My sister is 9 years of age.Should i go to the movies with my boyfriend or go take my sister to get her nails done?
You should take your sister out to get her nails done. She's family. She probably more important then some guy. He'll break-up eventually. you'll always be sisters though. ^_^ Good luck! lolShould i go to the movies with my boyfriend or go take my sister to get her nails done?
First of all, your sister is 9 years old. I mean why does a 9 year old need to get her nails done? I'm shocked no one has pointed this out already. But, whatever reasons there are, you should go take your sister, because family always comes first. Family will always (well, supposed to be) there for you. Besides, you can go to the movies any day.
I say go with your sister. Explain to your BF that you need to spend time with her. If he's good boyfriend, he'll understand. Your sister will appreciate it.
You should take your boyfriend to the movies.
Take your sister to get her nails done, or do them yourself and then go to the movies later.
get your sisters nail done before 1:oo p.m. then go to the movies with you man later in the evening.
Take your sister to get her nails done today, go to the movies with your boyfriend tomorrow.
Sister...family comes first...
Go with whoever you made plans with first.
go with your sister. It's a good test of how committed your bf is, and your sister will appreciate it more anyways.

Why is my dad freaking out about my black nails?
I'm 16, (ten more characters to add)Why is my dad freaking out about my black nails?
It is just a trend, but you have to remember that this trend means something different than what it used to. Your dad is part of a generation, where only drug addicts, bad girls, promiscuous girls, satanic girls and other low-life's, wore black nail polish. I remember, even when I was in high school, back in the 90's, that it was worn for shock value.
Now, back when I was 16, we all knew that the girls and even some of the guys who wore it, were harmless. Most were pretty smart, often involved in band or theatre, and were just trying to be a little shocking. It was right in there with wearing black lipstick or dying your hair jet black. Even the Goth kids were pretty harmless, and we didn't really have Emo yet, although the haircuts still existed. Those kids did get a little more attention, which is all they ever wanted, and it didn't really both too many people, unless you were pretty ignorant.
But see, your dad is probably older than I am. I'm only 30, although, I guess if I had, had a kid at 14, she'd be about your age, so theoretically, I'm old enough to have a kid your age. Likely though, he's probably in his 40s, and to him its a worrisome indicator. He's comparing you to the 16-year-old girls he knew, when he was 16. He's not keeping-up with modern trends and he's not really interested in what's cool now.
Like he said, ';It never leads to anything good.'; You have to understand, that he's taking an interest in you and is concerned for you. You should be happy you even have a father, much less a dad who's actually concerned about you. You should be happy he's paying attention to you, and noticing things like the colour of your nail polish. Do you have any idea how many girls don't have a father, much less a real dad? Do you have any idea, how many girls who do have a dad, have one that doesn't pay attention to them, and doesn't care about them or their well being? Cut the old man some slack. It may be he's a little ignorant about new tends, but he does care about you, and if you have to sacrifice a few trends, which you wont even care about a few years from now, then its worth it, to maintain your relationship with him.
I know that there are plenty of girls who would gladly throw away their black nail polish, if it meant having a dad who cared about them, this much. When he stops caring and starts ignoring you, then you can worry. I wouldn't fight him on this. It seems arbitrary, and you can always wear all the black nail polish you want, once you move away and go to a university. You'll probably be leaving in the next year or two anyway.
There is kinda an invisible line actually. Its that line where dad's don't know what's cool. They can only compare it to what things where like when they were that age. Yeah, its not fair. Most dad's aren't even really all that interested in learning what's cool either. The one's who tend to be kinda absent and let you get away with one thing, tend to be really absent and let you get away with everything and they just don't care. Be happy he cares.
I think you should take it off to please him, but you can express yourself in other ways. There are other trendy things you can do. I remember, when I was just starting college, one trendy thing was to do different designs with shoe laces. This group would often buy trendy sneakers, and then would buy different colour laces, and would even lace them differently. There are apparently books and websites, that feature instructions on how to do fancy lacings. This never really offended anyone, and even if you could only afford one trendy pair of shoes, the laces were cheap, and it was a way to keep them looking different, and interesting. I think that's probably still trendy in some areas. Its one of those things that never offended anyone, and didn't really have a secondary meaning.Why is my dad freaking out about my black nails?
Well, sometimes Dads are like that. Often, if you just resolve the initial conflict, like in your case, you took the polish off, then people are more willing to listen. In his case, your Dad was then willing to listen to you, when you explained it was just a new trend, %26amp; doesn't mean anything bad.
hi how are you? dads what can I say they sometimes worry to much about things that we don't think it is a big deal/he just loves you so much that he worries about your appearance.
Maybe your dad thinks you are going to the dark side or something just because you are wearing nail polish.
Even though it is a trend right now for you and maybe your friends why not just take it off to please your dad maybe you could put a different colour you like and then decorate with a little black on the nails cause it does not look so bad for your dad (like black spots or lines or whatever you thinking of doing for decoration).
I am not telling you what to do it is your decision of course but do you really want to fight and argue with your dad over black nail polish?
good luck with your decision and I think it is a good Idea to talk to your dad about it one on one in a mature manner
all the best
I sometimes paint my nails black, I am not goth or a devil worshiper. LoL. Tell your dad its just a color and it's not like you're pregnant or have piercings or tattoo's. Tell him there are other things he should worrying about other than the color you decide to paint YOUR nails!
You should wear all black one day and wear black lipstick and eyeshadow and tell him you are a satainist just to get a rise out of him and when he gets shocked or mad tell him ';just kidding it's just black nail polish dad!';
It's just a trend, like you said. There was a HUGE freak out back in the 50's-60's era over bright red nail polish and lip stick, you were a sult (spelled wrong on purpose!) if you wore this color...see how silly it is now?
You should probably just reassure him that you are not in a cult of Devil Worshipers who are sacrificing small animals in your spare time, unfortunately that's the stigma attached to black these days..
Good luck!
so it seems that DR. Stef is saying that if you paint your nails black then you will end up pregnant... WHAT ARE THEY PUTTING IN FINGERNAIL POLISH THESE DAYS?! OMG!!!!!! Anyways... enough of listening to the moronic DR. over there. If you like it, sit down with your dad and ask him why he feels that way. Explain to him that you arn't out there doing drugs or drinking (and if you are, lie to him for gods sake. we don't want him to have a heart attack) and tell him that you like the way they look. Try to come to a compromise with him.
Tell him there are far more worse things you could be doing than painting your nails black.
Lol or just simlpy ask him why it makes him so upset, and explain to him it is just a trend and you like how they look.
Explain to him that's it's just a fashion trend. Maybe get some magazines and show him celebrities or models with black nails. Not all people with black nailpolish are goth or emo (maybe that's what he's thinking..).
he is right I got married in black nails
didnt turn into anything good
black nails are goth,,,,,add yellow or orange stripes show some respect,,,,meet half way on this,,,,,

