Fingernails removed, the latest trend?

I saw several kids in the mall tonight with no fingernails, just odd looking scars where the nails had been and even saw one with bandages on all 10 fingers. What gives with this? Piercings weren't bad enough?Fingernails removed, the latest trend?
It's sort of weird goth/emo/vampire hybrid ritual the kids are into now a days. Started in LA a few years back and came here to the east coast during this past school year. Whats really gross is seeing kids do this to each other's nails chewing them and most not washing their hands after using the bathroom before.Fingernails removed, the latest trend?

Are health care professionals in your area allowed to wear acrylic fingernails?

Why have my lips and tongue turned a grey colour,also fingernails look slightly grey instead of a healthy pink

Best ides - get outside - quick. Get into some fresh air somewhere out in the countryside preferably. That happened to me once, my lips turned blue, but anyway. You are lacking oxygen if going outside doesn't help then consult you nearest doctor and get an emergency appointment!! Good Luck!!Why have my lips and tongue turned a grey colour,also fingernails look slightly grey instead of a healthy pink
you should get checked out by a doctor as soon as possible, you can be having a problem with your circulation. the only thing i can think of to suggest is to try massaging your hands, and massage down each finger (spend at least a minute on each finger) see if this helps making them look pink again, if this helps then it is from lack of circulation, thats why your nails changed color.Why have my lips and tongue turned a grey colour,also fingernails look slightly grey instead of a healthy pink
I cant give you a diagnosis but I can tell you that you should see a doctor. Grey/blueish nails could be a sign of heart or lung problems.
I think if you are turning grey you are dead. Please accept my condolences.
You should see a doctor asap! I would go to ER. I hope you do this and find out whats going on with your body. Good luck to you
if you are not up mount everest then you have got problems
What you are describing is a symptom of not getting enough oxygen. You should consult a doctor very soon
or maybe you have a sickness similar tothis lady i saw on ripley's.. she had too much zinc in her body.. ask the doctor.
For an ill patient, it could be a sign of lack of sufficient O2 in body.


But for a normal people, I think you have iron overload. (Difficult to say, without seeing actual symptoms.)


Are you pale, compared to your family or friends? if so, you have some kind of hemolysis which collect iron in your body.


if you are fit and young then, don't worry. Just drink plenty of water.


you will be OK.
You could ring NHS Direct for advice.





0845 4647
take your sun glasses of every thing should look ok then.
That seems odd. There was a woman I read about who ingested a lot of colloidal silver and she turned completely palliid grey/silver. Like a ghostly apparition. If I were you I would go and see your doctor. You may accidentally have taken in some toxic substance.
it sounds like you may be dead. check to see if you have a pulse.

  • I have questions about fingernails?

    my fingernails grow like weeds but im supposed to keep them short for orchestra. i hate clipping them and i have recently started biting them back so far that they bleed or hurt really bad. i cant grow them past my fingertips or i will get an F. what can i do. clipping them makes me cringe much like fingernails on a chalk board.I have questions about fingernails?
    Simply file them down to the desired length.I have questions about fingernails?
    talk to your teacher
    ok you should get a nail file and file them down. but dont bite them because there's bacteria under everyone's fingernails.

    Do you bite your fingernails?

    I do and I can't seem to stop.Do you bite your fingernails?
    I only do it when my wife is in the same room so it annoys her. And if I really want to get to her, I pick my toenails and dry feet skin.Do you bite your fingernails?
    Well yes. It's easier than using nail clippers.





    best wishes.
    no
    No, but LeBron James can't seem to stop either, and he seems to be just fine.
    YEA! especially when im bored or cant stop...=( but i tried putting dat icky stuff you get from drugstores so you wont bite but that didnt work...howevr everytime i want to bite my nails i either put it in my pockets or behind my back...hope that helps!
    i only bite my nails when im extemely bored. before i got my braces i always bit my nails and then once i got em i stopped. then after i got em off i started again.
    i used to have my fingers in my mouth all the time... then i quit my stressful job and started taking vitamins... all the sudden i started to calm myself and the vitamins (one/day) made my nails really strong and healthy and i stopped biting them!!!


    i was soooo addicted to it, too.


    good luck to you!


    sherri
    No, but i bite my girlfriends toe nails !
    I used to but stopped in my late twenties over 30 years ago - can't remember how BUT





    I was in a pub about 10 years ago and the lady who poured my drink obviously bit her nails.


    I asked her about it and she, like you, couldn't stop.


    I told her to cut her nails really, really short and always carry a nail file with her and every time she wanted to bite one, grind away at it with the nail file till there's nothing left to bite.


    Yes you will have very short nails for some time but they would have been short and ugly anyway.


    After some time (some say three weeks to break a habit) the need to bite your nails will dissipate.





    Anyway the girl saw the friend I was drinking with many months later - he passed on her message that she hadn't bitten her nails for months and they looked quite nice now.





    Try it out.


    It's like anything - YOU have to be ready to stop.


    Good luck. :)
    No but I crack my knuckles all the damn time. I am going to have really bad arthritis some day.
    I don't. my nails are really healthy and too hard to bite, plus they're always so pretty I'd hate to ruin them.





    I'd suggest always having pretty nailpolish or a manicure. or try one of those nailpolishes that makes nails stronger, that way you won't be able to bite them.
    Yes %26amp; I love it LOL
    I had acrylic nails put on, and maintained them for years to lose the habit of biting my nails. You put that kind of money into your nails, you don't bite em. And after a few years I had them taken off, and now grow my own very lovely nails.
    No, I have better things to do with my fingers. Try getting a manicure. Then think about how much money you'll waste if you don't break your habit.
    No, I've never done that. I've heard it's a nervous habit, so maybe you should work on being more at peace and then your nail biting will go away...

