Every time I get my nails done I always mess them up. I can set there and wait for an hour, I use the nail enamel dryer, and they don't seem to dry. What can I do so that I don't waste my time and money???????Why does it take so long for your nails to dry when you get them done professionally?
I have been getting my nails done every two weeks for well over a year, I have only had this problem once. My nail tech uses three sometimes four coats on my nails. 2 polish, 1 top coat and sometimes 1 coat of this stuff that prevents yellowing. Maybe the polish is old or low quality my salon uses OPI its great and they have awesome colors. Maybe buy your own polish and ask them to limit it to 3 coats no more, and don't use that spray stuff just put your hands under the drying table for 15 min. or so. Good Luck.Why does it take so long for your nails to dry when you get them done professionally?
If u ask me Jody O you should buy an electric nail %26amp; toe dryer. They only cost $2.95.
Well try switching salons that you go to. The nail one I go to they might not use such a waterbassed polish so it doesnt take as long to dry. Some places also have spray to put on your nails to make them dry faster.
If you want to save money your going to have to buy th polish and do it yourself.
Because doze wittle Asian peoples use spensive polishes dat no dry so hard. You mess up nails, come back sooner. More money for me send home to China, cowgirl.

Buy some liquid calcium for nails from a beauty supply store or somewhere like walmart and use it twice a week. You should also try taking a multi-vitamin daily.

Is it indicated to trim my parakeet's nails?
I read on a site (Animal Adventure Inc.) that it is, but I was wondering that, if it really is, how should I do it? I have him for 2 and a half years and I've never done that so far.Is it indicated to trim my parakeet's nails?
For the smaller birds, if you get a perch designed to wear down the birds' nails, you wont have much of an issue. If the nails seem long, just get a nail trimmer from the pet store and trim just the tip off the nail. You will be able to see (in white nails at least) where the blood vessel is (the dark thing in the middle) and don't cut through that or your bird will bleed and can possibly bleed to death! When you go buy the trimmer, get some styptic powder so that if you accidentally do cut the vessel, you can stop the bleeding.
Another way to trim them is to go to a vet. It usually only costs about $7 to get them trimmed and you can get the wings clipped too!Is it indicated to trim my parakeet's nails?
the best way to do it is naturally with a pedi perch. one that's sandpapered. if your bird is standing flat on a table and the nails raise the foot from being completly flat then the nails need to be trimmed. otherwise your bird is fine.
Overgrown nails can be a hazard. Clip them with fingernail clippers, watching for the quick (vein) inside the nail. Since a budgie's nails are white, the vein is visible and the nail should be clipped a little bit past the vein. If the nail bleeds when it is cut, apply a little Quick Stop, a commercial remedy that will stop the bleeding. (If you don't have any, you can stick the nail into a bar of soap, apply flour or cornstarch, or light a match, blow it out and cauterize the nail on the hot head of the match.) Because the birds are so small, it's important to stop the bleeding right away.

Nails? Is it Okay to soak off your overlay get your nails cut all the way back and get a new overlay?
because Im getting this done today
and I would like to know if anyone has done this and jept them that way and then what color you would reccomemd
p.s. i have darkish skin and my fingers are skinnyNails? Is it Okay to soak off your overlay get your nails cut all the way back and get a new overlay?
Yes, that is fine to do. Some people get new sets every time they go to the salon. That looks better than getting them filled anyway. And yes, you can get gel nails, but they are more expensive. They tend to come out looking better and I don't know why that is because gel nails are basically the same exact thing as acrylic nails. I've always had powder gel used on my gel nails which is just a different type of acrylic powder and it makes a gel when its mixed with the liquid So yeah, it's OK to do that if you want to..Nails? Is it Okay to soak off your overlay get your nails cut all the way back and get a new overlay?
yes, whenever you want to get a fresh overlay they usually do soak your nails and cut off the old stuff before they do a fresh set. i would recommend getting a gel overlay, its more expensive, but it's better for your nails. i always go for a color thats a bit natural, sometimes just opting for a french tip with some shimmer on the nail.makeup

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.

Does a product exist to remove ';No more nails';?
I have two pieces of wood stuck together using no more nails, is it possible to free them, without damaging the orginal wood. It's a wooden trainset (Brio) glued to MDF.Does a product exist to remove ';No more nails';?
Sorry to say but that bond is stronger than the wood itself. Any time I have tries to separate two pieces glued together with Liquid Nails - the wood broke and no the bonding agent.
SorryDoes a product exist to remove ';No more nails';?
crowbar
Sledge Hammer and brut force
These glues usually work by chemical reaction and bonding, rather than normal glue, which just works by drying out and being a bit sticky, so I doubt there's anything you can get that'll free them.
Might be worth trying a solvent, but that might also damage paintwork (if there is any). I have to say I'd be tempted to sacrifice the MDF with a small saw to free the trainset, then just tidy up the edges..
if you are patient, slowly cut inbetween the two peices of wood with a knife. that might work. other than that i dont think there is anything out on the market. wait a minuate, they sell stuff to get construction grade glue off floors, for when us sloppy framers get glue all over, you might want to look fot some of that at your local hardware store. that might work
good luck!!
yes it is called elbow grease
I don't think there's a solvent once its set hard, check on the tube and phone the manufacturers Henkel/Unibond. Otherwise all you can do is use a Shark saw or similar very thin flexible blade and saw between the two surfaces through the adhesive, then clean it up with a plane or sander.

What causes the white spots on my puppies nails? (Similar to white spots on human fingernails after injury)?
The pups are 11 weeks old and all of them have this.What causes the white spots on my puppies nails? (Similar to white spots on human fingernails after injury)?
I can,t be 100% on this but i have had 2 rotweiler pups and 1 german shepard and both breeds had white spots on thier nails as pups Try a little calcium powder (Available at good pet Stores) around a teaspoon in food or 1/2 teaspoon in warm milk this worked for me with both breeds . So i guess im 99% sure on this! Hope this helps !!What causes the white spots on my puppies nails? (Similar to white spots on human fingernails after injury)?
calcium build up
They are just calcium deposits, it wont hurt them but i think it means they are low in calcium, you could try giving them bones to chew or raw chicken wings to build up their calcium.
its a calcium dificency i bought some calcium tablets from my pet store or get them from the vet
I'd say your puppy is low on zinc. My dog had those white spots a few months back and we asked our friend who is a vet and she said that it is because he was lacking zinc.
Since you dog is only a puppy i'd say he needs to be given more calcium and zinc because he is growing.
Lack of Calcium
Calcium build up or lack of white blood cells?

Yes, gelatin is an old-fashioned way to help nails grow. The Knox unflavored gelatin tells how on the box.Is it true that Jello/Gelatin makes your nails grow quicker?
I don't know about that but I take prenatal vitamins and my hair and nails are a lot stronger and grow faster. No I am not pregnant, but I am trying. It wouldn't hurt to try them though even if you aren't trying.