I wear arcylic nails--how do I keep them from discoloring in the tanning bed?
There are all sorts of UV products do any of them keep discoloration from occuring???I wear arcylic nails--how do I keep them from discoloring in the tanning bed?
Acrylic nails should not yellow, not if they are made from top quality acrylics. If they do are yellow, it is most often due to a product which you are using, like nail polishes, and will only stain the very top of the nail, not the entire way through the nail. Suntanning accelerators, and lotions, cremes, etc., can also stain the surface of your nails. Just be sure to wash your hands good after using any of these products - before tanning, if possible. Always use a basecoat when using polish on acrylic nails. This will help to prevent staining, and it will make the polish last longer by giving it something to adhere to. A gentle buffing should remove surface stains.The reason this happens is that acrylic nails are porous, and thus, products such as nail polish - especially darker shades, can easily penetrate the surface
If they are stained all the way through the nail, then chances are that you have gotten either poor quality acrylic applied to your nails, or acrylic which contains a substance called MMA(cheap, and will ruin your nails, and possibly be harmful to your health as well. This is not for use on nails, and it is illegal to use on nails in many states. This is not for use on nails, ever. But its really cheap to buy, so lots of discount salons use it anyway). These will yellow all the way through. Always make sure you go to a reputable salon which uses nothing but top quality products. The containers which hold the liquid and powders should be clearly labeled. If they are not, then this is usually a sign that it is not a good quality product. Always ask which acrylic product line they are using. If the containers are unmarked, as is usually the case at discount salons, then don't be afraid to ask them to show you the original containers. If they have nothing to hide, then they should not have a problem with this sort of request. Look for names on the containers such as Creative Nail Design, Tammy Taylor, Entity Beauty, Young Nails, and there are a few more good ones too.
One way to avoid yellow nails altogether is to get gel nails. Be certain that you are getting real gel nails. Gel nails uses nothing but gels, they have the consistency of a hair styling gel, and come in various colors, most commonly clear, white, and numerous shades of pink, though there are also lots of other colors available now as well. Gel nails do NOT contain any liquid and powder. If the tech is applying any L %26amp; P, then you are getting acrylic nails, not gel nails. It happens all the time, beware of this. And there is no such thing as ';powder gel'; either, though some scammers will refer to their 'gel' as being this. Gel is gel, not powder. Period.
About Solar nails: They are regular acrylics. They are not some new type of nail, or nail product. Don't be fooled into thinking that they are not acrylic, because they are though lots of discount salons are marketing them as some sort of new nail product. This is false. The term is a play on words, and typically refers to Pink %26amp; White nails (Permanent French). Thus, the price should never be any higher than it is for P%26amp;W's, because thats what they are! SoarNail is an acrylic product line that is made by Creative Nail Design. It was first introduced back in the later 1970's, and is still used today, though not very often because the acrylic industry has changed and improved for the better over the years so that much better acrylic products are now being used. But, CND remains to be one of the top nail companies in existence because they have kept up with all the changes, and this is reflected in their current nail product offerings including acrylics, gels and many more nail care products. Just a bit of info for ya!I wear arcylic nails--how do I keep them from discoloring in the tanning bed?
If it's doing that to your nails imagine what its doing to your body as you regularly do this. From a guys point of view, the fake baked girls don't look good and everybody knows that its fake. You can also tell the women in their thirties who have been doing this for a long time look so much older and their skin is nasty. Do you want to be one of those women with wrinkly cleavage? A healthy glow from a LITTLE sun exposure looks so much better.
You could use a darker polish, or if you like French tips you could switch from acrylic to gel (they don't really discolor). Or you could put cotton around your fingertips before you get in, or even maybe douse them in SPF 50.
Oh gross. Tanning and acrylic nails. Make sure your polish doesn't have any formaldehyde in it. This is what causes the yellwing.
Try solar nails instead. They're similar to acryllic, and cost slightly more, but they don't turn yellow when you tan.
there are caps you can wear on your nails made special for arcyic nails
if not all i can think of is cover up the tips with lotion or towels
if you go to a good tanning place they have nail covers you can buy/use. Ask them next time you go in there!
don't go fake baking...it is really bad for your skin and nails
well your fake..ha ha fake nails and fake tan ha
put something over them when u tan
Try having a gel set put on next time you have your nails done. They last longer and won't discolor like acrylic nails. I have had this problem before too.how to apply

