. Gee did it HURT! When I showed it to my friends they all told me that it would fall off and it did.
    Yes, your nail will come off. It happens to me MANY times but it grows back. It may take about 1 or 2 years to grow back all the way. Dont worry you will be fine.

    When was your last tetanus shot? Clean it out with peroxide, this kills the germs and helps healing. By all means keep it clean! Might not hurt to call your family physician.
    tetanus injections are must. and try dressing your wound it would be better if you meet a doctor ok. take care

    If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?

    Governor Palin has ';cut back'; on pork-barrel project requests, but in her two years in office, Alaska has requested nearly $750 million in special federal spending, by far the largest per-capita request in the nation. And as mayor of Wasilla, Palin hired a lobbyist and traveled to Washington annually to support earmarks for the town totaling $27 million.





    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080908/ap_o鈥?/a>





    This is like so many other Republican propaganda techniques... they focus on the fact that Palin has ';cut back'; on spending (in only the last 6 months) and completely ignore the big elephant in the room which is that she is still the most extravagant spender in the entire United States...If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?
    Palin is not the Presidential candidate and we need to remember that and keep our focus on it and not playing to her celebrity status. She fits in well with the rest of the republicans by constant lying and denial. It will be the end of any hope for our economy for years to come if they are elected.If we elect Sarah Palin, will it hammer the final nail into the coffin of ';fiscal responsibility';?
    She also found a clever way to shift the tax burden onto the poor and middle class by increasing the city sales tax including food, and cut property tax rates which mainly benefited businesses and the rich.





    This politician is vicious, much like Bush firing nonpolitical employees and loading up the govt. with loyalists, which is what they do in third world right wing govts. She didn't attack other politicians for being corrupt. She attacked them for the same reason mafias fight each other, competition.
    Short answer: yes!





    She's a hypocrite. She learned her lessons from that Alaska state senator now under investigation for accepting home improvements. He's the one who pointed Palin to a Washington lobbyist and I'm sure he whispered all the right things to say to him in her ear.





    She's as tainted as the republicans she backstabbed to get where she is today. I hope she's sent packing quickly.
    yes , then foreign powers will start dumping u.s dollars like crazy and inflation will rise big time. This little jump in u.s currency over the last 2 months is completely orchestrated to keep republicans in power .

    Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?

    My daughter wants to get them and i dont know if its ok? What do you think?Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?
    I personally think tht shes 2 young to get acrylics. Maybe she could jus get a french manicure tht makes it look lyk she has nails on.Is it appropate for a 10 year old kid to get acrylic nails?
    At Wal-Mart they have the ones you can do yourself that are ment for kids her age. They aren't really long, but they have cute designs. If you do any acrylic nails and you do them yourself and you get them on wrong or something it hurts like crazy!!!!!!!!!! If you get them done at a shop they grow out and it costs alot to get them filled plus it tears your nails up after you get them off.
    if you raise your kid to know that she can ONLY have then because of good conduct, or because you simply want to have a girls day out, maybe...but be prepared to say no to other things. once the nails come on, shes gonna want a cell phone, all the candy in teh world, heeled shoes and if you give her all that guess what? MATERIALIST...you dont want a spoiled kid. or get her her nails, or get her the shoes...but make sure you get it for her becuase YOU want her to have it, not because she asked for it then cried after you said no, so you finally gave in. thats how parents ruin their own lives....plus im 19 and have only gotten em twice in my life...they left my nails ugly, and weak...
    err no its not she's a kid let her be kid surely , they are growing up way too fast these days! omg when i was 10 i dint even know what acrylic nails were?! saying yes because she gets what she wants and all her friends are doing it isnt a good reason unless u want her to grow up vain,spoilt and doing things that arent age appropraite just because everyone else does it?! wonderful!
    I wouldn't. They are crappy. When you try to put your clothes on they will like snap off. They mess up your nails with that horrible glue! I dont think its for a girl, although they make it for girls, but I think they are for women. I only tried it once I honestly hated it!
    Eeeek! I don't think so!