    Why do humans have fingernails?

    so we can peel things..like tape left over after taking down a poster...to scratch bug bites...to paint...Why do humans have fingernails?
    to protect nerve endings...





    throughout all of our body we have nerves. nerves allow us to feel pain, at the ends of our fingers and toes are our nerve endings. so if you were to touch an actual nerve you would feel tremendous amounts of pain, this is why we have finger and toe nails, to protect our nerve endings.





    have you ever cut your nail down too far?


    got scratched or cut under your nail?


    broken a nail?


    lost a whole nail?


    ingrown nail?





    they all hurt.





    without nails, our nerves would be exposed and the slightest things would hurt.Why do humans have fingernails?
    Fingernails and toenails corresponds to the claw, hoof, or talon of other animals. Human nails protect the tips of the toes and fingers, while fingernails help us pick up small objects and scratch ourselves.





    On the other hand, the feet of primates are capable of gripping objects, just like their hands, so their toenails have much the same function as fingernails. However, human toenails seem to be an evolutionary leftover.
    So we can scratch that itch.
    So they can scratch their a** when it itches
    to protect the tips of our fingers
    They act like little shovels when cleaning your ears with your pinkies.
    so we can scratch others

    Why should you cut fingernails?

    My older brother, who's almost in high school, HATES cutting his fingernails.





    He doesn't give us (family and friends) a reason for why he grows them so long, but he won't take our reasons for why he SHOULD. I'm pretty sure he'll injure himself somehow, and that injury be caused by his long fingernails. I'm also worried that he might be made fun of.





    Maybe there's some way to kinda scare him into cutting his fingernails? He's stubborn, but he gets a little paranoid easily. Anyone have any techniques or advice? :PWhy should you cut fingernails?
    Do it while he is SLEEPING! haha. No, but he may be made fun of in high school. If he doesn't take your advice, after a day of being taunted at high school might make him cut them himself! Let him learn his own lesson. Maybe that's what he needs. Good luck!Why should you cut fingernails?
    tell him that he can rip them out if they get cought on anything... aand you could make something up to scare him... kinda like the monster under the bed kinda thing

    ms marie is correct. It is pretty cheesy these day to match toenail and fingernail polish. You can't have totally different colors on each either. You can get away with french manicure on either hands or feet and any color your like on the other. But whatever you do, don't match fingernails and toes! What do you think...should your toenails match your fingernails (Fall 08)? I was thinking berry toes %26amp; gold n
    i think that definately you don't want your toes and fingernails to match unless its for a special occasion





    i also think that finger nailes should not be painted a darker color then your toe nails





    hehe but the berry and gold together sound nice
    actally i last read that unlatching nails and toenails are in.


    usually go lighter color on the nails and darker on the toes.for example pink for fingernails and red for toenails.
    I think you could do that. Or you could paint both berry and with a manicure design kit you could put stripes designs ect with gold. That way you would still be using both
    Im pretty sure I read in a fashion magazine that its cheesey to have your fingernails and toenails match
    I heard that you should paint your toenails a shade darker than you paint your fingernails!


    I have no idea why though!
    That sounds fine.....your feet are far away from your fingers, so it shouldnt matter if they are different colors.....i do that all the time
    They do not have to match, but one of them should be a frenchie....
    Depends on what your wearing and yes sounds good.
    yes , they have to match!
    Yah I guess. If you wear opened toe shoes?

    try lemon juice. squeeze 2 or 3 lemons into a bowl and put your fingertips in it for couple of minutes

    What kind of supplements or foods might you use to achieve healthy, stronger, and harder fingernails?

    The first answer was indeed correct. Eat jello. Lots of jello. It works.What kind of supplements or foods might you use to achieve healthy, stronger, and harder fingernails?
    calcium. milk cheese etc.What kind of supplements or foods might you use to achieve healthy, stronger, and harder fingernails?
    I think the best thing you can do to achieve stronger nails is to use a buffer at home regularly (once every 4 days or so) and then paint a clear nail strengthening varnish over the top. I think a balanced diet, low in fats and with plenty of variation helps as well. I used to have weak nails and buffing them and using the clear polish really worked. Mine are now long and really strong, people always ask how I manage to grow them. Give it a go, I used an Avon nail varnish, but this was 15 years ago that I did that and they are still strong!
    eat jello is what i always heard, u can get skin and nail vitamins and Avon sells some polish that helps.
    you need calcium and protein such as milk, beans, meat and eggs.

    If fingernails and teeth are both made out of enamal. then how come fingernails grow so fast and teeth dont?

    This has been killing me..If fingernails and teeth are both made out of enamal. then how come fingernails grow so fast and teeth dont?
    Teeth are only covered by enamel, below them is bone. And I am rather positive that nails are made from a slightly different material.





    Some animals have fast-growing teeth, e.g. rabbits. Human teeth probably probably do not grow b/c our monkey ancestors mostly ate soft fruit, which did not damage teeth, so no need to re-grow itIf fingernails and teeth are both made out of enamal. then how come fingernails grow so fast and teeth dont?

    Purple fingernails and blotchy skin?

    Im an 18 year old male who is pretty underweight. I'm about 6 feet tall and about 135 lbs. Whenever I get cold or nervous, my fingernails look purple-ish and my skin gets kind of blotchy. If I'm up moving around, they are red again, or if I'm not cold, they are fine. Or if i kind of move my hands around and rub my fingernails, they turn redish again. No injuries or anything, it's just been like that as long as i can remember.





    Is this normal?Purple fingernails and blotchy skin?
    Yes, it is normal...to a point. When your skin turns purple-ish/blue-ish, you are cyanotic. It means not enough oxygen is reaching your fingers, poor circulation...also because you are cold. If it happens frequently, this could be serious...I am only a Certified Medical Assistant, but I recommend that you see a doctor about this.Purple fingernails and blotchy skin?
    Annie C is correct but has failed to mention that since you are underweight (which concerns me) you may also be experiencing some kind of heart problem or lung problem.


    Everything returns to ';normal'; colors as you are up moving around and taking in more oxygen and your heart is pumping harder.