How do you draw christmas trees on your nails ?
If you don't want a professional to do it, and don't want stickers, then draw a straight line in the color you want the tree. Then slowly make lines that point at the end downward, keep them close, when you make a line, make the one below it a little longer, practice on a peice of paper first until you feel comfortable doing it yourself. if you want to add ornaments just take a few different colors, a toothpick and dot the colors on the tree with the toothpick! You have a christmas tree!How do you draw christmas trees on your nails ?
Very slowly and carefully, or have a professional do it. You can probably buy nail stickers of Christmas trees. Sounds cute!!How do you draw christmas trees on your nails ?
a peraon at a salon will do that for you.
Go to the nails shop which helps you to draw.
The way I do it is to start by painting a green triangle near the free edge of the nail and having the apex reach about half way up the nail. I continue to make smaller triangles that overlap the previous ones, add a little red pot underneath the tree, then use different colored round rhinestones as ornaments. A couple coats of top coat and all done.

What's the best way to take acrilic nails off?
It's been 2 weeks and the edges have only started to lift on a few fingers... what's the best way to go from there?What's the best way to take acrilic nails off?
The best way to take acrilic nails off is to run your fingers under hot water and the nails will easily come off. But you will need to run your fingers under the hot water for a long time. Also, there may be some glue left on your nails, so just use alchohol to get it off. Good luck!What's the best way to take acrilic nails off?
You should let them soak in water for a little while like 10 to 15 minutes in warm water. they will be easier to peal off.
soak them in acetone, not just nail polish with acetone but straight acetone (you can find it in beauty supply stores and usually comes in a jar). acetone will melt the acrylic off, it can be a bit messy but it takes the acrylic nails right off.
If you don't want to save them, then dip your fingers in nail polish remover with acetone. If you want to save them, then soak your fingers in hot water. It usually loosens up the nails to take them off with no pain.
Most nail techs just ';go at'; the acrylics with clippers and buff off the excess. I, personally, find that too painful. You can soak them off in pure acetone, using a wood pedicure stick to help loosen and remove them. Be sure to put the acetone in a glass container; it will dissolve plastic. It's also flammable, so be cautious. I'd go to a salon and have them soak them, to be on the safe side. It's messy and time consuming to do at home.
the best way to take them off it,soak your hands in acetone,but make sure you have a small towel to cover your hand while soaking it will keep the heat that helps,if you have a small desk lamp also set that above the bowl for more heat.Do not take your hands out for 30 minutes,if you keep pulling them out to check the acrylic will just harden all over again.
Dip them in acetone.

I bleed every time my boyfriend fingers me. He has clean hands and very short nails. Whats the deal?
I bleed every time my boyfriend fingers me. He always makes sure to wash his hands and he always has very short nails, so I'm not assuming its a cut or anything of the sort. I'm on Depo, so I don't even have a regular menstrual cycle. We are also not sexually active. Does anyone have a reason as to why I would bleed a good amount every time?I bleed every time my boyfriend fingers me. He has clean hands and very short nails. Whats the deal?
possibilities: 1). you hymen is not fully broken and every time he is damaging remains of hymen; 2), you have vaginal infections - check bot belowI bleed every time my boyfriend fingers me. He has clean hands and very short nails. Whats the deal?

How much do vets charge 2 cut cats nails?
Very easy to do yourself - just go to any pet store and buy the cats nail trimmers. Easy with 2 people, one to hold the cat and the other to cut. Hold the paw, push on the ';toe'; to make the nail appear. Just make sure that you only cut white, not pink. Pink will bleed %26amp; hurt, white won't (just like our nails!). It's easy to do, you don't have to do it that often, and once you get the hang of it takes almost no time at all!How much do vets charge 2 cut cats nails?
Well, I guess that it depends on where you live and what vet you are going to go to. If I were you I would look up several vets in your area and ask how much it costs. Then choose which one is cheaper and then go there.
Hope you find what you were looking for.How much do vets charge 2 cut cats nails?
groomers usually charge less but you can and should learn how to do them yourself
It depends on the clinic, and often on how difficult it is for the vet. Some do it free with an exam. Some charge 10-15 dollars. You should call your vet and ask
usually $10
If it is a fractious pet then pet may need extra sedation
for $ 30 PLUS physical exam some times it depends.
Both Petsmart and Petco charge $8.00. Vets are probably more expensive, but you might want to check around. Someone suggested learning to do it yourself. That's excellent advice because their nails grow very quickly.
Call a PetSmart grooming location. They won't charge as much as a vet does. Some have specific packages you can get. For a dog a nail trim and ear cleaning pkg. is 12.00 for instance.

What is the purpose of the two head nails -- for flooring?
They are called duplex nails. They are designed for concrete form building. They are not coated with anything so they are easily removed. The first head contacts the surface and holds the form, stake or brace. The second head is to remove the nail.What is the purpose of the two head nails -- for flooring?
GREAT ANSWER f100! The only thing you left out is that they are called duplex nails.What is the purpose of the two head nails -- for flooring?
They are used for temporary bracing.
They have 2 heads so the top head can be easily
grabbed by a claw hammer.
the double headed nail is designed to allow it to be nailed down tight for holding purposes and still easily removed.
It's primary use is for temporary bracing that will be taken off at some point.

What's the easy way to remove acrylic nails at home?
Acrylic nail removalWhat's the easy way to remove acrylic nails at home?
First of all, nail polish remover will not remove acrylic nails.
Buy pure acetone. Pour some in a GLASS bowl. If your acrylics have a gel overlay then be sure to file the nails first to break the seal of the gel. If you don't do this, no amount of soaking will touch the acrylic. Do one hand at a time. Soak the nails for about 20 minutes. Using an orangewood stick, scrape the softened acrylic from the nail. DO NOT remove the nails from the acetone. Doing so will only cause it to set up again. Soak some more and scrape some more until all the product is off the nail.
It will take time but this is the best way to remove the acrylics without huring your natural nail.What's the easy way to remove acrylic nails at home?
I HAVE THE BEST AND EASIEST WAY...Get some pure acetone. Place it on cotton balls and put them on your fingers and wrap tightly with aluminum foil for 20 minutes. DO NOT loosen the foil. Take the foil off and buff off the remaining acrylic. I did this a week ago and was amazed!
no way last time i did it it took me 3 hours i had to use a credit card and it hurt really bad but they do look preaty. try useing hot water and nail polish remover soak your nails in that.
Soak them in pure acetone for at least 10 minutes, you can buy it where you buy nail polish remover, try to take them off, if they won't come off, soak a little longer. Be patient it takes a long time and if you try to pull too soon it hurts really bad.
soak them for about 10 minutes in nail polish remover and slowly peel them off, be careful tho, u dont wanna pull your real nail off
Use Acetone nail polish remover, not Non-acetone, soak them in a small dish. This melts the acrylic much quicker. Try not to pry as you will peel layers of your real nails. Good luck!
clip the nails so it could be short near the endline of your nail, so there will be less pain when you're about to peel them off (trust me!) now, i say soak them in the nail polish remover first for about 10 minutes or more (not too long) than have a hot bowl of water ready for you to dip it in next to sooth and make the nails easier to peel off. and when you're about to peel them, i suggest you peel them from the sides,NOT the bottom or top(which is the worst) your nails will be ruin no matter what-when you peel them all off, so i suggest you get some sally hansen nail treatment that'll make your nails harder and stronger! i hope this helps! good luck and have a good day!
First cut the nail tips off and then cut lengthwise with the clippers near the tip...soak in warm water and they should peel off easier. The tops of your nails will most likely be damaged and will take some time to grow out. Keep your own nails clipped short in the meantime and keep a good clear protective coat as the nails will be weak. Good luck.