    The first time I got acrylic nails was when i graduated middle school, even then I feel it was too early! Start her off when she gets to high school, that would be much more tactful.
    wAy too young


    im in gr 9 and theres only like 2 girls in my whole school that have them


    they look really cheap on young girls especially 10 year olds!!
    I don't think a 10 year old should be getting acrylic nails, that is just my personal opinion. Is she wearing makeup/dying her hair? etc...she is TEN!!
    umm only if she is responsible enough to not try to break them off because threy could damage her real nails.
    i dont think you should because they could really mess up her nails.





    just get her a manicure and get it french tipped.
    no...... don't let her get them!!!!!


    they're really painful!





    she's gonna get hurt,


    and im gonna laugh because you let her.
    You're the parent so its completely your choice. IMO though, that is too young.
    NO!!! she is too young!!!! and it will be a waste of money!!! Please don't let your child grow up too fast!!
    No, children are growing up way too fast.

    Around what price would it cost to remove fake nails at the salon?

    This depends on the removal process and the type of salon you go to.





    If you head to a cheap salon where most of the removal is just using a razor and then saoking the remainder off, expect $15-$35.





    Midrange would be soaking and buffing or using a dummel tool to take off the acrylic, expect $30-$50





    The nicest would be soaking them off in the same manner as the last, then a manicure or ';strenghtening treatment'; afterwards, I'd put this at $45-$65, but could go much higher depending on your area of the country and how posh the place is.Around what price would it cost to remove fake nails at the salon?

    When I apply a clear coat, it messes up my nail polish!!!! How am I suppose to apply a TOP COAT?

    After doing my nails, I like to apply a clear top coat, just to prevent chipping and just for the added shine. I wait a while to make sure that my previous nail polish is completely dry, but when I apply the clear coat it smudges the nail polish underneath and drives me CRAZY =P





    I have maybe 5 different clear coats and they all seem to be doing the same thing, its like they activate the polish underneath and then they smudge it...





    Any advice =DWhen I apply a clear coat, it messes up my nail polish!!!! How am I suppose to apply a TOP COAT?
    I put on the top coat a day after I paint my nails. What you said always happens to me, and I found that doing it that way works the best. This ensures your nails are perfectly dry. One time I painted my nails at around 6 and went to be at 11, and when I woke up I had stuff stuck to them. That means they still weren't dry after 5 hrs. I really suggest putting it on the next day. It won't do any harm in waiting. And you don't even have to wait that long for it to dry because it's only one coat.When I apply a clear coat, it messes up my nail polish!!!! How am I suppose to apply a TOP COAT?
    I think the problem is that your not waiting enough time to dry. Even if you smudge it with your finger it still not might be dry enough. Just wait a little longer and apply the coat.
    As a former manicurist it has to be done lightly, with a light touch, or wait until the last coat is totally dry. When I do my nails I wait til the next morning.
    Maybe the problem is that your nail polish isn't completely dry.


    So you should try waiting a little bit longer before you apply the clear coat.
    What clear top coat brand are you using? I bought a cheapie one and it totally took off the nail polish. Maybe try a different brand. Or just wait until the color completely dries.
    maybe they arent dry enough. paint your nails then put it under cold water because it helps dry quicker. then apply the clear coat.
    Maybe your nails weren't completely dry yet. Try waiting a little longer. That's really the only reason that would happen.


    Hope this helps!:)
    Ok paint your nails with one coat, then an half an hour later do the clear.
    wait 20 minutes before applying top coat
    Do it while it's partially wet. That's how you're supposed to do it.
    You haven't let your nails dry long enough. Like they have to be


    REALLY dry. It sucks, :[
    ugh, i know right???! lol. That would happen to me quite often as well. But you must really really allow it to dry.
    wait for the nail polish to dry hard
    wait for the nail polish to dry
    maybe you are putting on too thick of a coat of regular nail polish

    GUYS.. I have a nail-bitting problem.. what are ways I CAN STOP! it getting ridiculous :(?

    I myself am a nail biter as well. I have been since I was 2. Now I have quit biting them several times, but I always go right back to biting them. I have found that the thing that really works to quit is determination. You have to have it set in your mind that you are not going to bite your nails, and you won't. Then I would normally use a Sally Hansen growth nail polish. Those normally work really well to help your nails grown fast, and once you see the growth, you won't want to bite. Atleast that's what always worked for me. Good luck!!GUYS.. I have a nail-bitting problem.. what are ways I CAN STOP! it getting ridiculous :(?
    I was a biter for years until my doctor told me something.





