I love the way my nails look when I have acrylics. However when you take them off your nails will be horrible looking.  They will have a slight dent in them where the acrylic and nail were set, also they will be really really  thin. If you plan on getting them for a while its good then your nails will grow and your hands will be pretty. But if its just for one occasion be aware  of the outcome once you take them off. I usually use a nipper nail clippers to take them off, but I think they can take them off at the nail shop too for a fee, if you have them take them off I think that's better for your nails. Once you take them off you should get manicures to help your nails get healthy. Good luck, they are cute and I get them on and off every couple months!!

This can also be a zinc deficiency. No matter what kind of deficency it is, just take a good multivitamin.\n\n Make sure that you take a good multivitamin, and in a few weeks check the tops of your nails again, as it takes a few weeks for the nails to grow out.\n\nIf you're still having problems after a few weeks/months with your nails go to your doctor about it, and he can help you with it. \n\nBut it's probably just a nutritional thing.

You need to go see about it to see if it is a fungus, dermatitis or other infection. There are many other conditions that affect nails, some due to metobalic problems. Nails are an important gage to the overall health.

Go out and spoil yourself with a really nice manicure.  This has worked for a lot of people because you dont want to ruin something that you just spend a LOT of money for.  Try it and see what happens.  Good luck.

Yes, you need to see a doctor. The nail is dead and you may infect your toe if you are not careful. Do not dig at it you might cause further damage

The nail is important in protecting the sensitive nerve-endings, and this needs to be addressed with a doctor in order to help her develop normally.\n\nPossible causes:\n1. Fungal infection.\n2. Nervous system disorder.\n3. Nutritional deficiency.\n4. Mineral deficiency.\n5. Genetics.\n6. Compulsive behavior (Tourette's - no, not as in swearing; most people with Tourette's compulsively pick at some part of the body)\n7. Defect in the nailbed or nail matrix.\n\nStart with a pediatrician and have him or her refer you to a good dermatologist.

The nails could get loose and you burn your finger by hanging for to long.

Yes, this could have caused a flare-up. We have many sensitivities. I have one to odor too. A friend sprayed an ozonator (sp?) in our house one time and I was vomitting within 5 minutes. Ug! I also know a hair stylist that could not tolerate the acrylic nail fumes, she did not have Fibro but another immunosuppressant disorder.

Put some alcohol on it. The kind you use to clean up cuts and stuff. Can you imagine the nastiness. It'll really help. It helped me and i used to be addicted to it! And i used to bite my nails to the point where i would bleed. And it helped me!

Hangnails are usually caused by dry skin or (in the case of fingernails) nail biting, and may be prevented with proper moisturization of the skin. Soaking in an oil-and-water solution, as you would when getting a manicure, is very helpful. Mix 4 capfuls of bath oil such as Alpha-Keri with 1 pint of warm water and soak your fingertips in it for 10 to 15 minutes. If you're having a lot of problems with hangnails, rub an emollient cream or ointment on the affected finger at bedtime and wrap it in a piece of plastic wrap. Secure the end with a bit of tape. The plastic will keep the moisture in overnight. Just be sure to remove the plastic in the morning. To prevent hangnails in the first place, moisturize your cuticles every day. Rub hand lotion into the flesh surrounding your nails to keep the area soft. For a more soothing feeling, warm the moisturizer over a pan of warm water, using a double boiler. Every time you apply moisturizer to your hands, take extra time to rub some into the cuticles.

You must soak your nails in an acetone based nail polish remover until the fake nails peel off. You could ruin your own nails if remove them any other way. Or go to your local nail salon.

My fave past-time, when I was a kid ... that is, until my sister put crazy glue on my two favorites ( blue and red). I had to walk around ... with a sharpie sticking outta each nostril, for two whole weeks. It made eating really difficult, not to mention the stares I got from the other kids at school. I think it left me traumatized for life ...  *sob*

Get acrylic nails.  After 40 years of biting this worked for me.  You can't bite them because they're too hard.  It's well worth the price and they look great.  Worked for me.

Yes, for obvious reasons. Buffing them removes part of the nail, when you remove part of the nail the result is that it is thinner. Now if you ask HOW much thinner that's a different story. It probably just removes a TINY amount so buffing everynow and then should be fine; over doing it could result in injury though.

1.  There are no zinc nails....zince is too soft to use for nails..\n2. If there were, it would depend on the size of the nail, the ambient temperature, the type of soda etc.