Are long nails good looking on a girl ? What's the best colour for them to be painted/polished?
I have rather long nails and they're not painted/polished. I like to keep them long and nice. :)

I want to paint them - but I don't know what/how to paint them exactly. Plain solid nails look boring with out jewels and stuff sticking on them. Any suggestions..?Are long nails good looking on a girl ? What's the best colour for them to be painted/polished?
Yes, long nails are attractive when properly cut, trimmed, and taken care of. Color depends on your skin tone. Tan skin usually looks good with pinks, reds, yellows, oranges, and other warm colors. Paler skin is best complimented with cool colors, blues, greens, purples, etc. Good luck!Are long nails good looking on a girl ? What's the best colour for them to be painted/polished?
honestly short and dark or completely nude colors are the trend right now but if you do want them long go with nude colors so they dont start to look like bad tips, and sometimes the shape can make a huge difference, filling them to be square can take them to another style!
Hmm you could do black tips and then go over them with a clear coat, I do that with mine.
I love your nails btw lol

Will my nails ever look normal again after I stopped bitting?
I have not bitten my nails for 2 months now. They are growing back but theyhave a huge white tip where the nail is seperated from the nail bed because I bit them so low. Will this fix itself over time?Will my nails ever look normal again after I stopped bitting?
yes it should...Will my nails ever look normal again after I stopped bitting?
ask for help at a nail salon
yes, they will fix themselves. i used to bite my nails too. i had to let my grow out, and then cut them back down a few times before they looked normal again, but they are ';normal'; now and they look great.
go to nail place and say you need your nails done but not a manicure.
first off, ew. 2nd, yes it should but you could try going to a nail shop if the nail is actually at the tip of your fingers yet tosee if they can speed up the procces. ( guys go to nail shops and they aren't gay! so don't be afraid to try it!)
it will if u go and fix them and do not bit ur nails if u whant them 2 look nice cuz i us 2 do that 2 thaz why okay
yes, I used to bite mine and now I just clip them. That white mark is supposed to be there. If you are talking about the moon shaped one by your cuticles, it is merely more nail growing in. It is actually a sign that you are healthy.
yes i think it should!

Can I use a regular humans nail clipper to clip my rabbits nails?
yeah i use a human nail clipper on my rabbit cause i dont want to pay for a rabbit one. it is kinda hard because rabbits back claws are much thicker than ours are. so you have to clip off a layer at a time going down. just don't go down to far or you could cut the quick. (the vein in the nail)Can I use a regular humans nail clipper to clip my rabbits nails?
i don't think thats a good idea
you should get a special nail clipper from the pet store for rabbits. and it is best if you ask a vet or someone at the pet shop to cut your little ones nails. if it bleeds it will lead to other problems...
y take risks?
=DCan I use a regular humans nail clipper to clip my rabbits nails?
yes as long as the nails of the rabbit aren't to big then your fine,I use a human nail clipper for mine and its much for gentler than a cat or dog one.thats what I think anyways
You are best getting one especially for rabbits, because our nails are thinner and weaker than rabbits so human nail clippers might not be strong enough.
yes but be very careful. theres a small vein that runs down there nail. clip to far and it will start bleeding and be open to infection.

What are the best ways to help your nails grow fast?
There are nail hardeners, like sally hansen, i think their is some diamond particles that strengthen it. basically, if you wear nail polish all the time..my expereience is that my nails get so hard i can't bend them, but they are brittle too. Putting cuticle softener and wearing a top and bottom coat of clear polish stops discoration, and on the top coat, overlap it to the top inner part of the nail, extra protection. vitamin e is 'supposed to help them grow', but so is some kinds of gelatin.. (Let's make this as complex as we can!) LOL!
My nails and hair grow faster in the summer. Also regular manicures if you can afford it, you can even take a broken nail in, and they will reattach it!
When you file your nails, go in one direction only, so you don't get snags, it will take practice to get your favourite shape(basically square, or pointed or square with rounded edges..my favourite..
Choose pretty, nail polish, there's beautiful metalics now, and flourescent if your so inclined, and then light pink or white for summer..looks great on pedicures or french..an anklet enhances your feet along with a toe ring, and on your hands, bracelets, watches, rings, and with both, use a good moisturizer frequently(carry file, moisturizer, top coat and polish for touch-ups) in your purse.
be sure to clean under your nails, as with the nails 'masked' ..enjoy!What are the best ways to help your nails grow fast?

Ive tried so many things 2 stop it but the only thing tht kind of works 4 me is putting realli bright nail varnish on so tht every time i go 2 bite my nails, i see the bright colours and become aware wt im doing.
And u cn buy nail strenghtening polish stuff 2 help them grow.What are the best ways to help your nails grow fast?

What is the best way to remove false nails?
Soak your hands in nail polish remover...that has ACETONE. The ACETONE will help to soften the nails, then you can remove them. Regular nail polish remover will not do it. However, you can find Acetone Nail Polish Remover at most drug stores, or discount stores...its cheap!What is the best way to remove false nails?
nail polish remover soak tell they come off.What is the best way to remove false nails?
Drip nail polish remover onto the edges to loosen the glue.
The best way to get rid of them is dip your fingernails in fingernail polish remover that contains acetone. If you leave them in there for a while, they will just gradually disintegrate - but if you want to pop them off - just soak them for a short while and try to pop them off with your other fingernails- the glue will be lose its strength with acetone exposure. It is good to wash your hands thoroughly after doing that though.
Watch Spaceballs
faster the better. it hurts no matter how you do it.
Regular finger nail polish remover (ACETONE) soak finger tips in it gently pull off nails.
just wait until thier ready to fall off
Soak in acetone...do NOT bite them off, they will only hurt and peel in the end.
The nail salon that you had them done at should also take them off for you for a $2 or so fee
Soak your fingers in nice warm water first, then use acetone to help melt the glue under the fingernails. Don't just pull them off with out easing them off! They will take layers off of your natural nails and will take forever to grow out!!!

Make someone else do it.
Soak them in Acetone fingernail polish remover. Try ten minutes and then work on pulling the nails off. If the nails are difficult to pull off, stop before you tear your real nail, and soak some more.

