something to do with calcium
Decreased calcium levels? But I don't have any, I take 1,000 mg of calcium everyday.
french manicure
I have read that it is nail trauma, and then I have read that it is a calcium deficiency.
Could be a few different things.





Nutritional, some diseases, a clogged pore above the nail.





I have lines and intentions in mine.It helped the doctor diagnose my arthritis.





Best to see a doctor and ask him.
you are possessed by the devil.
No, they are probably not air bubbles. Are you referring to the little marks that don't disappear until you cut that part of the nail off? If so, those are little nicks or chips. Nothing to worry about, it just means you knocked it into something and the (natural) enamel on your nails got chipped. This is why many people wear clear protective nail polish.
Little white marks (leukonychia) often appear after minor injuries. They may last for weeks or months and usually go away on their own.





Some considerations to take in mind regarding Leukonychia is that its presence is not a sign of a lack of vitamin or calcium in the diet, is harmless and may be caused simply from a minor injury that occurs when the nail is growing and that it is much more common on fingernails than toenails.
whenever you thump your nails on something hard, they always come up about a day later.
u need to eat more calcium...
bruses on ur nails from hitting them on something, they go away when ur nails grow
i forgot exactly which one, but ive heard that it means that there is a nutrient missing from your diet.
Just calcium deposits. Don't worry it's just when you bang them on something. It'll go away in a few days.
air bubbles
i get them too. it means you either dont have enough calcium, or too much. try to balance your calcium to get rid of them.
the little white scratches? Those are kind of like little bruises, and they're pretty common on fingernails. I've never gotten one on my toenails but I'm sure you can





If you mean those halfmoon shapes near the cutical, those are air bubbles. Weird, huh?
bruses
Not enough calcium or food poinsing
it means your life has a purpose. reach for the sun and the stars and everything sparkely and lovely.
Those happen if you smash your finger or injure it, you just have to let them grow out.
it means that you dont have enough caliuim in your diet u;ll need more milk and cheese.
I've heard calcium deficiency the most, but have also heard it could show a lack of many minerals in your diet.
Well a lot of ppl say it is calcium, but that is just a well known myth.. It really has nothing to do with calcium.. They are bruises that damage your nail.. Hitting your nails hard, will make these white markings occur.. Just wait a little bit, and they will go away. OR.. paint ur nails a cute color, and there you go! They're covered! LOL





Don't worry bout it! Its totally normal, and will go away real soon! =]
It is bruising!
