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.

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? I'm afraid it will go flat...?
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

How Do I know if i have Nail fungus or if it is psoriasis of the nails?
I have looked this up on several websites and still dont have a straight answer. Please dont send links to random websites....
I have ridges in my nails.
The tips have way more white than normal and a cloudy and thick.
The skin around the nail is peeling.
The underneath seems to have hardly any feeling in it and i can peel skin off without it hurting.
It is on BOTH my Ring and Thumb fingers only which is a weird coincidence.
MY symptoms seem to describe both psoriasis and fungus.
I just wondered if anyone knew any ways to tell the difference.
I dont have insurance and cannot go to the doctor so thats why im on here asking.
thanks!!!!!!!How Do I know if i have Nail fungus or if it is psoriasis of the nails?
From the looks of it what you have is actually nail fungus. I'm not a doctor or anything but I used to have it in my toenails and what you are describing is exactly what I had. My doctor recommended this really expensive ointment but he said it would take months to work. So I looked for homemade remedies and that didn't work out either. This website really ended up helping me. They offer a lot of really good information and solutions that work in weeks.

When you cut your nails, be SURE to cut the edges on a slant! When you cut everything straight across, the edge is like a scissor.
with super glue
when u file nails go in one direction only not back and forward
cut it i guess?

We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
Apply some flour or cornstarch and lot of pressure. You can also let him run around outside in the dirt, this will pack mud in there and stop the bleeding. I know those nails can bleed like crazy but don't worry, the toe nail is a long ways from the heart.We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
ice and a styptic (for men's shaving cuts)We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
put a small piece of cotton ball in the bleeding toenail, maybe soak it with peroxide first
what happened is you hit the quick of the dogs nail. it is no big deal just try to find some septic powder if you don't have any use flower and cornstarch just try to keep the dog out of the dirt for about an hour so it has time to seal itself before dirt gets in. it will prevent from infection! oh if it doesn't stop bleeding with in 40 minutes you need to take them in to the vet
you probally just broke a nerve on his nail but he should be fine

Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
I have a turtle and his nails are getting long, i was wondering if it is ok to cut a turtles nails?Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
i have tortoises and i trim their nails, the vets use clippers that you cut dogs nails with, if your turtles nails are too long the you can trim them back, on tortoises you can see the quick of the nail and i cut about a mm below this, if you cut the quick of the nail it will bleed, if you are not sure how to cut your turtles nails then take it to your vet and get them to show you how, this is what i did first of all, but most of the time i do not need to cut them, i have a concrete paving slab by the entrance of my tortoise hut so they walk over it to go to bed this seems to keep the nails at a nice level and i just trim them when they come out of hibernation, best of luck honey.Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
you didn't state if it was an aquatic turtle or not. But in most cases the answer would be no. I have several species of turtles ranging from aquatic to land. The aquatic turtles use there claws as part of there mating ritual and I made the mistake in trimming them and he never mated again and it's been 5 years and he was mating all the time. My vet informed that if I was concerned about the claws to put some rocks for them to climb on.and for my land turtles I use a large piece of granite or brink that is buried in the substrate so they can't dig under it. It allows them to walk across it and file there nails naturally. Hope this helps
I'm guessing that you have a slider or cooter and that it's a male. The long front claws are used during courtship or to demonstrate dominance. They are important secondary sexual characteristics to a male turtle. Let me put it this way, would you like to go to school wearing a padded bra and a miniskirt? If not, don't cut your turtle's nails.
i would think so but like any other animal i would take it to the vet or find a pet store and ask them to do it. it shouldnt cost to much and they wouldnt hurt the animal and they would know were they can and can't cut
do not cut its nails they need them for breeding purposes female turtles have short nails so you do not have them the male turtle needs them for other reasons but they are mainly used for mating

Is it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
I want to get fake nails, but I play volleyball (2 practices; 3 hours a week) and I'm not sure if getting them is worth it. I'm only going to keep them for a short time, and my friend has done it before, but I am still unsure if I should do it or not.Is it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
a hassel and definetly a PAIN if you break one off
OUCHIs it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
Now-a-days although the nails are looking Real, I personally had them for a wedding and people kept asking too see my nails, and they couldn't even tell that they were fake, I told them that they were fake and they burst out screaming things like holy $hit. ETC. But, I too play sports and even if you get shorter nails, the glue on the nails is pretty crappy and once it drys they pop off pretty easy, and playing sports with them is a huge nuisance! I personally say only do it if its for a special night or whatever, and once the night is over go home and put a lot of nail polish remover on them (this kinda shrivels them and they just disappear.) But don't even try to play sports with them, I did and one broke off and took my real nail with it. They are a MAJOR pain, and REALLY hurt when they rip out due to whatever reason, and trying to make them look real you have to put it somewhat under the skin around your nail, and it hurts SO bad, and after you get them off they have somewhat stretched the skin, and your real nails have glue on them for weeks after, and although they look good with the fake nail on, the real nail looks horrid after!
no....
It definetly isn't worth it. I used to play and every practice me or other girs with fake nails would litterally break the entire nail off trying to dig a spike or set. It will mess you up very much.
don't get them when playing v-ball, just wait til' after the season
don't do it.
fake nails look bad anyways. they're not attractive, just fake looking.