If finger nails are made of calcium does it mean if you eat lots of calcium does that mean they will grow big?
I have found out that on horses that they have calcium pockets in their hooves, and come to the conclusion that our nails are made of calcium. So if we eat or drink lost of it, does that mean our nails and toenails will become larger?If finger nails are made of calcium does it mean if you eat lots of calcium does that mean they will grow big?
no... no matter how much calcuim u consume, ur figurenail will not grow any healthier or faster, they will keep grow the same rate, but i have a method that u can use to make ur fingernail grow faster later on, file ur nails down like half a cm buff it and then pain any nailpolish that will help make nail tougher, adn wat liek a week and ur nails will be longer in a small period of time, i do it adn my nails r healthy adn they grow faster.. good luckIf finger nails are made of calcium does it mean if you eat lots of calcium does that mean they will grow big?
i really doubt it, but i bet it makes them stronger and less brittle.
No, your nails won't grow larger but grow very nice and healthy.
Eating calcium does not make your nails grow longer but it helps to make them stronger.
finger nails are made from keratin, so eat kerrots
Collagen
eat jello
it's made from hoofs
grows your hair too.
No. Fingernails are made of keratin, not calcium. If you skip calcium, you have bigger problems than fingernails.
What do you mean by Larger? As in wider and thicker until we get the size of a hoof? No.
They will become longer an stronger, however.

Anyone have a tip for growing long, healthy nails?
I've tried tons of brush-on nail strengtheners, with no success. My nails will grow long but they are soft, and the tips are either so thin that they're clear, or they are slightly yellowish. Any suggestions for this would be appreciated!Anyone have a tip for growing long, healthy nails?
I got a box of nails from the hardware store and planted them. After a week they sprouted and now I have the cutest little nail plants. The only mistake I made was I got one and a half inch nails. If you want longer ones, make sure the ones you buy are the kind used for nailing landscaping ties, they are about a foot long. You should get pretty long nails from these. They need a bigger pot though.Anyone have a tip for growing long, healthy nails?
clean them with a nail brush, and also use sally hansen products, oh and don't bite them!
yes you can get tips put on and in a bout a month or so (depending on how long it takes for ur nails to grow)they will grow long and then u take the accrilic off and get ur own nails done.
Taking Pre-natal vitamins. This helps a lot. Even if you are not planning on children right now it does not matter it will help your health, hair, and nails.
I use a vitamin called Trader Darwins Women's health, Supports nails, skin, and hair and it really works. You can get it from Trader Joes. It will not upset your stomach let some vitamins and you will see results within 1-2 weeks
I JUST KEEP MY NAILS AWAY FROM DIRT, I CLEAN THEM OFTEN SO THAT IF THEY ARE DIRTY I get the dirt out which helps them become healthy. I also get manicures often, like twice a month just to keep up on the maintenance of my nails. Hope this helps!
buy KNOX gelatin....i think you can put it in a drink or maybe in food....i knew a girl that took it all the time....its pure protein...thats what hair and nails are made of...and she had the prettiest, strongest nails and the shiniest healthiest looking hair i've ever seen.makeup

buy KNOX gelatin....i think you can put it in a drink or maybe in food....i knew a girl that took it all the time....its pure protein...thats what hair and nails are made of...and she had the prettiest, strongest nails and the shiniest healthiest looking hair i've ever seen.
What is the white markings on the finger nails mean?
Usually on the finger nailsWhat is the white markings on the finger nails mean?
Either you banged it or it's a nutritional deficiencyWhat is the white markings on the finger nails mean?
scratched your nails really deep, mixed with a couple air bubbles. It's happened to me before.
at the bottom of the finger nail there is a white line. Most ppl have it. but if it is a big line it means that you are blessed with beauty
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! =]

Which is better when installing deck: use decking nails with grooves or screw?
I use screws for everything now days, they hold better.
You will most likely have to drill pilot holes in the deck boards but not the joist, to get a good tight fit.Which is better when installing deck: use decking nails with grooves or screw?
Deck screws. I prefer the system that screws from underneath, so there's no holes in the wood.Which is better when installing deck: use decking nails with grooves or screw?
We used screws and its holding up just fine. Enjoy your deck!
Save yourself allot of time and aggravation and use ';Deck Screws';. They are weather proof and will stay in and not work out like nails. I used them in my fence and have had no problems with loose boards.
I would recommend using deck nails. They provide much more protection against pulling out.
Save your arm, use a drill and screw it.
Use coarse thread screws. They hold better than fine thread and nails. And if you ever need to replace a board for whatever reason its hella easer to back the screws out than it is to pull a ring shank nailed board.
use screws. I always grease them a little before putting them in, it makes it so much easier later when you want to change things, even years later.
We prefer screws! We have had to remove deck boards to get to our St. Bernard who climbed under the deck and got his leash caught. We have removed deck boards to get to treasures the kids have lost under there and refuse to go get and we have removed a deck board that was broken when something heavy was dropped on it. You never know when you will have to remove a board. We have also found that the screws stay tight...where nails tend to lift eventually.
Screws, just because you don't have to keep hammering them back down, and they don't hurt your feet! I have gone through a lot of socks on my deck!
Jim
I'd recommend screws in case you lose anything under the decking or for rodding drains etc if you have a drain under the decking.
Screws are better and easy to remove if you ever have a deck board get damaged.
Wood Screws are best because over the years as the wood shrinks from weather all you have to is tighten them up.

How often should I clip my cat's nails?
I'm having ';Harley the devil-cat's'; nails clipped by a groomer now, because he's just too fiesty for me. She says to come in every three weeks, but that seems a little too soon for me. Also, does the quick in cat's nails retract more and more if his nails are clipped more often (like dogs' quicks)?How often should I clip my cat's nails?
I trim my cats nail's once just about every 3 weeks. Once a month would be to long to wait because they get so sharp. I have not seen a change at all in the quicks.How often should I clip my cat's nails?
every month
I have a Bengal cat and I clip her nails every 2-3 weeks. I guess it may depend on the breed of the cat and however fast the cat's nail's grow.
Well, technically only when the cats nails look long then clip them.
I clip my cat's nails every 2-4 weeks or whenever they need it
You don't need to have your cats nails clipped honestly I never have, they shed unlike a dogs when they get too long and I don't mean the whole nail falls off- just like a snake the outside casting will shed.
You should clip your cat's toenails every six months, if they are front claws. For back claws, Do that every 5 months.
I DONT THINK CATS GET THEIR NAILS CLIPPED...I NEVER CLIP MY CATS
If you give your cat something to claw on like a scratching post or I use a turbo scratcher. It will keep its claws from growing too long.
use your common sense and own judgement to see when kitty's claws need clipping. if they are looking long and sharp again take kitty in to be clipped.
I have owned cats my entire life, and we even show them. We have never clipped their nails. If you do, they will start using your furniture to sharpen them, and then you will not be a happy pet owner. If he is a kitten, he should eventually settle down, and if not, I would get a cat dancer to wear him out. I would also invest in a tall cat perch/stand that will give him plenty of room to scratch.
i beleave the groomer knows bettr then u do,,,go in every 4 weeks then,,cats nails grows fast,,i just clipped them myself if i was you,,i do it with my cats....easy

If he is a kitten, he should eventually settle down, and if not, I would get a cat dancer to wear him out. I would also invest in a tall cat perch/stand that will give him plenty of room to scratch.
i beleave the groomer knows bettr then u do,,,go in every 4 weeks then,,cats nails grows fast,,i just clipped them myself if i was you,,i do it with my cats....easy
I trim my cats nail's once just about every 3 weeks. Once a month would be to long to wait because they get so sharp. I have not seen a change at all in the quicks.How often should I clip my cat's nails?
every month
I have a Bengal cat and I clip her nails every 2-3 weeks. I guess it may depend on the breed of the cat and however fast the cat's nail's grow.
Well, technically only when the cats nails look long then clip them.
I clip my cat's nails every 2-4 weeks or whenever they need it
You don't need to have your cats nails clipped honestly I never have, they shed unlike a dogs when they get too long and I don't mean the whole nail falls off- just like a snake the outside casting will shed.
You should clip your cat's toenails every six months, if they are front claws. For back claws, Do that every 5 months.
I DONT THINK CATS GET THEIR NAILS CLIPPED...I NEVER CLIP MY CATS
If you give your cat something to claw on like a scratching post or I use a turbo scratcher. It will keep its claws from growing too long.
use your common sense and own judgement to see when kitty's claws need clipping. if they are looking long and sharp again take kitty in to be clipped.

