From Wikipedia:';It has also been said to strengthen nails and hair. However, there is little scientific evidence to support such an assertion, one which may be traced back to Knox's revolutionary marketing techniques of the 1890s, when it was advertised that gelatin contains protein and that lack of protein causes dry, deformed nails. In fact, the human body itself produces abundant amounts of the proteins found in gelatin. Furthermore, dry nails are usually due to a lack of moisture, not protein.';Is it true that Jello is good for you're hair and nails?
yupppIs it true that Jello is good for you're hair and nails?
Not Jello. Gelatin.
gelatin... yes. JELL-O... no. Jell-o is gelatin coloring, flavor, and unneeded sugar... gelatin is... gelatin... get KNOX gelatin , it is nothing but gelatin... you can add it to any liquid and have a healther, more natural jello. I add it to water and eat like 5 times a day, makes my hair and nails shiny and strong.
doubt it - jello is basically gelatine, colouring and chemicals....doubts its good for anything!
water/calcium/vitamins are the best for hair and nails and skin!

About how long does it take to get acrylic nails put on? To get them filled?
New set for the first time takes about an 40-45 minutes, depending on the salon or nail place. Fills take about 30-40 minutes. I get mine done about every 2-3 weeks. Mine take longer because the lady who does my fill creates a flower design on my ring finger on both hands. I'd rather have the manicurist take longer %26amp; have them look nicer than to have someone do them quickly %26amp; have mistakes %26amp; an ugly fill or set.About how long does it take to get acrylic nails put on? To get them filled?
around an hour to get them put on, but it depends if youre getting color powder tips, or just getting them painted. the color powder takes a little longer than just getting them painted. fills usually dont take as long, maybe 45 min.About how long does it take to get acrylic nails put on? To get them filled?
Depends on who's doing it and how good they are at it. Anywhere from 45 min. to an hour. And a fill is from anywhere between 15 min. to 30 min. But, Gel is so much prettier and stronger too. A bit more expensive though.
45 min. to put them on.
10 min. to fill them in.
It depends on who's doing ur nails,glueing on the tips r really quick. But when u put the acrylic it takes about a few seconds 2 spread it on the nails. I don't know how long it takes 2 get a fill in, because i have've had any i've just had the acrylic nails.But i know when u get the acrylic nails u're need a fill-in in 2 weeks.
DONT DO IT, it just cost losts of money every 2 weeks and when you get to take them off your real nails are paper thin for a very long time and they look bad!!
If you do go through with it dont keep them on for more than a few months, you could even get fugus under your real nails
On the average it takes about an hour and refills are done every two weeks in about 20 minutes. have a nice day

Artificial nails need to be touched up every few weeks. If you are trying out a do-it-yourself fake nail kit, be sure to follow all the instructions carefully. Gel nails are popular with most first-timers to artificial nails, as they are easier to apply and set. They differ from acrylic nails in that they have a different appearance and curing procedure. They are relatively odor free and natural looking too. Gel nails are applied like a thick paint over the natural nails. They are then cured under UV light in a curing box. In a few minutes, you can enjoy shiny and strong fake nails. Gel nails are much glossier than acrylic nails but may not be as tough and hardy. They are thin and flexible and crystal clear.
Acrylic nails are usually a combination of liquid (monomer) and powder (polymer). Pink and white acrylic nails that lend a permanent French manicure look are often referred to as 鈥榮olar nails鈥? Acrylic nails are probably the strongest among all the artificial nail options but they too need to be applied with finesse to appear natural and beautiful. Removing acrylic nails is done with acetonitrile 鈥?a toxic chemical that is likely to irritate the respiratory system. Artificial nails need to be maintained every two weeks. It is necessary to touch up or fill in the area near the cuticle 鈥?at the spot where the natural nail has grown. This is essential to avoid moisture and bacteria breeding in that crevice.

women dont '; chew their hair '; or '; jiggle their legs '; and even guys bite their nails , its a habit most people have .
so dont think just '; women do it ';
and i never heard of any women chewing their hair or jiggle their legs.
and if they do . they must be fcked upp !Why do women chew their hair play with it jiggle their legsbite their nails?
I would have to say out of nervousness or anxiety,biting your nails is one of the worst habits to have in my opinion,so many germs are carried beneath our nails.
i have never heard of anyone doing that...ever.
except biting your nails which people do when theyre nervous or uncomfortable

Will it traumatize my guinea pig to get her nails cut at the vet?
if its not even necessary i dont want to do it, but her nails do look pretty long...Will it traumatize my guinea pig to get her nails cut at the vet?
No it will not traumatize her. She may be mad for a few hours but that is it. When I have guinea pigs I always got their nails clipped at the vet since I was too chicken to do it myself.Will it traumatize my guinea pig to get her nails cut at the vet?
um i dont think so.....i have 3 rabbits,
and it might be easier for your guinea pig if you clipped them yourself.
and it would be cheaper.
if they are getting long they need to be cut because eventually it will
make it to where they will be walking sideways on there toes.....
(thats what happend to my rabbit..... they get very uncomfortable.)
if you go to petsmart or wal-mart you can buy some rabbit or guinea pig nail clippers for 4 or 5 dollars and usually they have instructions on how to clip there nails.
but if they look long they problaby are.....
well good luck!!!
hope it helps!!!!!!!!!!!!

