they do not need to speak English to take the test.... the 1st half of the test written and it comes in many languages and the second half is actually doing nails... and you are not allowed to speak during that..... but i do know how you feel when they talk and you have no clue what they are saying.How can some nail technicians got their professional nails license when they are not even speak English?
what language are you speaking?How can some nail technicians got their professional nails license when they are not even speak English?
They give the test in their own language. They have an interpeter.
You are not even speak English either!
The tests are given in many languages....the result of not having an ';official language';.
I say to them, ';Please speak English.'; If they do not...then no tip at all. Sorry, but the Great Melting Pot is for Melting....Either join us or go back home.
Does it really matter as long as they are proficient at their job.
Oh I hate it when they talk to each other and laugh, I feel like they're talking about me or something! Freaks me out :l
huh?

How do i get my nails stronger?
my finger nails are always filimsy and break every two seconds i can never get them to grow, anny suggestions?How do i get my nails stronger?
Take GNC UltraNourishair vitamins. They really have helped with my nails!How do i get my nails stronger?
i'll be looking forward to see these answers because I have the same problem!
Take hair and nail vitamens.
Also if you put like a clear coat of nail polish on it might work.
You should either take multivitamins or eat a lot of fish for the omega 3 fatty acids . :D
Welcome to my world. :( Certain vitamins are great for your nails so take a multivitamin every day. Using any ol' clear nailpolish does NOT work - in fact, it will restrict your nails from breathing without giving benefit. My sister just introduced me to OPI's Nail Envy product. It is pricey but DEFINITELY worth it. I could feel the difference just putting it on. My nails felt stronger and it lasts a long time.
sally hansen, my great grandma has sworn by it and it's been passed down since her. it's amazing.

How can I grow my nails?
My nails are really short and i wanna grow them. Any tips???How can I grow my nails?
I know this sounds counter productive, but if you file them a bit everyday, the friction will cause your body to make them grow faster. I would also suggest that you buy a nail strengthener, so when they do grow, they won't break as easily!How can I grow my nails?
Nails are made out of keratin. I found that taking pre-natal vitamins helped me during my pregnancy. They have vitamins that say that they help, but I have not tried them. Keep them polished even if only clear, this helps me prevent chipping and peeling. Good Luck!
there are nail polishes made specifically for maximum nail growth, enhanced with vitamins, like sally hanson nail growth miracle. if you look at any drug store or walmart, they will have diff brands to choose from.
hair,skin, and nails vitamins from nutrilite they're like 15 bucks for 30 days all natural satisfaction guarantee.
do this i heard it helps if u tap your fingers on a dest or table top. it stimulates the blood in nail bed to grow.
dont cut them and keep them even if u want to grow them faster u know drink milk and water
Paint them, file them, keep them strong %26amp; you should be good.
Be patience (:
If you put them in water, the more chlorine the better!
They sell vitamins for nails at the store help them grow. Why is your name jenn o?
green tea clear nail polish it works really good for mine and u can buy it at any drugstore

Don't cut them for a while
just dont cut or bite them

How to take off solar nails?
I had never had my nails done. I've had my nails for about two weeks but at work I do alot of work with my hands so my nails are beginning to come off so I wanna go ahead and take them off. I don't wanna have to pay some one to take them off so I would appreciate it if someone would tell me how I can do it myself.How to take off solar nails?
If you can get hold of pure acetone, use that. You can either put it in 2 bowls and soak your fingers in it until it dissolves... but beware this can take some time.
Or you can soak a cotton wool ball in it for each finger and place over the nail, then secure and cover the finger tip and cotton wool ball with tin foil. this helps to keep the heat in, speeding up the process. this should only take 20 mins at the most.
If you can heat up a towel to place over your hands whilst waiting, this will help even more.How to take off solar nails?
try soaking them in acetone polish remover. it should help to soften them to remove more easily without as much damage to the natural nail
SOAK THEM IN ACETONE FOR TEN MINUTESmakeup