    I really think you should see a Dr if you aren't already as I suspect that there is something going on and I suspect you already know what it is and you need to be addressing the issue.

    Parasitic worms in humans, coming out of fingernails?

    we have a friend--he's an organic gardener.. he had been using neem oil as a pesticide on his plants. Today he rubbed some of the oil into his skin, and he was freaking out when we went over there today... he said that there were thread-lie worms emerging from his fingernails and eyes... is this possible, or.........?


    i'm thinking W..T..F...??????????????


    anyone heard of such a thing?





    he seems to think that these worms are trying to escape the neem oil. apparently he's got some medication for it now...... but seriously, any info?Parasitic worms in humans, coming out of fingernails?
    Dracunculiasis, more commonly known as Guinea worm disease (GWD) or Medina Worm, is a parasitic infection caused by the nematode, Dracunculus medinensis. The worm can be extracted the ulcers using the forceps.


    Loa loa filaria is a microscopic worm which causes the disease loa loa filariasis (or loaisis) in humans. It is found in the rainforests of central Africa. Humans contract this disease through the bite of a horse fly (Tabanus) or deerfly or mango fly (Chrysops). The disease can cause subcutaneous red itchy swellings known as Calabar swellings. The disease can be treated with the drug diethylcarbamazine (DEC).Parasitic worms in humans, coming out of fingernails?
    Not sure what happening with him. Maybe something he picked up out of the soil. One thing I know for sure, it isn't Dracunculus or Loa Loa as someone suggested.
    Yuk. You didn't actually see it thought right? It's possible, but eggs would have had to have been laid in his body somehow.
    I have never heard of anything like that before, but good luck.
    Hope, he went to the doctor

    Why do girls like to paint guys fingernails?

    My best friend (a girl) for no real reason decided to paint my nails purple and pink (I'm a guy) yesterday. Why the hell? Then again, I'm not complaining, I got to hold her hand. Also we are kind of goth so she's getting me black polish tomorow, lol.Why do girls like to paint guys fingernails?
    black nail polish on a guy is hotWhy do girls like to paint guys fingernails?
    aww thats cute xD
    ...ick!





    That is Sooooo gay.
    They want to connect with you in ways that they understand. It's the same as you wanting to take them to an action movie or something masculine. Just go with it.
    THE QUESTION SHOULD BE:





    WHY DO I LIKE TO GET MY NAILS PAINTED...EVEN THOUGH I'M A GUY?';





    IF YOU LIKE THE CHIC, JUST TELL HER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY ';NAIL SHOP'; JUST TO GET HER ATTENTION.
    women like it if a guy can be vulnerable for them or in front of them. Nail polishing is something a guy sees as very ';gay'; as you can see by some of the answers here. I really isn't but girls feel a guy is opening up and they really like her if they allow such things. Its another test.
    she is flirting with you
    They like to emasculate you...cut your balls off.
    you'll grow up eventually and realize that goth is on the inside the outside don't matter
    tell her you want to play doctor, and she is the patient.
    Some girls like to play dress up with boys. Nothing wrong with it. If you enjoy it and so does she, have fun with it. She's showing a kind of experimental nature...she sounds like a fun time.
    Black would be OK, but don't go out with the other polish on. It is a sign of affection when a girl wants to ';groom'; you.
    erm... I don't know. Maybe she's into painting in general so she finds it fun to paint ur nails as a way of expression. My boyfriend should do a happy dance knowing I don't do that to him
    if i paint a guys finger nails it's because he's gay or is emo and if it's email it's just black
    it's just fun
    Shes just being funny and trying to innocently humiliate you
    bc we like it n find it sexyyyyy

    My fingernails are long, what should I do?

    Cut them? is that a question?My fingernails are long, what should I do?
    Define long? If under 1/4 inch past the tip they are not that long. Take care of them grow them out more and use some acrylic overlay so they wont break. Keep some minding glue around in case they do break so you can safe them. Long nails are very sexy and feminine on women. Nothing worse than a women with short nasty nails.My fingernails are long, what should I do?
    you can try cutting them, or if you want, just keep them growing
    cut them? file them? paint them?
    cut them
    design them!

    My fingernails are basically peeling! help!?

    peices are coming off, and i dont know why.


    its like the tips are peeling until under the tip of my finger.





    does anyone know why its doing this?My fingernails are basically peeling! help!?
    lack of nutrition most likely.





    Are you eating properly? Getting enough vitamins?





    As a teen I went through awful depression and hardly ate. One of the many things I was treated for in the hospital was lack of nutrition. My finger nails were really weird, soft, bumpy and this due to not eating properly.My fingernails are basically peeling! help!?
    I have a question, are you filing your nails after you clip them? If you do, are you filing them in one direction? If you don't this can leave you nails with fine cracks. Try using a file block. You can get them at any beauty supply or drug store. They have four sides and goes from a fine grit to a smoothing polish. you can use them on top, but I use mine on the tips too and I have no chips or peeling after filing. And you might want to use some vitamin e oil on your nail bed and cuticles, I also put it under my nails at night.
    You have weak nails! You need nail polish pronto! Buy Hard As Acrlyics By Sally Hansen! It keep you nails from peeling and makes them stronger. (:

    https://nchowdary.qbeautyzone.com/produc鈥?/a>My fingernails are extremely brittle.. Any help?
    There is a vitamin in the pharmacy section just for hair and nails I've noticed a big difference in mine since I started taking it and it's only about $6 for a little over a months worth. Remember that the key to healthier hair, nails, and skin is from the inside not just the outside.
    getting ur nails dont isnt alot its like 10$ dollars maybe you could try that or show them ur nails at the salon and tell ask them for some advice since they seem to do nails all day long i think they'll loan you some expert advice :)
    This will sound funny, but it's totally true. Eat cheese, drink milk and chow down on lots and lots and lots of jello. Jello is what I started eating, almost 4 times a week, and only because it's an old wives tale my mom told me about. Anyway, after about 2 months, I've now got long nails that are strong.
    Eat more calcium things like cheese and milk.
    Exposure to water (frequent hand washing, doing dishes, etc.) will dry out nails and cause peeling. The water rinses away natural oils and the nail absorbs some water causing the nail layers to expand. As the water evaporates, the nail layers contract leading to peeling. (like paint exposed to the elements) and brittleness.