Are gel nails only available in french, natural, and that wicked pale pink?
I am going to my high school reunion on Friday and for the first time in my life I am getting faux nails done after much badgering from my friend. My outfit is black, shades of grey, and red so I really want Black nails with Red tips (a satanic frencg manicure? LOL) but do not want acrylics. Thus far, all I run across wth gels online is that they are natural, french, and sometimes sheer pink. Is it possible to get colors? If not all out color, can I at least get a fancy french manicure with like black %26amp; silver accents over the white?

What is the best colour to paint my nails?
It depends what skin tone you have, you don't want the colour to make your hands look too old.
Point to remember: lighter colours like baby pink will always make your nails look longer than they are and tend to make hands look younger. The darker you go the shorter your nails will seem to appear, but if you have long nails anyway then it doesn't make a difference.
Go to the below website for more tips!What is the best colour to paint my nails?
Depends...right now oranges and hot pinks are hot. But, if you work in a professional industry (like a bank, school, law firm, etc.) try light pinks and conservative colors.What is the best colour to paint my nails?
I would say it depends on your skin tone. If youre really pale, a peach or red would look really good. Pale pink and orange tend to look good on darker skin too. Hope this helped some, good luck!

Kittens nails need trimming best solution?
We have a 10 week old kitten we were given, about two weeks ago our friend who rears cats clipped her nails back for us using some special cat clipers. It is now only two weeks later and they have grown back again very sharp.
I cannot find a scratching post here where I live in Turkey and have tried several pet shops, I want to make sure they are cut correctly. The vets are the most obvious choice but would you consider cutting them yourself?Kittens nails need trimming best solution?
cats and kittens claws can be easily trimmed, even with a pair of human nail trimmers. You can easily see the quick, the pink blood supply within the nail and you do NOT want to cut close to that. You only need to trim off the little hook at the end of the claw. That is all, JUST the little hook. You can safely do this every 10 days or so. I do mine all the time. Some cats get used to it and don't mind, some always hate having their feet bothered. Ask the vet to show you how to do this next time. Good luck.Kittens nails need trimming best solution?
Hi there... trimming cat's nails isn't difficult. Additionally, younger kittens adjust to having their paws touched so trimming their nails is much easier than starting the technique with an adult cat.
Here's an instructional video on how to correctly as well as safely trim cat's nails: http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/pet/fh…
Do it yourself with toe nail clipper's. Hold the cat in your arms like a football, grab there foot and extend the nails, cut the with the clippers side was to the nail and clipp off the sharp end. When you clip sideways you can see where the quick (blood vessel) and be assured not to cut close to it. If you are still worried, go to the vet and have them do it, ask them to teach you or just watch them.
P.s. You can make your own scratch post buy attaching carpet reminisce or a rug with staple to a piece of wood. Or attaching a piece of rug to the bottom part of a wall.
You can make your own scratching post, for a start, even an old tree trunk piece will do.

i clip my cat's nails all the time. as yours is so young, it's best to start now so that she will be used to it later in life. for a growing kitten, you will need to clip them at least once a week, if not more, to keep them short and dull. as she gets older and stops growing, you won't have to clip them as often. good luck :)
Only take off the very tips! you don't want to cut the nerves! Buy Emery bords and slide them under the claws several times a day and it takes care of it. I had to, and it worked, it still does. Found in the female nail section.
The fancy filer thing on t.v. lol. For my pets i use just a pair of human nail clipers. Or for a cat you can buy cat trimmers at pet stores.
I wouldn't. My cat uses atree as a scratching post. If i had to get her nails clipped I would take her to a vet. If you cut too far down it hurts them and they will bleed.
No, I would never clip, to be honest. First of all cats naturally shed their nails in husks, and that's why they scratch posts and stuff - it helps the old ceratin fall off. Clipping causes the old husks to collect under the cuticule of the nail, and can cause /more/ scratching, because it itches. I reccommend simply taking a piece of soft wood like pine, roughly hewn and without bark, and nailing it to a solid wood baseboard - make it about two feet tall (little under a meter), and then put it in the living room or just somewhere the cat is often. Then, when you catch the kitten scratching, give him or her a good flick right on the nosepad. Mother cats train their kittens this way, and has worked well with my newest kitten, a now 5-month old male. Then carry your kitten to the new scratching post, wet him or her up holding the forepaws, and draw the claws down the wood. The cat will get the message quickly! Praise him or her while he or she is on the scratching post, and especially if he or she scratches. Be patient, because pets need repetition to learn well! my cats reacts well to a 'Nyah!' or a 'No' in a loud tone when they are doing something bad.
.. If you DO end up taking the shortcut, be careful to calm your kitten before clipping. Look at the nail carefully and cut only the tiniest bit of the tip off - there is a vein in the claw, that starts about halfway up, that will bleed and be painful if you hit it. If you're lucky the claw will be clear, and you will be able to see it. Ordinary scissors are fine, though nail clippers are best (for pets, not humans!). I still don't reccommend continuing with clipping though! For a quick solution for your cat's need to stretch her claws and scratch, I reccommend a a thick piece of cardboard, just laid on the floor - train your kitty to use it. There's no need to augment your cat's physical properties, when good training will last a lifetime! If he or she is scratching just in play or when picked up, simply set him or her down on the floor and ignore her/him. If the scratching is on purpose, like reaching out to scratch, give the gentle flick on the nose. The nose hurts when bopped! The older cats we give real hard flicks, by holding the forefinger back with the thumb, then letting go. We've trained a half-wild tom with dominant instincts who always bit or scratched without warning (but always wanted to cuddle!) into calmness and soft-pawed activity this way. It takes patience, but cats are smart! It also helps them to know you're dominant in the house, and that actually makes them feel safe. They expect teaching!
Well u can cut them by your self but be care ful how to do it\
If possible start training your cat to have her claws trimmed as a kitten. Gently stroke your cat's paws often, getting her used to having her paws held before you attempt trimming. Be sure to reward your cat with a special food treat-one that she receives only during claw trimming or some other grooming procedure-during or immediately after trimming. The best time to trim your cat's claws is when she is relaxed or sleepy. Never try to give a pedicure right after a stressful experience or an energetic round of play.
Your cat should be resting comfortably on your lap, the floor, or a table. Hold a paw in one hand and press a toe pad gently to extend the claw. Notice the pink tissue (the quick) on the inside of the claw. Avoid the quick when you trim the claw; cutting into it will cause pain and bleeding Remove the sharp tip below the quick (away from the toe), clipping about halfway between the end of the quick and the tip of claw. If your cat becomes impatient, take a break and try again later. Even if you can clip only a claw or two a day, eventually you'll complete the task. (Because cats do little damage with their rear claws and do a good job of keeping them trim themselves-by chewing them-many cat owners never clip the rear claws. Others trim their cats' rear claws three or four times a year or have them done by their veterinarian or a professional groomer.)
Many people hold the clippers at right angles to the nail, thus cutting across the nail. This tends to make the nail more subject to splitting or fraying. It is better to hold the clippers in a vertical position--that is, up and down, so that the claw is trimmed from bottom to top instead of across the nail. This position help prevent splitting.
If you accidentally clip into the quick, don't panic. The claw may bleed for a moment, but it will usually stop very quickly. Soothe your cat by speaking softly to her and stroking her head. If the bleeding hasn't stopped after a minute or so, touch a styptic pencil to the claw end or pat on styptic powder to help staunch the bleeding.
How often you need to clip your cat's claws depends somewhat on how much of the tip you remove, but usually a clipping every ten to fourteen days will suffice. If' your cat absolutely refuses to allow you to clip tier claws, get help from your veterinarian or a professional groomer