How do i get my nails to be white at the ends?
i already drink lots of milk but they ar clear, how do i get them white at the ends naturally?How do i get my nails to be white at the ends?
get a bowl and some of the little lemon containers. Pour the lemon in the bowl and soak your nails in it. After they have dried naturally, wash your hands and use hand cream on your hands. It worked for me.How do i get my nails to be white at the ends?
They get pretty darn white %26amp; no you don't dilute it. It may take a week or two to work. Good luck and God Bless my friend
get a french manicure
They sell a pencil at the drugstore to apply under the nail tip, about two dollars. I've used it and it last throughout the day.
French tips. It's a manicure.
make sure you clean em out good and manicure them..or if you are going for the unnatural route i would say get fakes nails or color your nails white.
i dont know...i dont think they are suppose to be naturally super white any ways...my nail tips look like a frosted clear
you dont it is impossible...go get a french manicure.
No persons nails are paper white, usually you should add water to your diet as well decrease the amount of red meat if not eliminate it. Also put fruits and veggies in your diet i would say after a month you should notice a change in the color. Your nails are a product of the things in your body, nails are just dead cells.
go get your nails a French manicure.
I have found an awesome site to get free samples. I get all sorts of new products that haven鈥檛 even hit the market yet. It is kind of like a beta testing site for new products. They test everything from food to beauty samples to video games. Here is the site.

How do I ';unstain'; my nails?
I wore a dark, cheap nail polish and I used nail polish remover to take it off, but the color ended up staining my nails. It's been a day already, and it's still stained and ugly. Is there any way I can ';unstain'; them? I washed my hands several times and I went over my nails again with the remover...How do I ';unstain'; my nails?
Try soaking in lemon juice or a little bleach mixed with water in a bowl. Always wear some kind of primer before using a dark color on your nails.

How do you stop your nails from splitting?
Eat lots of protein. Try avoid using nail polish while growing them...this will make them weak.How do you stop your nails from splitting?
know it sounds weird but i rub my cuticle oil into my nails before bed each night and it really makes a difference. It moisturises them and stops them splittingHow do you stop your nails from splitting?
Fudge, has said what i was going to say. Also wear gloves when doing the washing up.
drink milk
They need strengthening - do you eat little or no diary products? Calcium, zinc and iron are needed for good nail and hair growth. The Sally Hanson nail range at chemists have a good range of nail strengthening products.
Hi,
you probably have a lack of vitamin A, calcium and protein in your diet. You can tell with ease if you have a protein deficiency as opaque white bands appear on the nails and they become very dry, thin and brittle to touch. Having to little vitamin A and protein slows down nail growth and a shortage of calcium causes dryness and brittleness causing your nails to split.
go to ';sallys'; beauty and pick up this nair repair called ';nail Life'; I am telling you to is wonderful
nail strengthener and green veggies works best for me
Whatever you do babe never put nail hardner on it makes them too hard and thats how thet chip and snap.
I have very long nails (1'; long) and have never used nail hardner once. Vaseline hand and nail care helps I have found its the best thing and always file your nails at least once a week.
Try dipping your nails in Milk, that would really help!
-your nails is probably lacking calcium.
Do it every twice a week or after you get a nail polish (if ever your getting your nails done)
hope it will help you
Cheerio =)

How can i get my nails to grow where they aren't so brittle?
My nails bend easy and crackHow can i get my nails to grow where they aren't so brittle?
Brittle nails are often the result of a lack of calcium so dose up on yoghurt, milk and cheese.
Also try using a hand cream that will strengthen your nails as well as a nail varnish that will grow your nails and strengthen them at the same time. Sally Hansen products are fantastic they helped me when I had the exact same problem.How can i get my nails to grow where they aren't so brittle?

How can you make your nails grow?
how can you make your nails grow longer. Like what are some simple tricks of the trade. Because when i get nervous i like to bite my nails. I don't' do it as much as i used to. But once my nails start to get kinda long i get nervous and then bye bye nails. Anyone have any tips?How can you make your nails grow?
Drink lots of milk. milk makes your hair grow and your nails grow. it helps me.How can you make your nails grow?
You can't really make your nails grow any faster than what they do. Their growth patterns, strengths, shapes, etc are genetic, so what you have is probably what you are stuck with.
You can take multivitamins, and, well, stop biting them.
My nails are very thin and brittle, and always have been.
So, my solution.. fake nails.
Keep them painted that will make you not want to bite them and also prenatal vitamins make them real strong.
Nothing will help if you bite them. If you can quit, vitamin E is good and also keeping them polished makes them stronger.
Drink lots of beer. If it does not work, you won't know it, and you will forget about biting your nails.
don't bite ur nails.
Hope that helps :)makeup