    My nails used to peel constantly so I stopped using a nail clipper and only use a nail file to shape and shorten them. I also started protecting my nails with thicker moisturizers.





    I read somewhere that nail clippers can cause the layers of the nail to separate and filing is the best way to go.





    I started with Revlon's disposable files made for weak nails. File in one direction only. Start on one side and file towards the middle, then go to the other side and file towards the middle of your nail. Smooth the nail into a squoval that mirrors you cuticle or the shape of the white part of your nail bed.





    Finish the edges of the nail with a hindo stone, a smooth ceramic/stone nail file or the finest grit nail file you can find. You want to make the edges really smooth.





    Revlon makes a tool that should work. It is a pink half moon shape and you can run it under/across the nail from side to middle.





    (I have an old hindo stone but haven't been able to find a replacement at a local store. The Revlon tool might be easier for you to find.)





    Also, avoid using metal nail files. I recommend using disposable nail files and changing them frequently. The fresher the grit, the less the drag which leads to tearing and peeling.





    Some people swear by glass nail files but they can shatter if dropped.





    I also use a cuticle balm or nail oil to moisturize my nails and protect them from water since I wash my hands frequently.


    (ex. Solar Oil, OPI Avoplex)





    Vit E oil, jojoba oil, Aquaphor Healing Ointment, Vaseline or plain Chapstick will work too.





    As for your dry forehead, if moisturizers (like vitamin E cream or jojoba oil) haven't worked then try 1% cortisone cream for a few days.





    You can also make a moisturizing mask with mashed avocado %26amp; a little honey. The avocado provides some oil %26amp; honey is a humectant.
    Do you have any ridges or unusual curvings of the nails? If so, I'd suspect nutritional deficiencies.... make sure to get enough calcium, iron and folic acid in your diet.


    As for the dry patch of skin..... is it flaky? Silvery in color? I'd suspect psoriasis or eczema. See your Dr for topical meds.
    otc supplement called biotin- also a multi-vitamin daily- then there is a product you apply to the nail for strengthening- its called nailtiques or you may sometimes find nailtek- it is a protein based polish- use as directed on packaging for best results.
    um idont know so what are you doing hold im going to get a cold glass of 5 alive o put some polyurthain on them so what to do a im so bored i wana go home mentally im tired i got do wash see ya.
    You can go to Rite-Aid and buy a see-through manicure bottle of NUTRA NAIL Maximum Nail Strengthener. It cured my nails and it'll cure yours. TRUST ME!!!!!!!

    Do fingernails contain genetic material?

    Do fingernails contain genetic material?Do fingernails contain genetic material?
    Yes and No.





    If you ripped out your fingernail and cleaned it, leaving only the hard stuff, it would not contain any genetic material. The hard part of the fingernail is made up of primarily proteins secreted from the cells below.





    However, the technical definition of fingernail includes the cells below the fingernail that secrete these proteins. So in that sense, the answer is yes because these cells contain DNA.Do fingernails contain genetic material?
    your fingernails contain special cells that help it grow. these contain Dna. Dna=genetic material
    Fingernails are cells and hardened protein. I assume you could get some DNA from them.
    Yes, since they are formed by your body's dead cells. %26lt;}:-})
    ya the hard part ho nail is protien karetin


    and at the root cell are present ahich contain dna!
    of course, hair and finger nails are protien which are RNA and can be converted into DNA very simply
    The nails themself are simply protien, no DNA. at the base of the nail the cells that form the new nail do have DNA.

    Kinda silly... But..Do baby's fingernails grow faster than adults ?

    Seems like I'm eternally cutting those tiny sharp pointy edges. My boyfriend has a theory that because babies are growing so fast, maybe their nails grow faster too. It seems like it anyway !Kinda silly... But..Do baby's fingernails grow faster than adults ?
    I think they do! It might just be my imagination, but it seems like I can cut my sons nails and a day later they are long again. Your boyfriend might be right, I never thought of it that way!Kinda silly... But..Do baby's fingernails grow faster than adults ?
    I cut my daughters nails about every 2-3 days! My theory is that it's from all the vitamins they are getting from the breastmilk or formula. Good luck!
    I would say yes, they are getting so many good vitamins and nutrients in breast milk and formula that helps with nail growth, like us if we eat a great diet we have good skin healthy hair and nails
    I think they do. It seems like whenever I cut Aislings nails, the next morning they are almost in need of another cut again! It's insane how often I have to cut her nails lol
    I definately agree with his theory, my son is 1 yr old... and i cut his fingernails still atleast once a week! I can't believe how fast they grow, its crazy!
    I have to cut Hurley's every other day.
    yes they do.. lol... my daughter is 22 days n we cut them 3 times already...