You can use your regular fingernail clippers or a pair made especially for cats—I prefer the scissor style over the guillotine style. Just make sure that they are sharp. Dull trimmers tend to crush the nail and cause pain even if you aren’t in the quick. You also need to have a small jar of blood-stopping powder on hand for the inevitable time when you cut a nail too short and it bleeds.
• Unlike a dog’s nails, a cat’s are slightly recessed. To get them out for trimming, gently squeeze the toe from top to bottom. This forces the nail out so that you can blunt the tip.
• The key is to trim off a little, just the sharp tips, often (say every 2-4 weeks), instead of trying to trim off the whole nine yards whenever you happen to notice they’re the length of swords.
• The problem is that each nail has a blood vessel inside. Along side the blood vessel runs a nerve. The trick is to trim to just beyond the blood vessel and nerve because if you nick them the cat will hiss, may bite, and will definitely bleed.
Note: Everyone hits this vein occasionally, even experienced veterinarians. So having a blood-stopping powder on hand is important.
• If your cat has light-colored nails, the blood vessel is the pink area. Black nails are harder to gauge but you can often see the blood vessel by shining a flashlight behind the nail. The key is too only trim tiny bits at a time. When your cat starts getting sensitive…STOP TRIMMING…you’re getting close to the blood vessel! If your cat has some clear and some black nails, use the average clear nail as a guide for cutting the black ones.
Note: No matter what the color of the nail, if there is any doubt, just cut back a little bit at a time.
• If you draw blood, pinch a little powder against the nail for a few seconds or dip a cotton swab in the powder and apply pressure to the end of the nail until it quits bleeding.
Cat’s nails will regrow and become sharp again in a few days. Therefore, to protect your “stuff”, it may be necessary to “nip the tips” as often as twice per week.
Make restraining your cat and trimming its nails a pleasant experience by starting handling your cat and doing the procedures, with verbal and treat rewards, from the time they’re kittens.
For older cats who haven’t been trained for nail trimming as kittens, a pedicure can be a bit more of a challenge. Choose a time when your cat is calm. Initially, only do one toe at a sitting. It may take several days before all claws get trimmed, but it’s better to go slowly rather than cause anxiety about the procedure.
If there is any doubt as to your ability to do any of the above, safely and correctly, rely on your veterinarian. Ultimately, they are the only ones who have the experience, training, and compassion to optimize your cat’s health, happiness and longevity.
And when it comes to trimming cat’s nails, they have the scars up and down their arms to prove their experience.
hope this helped u!!!!!

• If your cat has light-colored nails, the blood vessel is the pink area. Black nails are harder to gauge but you can often see the blood vessel by shining a flashlight behind the nail. The key is too only trim tiny bits at a time. When your cat starts getting sensitive…STOP TRIMMING…you’re getting close to the blood vessel! If your cat has some clear and some black nails, use the average clear nail as a guide for cutting the black ones.
Note: No matter what the color of the nail, if there is any doubt, just cut back a little bit at a time.
• If you draw blood, pinch a little powder against the nail for a few seconds or dip a cotton swab in the powder and apply pressure to the end of the nail until it quits bleeding.
Cat’s nails will regrow and become sharp again in a few days. Therefore, to protect your “stuff”, it may be necessary to “nip the tips” as often as twice per week.
Make restraining your cat and trimming its nails a pleasant experience by starting handling your cat and doing the procedures, with verbal and treat rewards, from the time they’re kittens.
For older cats who haven’t been trained for nail trimming as kittens, a pedicure can be a bit more of a challenge. Choose a time when your cat is calm. Initially, only do one toe at a sitting. It may take several days before all claws get trimmed, but it’s better to go slowly rather than cause anxiety about the procedure.
If there is any doubt as to your ability to do any of the above, safely and correctly, rely on your veterinarian. Ultimately, they are the only ones who have the experience, training, and compassion to optimize your cat’s health, happiness and longevity.
And when it comes to trimming cat’s nails, they have the scars up and down their arms to prove their experience.
hope this helped u!!!!!
Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
I already asked this in another section but i want to see what the brides out there have to say......THANKS!!!!
I have nice nails, but they are thin. I want to go get something put on them so they dont break before my wedding. What would be better, and what is the differance?
Thanks!!Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
Get gel overlays for sure! That's what I'm doing for my wedding. My nails are nice too, just typically thinner than most I guess. It looks so much more natural than acrylics!
Acrylics are completely fake tips (cut to any length) while the gel overlays just cover whatever nail you have and reinforce your natural nail to prevent against breakage. But, both are very hard on your nailbeds. Or, at least not great especially if you already have thin nails.
Good luck! Congratulations!Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
Okay, gel overlays and gel nails are different things. If you have nice long nails, then gel overlays would be a good idea. That is where they put gel on top of your real nails.
Acrylic and gel nails are almost the same thing. The only difference is that with gel nails, they put a layer of gel on top of the acrylic nails. The gel looks like clear nail polish and will make the nail very shiny. Also, the gel dries by having UV light shining on them (that's what the UV lights in the nail dryers at nail salons are for). You really only need to get gel if you work with your hands a lot and are hard on your nails.
Acrylic nails are currently more popular than gel nails, but they have been around longer so that makes sense. Acrylics can be whole or partial, used over the entire nail or simply as tips. A mixture of liquid acrylic (monomer) and polymer, which is an acrylic powder, is applied to the nail. It hardens on its own fairly quickly, usually within minutes.
There are two current types of gel nails: light cured and no-light gels. A gel nail is typically a pre-mixed polymer and monomer gel that is first applied to the nails and then cured under ultra-violet lights. Light cured are still more common, but the advantage to no-light gel nails is less time waiting in the light. There's also the added benefit of not needing that piece of equipment (the light).
No-light gel nails are cured with a special gel activator that is brushed or sprayed onto the nail. Some are cured by being dipped in plain water.
Gel and acrylic nails have similar results. They can lengthen short nails, strengthen nails, and make your hands look how you鈥檇 like them to. There are some various pros and cons that might help you decide which the right choice is for you. If gel nails, acrylic nails, and other choices are overwhelming you, then one thing you can always do is speak with a nail technician (manicurist) who can help you make a wise decision that will fit your needs.
As far as finishing touches, you can paint either type or do French tips on either. Some people think that airbrushing looks much better on gel nails because they are shinier, but when it comes to looks people vary in their tastes. You can look at photos of different types of nails at Next Nail which should give you an idea of the look of artificial nails you want.
If you鈥檙e looking for safety information about monomers, polymers, and other manicure agents then visit the Food %26amp; Drug Administration's page on nail product regulations.
Pros of Acrylic Nails
If you break an acrylic nail you can almost always fix it temporarily and rather easily yourself.
The removal process is simple and straightforward if done by a professional. The nails can be soaked rather than filed off.
Acrylics are very strong. When done correctly and good nail care is practiced, they can last a long time. They鈥檙e robust!
Pros of Gel Nails
Gel nails often look more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails.
The curing time is faster than acrylics, sometimes clocking in at just two minutes when light-curing is done.
Gel nail mixtures are odorless.
There is less filing involved during the application process.
Cons of Acrylic Nails
They can damage your real nails in a harsher manner than gel nails can.
Acrylics can look fake instead of natural and they can look even worse when done incorrectly.
It can be hard to grow out acrylic nails.
Cons of Gel Nails
They don鈥檛 last as long and are less durable than acrylic, even though they tend to cost more.
Gel nails are harder to do yourself if you like to do home manicures.
It鈥檚 been noted that nail polish won鈥檛 stick to the gel finish as well as it does to an acrylic finish.
If a gel nail breaks, you may be in for some trouble. It can sometimes be more of a shatter effect than a clean break, so self-fixing a break is not usually an option. You鈥檒l need to make an appointment right away with your manicurist. Sometimes they do break cleanly; basic nail glue could be used in that case.
Gel nails almost always need to be filed off. You can鈥檛 just soak them away.
There are so many variables when it comes to gel nails, acrylic nails, natural nails and everything in between that your best bet is always to go to a trusted tail technician. Ask your friends who they use or call the Better Business Bureau before going to a shop. Sometimes the only difference between gel and acrylic is how they鈥檝e been applied, so you want to hire a professional you can trust..