Are the glue-on fake nails okay to have?
Okay, here's my dilemma.
I'm not allowed to get my nails done in a salon because I've heard that it hurts, you can rip one of the fakes off and could cause bleeding, and ruins your natural nails.
However, I've seen really cute glue-on nails in Walgreens and Claire's, so I'm wondering if they will be okay to have.
The ones Claire's has are really cute, like French tips that are hot pink with a black strip painted on the bottom.
Will they still ruin my natural nails? I've heard of some incidents happening with those, such as green mold growing under natural nails, fungus, and natural nails never growing back normally.
If I get them, I may wear them for about 1 to 2 weeks. Is it safe?
Thanks!Are the glue-on fake nails okay to have?
The glue on the cheaper nails from Claire's and drug stores is not as strong as the glue on nails you get at a salon. It is true that professionally done nails can hurt, but only if you try to rip them off instead of using acetone remover. It is also true that they do ruin your nail. After wearing the fake nails, your real nails get thing, short and brittle until they grow out a little bit. The cheap nails (depending on the brand) will stay on for about a week. If you use the kind that sticks on with little pieces of tape, they don't last as long as the kind that you stick on with liquid glue. My experience with these has been good. They don't ruin your real nails and they don't need acetone remover to come off. I have never heard of fungus growing on them, but if you don't put the nails on properly and water gets in there and it stays damp, it could be a prime growing place for mold. But like I said, I have never heard of that happening. Cheaper nails are safer and the way to go if you have never had fake nails before.
Good Luck!Are the glue-on fake nails okay to have?
well, most likely it wont last for 1 to 2 weeks. fake nails that u buy tend to all fall off very quickly. i have wanted to try them but my mom says its a waste of money
They're much cheaper than the professionally done nails. I'm a non goth/emo guy and like to wear black nail polish sometimes. I've worn glue on nails and although they pull at your real nails a bit at first you get used to it. It's recommended you wear them no more than 10 days but you can re use them if you want. The only problem is that after a couple of re uses the glue builds up on the back, you can try scraping it off. I've always worn them square the way they came in the pack but recently have filed them down to more rounded. It feels a lot more natural and better that way without the corners.
Nail polish isn't good for your nails because it restricts the breathing, so maybe you imagine how bad fake nails are for you.
If you really want fake nails, just be careful to not snag or rip them, otherwise you'll be in for a lot of pain. Also, try to keep the fake-nail episodes to a minimum. With nail polish, wear a good quality base underneath the color to prevent any yellowing of the nails, and wear no polish every so often to let your nails breathe.
no no no. don't even do it because people can totally tell that you did it yourself. If i knew you i would totally take pity and do your nails. Last year (when i had more time) i would do my nails every week and it was awesome, they were so pretty!%26gt; BUT im going to say dont even get the stupid fake do-it-yourself ones its kind of cheap lookin if you know what i mean. Good luck tho!

What's the nail gel that goes over acrylic nails called?
Is it just called nail gel? And where can I get it?
It's the nail gel that makes acrylic nails all shiny...What's the nail gel that goes over acrylic nails called?
Are you talking about the topcoat? You can use that to make your nails shiny. Or, clear nail polish will do it as well. Same thing. I'm not aware of any other gel for your nails. I agree with that other answer that said the gel was from mixing the acrylic powder with the liquid. That forms a gel. Every time I have gotten gel nails, they used the acrylic powder mixed with liquid. Thats the gel they use on you when giving you gel nails.What's the nail gel that goes over acrylic nails called?
It's Monomer and Nail acrylic powder..It's not Gel, Gel, The Monomer mixed with the Nail powder makes it into the Gel.
you can buy it from sally beauty supplies.