    How do u stop biting your fingernails?

    it depends on why you are biting them....





    if you are biting them because you like chewing on something, then try chewing on something else. toothpicks work well because they are small and you can chew them all day long...you can even get flavored ones. gum and mints will also work but will give you other issues, like tooth decay.





    if you are biting because you are trying to get rid of hangnails, then trim your nails everyday.





    if you are biting because you are nervous, try to learn some deep breathing and use it when you start to bite!





    if none of these work, then you might be biting for another reason, like vitamin deficiency...





    most likely, it is one of the other reasons and if you 'train' yourself to use another coping mechanism, then you will stop. it will take about twice as long as you've been biting them to fully be recovered, but you will see a difference as soon as you identify what's causing you to bite them.





    good luck, this is a tough one.How do u stop biting your fingernails?
    Depends on the ';why'; you do it. Absent minded habit, nervous habit, stress relief, etc? You can try one of a few things. The one that takes the most self-monitoring is to keep your nails trimmed up well and just make a mental note of when you do it, and stop it then. You can also either put a clear nail polish on your nails and hopefully the taste/texture difference will make you notice what you're doing and stop yourself. If you want to go crazy buy some of the ';bitter apple'; stuff for nail-biting or thumb-sucking and put that on your nails...You'll KNOW when you stick them in your mouth. Overall it's just basic conditioning to NOT do it.How do u stop biting your fingernails?
    I know how hard it is to stop as i have tried before. the easiest way is to either gag your mouth so you cant bite or cut off your fingers. either them or you could try that nail polish stuff that tastes like a cows *** or something.
    theres this nail stuff it's for guys and girls and you put it on your fingernails so they taste really really bad and then you'll stop biting them because of the taste!
    Keep your hands busy. If you're sitting around and you get that urge, stand up and do something.
    use the nail polish late tastes horrible. you wont want to go near you hands

    Seems like I'm eternally cutting those tiny sharp pointy edges. My boyfriend has a theory that because babies are growing so fast, maybe their nails grow faster too. It seems like it anyway !Kinda silly... But..Do baby's fingernails grow faster than adults ?
    I think they do! It might just be my imagination, but it seems like I can cut my sons nails and a day later they are long again. Your boyfriend might be right, I never thought of it that way!Kinda silly... But..Do baby's fingernails grow faster than adults ?
    I cut my daughters nails about every 2-3 days! My theory is that it's from all the vitamins they are getting from the breastmilk or formula. Good luck!
    I would say yes, they are getting so many good vitamins and nutrients in breast milk and formula that helps with nail growth, like us if we eat a great diet we have good skin healthy hair and nails
    I think they do. It seems like whenever I cut Aislings nails, the next morning they are almost in need of another cut again! It's insane how often I have to cut her nails lol
    I definately agree with his theory, my son is 1 yr old... and i cut his fingernails still atleast once a week! I can't believe how fast they grow, its crazy!
    I have to cut Hurley's every other day.
    yes they do.. lol... my daughter is 22 days n we cut them 3 times already...

    How do u stop biting your fingernails?

    it depends on why you are biting them....





    if you are biting them because you like chewing on something, then try chewing on something else. toothpicks work well because they are small and you can chew them all day long...you can even get flavored ones. gum and mints will also work but will give you other issues, like tooth decay.





    if you are biting because you are trying to get rid of hangnails, then trim your nails everyday.





    if you are biting because you are nervous, try to learn some deep breathing and use it when you start to bite!





    if none of these work, then you might be biting for another reason, like vitamin deficiency...





    most likely, it is one of the other reasons and if you 'train' yourself to use another coping mechanism, then you will stop. it will take about twice as long as you've been biting them to fully be recovered, but you will see a difference as soon as you identify what's causing you to bite them.





    good luck, this is a tough one.How do u stop biting your fingernails?
    Depends on the ';why'; you do it. Absent minded habit, nervous habit, stress relief, etc? You can try one of a few things. The one that takes the most self-monitoring is to keep your nails trimmed up well and just make a mental note of when you do it, and stop it then. You can also either put a clear nail polish on your nails and hopefully the taste/texture difference will make you notice what you're doing and stop yourself. If you want to go crazy buy some of the ';bitter apple'; stuff for nail-biting or thumb-sucking and put that on your nails...You'll KNOW when you stick them in your mouth. Overall it's just basic conditioning to NOT do it.How do u stop biting your fingernails?
    I know how hard it is to stop as i have tried before. the easiest way is to either gag your mouth so you cant bite or cut off your fingers. either them or you could try that nail polish stuff that tastes like a cows *** or something.
    theres this nail stuff it's for guys and girls and you put it on your fingernails so they taste really really bad and then you'll stop biting them because of the taste!
    Keep your hands busy. If you're sitting around and you get that urge, stand up and do something.
    use the nail polish late tastes horrible. you wont want to go near you hands

    Why are there lines on my fingernails?

    There are different types of lines and different reasons for them. Since you didn't show a photo of your nails, you can match your up with the images on a google search and learn more. Sometimes caused by nutritional deficiency, sometimes just aging, sometimes with a systemic illness.

    If the lines on your fingernails are white, it means that you are not consuming enough zinc. Its not serious, but zinc vitamins would easily get rid of the lines. Don't worry about it, 1 week to 2 weeks should get rid of them with vitamins :)Why are there lines on my fingernails?
    I have lines 2 , that mean that you don't drink a lot of milk , your body need Calcium , so drinking milk every day should do it and these lines with fade ! =D
    If there white.....its normal.








    Answer mine?


    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
    If they are white, it's really normal. That's just from banging you nail on something. It's like a bruise. Don't worry about it.
    the little white line or white dots on the nail of your body usually indicates zinc deficiency.
    most likely from uneven layers of the fingernail, file till its smooth

    Just started Stopping Biting my Fingernails and...?

    Just 2 days ago i stopped biting ny nails- and though its really hard i have hardly touched them. But now several of them are dirty and have much on them and it looks horrible! Because i have bitten them all my life, they've been clean. Nothing can fit under them so how can i get the dirt out? Thanks.Just started Stopping Biting my Fingernails and...?
    Just wash your hands with soap and water and the dirt should come out of them. if that doesn't work, on nail clippers there is usually an attachment on it to put under your nails to get the dirt out of them. Also, a tip to keep yourself from biting them is to paint your nails and you won't wanna bite them cause you won't wanna ruin the nail polish ;)Just started Stopping Biting my Fingernails and...?
    Cut your finger nails really short and then use clear nail polish which will stop you from wanting to bite them!
    Some nail clippers have a part that folds out, this is used to scrape dirt out from under them.