I seem to have developed ridges on my finger nails. Is this a vitamin deficiency ?
Can this be treated ?I seem to have developed ridges on my finger nails. Is this a vitamin deficiency ?
Fingernail condition has been used for thousands of years to accurately diagnose ailments and maladies in the body. Chinese physicians mastered this practice.
Fingernail changes may signify a number of disorders elsewhere in the body. These changes may indicate illness even before the rest of the body shows any signs. You should always seek professional help if any of the below changes are observed on the nail.
Ridges running lengthwise may indicate a kidney disorders
Brittle nails may indicate possible iron deficiencyI seem to have developed ridges on my finger nails. Is this a vitamin deficiency ?
Yes it is, it is a vitamin or mineral deficiency, but I'm sorry I can't remember exactly which one. I had a mineral and vitamin book somewhere I read it in. I know white spots indicate zinc deficiency. Try a Naturopath for advice?

How do I stop dirt from getting under my nails?
I just stopped biting my nails but whenever I check there's dirt under them! I don't go playing in the mud so I don't know how it gets there, is there a way to stop dirt getting under my nails without having to remove it myself?
thanks in advance!How do I stop dirt from getting under my nails?
Congratulations! Nailbiting is a difficult habit to break. Good for you.
If you're going to be doing something you know will cause this problem (like gardening), dig your fingernails into a bar of soap and slide across the bar. This will coat the underside of the nail making clean up really easy.
Otherwise, you'll need to get a small nail brush and give your nails a swipe when necessary. Don't get into the habit of using pointed objects to scrape. At some point, you'll cut into the tissue joining the nail and your finger (ooooh! so painful!)
Keep up the good work and treat yourself to a manicure.How do I stop dirt from getting under my nails?
It isn't posible to remove dirt from underneath your nails without phisically doing it yourself.
Unfortunatlely.
But you can try 'natural buffer' which is sold at walmart and it is this stuff u put under your nails and no dirt ever goes there.

yes but u would have to go to a nail place so they could do it that should but it may
cost and if that doesn't work then u would have to clean them your self.

no there really isnt anything that will prevent dirt from getting under nails but after u do an activity u can wash ur hands so the dirt that was there leaves and doesnt build up
cut your nails to a short length.