I want to know how often do you get your dog nails clipped and would I be cheaper buying a peticure.?
my dog is lab and shepard mixed and almost 6 months old.I want to know how often do you get your dog nails clipped and would I be cheaper buying a peticure.?
I do them every few weeks.
I wouldn't waste my money with the Peticure tool. It is just a normal dremel with a guard on it. You can go get an actual dremel tool at Target or Walmart for a lot cheaper.I want to know how often do you get your dog nails clipped and would I be cheaper buying a peticure.?
I recommend getting your dog nail ';grind'; instead of nail ';trim';, because it reduces the chance of cutting the dog's quick; which is very painful for them and then they might not want to ever get their nails done. Grinding it will also let their nails be smooth instead of sharp after its trimmed.
There are plenty of dremel you can order from $25-30 range and you should grind their nails every 2-3 weeks just to get your dog used to it.
Every couple of weeks - or whenever it sounds or looks like the nail is touching the floor. The nails should hover ABOVE the floor, but never touch.... or so my groomer says.
I use the Pedipaws (same as Peticure just different brand) and my dog seems to be fine with it (once i figured out how to get the fur away without taking too much time.) I personally find it much easier to use as you can use it more often than regular clippers (you can also round off jagged nails!)
But you HAVE to follow the instructions on how to get your dog used to it. You can't just jump right in and file away - filing is a new sensation for the dog and they need to get used to it slowly.
I clip my dog's nails about once every week and a half. It really just depends on how much time they spend outside running on a surface that helps keep them short. I wouldn't wait any longer than 2 weeks though.
I personally wouldn't pay a pet grooming place, as you need to get it done often and could cost a bit over time. Nail trimmers are usually only $5-10 at the local pet stores. Plus I find it's a good activity to spend time with your dog and a good bonding experience.
Once you've done it several times, your dog will get used to the procedure and could even enjoy it. Especially if they know they'll get a treat afterwards :)
Depending on the activity level of your dog and the rate at which the nail grows, I clip my dog's nails every week. I just do a little bit at a time since his nails are black and harder to see the quick. It is cheaper to do the clippings at home. You just need to purchase the trimmer or the tool of your choice. If you are unsure, have the vet or groomer show you once how to properly do it and with some practice, you will gain experience and confidence.
I use a nail grinder on my dog (oscar brand not peticure) and do his nails about once a week to keep from having to do a lot a once and just to smooth down any rough spots. Even if you only trim once a month at $10 a time a good nail grinder will pay for itself with in 6 months. A dremal or a professinal nail grinder will work just as well and likely be cheaper.
I have a lab also! Their nails get extremely long and fast! We are thinking about the same thing you are. And we've decided to buy a peticure because it wont hurt the dogs nerves in the nail. And even professionals can hurt your dogs nails. So the peticure is most deffinately better! And we clip our labs nails about every month or two months, depending on how long the nails are!
It depends if your dog walks on concrete on his walks. If he does than once a month. If he doesn't than twice a month.
You should just have someone do it for you because they cost $20 and you can hurt your dog if you cut too much in.
hi if you walk your dog for at least an hour a day you dont need to clip them as they wear down naturally and vets know when you dont walk your dog!
I do them every few weeks.
I wouldn't waste my money with the Peticure tool. It is just a normal dremel with a guard on it. You can go get an actual dremel tool at Target or Walmart for a lot cheaper.I want to know how often do you get your dog nails clipped and would I be cheaper buying a peticure.?
I recommend getting your dog nail ';grind'; instead of nail ';trim';, because it reduces the chance of cutting the dog's quick; which is very painful for them and then they might not want to ever get their nails done. Grinding it will also let their nails be smooth instead of sharp after its trimmed.
There are plenty of dremel you can order from $25-30 range and you should grind their nails every 2-3 weeks just to get your dog used to it.
Every couple of weeks - or whenever it sounds or looks like the nail is touching the floor. The nails should hover ABOVE the floor, but never touch.... or so my groomer says.
I use the Pedipaws (same as Peticure just different brand) and my dog seems to be fine with it (once i figured out how to get the fur away without taking too much time.) I personally find it much easier to use as you can use it more often than regular clippers (you can also round off jagged nails!)
But you HAVE to follow the instructions on how to get your dog used to it. You can't just jump right in and file away - filing is a new sensation for the dog and they need to get used to it slowly.
I clip my dog's nails about once every week and a half. It really just depends on how much time they spend outside running on a surface that helps keep them short. I wouldn't wait any longer than 2 weeks though.
I personally wouldn't pay a pet grooming place, as you need to get it done often and could cost a bit over time. Nail trimmers are usually only $5-10 at the local pet stores. Plus I find it's a good activity to spend time with your dog and a good bonding experience.
Once you've done it several times, your dog will get used to the procedure and could even enjoy it. Especially if they know they'll get a treat afterwards :)
Depending on the activity level of your dog and the rate at which the nail grows, I clip my dog's nails every week. I just do a little bit at a time since his nails are black and harder to see the quick. It is cheaper to do the clippings at home. You just need to purchase the trimmer or the tool of your choice. If you are unsure, have the vet or groomer show you once how to properly do it and with some practice, you will gain experience and confidence.
I use a nail grinder on my dog (oscar brand not peticure) and do his nails about once a week to keep from having to do a lot a once and just to smooth down any rough spots. Even if you only trim once a month at $10 a time a good nail grinder will pay for itself with in 6 months. A dremal or a professinal nail grinder will work just as well and likely be cheaper.
I have a lab also! Their nails get extremely long and fast! We are thinking about the same thing you are. And we've decided to buy a peticure because it wont hurt the dogs nerves in the nail. And even professionals can hurt your dogs nails. So the peticure is most deffinately better! And we clip our labs nails about every month or two months, depending on how long the nails are!
It depends if your dog walks on concrete on his walks. If he does than once a month. If he doesn't than twice a month.
You should just have someone do it for you because they cost $20 and you can hurt your dog if you cut too much in.

