I just got my nails taken off and my natural nails are rough and are flaking. Is there anything I can do or do they just need to grow out?What to Do About Flaky Fingernails?
Let them grow out some. Meantime rub vasaline aka petroleum jelly over them. Every time you wash your hands, reapply and run your fingers over them as you would do in a massage. Do not use nail polish or anything on your nails until your nails are back to normal. I would also mention this to the M.D. as there may be other issues that may be causing the flaking of your nails. My doctor always checks my nails because I'm asthmatic and just by the color he can see If I'm getting enough oxygen. There are other reasons why doctors check nails which I don't really know of. I hope this was of some help. peace!What to Do About Flaky Fingernails?
I had mine taken off a while ago too. Some recommended me to do some warm milk soaks and I picked up this Sally Hanson treatment made for when you get acrylics taken off. It's this 2 phase thing, you do the first for a couple of weeks and then the second for a couple more. It was really helping til I got lazy and stopped doing it. It only takes a couple of minutes, you ';paint'; the stuff on give it a minute and then rub this oil in that's supposed to help them grow. It's nice also because it makes your nails look better so you're not trying to cover them up with anything. You'll also want to keep them short, like VERY short, otherwise they're just going to break and rip off anyway.
I'm having the same exact problem. I'll bet you anything it's because we're not getting enough protein in our diet. Eat more meats, dairy, and peanut butter! :)

I have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?
You need more calcium, or your nail polish remover is making your nails brittle. You can use lotion on your nails or try nail polish with nylon fibers. That makes them harder and more durable. Never chip off your nail polish and use nail polish remover infrequently. One study has shown that biotin (a vitamin) 2.5 mg a day helps nails.They also make some nail polish that helps make nails strong.
Hope that helps!I have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?
you might not be getting the right vitamins. you can google what vitamins to take for fingernails then get them from like wallmart, it really helps. or try to always keep a coat of clear nail hardener, sally hansen makes good ones. that really helps too, even a colored nail polish will help becuase you wont see the layers tearing off as much and then you wont be tempted to pull at themI have really bendy fingernails, and sometimes they split in half or layers. What does this mean?
you need to file them down and take care of them more. Clip them so they are all one length and once they start growing file them down with a nail filer. It will make sure its all even and nice. It happens to me too when i dont take care of my nails.
you bitee them

How to stop biting fingernails?
So I'm 20 and I've been doing it for as long as I can remember.
It's really a nervous habit if I'm stressed or worried about something, or really even just bored.
I don't even realize I'm doing it, but I hate it.
I want to stop.
Any success stories?How to stop biting fingernails?
Try:
- Chewing gum, so you don't start biting your nails (this will keep your mouth busy)
- There is nail polish out there that tastes bad, and it worked for me!
- Try keeping small, crunchy snacks (healthy!) with you, so if you're tempted, chew on them instead of your nails.
- Keep an elastic band around your wrist, and try playing with that instead of biting your nails.
- Finally, once you stop, treat yourself to a manicure. I know this may not seem ';manly';, but I hate gender stereotypes. Anyone can get a manicure, and your hands will feel great!How to stop biting fingernails?
Go to your local store that sells fingernail polish and look for ';Bitter Nail Polish';. I have never bitten my nails but My brother would chew his down until the bled. He got some of this clear bitter polish and it cured him. It tastes really really bad and when ever you put your finger in your mouth you get a negative response. Classic conditioning technique
u have lack of concentration. when ever u are stressed
1 stand up for a while ,
2 and sit again
3 drink some water slowly.
4 watch the time
5 wash ur face
6 stare at ur face in front of mirror
just relax. while doing these steps u ll spend atleast 10 minutes . its enough to forget nail biting.
I'm 13 and I always would bite my fingernails until about age 11. But by then I had gotten braces, and it felt awkward biting my nails... For you, I suggest heavy gum chewing to stop, a month or two and you'll be fingernail sober!
my dad had the same problem one day when my dad was a sleep my grandma put hot sauce on his fingernails when he bit them it surprised him and sense then every time he goes to bite them he is reminded of the hot sauce and does not do it
Im a teenager and I used to bite my nails all the time.
What you have to do is every time you find yourself biting, pinch or tweek yourself and soon you will stop Believe me
I used to bite my nails all the time, you just have to force yourself to go cold turkey. I got a manicure and my nails looked so nice I didn't want to bite anymore
Listen im also a frequent nail biter .
Ive tryed everything .
And let me tell you , when your nails grow back , they look even worse and more deformed .
Just keep them low
CARRY ON BITING!!
There is bitter tasting polish for this problem.
Also Marshmallow is correct, that system does work for many people.
Eat food not fingernails
put a clear coat of nail polish its very nasty im 17 and that got me to quit
Take some Dog Pu and wipe all over finger nails. I guarantee you wont put them in your mouth again

How to make your fingernails flared??
im doing my fingernails i wanna know if anybody knows how to make them flared out like to where they look like paddles?How to make your fingernails flared??
Flared nails are made from either acrylics, or UV gels. Also, nail forms must be used for this and the product (acrylic or gel) can then be sculpted into a flare shape. You can't use nail tips to create flared nails.How to make your fingernails flared??

Dark bruised marks on my fingers (just below my fingernails) - how can i make them go away?
My fingers used to get itchy and that lead to a lot of scratching. My fingers are no longer itchy but the dark bruised marks are still there from the scratching.
Will lemon do any good? Please list some suggesitons as to how i can make the dark marks on my fingers go away. thanks!Dark bruised marks on my fingers (just below my fingernails) - how can i make them go away?
wow you really were itchy! well i would try lemon and grapefruit and orange and lime and any other citrus juice you can get your hands on because i heard that if you soak you bruises in citrus juices it will make the color of it go away a little bit and then if you keep soaking and just wait it out those bruises are bound to go away!Dark bruised marks on my fingers (just below my fingernails) - how can i make them go away?

Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?
Why or why not?Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?
It all depends on what you mean by public.
If you are sitting waiting to catch a flight, bus, cab or train, I don't think it is.
If you are sitting at a restaurant table, yes it is.
If you are outdoors, no i don't think it is.
If you are at a theater, performance or the like, yes it is.
I would definitely consider the ';public'; place.
Of course it's best to do your filing at home or in a nail salon. But our nails don't always break when we are at home.Do you think it's tacky to file your fingernails in public?
I'd say Rita's got it right. It's tacky to do it when you're in a place where you ought to be giving someone or something else your attention. At those times, it gives off an impression of ';my nails are more interesting than you/this,'; which is rude.
When you're just sitting around though, and there's nothing you should be doing or looking at, it's generally fine.
All private grooming activities should be done in private, unless it is in a restroom. That includes filing or clipping your fingernails, flossing your teeth, putting on makeup, changing your socks, etc.
To pull out the file and do all of your nails is rude. To fix one nail that's been driving you crazy and you just need a quick fix so it stop picking your sweater- is OK%26gt;
Not only tacky but gross. Nails flying all over the place, that is simply nasty. Some things are simply not to be shared with the world and this would be one of those things.
It's never classy to perform bathroom chores out in public.
yes, b/c it's rude and disgusting self centered, did I say RUDE?
