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

What do you think...should your toenails match your fingernails (Fall 08)? I was thinking berry toes & gold n
nails...does that sound good or should they match?What do you think...should your toenails match your fingernails (Fall 08)? I was thinking berry toes %26amp; gold n
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?

How do i get hair dye off of my fingernails?
being a hairdresser i constantly come home with tinted nails....
i use nail polish remover, works everytime :)How do i get hair dye off of my fingernails?
I got some on myself. Well, all over my hands. I was helping my mum dye her hair lol........
I washed most of it off, but it went away after a few days. You can't really do anything about it. How do i get hair dye off of my fingernails?
ermm,
have you tried nail varnish remover?
sounds weird but i guess it could work.
or you can try those wipes that get it off your skin
x
You can use aerosol (in the can) Hairspray ...if fingernail polish remover doesn't work,
try lemon juice. squeeze 2 or 3 lemons into a bowl and put your fingertips in it for couple of minutes

Women only - would you date a good looking guy who dresses normal but paints his fingernails bright pink?
Women only - would you date a good looking guy who dresses normal but paints his fingernails bright pink?
Why or why not?Women only - would you date a good looking guy who dresses normal but paints his fingernails bright pink?
Yes, if it's eccentricity we're talking about, yes most definitely. People look at the outside too much. My man has long wavy hair, a big old long beard with a moustace overlapping his top lip. His heart is so beautiful, that I see past all the hair, and if he painted his fingernails, I'd look past that too. He does have long girl-like nails anyway. But it's what's inside that's the important real deal. If no one else but myself can see that, score one for me! I can be enveloped in his kindness for always.Women only - would you date a good looking guy who dresses normal but paints his fingernails bright pink?
u_u What the freak, Its naive to judge anyone, except for their wit. Wit is the most important thing. And charm ;)
Considering if I was dating a man like that the polish would be there probably because of me, not because I like it, just for fun. What does it matter anways. Painting your nails doesn't mean your weird or anything
i'm not sure. i know i would and have dated guys that wore black nail polish but i'm not sure if i could handle bright pink. i know it's totally shallow and i would like to think that i could look past that, but i'm honestly not sure that i could.
As shallow as it sounds, no I wouldn't date him. Or atleast I'd be scared to. I'd feel uncomfortable and I'd be suspicious of who or what he is. Unless he tells me it was a joke...:).
doh!
no. its hilarious though.
I know a kid at school who paints his nails.
He's straight, I'm pretty sure, and normal with everything else.
But then the principal told him to stop.
why would a guy paint his fingernails BRIGHT pink??
i would if he is sweet, nice, funny, handsome, and smart (and i definitely know he's not gay). I wouldn't if i know he's gay.
NOOOOOOOO! With lovely nails showing...who knows what lurks underneath? (shoot...he probably has prettier cami than me!) nooo...run the other way.
no!
well idk why you would paint your nails bright pink.... but I guess if I liked the guy I would or I would just straight up tell him not to paint his nails pink try black lol
NO!! First of all if you straight why would you want to paint you fingernails bright pink?? They only reason a guy would do that is if he was gay.
no, i wouldnt really like a guy who painted his nails.
no
NO WAY!I'm not in to that kind of thing.
okay. first off...i think thats hilarious...although i think i would be WAY too paranoid to date a guy that has brighter nail polish than me! but...i would ask him why first..maybe he has a legit reason. other than that...sorry...i can't do it..i think i would always be staring at his nails and it would just really agitate me
um, no