    Biting your nails is like licking a doorknob.





    Think of all the bacteria!GUYS.. I have a nail-bitting problem.. what are ways I CAN STOP! it getting ridiculous :(?
    In the nail care section of your local drugstore, they'll have polishes that taste very bitter to curb nail biting.





    Try that, or get some hard candy to suck on to keep your mouth occupied.
    there is a chemical you can get that when put on your fingernails will make them taste really really bad. see a pharmacist or a doctor for it.
    Well I have a bitting-nail problem too so why not try to not think about not bitting your nails!
    i have that same prob! i just get fake nails then u cant bite ur nails cause they r covered up...
    a really hard habit to break..idle time, may contribute to it, long periods of driving, sitting in front of the tv, and inactivity all contribute to nail biting.





    stay active, busy hands rarely find their way to your mouth..
    they have stuff you can put on your nails is taste really gross so you won't bite them. it doesn't work for me cause i pick and pull at my nails with my fingers
    I always heard that biting your nails gives you really bad breath.





    Try getting your nails done at a salon.
    i had this problem, i used 2 do it went i gt nervous, weneva i feel like biting my nails i chew gum n after a while i c how nice my nails r looking n it put me of bitin them. u cud jus get fake nails, they look nice n u can bite u real nails so they can grow or u cud get some of that nasty tasing stuff u put on ur nails xx good luck xx
    Sally Hansen and several other nail-polish companies produce a nail polish that tastes pretty awful. There's also a product that's often available in nailpolish aisles of stores that's called NoBite. It does the same thing. Hopefully, the terrible taste will wean you off your nail biting habit. Goodluck!
    There is this stuff called ';stop the bite'; it is really nasty so when you bite your fingernails, it will make you stop. You can buy this dtuff at walmart. I promise it helps ive used it before
    well to tell you the truth you can get anal worms from bitting your nails by the way i am a doctor
    i had the same problem, this is what i did..





    i started going for regular manicures once 20-30 days.





    i always kept a fresh coat of nail polish on,


    like change every 3-4 days (buy some really cute colours)


    i always applied a strengthening nail base, like sally Hansen's maximum growth...





    having dark nail polish on kept me from putting my nails in my mouth as all the yucky flakes get into ur mouth as well.





    as i kept this up for a couple of months,


    my nails grew longer and once i saw how great they looked i stopped biting them completely.


    i think u should try it too.....
    i had that too so i got acrylics put on over them so i couldn't bite them. :-P also, they have bite-no-more polish that tastes AWFUL, you could try that too. now, i just keep them pretty and manicured so i feel bad messing them up haha.
    Just stop.
    Why do you feel like only guys can help you with this problem?
    I used to pick at my nails and keep them tore off. So then I bought a 99 cent nail file to carry with me. And anytime I felt the urge to tear at them I would whip out my trusty file. Now my nails stay long and no more bothersome snag nails. It also has a calming effect to know that I am helping my nails and keeping my fingers busy.


    Happy Happy

    well. 1st of all you cud buy some lotion stuff from the chemist. it a special stuff which you put on your nails and taste horrible so it stops you biting.





    also next time your biting take note of when you do it. if you can begin to identify when you bite your nails you can make a conscious effort to stop.





    ooo, just thought of another thing.... i find that i bite my nails when part of it is slightly longer than the rest (if that makes sense), so always keep them well filed looking nice. the nicer they are, the less likely you are to bite them.
    in the salon, i see this all the time and the best way i have found to solve this is to get fake nails whether or not its acrylics or some type of wrap.
    here's what my mom did to me and my sisters. first, she filed off the ugly edges and put some nice nail polish on them. then, she rubbed onion on the top of our nails. there's really 2 things going on there. one, when your nails look nice, you're less likely to want to ruin them, and two, if you forget and start biting, you'll get that ugly taste. My little sister still didn't stop so my mom rubbed jalapeno on her nails. just make sure its just on top otherwise it'll burn.
    Put bandaids on the tips of each finger.
    This has to be one of the hardest habits to break, but it can be done. Here are just a few ways to make it easier.





    1. Decide that you are going to stop. Pick a day and say that's it. No more nibbling. Now here are a few little ways to help.