Am I really more likely to contract pinworms from biting my nails?
I have gnawed them all my life and never been infected.Am I really more likely to contract pinworms from biting my nails?
If you scratch your butt as well. YesAm I really more likely to contract pinworms from biting my nails?
yes. because the pinworms eggs are usually excreted by those who are infested with it thru excretion of fecal matter, and you know how one's poop travel and reach the soil(/ground). and if you did something by which you had contact with a soil thats infested with pinworm eggs, accidentally put your fingers (i.e. biting of ';dirty'; fingernails) then there's this big chance of you getting it. so better not bite it and just use a nail cutter.
No such animal

Do pre natal vitamins do anything besides make ur hair and nails grow?
lyk make u gain weight or idk jst nething?
im not pregnant,
i asked this ? earlier and ppl freaked
im not really concerned about weight either i jst wanna know everything it does cuz i want my hair to grow fasterDo pre natal vitamins do anything besides make ur hair and nails grow?
No one freaked out at your last question... they just answered it, lol. Like I said before, they can't make you gain weight... they are only vitamins. Vitamins don't make you gain weight. It's not going to make your hair grow faster. It could make your hair stronger and healthier though, which could mean less breakage, so it would seem like it was growing faster, but taking a regular vitamin and eating a healthy diet will do the same thing. But if you want to get pre-natals go ahead. They won't do anything bad to you. They'll only benefit you. Except, be sure to eat plenty of fiber. Sometimes the extra iron in them can constipate you.Do pre natal vitamins do anything besides make ur hair and nails grow?
Prenatal vitamins DO NOT make your hair grow faster.
People get that idea because when women are pregnant they get certain hormones that make their hair grow more than non-pregnant women. Anyone who says their hair grew more with prenatal vitamins either had a vitamin deficiency to start with or they imagined it. Its a total myth sorry.
Also prenatal vitamins aren't really good for non pregnant women. They have too much of certain vitamins/minerals for someone who isn't pregnant so its not actually very healthy to take them. Just take a regular multivitamin and eat well. They won't make you gain weight (no vitamin will) but they can cause you health issues in the long run due to the excess vitamin intake.
Ummm no at least not that ive experienced. I took prenatal vitamins before i got pregnant and it really did help my hair and nails grow faster. I did not notice any side affects other then if i did not eat it with food i would get a stomach ache.
No. They are just vitamins.makeup

How do I stop my cat from chewing his new soft nails?
I wish I could help you, but from experience my cats and I hate those things.
They are a big irrritant to the cat and it is so much easier to get the cat to allow you to clip its nails, and do that once per month, then try to force it to wear those things. Not to mention what you go through trying to get them on. No worse than learning how to clip the cat nails with a pair of clippers.
Good Luck though.How do I stop my cat from chewing his new soft nails?
there is a spray called bitter end that contains capsaicin (what makes things spicy)
however, it did not work for my cat, an excessive licker.
you can also try hot sauce, preferably really spicy
or, if that doesnt work, an E-collar.How do I stop my cat from chewing his new soft nails?
theres chew guard sprays you can buy at your vet or petmart.

How should I get my nails done for Homecoming??!?
my dress is a ligth turquoise color what should i get done to my nails i was thinking about getting tips the same color as my dress. but im not sure. pleaseeeee answer.
thanks :]How should I get my nails done for Homecoming??!?
Get a French manicure. It always is nice and always in style. Match your dress to your jewelry, not your fingernails. It might be trendy now but you will cringe when you are about 30 looking at the picture.How should I get my nails done for Homecoming??!?
I wouldn't suggest getting tips the color of your dress. On a matter of personal opinion I think it is a little tacky.
I would just go with a classic french manicure and maybe they white rhinestones set if you want to be a bit more formal
not to mention that even if by chance turquoise tips look good, you won't want them the next day. If you go for the more classic look, you can leave the manicure on no matter what you wear the next day
I think you should get the tips done to match the dress, but then have your school colors swirled on the rest of the nail...:)