    Other than that a pin (sewing one) or a toothpick
    Watch your hands with soap and water and if you have a nail brush just try and get one of the bristles since they're so thin under the nail to clean it. I had the same problem when I stopped biting my nails
    Just wash them. If you have a quality nail clipper, some of them come with attachments to get stuff out from under your nails. But be careful with them, don't dig into your nail bed, it'll hurt like crap.

    What do white stripes on fingernails mean?

    zinc deficiencyWhat do white stripes on fingernails mean?
    If you mean the little marks that are really white, apparently it's from lack of calcium. That's all I know about it though!What do white stripes on fingernails mean?
    I am not going to say it does not have something to do with a vit. deficiency but in my particular case I know I have never had a Zinc, Calcium or any other Vit. deficiency (NEVER).


    I have been told that the 'white spots' under the nails come as a result of 'emotional uphevals' in ones' life ... and I have had a few of those especially through childhood and adolescence. Those are the years I remember getting those 'white spots'!
    Are you talking about the little ';moons'; at the base of your nails? Everyone has some to some degree - it's inherited.





    If you are talking about ones going longways in the nail - it can be a sign of vitamin deficiency. Take a multivitamin, but it won't help with what you already have showing. And since it can take a long time for your nails to grow out, it will be a while ...





    If it worries you, see a doctor (or a manicurist - they might know!) :-)
    you have a mineral deficiency.
    it means that she's a player
    You're not getting enough calcium in your diet.

    Do u like your fingernails short or long?

    Since I play violin, piano, and cello, I have to keep my nails short. However, I like them better that way in that I never have to worry about them breaking badly, nor do I accidentally scratch people, haha. Long nails also get dirty a lot faster and it is harder to do things with your hands. If my nails get too long, I can't stand them!Do u like your fingernails short or long?
    i like my fingernails long.i have long fingers,and i just like the way it looks.then if you really know how to do nails,you dont have to spend a million dollars (just beinq sarcastic) getting them done.and it will look nice.when fingernails are really chopped off,for females,it kind of looks nasty.short %26amp;%26amp; chopped off are a difference,but i prefer my nails lonqDo u like your fingernails short or long?
    I like them long..that way when i put nail polish on they will look cute..i have some white paint and I always put then on the tips so it looks like a french tip but more natural cause it is my own nail

    not too short


    but not too long


    long nails are creepy


    and dont look attractive at all.

    I've found 3 ticks on my cat over 4 days, I pulled them off with my fingernails....?

    ....but where the ticks were my cats skin has swollen into small lumps? Is this normal?


    Thanks.I've found 3 ticks on my cat over 4 days, I pulled them off with my fingernails....?
    You need to twist them out but i am not sure if it's clockwise or anti clockwise but it must be done the correct way.I've found 3 ticks on my cat over 4 days, I pulled them off with my fingernails....?
    You can't just pull them off. You tore their heads off and they are still in your cats body and can cause infection. You need to get a match light it and blow it out. While it is still hot put it to the ticks abdomen and the hot match will cause him to pull his head out then you can remove the tick. You need to take your cat to the vet to have the heads removed.





    pj
    It sounds as though you pulled the body off but left the head. It is not adviseable to put or burn ticks off. I would take it to the vet to get them removed and in future treat your cat with frontline regularly (which you should already be doing anyway!)
    You shouldn't pull off ticks...parts of them can get stuck in the skin.





    Your cat needs to go to a vet to make sure it doesn't get infected. Get it there asap.


    Second, you need to put your cat on a flea/tick prevention. I recommend advantage or revolution. You'll need a vet's prescription for them.
    If you pulled them off with your nails, you probably left the head inside the cats skin. This could become infected. Next time cover the tick in vaseline, because it breathes through its skin, so this will stop it breathing and make it fall out.
    Well, usually your suppose to use tweezers to remove the head of the tick. When you pull off the body and not the head it regurgitates and creates the bumps. I'm pretty sure your cat should be fine as long as they weren't deer ticks.
    yes it is perfectly normal and to make the swelling go down go to your local pet smart and talk to the workers and they can give you some meds for it and the can give you some thing for ticks
    do you know if you got the entire tick? next time take a pair of plyers or old tweezers and grab the tick at the base and twist and pull them pop or burn the tick. get the cat flea and tick med. if you have ticks they will only get worse since its gonna get hotter.
    you need to burn them and they unbury their selves. use tweezers and hold them in fire for a min then grab them and hold the hot tweezers on it before you pull it off .. good luck i had a kitten 6 years ago and when we got it it was outside and had them bad..
    If you can't afford to go to the vet, just call one. I'm sure they will tell you over the phone. You should order Advantage or Frontline. That stuff is the best. My dog stopped scratching within a day when I put Frontline on her.
    yeah because the ticks were sucking the blood in that area.


    so yeah its ok for it to be a bit swollen.
    You need to make sure you're pulling the head out. Then either flush them or burn them.
    if you pull them off they poison the cat you have to get proper treatment for them
    you should burn them first, too





    *the ticks, not the cat





    **unless you want to
    ewwwwwww next time dont touch them take your cat to a vet.
    thats because ur pulling them off wrong, u have to twist them off with tweasers
    you probably left the ticks mouth in there. Michelle
    of course it isnt take ur cat to the vet
    no
    go to a vet :S it's worth it, it is your cat :(

    White spots on my fingernails?

    there are white spots on my fingernails.Not all of them, just some.They've been there a while but I haven't a clue what they are.Can anyone help?White spots on my fingernails?
    Everybody says this is a lack of calcium but it is not,it is due to damage to your nail,you will have knocked them at some point and it's this that leaves white spots.White spots on my fingernails?
    There are many myths surrounding those mysterious white spots on fingernails that occasionally show up, but the simple truth is that the majority of white spots on fingernails are caused by a previous injury to the nail bed. They can be loosely compared to bruises on the skin.