Is biting my nails bad for my teeth?
Other than being a bad habit does it have any have other adverse health effects?Is biting my nails bad for my teeth?
YES IT DAMAGES YOUR TEETH. i have been biting my teeth practically all my life (i may only be 16, but it has allready began effecting my teeth, its hard to explain, but it corrodes a bit of your tooth)Is biting my nails bad for my teeth?
Gross, that really freaks me out!
I don't know if the keratine is digestible (people have died from eating their hair, also keratine). I'd try to stop if I were you. Good luck!
no but think of all the germs that are under your nails
i would like to know =]
and how to break the habit....
It's bad for your nails.
NO IT IS NOT HARMING YOUR TEETH! BUT IT COULD BE HARMING YOUR FINGER NAILS BADLY, OR MOUTH FROM BACTERIA UNDER YOUR NAILS
IF SWALLOWING THEM. YOU COULD BE DAMAGING YOUR STOMACH
FIND A NEW HOBBY
THE BEST WAY TO STOP IS DIP THEM IN POOP AND THINK BEFORE YOU BITE THEM AGAIN WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN
Ive been a nail biter all my life, when you get older, it will wear down your front teeth, cause vertical cracks in them, and eventually break them. Fortunately the dentists now days can fix them.

that should get you to stop all that. i also read that it has various health effects due to lead poisoning. (lead can get there from any dusty conditions.) But seriously, man. you're gonna be gross, not to mention that it's a disgusting and poon-repelling habit.
dey arent bad for yer teeth if you dont got any teeth like mee
YES IT DAMAGES YOUR TEETH. i have been biting my teeth practically all my life (i may only be 16, but it has allready began effecting my teeth, its hard to explain, but it corrodes a bit of your tooth)Is biting my nails bad for my teeth?
Gross, that really freaks me out!
I don't know if the keratine is digestible (people have died from eating their hair, also keratine). I'd try to stop if I were you. Good luck!
no but think of all the germs that are under your nails
i would like to know =]
and how to break the habit....
It's bad for your nails.
NO IT IS NOT HARMING YOUR TEETH! BUT IT COULD BE HARMING YOUR FINGER NAILS BADLY, OR MOUTH FROM BACTERIA UNDER YOUR NAILS

What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Plz i need help i tried everything!!!!!!!What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Every morning, dip your nails in nail polish remover. It will taste so nasty when you bite them, you'll have to stop.What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Keep them dirty... scratch your skin or do something that will make you think twice each time you go to put them in your mouth.
smear dog poop on them you may slip and bite them once, but you won't a second time.
stop it
they have this stuff for kids that bite nails- it tastes like you are eating finger nail polish. do some research on it.
Buy nail clippers at your local store for under a dollar, and use them every time you have to cut your nails. This will break the habit of using your mouth and teeth
I bit my nails my entire life and tried everything. Finally I invested in acrylic nails for a special event and kept them for 2 months. When I got them removed I had gotten over the habit and continued to be motivated by my natural pretty nails afterwards.
well like maybe go get your nails done with the best manucure and prettyest nail polish then that would prob. stop the temptation........but what i do,well i chew gum and that helps like so much.......or what other people have said they put nail polish remover on and after u put that on u wouldnt even want to put your nails even CLOSE to your mouth
well i hope i helped

My mom use to paint my little sister's fingernails with tobasco. I'm not sure if it a good idea, crazy, or just abusive, but I guess it was affective. This presumes that you don't love tobasco sauce on its own.
what i do to stop biting my nails is just always have nail pollish on you nails, and just try not to bite your nails, just think how pretty they would be if you didnt bite them..
=]]
GOOD LUCK!
put nail polish on ur nails you'll taste how gross it is then you'll stop it and plus it last all day
try a nailpolish called ';hoof'; i used it...it tastes so terrible that even without it on i still taste it when i think about biting my nails
wear gloves.
Put lemon juice and wasabi on your nails. and when u start to bite ur nails, u'll taste the nastiness and learn to not bite em anymore
you can buy the new polish it tast awfull when you put your nails in your mouth.
dip 'em in Tabasco, but that wouldn't work for me. I was weaned on the stuff.............

The ';Broken'; EP was pretty Heavy, if you're into industrial metal. The ';Downward Spiral'; is also pretty heavy, but not as heavy as ';Broken';.

