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.
its called a top coat.
you can buy it anywhere.

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.