    2. There are some bitter tasting liquids that can painted onto the nails. I don't know anyone who actually liked the taste, so this is going to slow you down and give your nails a little time to start growing.





    3. The minute you wash your hands, re-apply the liquid mentioned above. This will also focus attention on your hands and the nails which should be visible by now.





    4. Keep an emery board in every room and one in your backpack or purse. The minute you notice a snag, use the emery board and not your teeth.





    5. Buy a few bottles of pretty polish and some hand cream. You are going to keep your nails polished and your hands soft. In a weeks time, you are going to notice a difference.





    6. Once a biter, always a biter. I have stopped, but it only takes a snag for me to revert back to old habits. I have to follow these tips too.





    7. You might have been looking for a magical way to stop biting your nails, but I'm afraid that there is no such thing. You simply have to put your mind to it and stop!





    8. Will power is an amazing thing. If you want something badly enough, you can do it. If you want pretty nails, you are the only person who can stop it from happening.

    Does it matter if finger nails are fake or not?

    my hubby said he loves them,but what do others think when they find they are not real?Does it matter if finger nails are fake or not?
    i don't think so, as long as it's not obvious that they're fake. if he can't tell the difference, it shouldn't matter too much.





    funny story. back in college i used to wear fake nails, but the ones you buy and stick on with nail glue, not go to a salon for. needless to day, they don't stay on as well, and sometimes have the habit of ';snapping'; off your real nail. anyway, i was at the bar talking to this guy i really liked and moving my hands around a lot when i hit the table beside me and one flew off very obviously. it flew to the ground and we both just stared at it. he was like, ';oh, you dropped something...'; and started to go pick it up and i was like ';don't, just...don't'; haha and picked it up myself and ran away. he must have been thinking, this chick must have gross hygiene for her nail to just go flying off her finger like that. sorry for writing a novel but that's what i think of whenever i hear about fake nails.Does it matter if finger nails are fake or not?
    they dont care mine are fake i cant grow real ones they always break so i get fake ones and just keep them not over board i get short ones with a pretty color
    Personally I hate fake finger nails, I think you should just do it naturally and take the time to grow some real nails.
    there nothing wrong with fake nails


    i like them


    and if u like them that all that matters


    :)
    yes
    It doesn't matter. Life is so much more than just some fake finger nails
    fake nails are cute.
    it doesn't matter, fake nails are pretty, i personally like them much better than real nails

    what ever you're eating is making is smell bad and its turning it colors.


    im guessing you're really pushing hard when it comes out because the sharp nails is your anus stretching and tearing. you need to watch what you eat and do some more research on why your poo is the color that it is.





    i hope you feel better hun:)
    Because you are eating too many nails. Cut back a bit and you should be fine.
    I am deeply disturbed by this question...
    When you were told you need more iron, he did not mean thumbtacks.

    Is it normal for a cat to bite its nails?

    my cat always bites its nails, and some of them are jagged and uneven, is this normal?Is it normal for a cat to bite its nails?
    Sure, it's normal...you need to check to see if they need trimmed. He may be trimming them, or maybe something is missing in his diet. Another sign is if he eats grass when he goes outside...





    Some kitties just don't care for scratching posts, but you could try that, too...Is it normal for a cat to bite its nails?
    yes it's another way to help the old nail off, otherwise a scratching post or tree bark helps to get the old paw nails off.
    Only if you have a cat who is extremely nervous. They'll tend to stand on two feet and bite the nails on the two front paws while frowning. This generally creates an impression of deep thought. However, most humans ignore this because it is logically impossible and thus, what cannot be possible, our mind chooses to ignore for us.
    My female hates having her nails trimmed by me so I usually do it every month or so. In between she will try to bite them herself, I guess when she gets uncomfortable.





    I'd try to trim them or have them trimmed because cats scratch things (mine stick to their toys/posts) in order to get the hull off their claws so if they are indoors you need to do it for them or have them trimmed.
    yeah.. sometimes they do that to clean their nails.. i normally trim my cat's nails... and they still do that..
    yes it is normal he/she is just grooming thats all have a nice day.
    Yes, lots of cats do it. I trim both of my cats nails, but my male still bites his on occasion.