There is special stuff you can buy at the store to paint on your nails. You can also buy a little hand games or something so your hands are occupied. If you bite when you are nervous, instead of bored, you should carry around something squishy to squeeze. Tell your friends and family that you want to stop, so they can stop you when you do it. Hope that helps.What is the best way to stop bitting my nails?
I agree with the nail polish or the tape, but growing up in a mexican family (and HATING chili powder)...my aunt used to dip my fingers in chili powder or really hot salsa...then i'd be burning the heck out of my mouth until i learned better (now i just file them down before i get a chance to revert to old ways)
I know its hard...I had to stop somehow. cold turkey is the best way. You gotta have the will power to stop.
just keep them out of your mouth.
put poison on them
al u hav 2 do is put tape on it and every time u bit them u will bit that nasty tape.
paint ur nails. when u notice that ur eating nial polish, you wil deffinately stop. =] hope that helps
i assume you`re a girl, with your nickname right ? just paint your nails ! it helped me a lot, i used to have serious nail biting issues until my mom painted them, i was about to bite them, but after seeing the nail polish, i was sure i didn`t want to eat polish -__- so i stopped ! i`ve had long nails for a few years now.

What happens when you leave on false stick-on nails for more than the told time?
like if it says ';wear only for 24 hours'; and you wear them longer.What happens when you leave on false stick-on nails for more than the told time?
nothing. thats if they actually hold up that long. I use nail glue, though. that can damage your nails a litte, but after taking mine off, I just use a 3-way nail buffer and that shines them right back up.What happens when you leave on false stick-on nails for more than the told time?
They will fall off eventually, but while they are still on, they may start to develop bacteria underneath them, and that will damage your real nail.

Are fake nails really worth the money?
My local shopping center, where i work, just opened a nail beautician store... i walk past it every day. i have long nails myself but i really like the look of gel nails... but it cost $60 to get them. How long do they last and do they get in the way of doing daily chores?? i dont want to waste my money but i want nice nails.Are fake nails really worth the money?
I don't think so... Bacteria and fungus can grow underneath of them too and ruin your natural nails.Are fake nails really worth the money?
go someplace cheaper than those are. I got mine for 30 and they are fantastic!
you can go to some pharmacist shop or something like that to get at a cheaper price? $60 is quite expensive for me, they'll last like for a week?
If 60 bucks isn't enough alone to discourage you, then perhaps this info will. The chemical used to apply acrylic and gel nails is to bacteria, as a hershey bar is to a pms'n woman...meaning that bacteria microorganisms loooove acetone and the other chemicals used and flock to it. As the nail is applied you are literally trapping millions of microorganisms between your real nail and the fake one PER FINGER. That is like heaven to the bacteria cuz all their lives consist of is eating and pooping nonstop...therefore they remain trapped between your nails feeding away nonstop on the chemicals even when we think its gone, just cuz we no longer smell the strong chem odor doesnt mean its not there, and bacteria can smell it.They live and thrive and feed and poop and well DESTROY your natural fingernail among other things which basically involve a physician and sum antibiotics! Not to mention its NASTY yellow crusty gross for a looong time. Fake is never ever a good thing in my opinion anyway.and 60 bux is outrageous for that. I live in GA and I thought it was crazy that theyre 35$ here I cannot even see me goin for 60! My advice steer clear from the fake ones, give YOURSELF a home manicure, take your 60 bucks and have a good time.
dont get them!!! if you wear them for over 10 days you can develop a horrible fungus. i think that you will be happier if you just get a pretty manicure. and unless the glue is like SUPER SUPER glue the nails fall off pretty fast.
I know some people think that $60 is a lot for a set of nails but you get what you pay for. If you go to a budget salon and pay $15 you get cheap nails.
Artifical enhancements, if done correctly, are great! Make sure you go to someone that you know does good work and uses quality products. I've been doing nails for 16 years and I don't agree with what is said about bacteria being trapped between the product and nail. If the technician is doing the service correctly, she/he will clean the nail plate with a dehydrator/disinfectant first before applying the product.
Depending on how fast your nails grow and the quality of work will depend on the time between fills. Most of my clients go 3 weeks between fills. They won't get in the way of your daily chores anymore than your own long natural nails.
I love fake nails! They last a while and are stronger then my real nails. It takes a while getting used to them though.
No!...Real nails are free!
umm actually, fake nails will look gorgeous but if u have really long nails get them done professionally, they will look so good. i got my real nails done and i can't even tell the difference, it may cost u less to do it too. if u want fake u can but u will waste ur real ones
well they are pretty but they stay on me for about two weeks but then u can go get them filled for cheaper and continue to wear them but if u dont get them filled then they just come off and they ruin ur nails
No don't get them because they can be really annoying, but from terry white chemist you can get a french nail kit for $15 and in the kit it has special nail polish to do french nails and it looks better. If you don't have a terry white chemist i know that k-mart and priceline sell the nail polish but there kits are more expensive and don't have everything in it like the one at terry white.
its a waste the ruin your nails and it gets ib the way dont do it
they do get in the way. they look nice. they have made my real nails grow very long. fungus and bacteria happens depending on how unsanitary the nail technican's equipment is. i say find a cheaper nail salon and try them for a week or two.
I used to have fake nails and loved how they looked too. But, I needed to go every 2 weeks to get fills otherwise they look cheap. I now use Sally Hansen Maximum growth phase 1 to make my nails long and strong and I just get a french manicure which is much less $$ then a fill ($40 each time) 2x a month. Also, I wouldn't recommend the ';mall'; nail salons. Some of them use much harsher chemicals then places where you might pay more. If you are going to have it done, I would call salons and ask why they would recommend you come to their salon over another.

