Smile "Nail" me!

Okay. I'm woman enough to admit it: I've never taken care of my nails. I need help. I've done some research and I've found some videos on youtube (they've got EVERYTHING on that site!), but with the bevy of femmes on this site I figured I have access to my very own panel of experts.

Any advice for this poor ole country girl?

Yes, if you're a hardworking girl such as yourself it must be a challenge!

My number one problem is that my nails break at the slightest provocation. I'm sure I can improve that a little if I get the right products. They're healthy, just fragile.

Number two problem - and I'm currently trying to deal with this - is my cuticles. If I could sell them by the pound I'd be a rich woman. If only Madge were still around today! (if you're under 45 you probably won't "get" the Madge reference - that's for us "mature" women! )

I love my claws....

If you pop vitamin e pills, the oil on your nail it helps them, cuticles and all..

I am always moving my hands or using them so I tend to break my claws if they get to long...

as for your predicament morningstar..

I would suggest finding a counterpart that likes you for you, and then nailing them as hard as you get nailed....

Well yes I agree it would be nice to be nailed by a gentlemen...but then would a gentleman really "nail" you..hummm food for thought!!

Now as for them nails...
I am a nurse and in water all the time and those purell sanitzers dont help much. Keeping your hands and nailbed well lubricated (heheheehehe) i know i am bad...but it helps...I like the goldbond products they dont leave the wet, overly lubbed feeling...as I am applying said lotion to the hands I am also massaging my nailbed and cuticles. I do this while at a red light in the car, or watching TV and after shower and oh ues doing dishes. That seems to help especially in the cold weather. I try to be careful with my finances, being single is hard on the purse, so I dont go to het the manicure thing done very often. Instead I have one of those 7 sided nail files which smooth and buff....actually I have found that this really helps to strengthen...my nails tend to be very thin and brittle, the peel and break if you look at them funny. So I do this about every 2 weeks and it helps some. Applying harders everyday will also help...do it while watching the evening news or your fav show....you are sitting there doing nothing anyway. Just some suggestions..I hope it helps. I am going to try the vit E....

This afternoon I was shopping and picked up some vitamin E capsules.

My favorite hand cream is a German product called "Glysomed". It was suggested to me by a woman who produces hand-made evergreen wreaths each fall. She says it saved her hands. Anyone I've ever introduced to it is impressed. It's in lime/forest green flat jar. (not tested on animals)

My favorite nail tool is a glass nail file.They're normally fairly pricey, but my girl found one at a surplus store for Six bucks. Unfortunately it got broken, and I haven't been able to find one as nice since. If you've never tried a really thin glass file then you don't know what you're missing.

To tell the truth, even if I could afford to go to a salon to get my nails done I'm a little bit scared of fungal infections. And in any case I'm really enjoying getting back into the habit of pampering myself a bit.

Any other tips out there?

Enquiring s want to know!

I would love to have long nails but Im way too rough on them. They get broken and chipped all the time so I have resigned myself to having short nails.

They are currently painted "Ruby Pumps" which is a great glittery red

My nails grow fast, strong and for many years I grew my own natural nails. Like Medusa its almost impossible for me to keep them nice, being on the farm, gardening, etc.

Use essential oil
rosemary, tea tree, lemon, vita E

the lemon will help whiten discolored nails. Rub this oil into your nails at night. A few nights a week is enough.

Do not cut your cuticles. They will only grow back more. Take an cuticle stick and gently push them back when you are oiling your nails.

To bring luster and shine- get a file
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/Sephora-Brand-4-Step-Buffer/dp/B000S6BUFA/ref=pd_sbs_hpc_3"]Amazon.com: Sephora Brand 4-Step Buffer: Beauty[/ame]

simply follow the steps- numbers. It will buff your nails to a beautiful sexy shine and all natural. You will love it

I do grow my nails a bit even on the farm but thats mostly to scratch my pets. lol - seriously. I also suspect I'll be using them to scratch a back soon.

Once upon a luncheon.. I heard Ms Medusa say...

"It was the FUCK ME IN THE ASS red nail polish color"

*I* personally avoid that particular color...

I would drip it all over the boys back though for the tapping it from behind visiual stimulation purpose....

That is all...

You never know what you might find when you open up a thread around here.


My tips:
Always use a clear topcoat over your polish.
It's worth it to pay a little more for a brand like OPI because it will last much longer.

go to a horse tack store and buy a jar of corona horse hoof moisturizer. Seriously. Use it every day on your nails..rub it especially on the nail bed. Use it between coats of polish and use it before you put on fresh polish. I am telling you..your nails will be so strong and grow so long!

1. I'm under 45 and I GOT your Madge reference so THERE! *sticks tongue out*

2. Get a cheap bottle of prenatal vitamins. Take half the recommended dose daily. For most brands, the recommended dose is 2 capsules, so only take one. If the usual dose is 1, cut it in half. Take daily for two reasons. One, you need a vitamin anyway, right? Two, the stuff that's good for making babies is good for strengthening and hardening nails. Oh, and your hair will be stronger too!

3. The e suggestion was great! If you run out of those, you can use a creamy, thick lotion every night before bed and rub some on your cuticles. If you can stand it, do the whole hand and then put a soft glove or sock on each hand. I, however, can't sleep with those things on. But some can.

4. Glass files are better than most for your nails, so you are onto something good there. However, HOW you file is as important as what you file with. One direction only is the recommended way. Honestly, I can't do that (I'm a side to side-r) but it is recommended since the sawing motion weakens nails and the bed.

5. Get a manicure. You don't have to do the polish if you don't want to. In my area, a simple mani runs about 10 American bucks. I don't do it all the time, but once I did start "regularly" (once every 8-9 weeks) getting a mani, I noticed my nails were stronger, especially the sides of the nails. The manicurist tends to file them properly, whereas I just do it any ole which way.

6. Use Sally Hansen nail products. They have a hardener that is great. Hard as Nails or something. You can't go wrong with Sally Hansen, though, if the products are available to you waaaay up there.

Well if they're not available waaaaaay up here I can always go waaaaay down south the the United States of America and get some. (I think it's about eight miles)

My usual dietary supplement is apparently no longer being made, but the same company that made my old one is making a new one called Hair, Skin and Nails. It's by OneSource. I'm trying it out now and it seems to be working fine. I haven't noticed a negative result in using it, so I think I'm on the right track.

The pills are an odd color of green and I initially thought I'd have Incredible Hulk green pee (as some supplements tend to add colors you never knew you could produce) but I've been horribly disappointed. Normal pee. Not a trace of green. I'm thinking of writing the company and complaining.