Acrylic nails on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! Please read it. I need tips?
I am getting some on saturday
Can you please give me tips on how to keep them nice and clean, andgood looking, so that they are not ruined before I get them filled. Basically, just tips to make them last longerAcrylic nails on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! Please read it. I need tips?
First of all, for the poster who said that acrylics will leave big grooves, this is not true. The grooves, or rings that you see is from two things: Improper use of an improper drill (Dremels are used in the Asian salons - AKA, discount salons - they are made for woodworking, and NOT for use on nails). A qualified, well trained and experienced nail tech will NOT cause damage to your nails. DIscount salons are notorious for doing this type of damage. Also, a true nail professional will never use a Dremel. They will use, if they don't hand file (isially the preferred method), a high quality electric file. In terms of cost, a Dremel costs them about $50, a good electric file will run anywhere from $300-$500 , and more. You can easily tell the difference between them. If you see a small, round shaped, black drill hanging upside down on a hanger, it is a Dremel. An electric file is usually a small rectangular shaped box which fits on the nail table, and does not hang from anything.
You should stay far away from these 'discount' salons. You will know that it is a discount salon if: They have ridiculously low prices ($15-$25 for full sets, and $10-15 for fills), no appointment is necessary - entirely a walk-in basis, there is a BIG language barrier - read: you cannot maintain a conversation with them, nor ask them any questions (not always the case, but usually it is this way), they use the same, dirty files and implements for each customer, and so on. They do more damage than good.
My advice is to make sure that you are going to a reputable, licensed nail technician who is experienced, and well trained, and also has good sanitation practices. You are NEVER supposed to use a file on another client which has touched the natural nail of someone else, for example. Also, good salons require appointments, and also charge more because the service is better, the nail products are top quality, and are in marked containers with the label easily seen. (the discount salons use cheap garbage for acrylic products and use unmarked containers for their liquid and powders) among other things.
To answer your question, you simply need to take good care of your new nail enhancements. You should not use them as can openers! Avoid banging them against things. Be gentle on them. Also, if you are getting acrylic nails, they are made of a porous material. With that said, they will absorb things readily. So, if you choose to use polish, especially dark colors, always use a basecoat. If you do not, then the color can stain your nails. Be sure the technician applies it as well.The best basecoat, IMO, is made by Creative Nail Design and is called ';Stickey'; For pink %26amp; whites, you can either buff them to a high shine (if they do not use a UV top coat, or any other topcoat), or you can apply a high quality topcoat every few days to keep them looking nice and shiny. By high quality, I mean brands like OPI, Essi, China Glaze, Color Club, and there are a few more. Avoid the cheapies. But in my own opinion, I think that, hands down, the absolute best topcoat is ';Seche Vite Dry Fast Topcoat'; (excellent shine, fast drying). And runner up is ';Out The Door';. These are the two best, IMO.
Using cuticle twice daily will help your nails stay in shape too. A very good one is ';Solar Oil'; from Creative Nail Design. You can find this in drug stores like CVS, about $9 a bottle. Put a couple drops on each nail and rub it into your cuticle area, and into your nails too. It will penetrate the nail, and help to keep it moisturized.
Hope this helps. And have fun! Remember, getting your nails done should NEVER be painful in any way at all. Ever. If the nail tech is causing you any pain (usually from improper filing), you are not getting them done correctly, and chances are that the tech is simply not qualified to do the job right. Do not let them use a 'Dremel' on your natural nail. This will cause damage to it. This is THE cause of the 'grooves' I mentioned earlier.Sometimes it can create a lot of damage which will take forever to heal. If it happens, you will often be able to see what are called ';rings of fire'; through the acrylic nail. They look like semi-circular rings which are close together, and are mostly found at the cuticle area. Don't let this happen to you. They might tell you they have to do it to make the acrylic bond to the nail. That is bull. All that is needed is a little bit of gentle hand filing. Just enough to take the shine off of the natural nail, and no more than that, or you risk damage, and even the possibility of infection of the nail plate. And that can take months to recover from.
Just make sure you are going to a good, reputable salon. Trust me, keep far away from the discount salons. They are NOT worth the risks you will take by going to one.Acrylic nails on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!! Please read it. I need tips?
I would suggest getting some gel nails in the do it yourself section. These are nice looking and pretty durable. The difference is they won't ruin your nails. Acrylic will leave big grooves and stuff when you take them off. They can really mess your nails up. Go to Wal-Mart and look at all the different options. There are other things you could considergloss

Someone told me that eating a cube of unmade up jelly a day makes your nails grow better, any truth in it?
I remember hearing this way back.
What is jelly? Gelatin. And what is gelatin? Apparently collagen and cartilidge derived from animals so I think it does contain nutrients that strengthen your nails, and is probably very good for your skin too.
I think unmade jelly tastes great. If you like the taste yourself, why not do it on a month or 2 month's trial, and see for yourself?Someone told me that eating a cube of unmade up jelly a day makes your nails grow better, any truth in it?
My nan used to tell me that too. Not sure how much truth is in it, but it's a good excuse to eat it anyway.Someone told me that eating a cube of unmade up jelly a day makes your nails grow better, any truth in it?
I've heard this too! Why not try it - it's one of the nicest beauty secrets I've heard!!
Deffo worked for me, ive bit my nails for the last 20 years, now i eat a cube of jelly and soak my nails in warm olive oil every other day and there long and strong!
Was that the same person who sold you the magic beans?!
no Truth whats so ever. Milk is the best form as it contains calcium - which everyone knows it is good for your bones - ie hair and nails.
Some people will say anything just to say it. Huh.
No it is not true
Complete urban myth
no i doesn't its just a bunch of hoopla if you ask me.
Heyah
Someone Told Me That Too LoooL
Ermm Im not too sure actually does anybody know ??
Happy New Year (( 2008))
naa, thatll just give u the shits xxx
This is just a myth that ran around the beauty circle for decades. It has now been proven that jelly/jello does not help your nails grow. A better choice is to get more protein in your diet, which can help.