How short should I cut my dog's nails?
I take my puppy to petco once a week and have them clip her nails, brush her teeth and clean her ears all for $9.00. I can do the bathing on my own! But I'm not yet comfortable with those areas... Good luck!How short should I cut my dog's nails?
if you don't know, my best advice is to take the dog to a groomer or vet, and have them teach you how to do it. Nothing beats hands on training!
best of luck!How short should I cut my dog's nails?
Hopefull they not black and you can see the ';quick'; - the live part of the nail.. do not cut into that.
If they are black, just cut the very tip. Good idae to have some treatment on hand in case you do cut into the quick and it bleeds.
Be very careful - painful for the dog if you do.
This will give you the step by step, with pictures.
Hope it helps.
http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/nailtrim鈥?/a>
just be sure not to cut the quick- which will bleed. if you do, you can get some ';quick stop'; powder to stop the bleeding.
you could also use a grinder/file so that the freshly cut nails don't cut YOU when your dog scratches you
Cut before you hit the quick... if you nick the quick your dogs nail will start to breed profusely.
Here is a site with pictures, if you don't know what the quick is:http://www.pugman.com/Pug%20Information/鈥?/a>
If you are going to clip your dogs nails, be sire to buy some ';quick stop'; (or like product) its available at most pet stores. It's a powder you can use to plug the quick if you accidentally clip it. It will stop it from bleeding.
you should cut them only to where they will not scratch you.
depends on the bred of animal. nail shearing shuld be done by a professional and if you have never done it before dont even think about it. if you have no experience with trimming nails on a dog you can cut too short and the animal can bleed to death. the nails can be trimmed but carefully but if cut into the quick which is like the nails we have and bleed. it would be best if you paid for someone who knows what they are doing. this is a dangerous procedure and if the nail is cut too close your animal can start bleeding and it cant be stopped except by a medicine that forms a clot that stops bleeding.
make sure you have a bright light. this will help you see the nail. if your dog has clear nails you can easily see where the quick is. if black nails, be extra careful
also they have nail cutters for dogs that has a movable plate under the cutter to prevent the nail from going to far. make sure to have handy the stop bleeding stick or powder just in case.
you may also want to have someone help you hold your dog's foot still.
it is nerve wracking, i cut 6 dog's nails and take one to the vet because she just wiggles way too much.
good luck!
Just watch not to nick the quick.
Cut only the very tips off until you are comfortable with judging where the quick is at in each nail.
On white nails you can see the quick through the nail.
On black nails look under the nail for the quick but it is safe to stay with cutting only the very tips.
With practice you will learn how far to cut. Usually if you maintain the dog's nails regularly you shouldn't have to cut very much off at all.
Only cut the tip of the toenail. If you cut into the ';quick'; you'll cut into the vein that runs down the dog's toenail and he'll bleed. Some dogs have blood that doesn't ';clot'; well and can bleed effusively if the nails are cut too short.
If you don't feel as though you can do this yourself, take him to your vet's office or to a groomer. They often clip toenails for free or for a very nominal cost.