Is it true that your hair and nails still grow after you die?
if this is true how long does this growing last?Is it true that your hair and nails still grow after you die?
no i think its your skin recedingIs it true that your hair and nails still grow after you die?
You'd have to ask a dead person.
No. Your scalp and cuticles recede as the water leaves your body.
Yes.
we dont know how long this thing last, etc and we have heard yes it true from a mortician, etc.
Yes, it does, until your buddy loses proteins. weird but true.
no its just that a
person's skin recedes and decays after they dies.
I have to laugh at all the ones who try to give you scientific reasons for answering ';yes.'; Especially the protien one.
New tissue growth requires blood flow. Protein cannot get to the tissue unless it is delivered by blood. Blood flow stops when the heart stops.
Now, there is the little detail on what point do you consider death to have taken place.
Clinical death is when the person stops breathing and the heart stops. Brain death is when the brain no longer functions. Tissue death is when the individual tissue cell dies.
Clinically dead means that the person MAY still be recuisitated. (CPR, defibrilator, etc.) If a person is clinically dead long enough, brain death occurs, and rescuesitation is no longer possible. A person's body and tissues may be kept ';alive'; beyond this point via artifical means, such as with machines pumping blood and movine air in and out of the lungs.
Tissue death is going on all the time in a body. The dead tissue is removed (internally by the blood and kidneys, externally, the skin just sloughs off, a flake at a time.) These tissues are being constantly renewed, as long as the body is alive and healthy.
The body has a LOT of tissue, and all of these cells do not die at the same time. As they stop receiving blood, they die off, one cell at a time. The process takes a while, but not very long.
Certainly not long enough for new tissue to grow, such as with hair and nails. If any growth takes place, it would only be during the first few minutes after death. This growth would be much to little to even measure.
The apparent growth is due to the surrounding tissues shrinking back as the cells die and fluids dry up, exposing the hair and nail tissue that was below the surface.
No it isn't possible...
Your body basically runs on ATP to do everything. About 3-4 hours after you die all of your ATP stores have been depleted. This is why people go into rigormortis about 4 hours after death instead of immediately after death. With no ATP to use, your muscles stay contracted.
Anyways my point is that your body would be unable to produce the keratin needed for your hair to keep growing.
Of course, some catholics would argue with me since evidently some of their saints that are entombed *one of these is in puerto rico* are supposedly still growing hair and nails.. Some of them even supposedly bleed still.
So in summation, science says so. Metaphysics says yes but we can't prove it. =)
Yes it is true; it will keep growing at a slower rate until it eventually stops.
Short answer: No.
Longer answer: Skin and Nails are already dead tissue. What you are seeing is the shrinking of the underlying tissues that recede and give the appearance of growth (look up ';dessication'; which is just a fancy name for dehydration if you want to read more about it). It is this same process that causes lips and eyelids (though the eyes don't survive anyway as they are mostly water as well) to recess and show the teeth in a more pronounced state.
if you want to read more about this, one of the more popular books recently is called ';Stiff'; by Mary Roach, though others such as ';The Body Farm'; and ';Corpse'; have similar texts with a few more gruesome photos than the first book.
My text book in college was from two authors: Spitz %26amp; Fisher called ';Medicolegal investigation of death'; which is out of print now, but one of the best at covering what happens to bodies in death. Certainly not for the novice, but VERY complete in content.
Happy Researching!

How often do you clip your finger/toe nails?
I like to keep myself looking nice, so i offten clip them every week. This way they are clean and look good. Hope i could help.How often do you clip your finger/toe nails?
My finger nails on my left hand at least once a week because i need them short for guitar. My right hand less because i like longer nails, look girlier if you will. Umm my toes maybe every 2 weeks or more. My toes grow much slower than my fingers.How often do you clip your finger/toe nails?
Mine grow so d*** fast I have to clip them twice a week!
Once a month or so.
whenever they seem to be in the way
probably once every two weeks
whenever they are too long about every 1 1/2 to 2 weeks.
i get manicures once a week and they clip and shape my fingernails for me.
i get pedicures every 4 weeks (well, 3-4 weeks) and they clip and shape my little toenails then.
*shrugs shoulders*
so... what about you? lol...makeup