I had an ingrown toe nail and I cut it. When I press green liquid comes out. What do I do?
So I had an ingrown toe nail and I cut it. So it would not press against my skin and it did not hurt anymore. Then it got infected on the left side of the nail. I have been treating it with peroxide, neosporin, water with salt and baking soda, and band aids. Then there was some pain on the right side and I cut a little bit just a little bit their. Then after a couple of days the infection from the left side and the was no more pain there and ent to the right side. Now my toe is swollen and I cant even touch the right side. I press pus comes out. I am treating it the same way and today I started talking antibiotics. I really don't want to get the toe cut open and get the pus removed. I heard that shots in the finger hurt a lot! What should I do?!I had an ingrown toe nail and I cut it. When I press green liquid comes out. What do I do?
Yo just go to a podiatrist, Im SERIOUS! it wont hurt, they numb the hell out of it and you'll be ok. You dont want to get gangreen and get it amputated. I had one for over a year and i would cut and it would grow back, I went to a foot doctor, he took care of it and I can actually run now!

i don't knowWhat causes hang-nails and how do you cure it?
When you cut your nails, be SURE to cut the edges on a slant! When you cut everything straight across, the edge is like a scissor.
with super glue
when u file nails go in one direction only not back and forward
cut it i guess?

Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
I have a turtle and his nails are getting long, i was wondering if it is ok to cut a turtles nails?Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
i have tortoises and i trim their nails, the vets use clippers that you cut dogs nails with, if your turtles nails are too long the you can trim them back, on tortoises you can see the quick of the nail and i cut about a mm below this, if you cut the quick of the nail it will bleed, if you are not sure how to cut your turtles nails then take it to your vet and get them to show you how, this is what i did first of all, but most of the time i do not need to cut them, i have a concrete paving slab by the entrance of my tortoise hut so they walk over it to go to bed this seems to keep the nails at a nice level and i just trim them when they come out of hibernation, best of luck honey.Is it ok or safe to cut my turtles nails?
you didn't state if it was an aquatic turtle or not. But in most cases the answer would be no. I have several species of turtles ranging from aquatic to land. The aquatic turtles use there claws as part of there mating ritual and I made the mistake in trimming them and he never mated again and it's been 5 years and he was mating all the time. My vet informed that if I was concerned about the claws to put some rocks for them to climb on.and for my land turtles I use a large piece of granite or brink that is buried in the substrate so they can't dig under it. It allows them to walk across it and file there nails naturally. Hope this helps
I'm guessing that you have a slider or cooter and that it's a male. The long front claws are used during courtship or to demonstrate dominance. They are important secondary sexual characteristics to a male turtle. Let me put it this way, would you like to go to school wearing a padded bra and a miniskirt? If not, don't cut your turtle's nails.
i would think so but like any other animal i would take it to the vet or find a pet store and ask them to do it. it shouldnt cost to much and they wouldnt hurt the animal and they would know were they can and can't cut
do not cut its nails they need them for breeding purposes female turtles have short nails so you do not have them the male turtle needs them for other reasons but they are mainly used for mating

We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
Apply some flour or cornstarch and lot of pressure. You can also let him run around outside in the dirt, this will pack mud in there and stop the bleeding. I know those nails can bleed like crazy but don't worry, the toe nail is a long ways from the heart.We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
ice and a styptic (for men's shaving cuts)We cut the finger nail of the dog and its bleeding what can we put it on it thanks?
put a small piece of cotton ball in the bleeding toenail, maybe soak it with peroxide first
what happened is you hit the quick of the dogs nail. it is no big deal just try to find some septic powder if you don't have any use flower and cornstarch just try to keep the dog out of the dirt for about an hour so it has time to seal itself before dirt gets in. it will prevent from infection! oh if it doesn't stop bleeding with in 40 minutes you need to take them in to the vet
you probally just broke a nerve on his nail but he should be fine

Is it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
I want to get fake nails, but I play volleyball (2 practices; 3 hours a week) and I'm not sure if getting them is worth it. I'm only going to keep them for a short time, and my friend has done it before, but I am still unsure if I should do it or not.Is it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
a hassel and definetly a PAIN if you break one off
OUCHIs it a hassle to play volleyball with fake nails?
Now-a-days although the nails are looking Real, I personally had them for a wedding and people kept asking too see my nails, and they couldn't even tell that they were fake, I told them that they were fake and they burst out screaming things like holy $hit. ETC. But, I too play sports and even if you get shorter nails, the glue on the nails is pretty crappy and once it drys they pop off pretty easy, and playing sports with them is a huge nuisance! I personally say only do it if its for a special night or whatever, and once the night is over go home and put a lot of nail polish remover on them (this kinda shrivels them and they just disappear.) But don't even try to play sports with them, I did and one broke off and took my real nail with it. They are a MAJOR pain, and REALLY hurt when they rip out due to whatever reason, and trying to make them look real you have to put it somewhat under the skin around your nail, and it hurts SO bad, and after you get them off they have somewhat stretched the skin, and your real nails have glue on them for weeks after, and although they look good with the fake nail on, the real nail looks horrid after!
no....
It definetly isn't worth it. I used to play and every practice me or other girs with fake nails would litterally break the entire nail off trying to dig a spike or set. It will mess you up very much.
don't get them when playing v-ball, just wait til' after the season
don't do it.
fake nails look bad anyways. they're not attractive, just fake looking.cover girl