What is a good way to stop biting my nails?it has unfortunately become one of my nervous habits..?
I was hoping to stop.Any ways to stop ?like how can i get myself to stop?What is a good way to stop biting my nails?it has unfortunately become one of my nervous habits..?
Since you are likely doing this subconsciously, get yourself a few pairs of different types of gloves you can comfortably wear.
You don't have to wear them all the time. Putting them on will remind you to stop biting your nails and if you try to bite them when the gloves are on it will remind you to stop biting them.
When you are in public you would probably want to not wear the gloves, but you are less likely to bite nails them.What is a good way to stop biting my nails?it has unfortunately become one of my nervous habits..?
a good way to stop biting your nails is to put bug spray on them
Wear a muzzle.
start slow, with one or 2 fingers,,, i quit biting my pinkey nails first, then i went to my pinkey and pointer, eventually the only nails i let myself bite were the thumb nails, before long, i quit all together,, took awhile, but i did it
go to a beauty supply store and ask. I'm pretty sure they have a nail polish of some sort you can put on and it tastes terrible
a nasty taste should help you stop
They have this clear nail polish that taste really bad that you can use. It's made to help kids to stop sucking their thumbs but it also works well for nail bitting.
Get a hobby like working out or try to think about something else. Instead play with your hair.
Some really hot chili peppers under your nails and
on the tips of your little didgets may cause you to
want a lollipop instead!!
Good luck!
this is going to sound foolish...but it helps... soak your fingers in habenyero (spelling?) peppers, or something that tastes really bad to you. over time it can help you break the habit. it helped me...
Gloves ... really thick ones.
you just like me must stop. you can do it . i wish you the best and i dont give a f u c k about the points but i did quit for the most part. no longer eat the flesh and just let them grow but sometimes still have to get them but dont hurt myself and trim them propper with my teeth as fae as i am concerened if i keep them neat with my teeth it is victory
The best way is to get a hammer and pound your teeth out.... P.S. Use a really big hammer!

You don't have to wear them all the time. Putting them on will remind you to stop biting your nails and if you try to bite them when the gloves are on it will remind you to stop biting them.
When you are in public you would probably want to not wear the gloves, but you are less likely to bite nails them.What is a good way to stop biting my nails?it has unfortunately become one of my nervous habits..?
a good way to stop biting your nails is to put bug spray on them
Wear a muzzle.
start slow, with one or 2 fingers,,, i quit biting my pinkey nails first, then i went to my pinkey and pointer, eventually the only nails i let myself bite were the thumb nails, before long, i quit all together,, took awhile, but i did it
go to a beauty supply store and ask. I'm pretty sure they have a nail polish of some sort you can put on and it tastes terrible
a nasty taste should help you stop
They have this clear nail polish that taste really bad that you can use. It's made to help kids to stop sucking their thumbs but it also works well for nail bitting.
Get a hobby like working out or try to think about something else. Instead play with your hair.
Some really hot chili peppers under your nails and
on the tips of your little didgets may cause you to
want a lollipop instead!!
Good luck!
this is going to sound foolish...but it helps... soak your fingers in habenyero (spelling?) peppers, or something that tastes really bad to you. over time it can help you break the habit. it helped me...
Gloves ... really thick ones.
you just like me must stop. you can do it . i wish you the best and i dont give a f u c k about the points but i did quit for the most part. no longer eat the flesh and just let them grow but sometimes still have to get them but dont hurt myself and trim them propper with my teeth as fae as i am concerened if i keep them neat with my teeth it is victory

If your 9 weeks pregnant can you get your nails done?
Can you go to the nail shop and get your nails done? with all those fumes in there? is it good, bad, or just a no-no period? when can you get your nails done again?If your 9 weeks pregnant can you get your nails done?
Yes you can, u can ask them for a mask but i didn't when i was and it went okIf your 9 weeks pregnant can you get your nails done?
Yes, you can get your nails done. As long as your not in their constantly there shouldn't be any problem. I will recommend maybe wearing a mask or something because the fumes might make you sick. That is the only thing that I see that you might have a problem with though.
Absolutely! If you prefer you can wear one of those hospital mask. As I see you think of protection for the baby: you'll be one of those great mother!
Thanks.
You can get your nails done the whole pregnancy! I did. If the fumes are bad ask for a mask
Yes I think that you can still have your nails done, but it's very important that you tell the nail technician that you are pregnant. She will not be able to use certain chemicals because of your stage in pregnancy. Hope this helps
yes you can get your nails done. my doctor said the only bad thing that could happen if you go to a nail place [excluding accidents] would be you could get woozy from the fumes. i got my nails done [acrylic] until i was about 23 weeks then i took them off simply because i didnt feel like getting them done anymore. i never got sick and i have a bigger than average baby, totally healthy, not ONE complication at all. =]]
congrats
EDIT: oh and if you get there and the fumes bother you, ask if you can wear one of their lil masks, they will give you one. i have seen a few fellow preggers in the place i got mine done at ask for them.
It's not something that most women take precautions against. However, technically, you come in contact with a lot of carcinogens when you go to the nail salon, so I'm choosing not to until my baby's born. Chances are though, your baby will be okay, so if you choose to go anyway, don't worry.
Yes, you can..
But I would just sit back and relax..
Enjoy your pregnancy and good luck !