How often should I clip my cat's nails?
I'm having ';Harley the devil-cat's'; nails clipped by a groomer now, because he's just too fiesty for me. She says to come in every three weeks, but that seems a little too soon for me. Also, does the quick in cat's nails retract more and more if his nails are clipped more often (like dogs' quicks)?How often should I clip my cat's nails?
I trim my cats nail's once just about every 3 weeks. Once a month would be to long to wait because they get so sharp. I have not seen a change at all in the quicks.How often should I clip my cat's nails?
every month
I have a Bengal cat and I clip her nails every 2-3 weeks. I guess it may depend on the breed of the cat and however fast the cat's nail's grow.
Well, technically only when the cats nails look long then clip them.
I clip my cat's nails every 2-4 weeks or whenever they need it
You don't need to have your cats nails clipped honestly I never have, they shed unlike a dogs when they get too long and I don't mean the whole nail falls off- just like a snake the outside casting will shed.
You should clip your cat's toenails every six months, if they are front claws. For back claws, Do that every 5 months.
I DONT THINK CATS GET THEIR NAILS CLIPPED...I NEVER CLIP MY CATS
If you give your cat something to claw on like a scratching post or I use a turbo scratcher. It will keep its claws from growing too long.
use your common sense and own judgement to see when kitty's claws need clipping. if they are looking long and sharp again take kitty in to be clipped.
I have owned cats my entire life, and we even show them. We have never clipped their nails. If you do, they will start using your furniture to sharpen them, and then you will not be a happy pet owner. If he is a kitten, he should eventually settle down, and if not, I would get a cat dancer to wear him out. I would also invest in a tall cat perch/stand that will give him plenty of room to scratch.
i beleave the groomer knows bettr then u do,,,go in every 4 weeks then,,cats nails grows fast,,i just clipped them myself if i was you,,i do it with my cats....easy

Thus far, all I run across wth gels online is that they are natural, french, and sometimes sheer pink. Is it possible to get colors? If not all out color, can I at least get a fancy french manicure with like black %26amp; silver accents over the white?

What is the best colour to paint my nails?
It depends what skin tone you have, you don't want the colour to make your hands look too old.
Point to remember: lighter colours like baby pink will always make your nails look longer than they are and tend to make hands look younger. The darker you go the shorter your nails will seem to appear, but if you have long nails anyway then it doesn't make a difference.
Go to the below website for more tips!What is the best colour to paint my nails?
Depends...right now oranges and hot pinks are hot. But, if you work in a professional industry (like a bank, school, law firm, etc.) try light pinks and conservative colors.What is the best colour to paint my nails?
I would say it depends on your skin tone. If youre really pale, a peach or red would look really good. Pale pink and orange tend to look good on darker skin too. Hope this helped some, good luck!

Well it depends on your style...

But whatever floats your boat.
No, unless you are gay, all the more power to you then.
it wouldbr be as bad if they were pink and black...

I suggest not doin that and people may think you gay and stay away. but if you like it, it might be ok i guess
there's no rule that says guys can't wear nail polish

Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
I already asked this in another section but i want to see what the brides out there have to say......THANKS!!!!
I have nice nails, but they are thin. I want to go get something put on them so they dont break before my wedding. What would be better, and what is the differance?
Thanks!!Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
Get gel overlays for sure! That's what I'm doing for my wedding. My nails are nice too, just typically thinner than most I guess. It looks so much more natural than acrylics!
Acrylics are completely fake tips (cut to any length) while the gel overlays just cover whatever nail you have and reinforce your natural nail to prevent against breakage. But, both are very hard on your nailbeds. Or, at least not great especially if you already have thin nails.
Good luck! Congratulations!Whats the differance between acrylic and gel nails?
Okay, gel overlays and gel nails are different things. If you have nice long nails, then gel overlays would be a good idea. That is where they put gel on top of your real nails.
Acrylic and gel nails are almost the same thing. The only difference is that with gel nails, they put a layer of gel on top of the acrylic nails. The gel looks like clear nail polish and will make the nail very shiny. Also, the gel dries by having UV light shining on them (that's what the UV lights in the nail dryers at nail salons are for). You really only need to get gel if you work with your hands a lot and are hard on your nails.
Acrylic nails are currently more popular than gel nails, but they have been around longer so that makes sense. Acrylics can be whole or partial, used over the entire nail or simply as tips. A mixture of liquid acrylic (monomer) and polymer, which is an acrylic powder, is applied to the nail. It hardens on its own fairly quickly, usually within minutes.
There are two current types of gel nails: light cured and no-light gels. A gel nail is typically a pre-mixed polymer and monomer gel that is first applied to the nails and then cured under ultra-violet lights. Light cured are still more common, but the advantage to no-light gel nails is less time waiting in the light. There's also the added benefit of not needing that piece of equipment (the light).
No-light gel nails are cured with a special gel activator that is brushed or sprayed onto the nail. Some are cured by being dipped in plain water.
Gel and acrylic nails have similar results. They can lengthen short nails, strengthen nails, and make your hands look how you鈥檇 like them to. There are some various pros and cons that might help you decide which the right choice is for you. If gel nails, acrylic nails, and other choices are overwhelming you, then one thing you can always do is speak with a nail technician (manicurist) who can help you make a wise decision that will fit your needs.
As far as finishing touches, you can paint either type or do French tips on either. Some people think that airbrushing looks much better on gel nails because they are shinier, but when it comes to looks people vary in their tastes. You can look at photos of different types of nails at Next Nail which should give you an idea of the look of artificial nails you want.
If you鈥檙e looking for safety information about monomers, polymers, and other manicure agents then visit the Food %26amp; Drug Administration's page on nail product regulations.
Pros of Acrylic Nails
If you break an acrylic nail you can almost always fix it temporarily and rather easily yourself.
The removal process is simple and straightforward if done by a professional. The nails can be soaked rather than filed off.
Acrylics are very strong. When done correctly and good nail care is practiced, they can last a long time. They鈥檙e robust!
Pros of Gel Nails
Gel nails often look more natural and glossy than other types of cosmetic nails.
The curing time is faster than acrylics, sometimes clocking in at just two minutes when light-curing is done.
Gel nail mixtures are odorless.
There is less filing involved during the application process.
Cons of Acrylic Nails
They can damage your real nails in a harsher manner than gel nails can.
Acrylics can look fake instead of natural and they can look even worse when done incorrectly.
It can be hard to grow out acrylic nails.
Cons of Gel Nails
They don鈥檛 last as long and are less durable than acrylic, even though they tend to cost more.
Gel nails are harder to do yourself if you like to do home manicures.
It鈥檚 been noted that nail polish won鈥檛 stick to the gel finish as well as it does to an acrylic finish.
If a gel nail breaks, you may be in for some trouble. It can sometimes be more of a shatter effect than a clean break, so self-fixing a break is not usually an option. You鈥檒l need to make an appointment right away with your manicurist. Sometimes they do break cleanly; basic nail glue could be used in that case.
Gel nails almost always need to be filed off. You can鈥檛 just soak them away.
There are so many variables when it comes to gel nails, acrylic nails, natural nails and everything in between that your best bet is always to go to a trusted tail technician. Ask your friends who they use or call the Better Business Bureau before going to a shop. Sometimes the only difference between gel and acrylic is how they鈥檝e been applied, so you want to hire a professional you can trust..
