I have tried everything at home, every top-coat, clear coat etc. on my nails, and yet I never can achieve that same pretty shine and perfection that I get if I get my nails done professionally. And I don't have arcrylic nails or anything, just my regular nails. What can I do to get the pro look at home? Thanks!Why is it when you get a professional manicure your nails are sooo shiny?
It's probably a combination of technique as well as product. But I'd suggest you ask your manicurist what products (base coat, shade and top coat) she's been using for you!
Also, buy a ';buffing'; tool. You can find them at any beauty supply shop... even some drugstores. They're amazing, and will give your nails a SUPER high shine with no polish whatsoever!
I would also recommend Sally Hansen (as the poster above suggested). I use the ';MEGA SHINE'; Extended Wear Top Coat (silver bottle). It's an amazing product, gives super-shine, dries quick and lasts for days!
Good Luck!Why is it when you get a professional manicure your nails are sooo shiny?
I think they use some kind of stuff that powder, I think.
because they use all those different lotions and everything. and actually i'm not sure. it's like they do voodoo so you keep coming back. those asians.
they might look really shiny if they get you to use the ultra violet topcoat and then let your nails dry under an ultra violet light. i dont know if that makes it shinier, but it makes it last longer because it hardens the polish.
i use sally hansen topcoat and its really shiny. maybe try putting on 2 coats?
One thing that is important is to polish the nail, which needs to be free of polish, etc when you do it. This brings out the natural shine. There are utensils at the nail aisle that will polish the nail into a lovely shine.
Also, a visit to your local beauty supply store, and asking questions as to products available will allow you to purchase the same things the manicurist uses in her salon. A sale is a sale and they will be glad to help you.
Because they are PROFESSIONALS, they do that for a living. Next time you're there ask them what they are using on your nails, then maybe you can buy it.

Nails filing: How did it shine?
I have that normal emery board - the pink is the roughest surface, then white and the gray which shines the nails. I'm wondering whether the shine/glossy looking nails come naturally as a reaction of the ';gray'; part ';cleaning'; the nails surfaces or, did it come from a chemical on the ';gray'; part which transfered and coating the nails. Thank you.Nails filing: How did it shine?
I don't think there are any chemicals in that part of an emery board - I think it just very gently buffs away the surface of the nail to give it a nice sheen and polish and it brings out the natural oils in your nails which gives it that glow. You shouldn't buff too often though, as it can make the nails a little weak.

Is it true that if you bite your nails then spit them in the garden it brings good health?
any1 heard this before?Is it true that if you bite your nails then spit them in the garden it brings good health?
No, I haven't heard it before...and no, it will have zero affect on your overall health (but you will have jagged, unkept looking fingernails).Is it true that if you bite your nails then spit them in the garden it brings good health?
Biting your nails is generally bad for your nails and cuticles. Other than that, I don't think that practice will have any effect on your health at all. However, it will probably gross out anybody who sees you doing it, so it may not be good for your social life.
I used to do it thinking I'd be healthier for it but all I ended up with was a huge nail tree in my garden. No chainsaw will even scrape the surface of that bark.
i heard that walking in a circle while staring in the middle for about 8 hours a day will help both your garden and your sanity!
Nope but I do know that, scratching your bottom and biting your finger nails can give you worms.
Sure, and if you drink your own pee it is healthy too. Gandhi did it.
Wanna buy some swamp land in Florida.
Never heard of it. And no, it's not true.
Are things like that ever true? Of course not. The only thing it will give you is ugly nails...
What? No. Of course not. It's just weird and a bad habit.
health to the plants.. it sound like a superstition.. first time i heard of it.

Does anyone have a schanauzer and does it have a loose toe that looks kike just a nail that is torne off?
it is the due claw...most are born with them....for grooming reasons sch. breeders should remove them while the pup is real young....some breeds like great pryanese have a double due claws they have two on each foot...and the breed calls for them so most breeders do not remove them....Does anyone have a schanauzer and does it have a loose toe that looks kike just a nail that is torne off?
It is a dewclaw. If your dog is still a puppy and still needs to be neutered, I'd recommend having them removed when you have that done. Only because the dewclaw can get caught on things and cause damage. Other than that, there isn't anything wrong with them. I have a lab/rott mix. I didn't know what they were either and once I found out he was older and they weren't causing problems so I just left them alone.

There is a nail in my tire. should i pull it out? I'm afraid it will go flat...?
Take it to a gas station or a tire shop, they can pull the nail out and put in a plug, with a small nail puncture that's all that is needed, some places wont even charge you for it. If you pull the nail out you will have a slow leak, the wheel has to come off, the leak found again and fixed, it will cost you more.There is a nail in my tire. should i pull it out? I'm afraid it will go flat...?
leave it in and refill tire as needed for now..until u get where ur going. it is not recommended, but once home..u can put a plug in to it from your local parts store. it is highly recommended to talk to a tire shop and have then install a full patch in side the tire. ok. but the nail will u get there with out a full flat for now..PS. reduce your speed in the process.There is a nail in my tire. should i pull it out?

Leave it in there, till you to the tire shop.
The second you pill it out, the air will rush out.

With the nail, the air will only leak out SLOWLY (or not at all). But you should fix it, because it can develop and slow leak later.
Good Luck...
depending on how deep the nail went thru your tire, you are not suppose to touch it. best thing to do is to bring your car to car shop so that the technician will decide if he will take the nail or not
If you pull it out I guarantee it will go flat. Take it to a tire shop and they will plug it without even taking the tire off the car.
leave it where it is..inffact forget about it unless its near the side wall.....watch it over a few days if it doesnt go down or loose preasure forget about it...
It will go flat. Go to your nearest tire shop or buy a plug kit %26amp; plug it yerself.
well dont pull it drive it to a shop and have it fix smarter
don't pull it out, man.

Should Democrats Stop Trying to Nail the G.O.P. and Just Let It R.I.P?
I mean they're dead already. Why beat a dead horse?Should Democrats Stop Trying to Nail the G.O.P. and Just Let It R.I.P?
Because they're not dead already. They're still quite alive and well and planing a comeback. When they disband the party, they'll be dead.Should Democrats Stop Trying to Nail the G.O.P. and Just Let It R.I.P?
For all intents and purposes, my dinosaur buddy up there is correct.
The Democrats were written off for dead when they lost Congress in the early 90's. Yet here we are.
And Republicans have been attacking from the grave, to continue the metaphor. They have repeatedly brought attacks against the Democrats and Obama in particular, some true but most not. Regardless, whether the attack is true or not, it will gain hold if not fought against.
Democrats want to keep power, so they fight against...
Ok when are the parties going to stop trying to put each other down and start representing the people they are suppose to represent.
Our country is not like a team sport game where one side wins and then gets a big trophy or bragging rights, Or maybe it is and the citizens are just suppose to sit on the sidelines and cheer. Ya Rh for my side!
If the lobbyist are the ones running the politicians then the citizen is lost . Democracy is dead and we are all slaves to the government.
Guess in 2010, pre term elections will tell. Until then, I would not say R.I.P. By then , some one will be needed to step up and save the country, as it is right now, the drain is open and we are going down at a very high speed.
We are growing stronger every day your messiah is in office....we WILL take back the Congress in 2010