What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Plz i need help i tried everything!!!!!!!What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Every morning, dip your nails in nail polish remover. It will taste so nasty when you bite them, you'll have to stop.What is the best way to stop biting your nails???
Keep them dirty... scratch your skin or do something that will make you think twice each time you go to put them in your mouth.
smear dog poop on them you may slip and bite them once, but you won't a second time.
stop it
they have this stuff for kids that bite nails- it tastes like you are eating finger nail polish. do some research on it.
Buy nail clippers at your local store for under a dollar, and use them every time you have to cut your nails. This will break the habit of using your mouth and teeth
I bit my nails my entire life and tried everything. Finally I invested in acrylic nails for a special event and kept them for 2 months. When I got them removed I had gotten over the habit and continued to be motivated by my natural pretty nails afterwards.
well like maybe go get your nails done with the best manucure and prettyest nail polish then that would prob. stop the temptation........but what i do,well i chew gum and that helps like so much.......or what other people have said they put nail polish remover on and after u put that on u wouldnt even want to put your nails even CLOSE to your mouth
well i hope i helped
%26lt;3/a (:
My mom use to paint my little sister's fingernails with tobasco. I'm not sure if it a good idea, crazy, or just abusive, but I guess it was affective. This presumes that you don't love tobasco sauce on its own.
what i do to stop biting my nails is just always have nail pollish on you nails, and just try not to bite your nails, just think how pretty they would be if you didnt bite them..
=]]
GOOD LUCK!
put nail polish on ur nails you'll taste how gross it is then you'll stop it and plus it last all day
try a nailpolish called ';hoof'; i used it...it tastes so terrible that even without it on i still taste it when i think about biting my nails
wear gloves.
Put lemon juice and wasabi on your nails. and when u start to bite ur nails, u'll taste the nastiness and learn to not bite em anymore
you can buy the new polish it tast awfull when you put your nails in your mouth.
dip 'em in Tabasco, but that wouldn't work for me. I was weaned on the stuff.............

I thought all of them were rock... like, industrial rock or something.Did Nine inch nails ever produce a heavy rock or metal album, if so what are they?
The ';Broken'; EP was pretty Heavy, if you're into industrial metal. The ';Downward Spiral'; is also pretty heavy, but not as heavy as ';Broken';.

What is the best way to stop bitting my nails?
Every morning saturate them with nail polish remover. Tastes awful...gentle reminder to stop bitingWhat is the best way to stop bitting my nails?
There is special stuff you can buy at the store to paint on your nails. You can also buy a little hand games or something so your hands are occupied. If you bite when you are nervous, instead of bored, you should carry around something squishy to squeeze. Tell your friends and family that you want to stop, so they can stop you when you do it. Hope that helps.What is the best way to stop bitting my nails?
I agree with the nail polish or the tape, but growing up in a mexican family (and HATING chili powder)...my aunt used to dip my fingers in chili powder or really hot salsa...then i'd be burning the heck out of my mouth until i learned better (now i just file them down before i get a chance to revert to old ways)
I know its hard...I had to stop somehow. cold turkey is the best way. You gotta have the will power to stop.
just keep them out of your mouth.
put poison on them
al u hav 2 do is put tape on it and every time u bit them u will bit that nasty tape.
paint ur nails. when u notice that ur eating nial polish, you wil deffinately stop. =] hope that helps
i assume you`re a girl, with your nickname right ? just paint your nails ! it helped me a lot, i used to have serious nail biting issues until my mom painted them, i was about to bite them, but after seeing the nail polish, i was sure i didn`t want to eat polish -__- so i stopped ! i`ve had long nails for a few years now.
wear hand glows
Go get fake nails put on; they're thick and when you remember that you spent at least $20 to get them done it will help you resist biting them.how to apply