    If you notice white spots, also known as leukonychia, on your nails, they unlikely to have been caused by a vitamin or mineral deficiency. In a few cases, white spots on fingernails can indicate an underlying infection, but much more commonly, they are the result of injury. Similar to bruising, white spots on fingernails do not show up immediately. It may take several days or weeks before you notice the spots. Because they are generally the result of a minor injury, you are likely to have forgotten all about banging your fingernail against the car door.





    White spots on fingernails are usually not the result of serious injury to the nail, such as being hit with a hammer, which would more likely result in dark blue to black spots and possible necrosis or death of the nail tissue. Fingernails grow at an average rate of half an inch per month, so most visible injuries to the nail take about eight weeks to grow out completely. Sometimes, white spots on fingernails fade before they completely grow out.





    Some of the common myths associated with white spots on fingernails claim they are the result of a calcium deficiency or eating too much mayonnaise. While these white spots may be the result of a zinc deficiency, it is likely that other signs of zinc deficiency, such as hair loss or a slow immune system, would be present as well. Occasionally, a few white spots on fingernails may indicate an allergic reaction to a product used on the nail, such as nail polish, hardener, or polish remover.
    If it is white spots and your nails are brittle, and you have gastro problems get tested for celiac disease.





    Trust me, I've diagnosed a few people from that!
    that's deficiency of calcium in your body...


    drink one glass of milk everyday...

    I've always been curious to know...I would assume that everything you eat would have calories...Are there calories in fingernails?
    no there arrent, your body does not digest them, they get excreted through your poop. Therefore, no calories are absorbed.

    I do it, fingers and toes. Yes, it does make them shinier but I have alterior motives. I paint them in a clear coat because at times I have been known to be a nail biter. When I get nervous I do this. I have discovered when I put polish on though it detours me from such things.





    Also I paint them black when I go to the dark bars. I like it, if its a good black polish. Not cheap stuff. LOLIf I Paint My Fingernails and Toenails in Clear Nail Polish, will the be a red flag that I'm gay?
    I seem to get away with it. Ok, I'm not gay, but no one has ever mentioned or seems to have noticed it.





    If it makes you feel good... why not ?
    Yes.
    Yes, that is going to give out a gay vibe. If you care, then dont do it on your toes OR fingers. If you dont care, then go for it.
    Who cares what they think its your choice not theirs, go for it
    Yeah, there is always someone who might think that it is gay. I would go ahead and paint them, and if anyone asks, say you have a zinc deficiency that makes them brittle. The paint is actually a medication that makes them stronger. Have fun and don't worry about what others may think.
    i think that if you are willing to paint your nails, they might be the last things that you need to worry about if you don't want people to know you're gay
    Clear nail polish is the finishing touch on a ';by the book'; manicure and pedicure for a man. If you want your nails to look nice to you then do what you need. My brother in law gets his done when he gets manicures and pedicures and I would not want to be the one to call him gay.
    my fingernails are painted a sheer light blue, my toenails a deep red, I'm not gay, just a straight cross dresser who likes pretty nails, i know regular straight guys who just like having pretty nails.
    Yeah, but your nails will look hot and shiney, but it want stand out too much until it starts wearing off...Nothing wrong with a nice manicure, and also I think it makes your nails stronger and healthier.

    I dont think it matters that much, BUT generally hygiene is a major plus. So if not polished, make sure they are clean! That being said Im sure your guy will be into you whether or not you have polish on!
    YES!
    Yes in subtle colors. but no particularly long nails. No one wants a women who can't or won't get out and enjoy life because she is afraid to break a nail!
    It's not the first thing I look for...but it is nice when they're well groomed...
    Yes, I think it shows that she takes the time to make herself look a little bit more beautiful.
    I like the end result,but i don't like watching the process much though its like watching someone in the bath room
    Oh yes! Especially if I get to do the painting....nothing better than gently blowing on her toes to dry the polish and make her wet.
    It adds to the TP or total package. I could take it or leave it. Had some girlfriends that did it up all the time and my current love only does her toes because she uses her hands all day long and would chip them.
    Yes
    Honey they only notice your nails if they're gross. We spend an hour doing a mani pedi for ourselves and other women to notice.
    sure, it shows she takes care of herself. . . We don't want cruddy nails now do we?
    Absolutely!


    I love women to be feminine.


    That's what makes them attractive to me.


    The more feminine the better.
    I don't think guys mind it.
    yes it is as long as they dont over do it
    dun think its that big deal but if she is taking good care of it puttin a color would fit with ur cloths then i guess yeah but not that big deal!
    I don't think it really matters, just so long as they aren't nasty.

    At what rate do fingernails grow?

    Nails grow at an average rate of 0.1 mm/day (1 cm every 100 days) [1]. Fingernails require 4 to 6 months to regrow completely. Toenails require 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, season, exercise level, and hereditary factors.

    Clear nail polish is the finishing touch on a ';by the book'; manicure and pedicure for a man. If you want your nails to look nice to you then do what you need. My brother in law gets his done when he gets manicures and pedicures and I would not want to be the one to call him gay.
    my fingernails are painted a sheer light blue, my toenails a deep red, I'm not gay, just a straight cross dresser who likes pretty nails, i know regular straight guys who just like having pretty nails.
    Yeah, but your nails will look hot and shiney, but it want stand out too much until it starts wearing off...Nothing wrong with a nice manicure, and also I think it makes your nails stronger and healthier.

