"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!

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.

I say fake is the way to go.. the longer the better hahahah !!
I like my nails longer than my hair.. that's just me. I do solar most of the time because they don't lift like acrylics when you swim everyday like I do but any fake nails can be made short too so that they don't get broken. Its all about preference f1~ |

Its all about preference f1~[/QUOTI am just putting this out there, more as a FYI so please dont be offended. I hate to be a debbie downer....but please becareful with nail care especially if you have artificial nails...I know! I know! you are thinking, "but damn I look good!" And sweetie ya do! But especially in recent times with the rise of community acquired staph infections, artificial nails have been proven to harbour bacteria and can provide and easy route of transmission. Some of these staph infections have been know to put ppl into the hospital. I am a nurse and and for years they have shook a naughty finger at those of us who like to wear artificial nails...but in these recent years they are banned on those persons who have direct patient contact. So just some food for thought! Please take care of your nails rather they are artificial or not. For us natural nail gals...we arent free from insult...having chips in your nails or nail polish may also harbour these bacteria....just not quite as many places for the mto hide as with the artificial nails...Again not trying to offend...just providing some info..you can go to the CDC website if you would like more info.....

I won't credit the prenatals entirely with the change, though, because at the time I was experiencing the hair loss and breakage, I was in a very stressful home environment and, as I was taking the vitamins, I got myself OUT of that situation (which was the source of the majority of my stress and stress causes all kinds of health problems, including hair loss). You're right though. I have a right to green pee! I should write the company and ask if they make a fun, green pee-making vitamin.

Neosporin works great on cuticles and cracks on hands.
I do get manicures maybe once a month, because pedicures help my feet hurt way less, and since I am there..... Sally Hansen makes good products, but OPI has the best in my opinion. I have really bad hangnails unless I have on at least one coat of polish, not sure why, but polish really helps. I think Sally Hansen makes one that is just natural and makes your nails look buffed, not sure the name. They also make great cuticle cream. I like a single coat of light finger nail polish with a top coat beacsue I work in an office and a dark color gets all over my papers and shows chips more quickly. Good luck! PS...for you worriers, yes I make sure my salons are accredited and have great safety scores.

I love the solar look but have used Fiberglass and Silk. My nails are long and I keep an overlay on them to protect them. I'm in the salon a minimum of 4 times a month for mani/pedi's. I have recently tried MINX and think its something I would do on Holidays and probably only on my toes.  |

I have 'gel nails', french manicured with brilliant white tips, medium long that I get 're-newed' every four weeks.
For soft hands: use some plain white sugar and add almond oil. Rub in, until sugar is dissolved and rinse. Leaves 'em really, really soft, gives your nails a nice shine and is great for cuticles too! Kat

I love clean fingernails, regardless of gender! I prefer to do my nails/pedicure myself. A few yrs. ago I got a fungus on my toe from a nail salon and it took forever to clear it up. I love the French manicure look, as it makes my hands/toes look so clean and fresh!

I'm one of them there girly girls...and I have acrylic nails..they are short to look like real nails. Im a teacher I dont' want long fang nails and I can't type on the computer with them. SOmetimes its hard to tell if mine are real or fake.
I go every two weeks to get them done. IF that is not up your alley..i think going every month or so to get a simple mani, where they clear coat your nails and just shape them is good.