    Guys, do you think a girl having her toenails and fingernails polished is attractive?

    who doesn't love a well groomed womenGuys, do you think a girl having her toenails and fingernails polished is attractive?
    it can be so long as its not overdone.Guys, do you think a girl having her toenails and fingernails polished is attractive?
    I dont think it matters that much, BUT generally hygiene is a major plus. So if not polished, make sure they are clean! That being said Im sure your guy will be into you whether or not you have polish on!
    YES!
    Yes in subtle colors. but no particularly long nails. No one wants a women who can't or won't get out and enjoy life because she is afraid to break a nail!
    It's not the first thing I look for...but it is nice when they're well groomed...
    Yes, I think it shows that she takes the time to make herself look a little bit more beautiful.
    I like the end result,but i don't like watching the process much though its like watching someone in the bath room
    Oh yes! Especially if I get to do the painting....nothing better than gently blowing on her toes to dry the polish and make her wet.
    It adds to the TP or total package. I could take it or leave it. Had some girlfriends that did it up all the time and my current love only does her toes because she uses her hands all day long and would chip them.
    Yes
    Honey they only notice your nails if they're gross. We spend an hour doing a mani pedi for ourselves and other women to notice.
    sure, it shows she takes care of herself. . . We don't want cruddy nails now do we?
    Absolutely!


    I love women to be feminine.


    That's what makes them attractive to me.


    The more feminine the better.
    I don't think guys mind it.
    yes it is as long as they dont over do it
    dun think its that big deal but if she is taking good care of it puttin a color would fit with ur cloths then i guess yeah but not that big deal!
    I don't think it really matters, just so long as they aren't nasty.

    At what rate do fingernails grow?

    Nails grow at an average rate of 0.1 mm/day (1 cm every 100 days) [1]. Fingernails require 4 to 6 months to regrow completely. Toenails require 12 to 18 months. Actual growth rate is dependent upon age, season, exercise level, and hereditary factors.

    Nothing will happen and the burning will subside. Try cold water maybe. I just let it wear off.HELP!!! i used hair dye without gloves.cause i didnt know any diferent and MY FINGERNAILS ARE BURNING!!!?
    was your hands with cold water and soap and that should help the burning subside so don't worry it won't hurt you.take care. next time remember to wear gloves.

  • Why are the fingernails + hair of a person - still growing long after death .??

    i see it , in so many movies .Why are the fingernails + hair of a person - still growing long after death .??
    No. When u die the skin on ur head and ur fingers dries out so it becomes stiff. Then it shrivels back a little bit so it looks like there hair or nails has grown.Why are the fingernails + hair of a person - still growing long after death .??
    That is an old wise tell.





    It's simply not true.
    its not that your fingernails and hair grows, its that your skin kind of deflates?.. it just looks like its all growing but really its just your skin shrinking
    Think it has something to do with the skin shrinking/shrivelling that causes the hair to look longer.

    Men with long fingernails?

    I get really freaked out by men with long nails - do u?Men with long fingernails?
    yeh it really freaks me out too!!


    my friend grew hes thumb and hes little pinky fingernail it looked horrible he said it was handy when he wanted too pick hes nose ewww!!!Men with long fingernails?
    My guy has longish nails on his right hand, perfectly manicured, even as far as having them buffed. It looks a little weird, but it is because he plays fingerstyle guitar. The shape helps him hit the right strings, the care is to prevent them from breaking from the beating they take, and the feel great when he is scratching my back while I fall asleep after we have made beautiful music together.





    Don't count them all out because of the nails!





    PS. They are not freakishly long, and they are tapered, short on the side near the thumb, to about 3/16'; on the other side.
    It seems as a fashion faux-pas is men do have longer fingernails. So yes, I do get creeped out a bit. However, it is a general rule for guitarists (err...musically trained guitarists) to grow out their fingernails for ease of handpicking. So there are always exceptions.
    Eugh! It totally freaks me out too! I think it's disgusting! Especially when the nails are dirty! Ugh. I def think men should NOT have long finger nails... there's something kinda creepy about it! Ugh. sends a shiver down my spine thinking about it! I had to tell em boyfriend it grosses me out coz he grew his nails quite long - MUCH longer than mine!! Ugh ugh ugh. He now cuts them and makes a point of telling me!!! lol! So pleased to know I am not the only one though!!! :)
    EWWW i cant stand that or when they have just the pinkie nail grown long. another thing i dont like is when men or even anyone that has dirt up under their nails, it is just unsanitary! and under the nails is where most bacteria builds up its gross
    I agree especially if there's dirt underneath. For guitarists I think it's understandable. The only other time it would be ok is if the guy is wearing black nail polish and it's well done like this:http://www.flickr.com/photos/yipeeyahoo/鈥?/a>
    yeah.


    its more feminine to have long nails


    and it doesnt seem right on a guy.


    i hate biten finger nails too. ew.





    i think on a lad they should just be short.


    no biten and not long.





    lol.
    Yes, it is soooo gross. They dont know how to keep them clean or up to par like women do..plus even if they did that is still not right. Its not natural and looks weird...along with the toenails too..eeww keep those things cut too!!!
    Eeeeewwww! Icky!





    Unless they're like Keith Richards or some other guitar genius, I'm only led to consider the repulsive uses they must employ those claws for....especially when it's like just one that's long.
    my driving instructor had long nails and to make it even worse they had all that dirt under them i used to get out the car and want to vomit. mens nails should be really short or its just kinda gross
    yeah they look kinda weird. if it was my boyfriend then i would do his nails. not paint them but like clip them and give them a little file. but still make them look manly
    Horrible!


    But I know a lovely guy who wear false nails..in order to play classical guitar.





    (yes, I HAVE told him its scary!)
    Yep, I have a thing about men cutting their nails and taking care of their nails just by cutting them regularly!
    i've never really seen any, or noticed it at least, but i think i would be freaked if i did see them! only acceptable on girls.
    I find it disgusting. It's as bad as yellow teeth or bad breath.
    Yeah, it's so nasty. Guys nails should be short.
    absoltely!


    they just irritate me.
    that's disgusting.
    i like men with long fingernails. better grip you digg lol.
    They just look like druggies.
    i think it looks too untidy i like men with short and neat finger nails
    i agree -





    men should always have short nails, otherwise EWWWWWWWWWWW!
    yer its totally wierd
    If they keep them clean, then I do not mind!
    yes it is not very nice.
    they must be gay, no girl would want those inside her
