size of 2 pencil tips. maybe 3.
what should i do? any suggestions on what it is?
its on my ring finger , and for the last couple days that finger's felt sore,
but i thought maybe i just accidentally burned it with my straightener..
but that wouldnt cause the spot.
thank you in advance!SPOT! i have this yellowish green spot ..not on my nails but on the skin next to it. the spot is about the ?
thats also happened to me before...twice! its nothing to worry about...it will take time to heal and will probably contain some pus..after about a week just pop it ana ld squeeze the pus out..this will hurt a lot but its worth it...use a facial cleaning wipe to wipe your finger at the end of it and it should begin to heal. you may have a hole where your spot was but after a few weeks this goes as the skin grows back.

Is it true if u put on fake nails your real nails will grow longer?
my friends keep telling me that , but i always say ''PROVE IT '' Is it true if u put on fake nails your real nails will grow longer?
Yes it is true. The reason your nails grow longer is because the artificial nail prevents your real nail from breaking. However, when you take the artificial nail off your nails are weak and brittle. If you take the nails off they will be too weak to keep growing and will break very easily.Is it true if u put on fake nails your real nails will grow longer?
ummm no!! Your friends are clueless. They grow weak and brittle and will break! Don't get fake nails in the hopes of getting longer real nails. Instead, go and get a manicure often and within a week or two you will start to see your natural nails grow long and hard. Even if your nails are really short now, go get a manicure it really helps! Also, take vitamin B6!
They will grow longer underneath the fake nails. Obviously you cant bite, peel, or clip them while they are covered up by the fake ones. Getting fake nails put on can make them very thin, brittle and breakable though.
well yea because you cant bite them, and they cant break. but when you take off the fake nails the might brake then.
yes thats true
no dey just give u temp long nails
i've never heard that before?
lol [:

My nails are stained from fake tan. How can I remove it please?
Try lemon juice - that is usually good with stained nails. Also, I have heard that some people soak their nails using denture soak as it whitens - not tried it, but you never know!My nails are stained from fake tan. How can I remove it please?
Try handwashing some clothes is the sink.My nails are stained from fake tan. How can I remove it please?
have you tried nail polish remover? that worked for me.
pumice stone my friend used it the other day and her hands were a mess!
lemon juice is good or a strong nail varnish remover baby wipes also work
Try peroxide. You can also use one of those buffer files. The 2 sided one... I used to take nail classes, it was a long time ago. There was something in there about using peroxide to remove stains.
Cover it with bright nail polish if all else fails!
place yor fingers in neat acetone for a while and it should remove it easily
try using hair removing cream on a nail brush, it works for me every timemakeup application

What is the white stuff that comes out of the skin on your nose when you pinch it hard with your nails?
it creeps me outWhat is the white stuff that comes out of the skin on your nose when you pinch it hard with your nails?
its sebum, and i think it also indicates that there is excess oil and dirt on your face. it will develop into whiteheads/blackheads if nothing is being done to it!
prevention is always better than cure, i learnt my lesson the hard way!What is the white stuff that comes out of the skin on your nose when you pinch it hard with your nails?
It is called sebum, it is the skins naural oil that you need to stop you from turning into a prune like thing. We all have it and it keeps you looking young!

Wouldn't a house be a lot stronger if it were built with screws instead of nails?
Actually NO. True, screws ';thread'; into the wood and grip very well. HOWEVER, screws by their design are more apt to break or shear. Additionally, nails have a higher tinsel strength in the steel used to make them and if properly selected, have a coating to give them additional bond to the wood. Contact a reputable home builder in your area...some answers they provide will surprise you.Wouldn't a house be a lot stronger if it were built with screws instead of nails?
Have you recently priced the costs of screws versus nails and the cost of a worker using a nail gun versus one driving screws? We are talking about major diffferences in money, both materials and man-hours. Then there is the efficacy issue. Yes, houses would be stronger. However, most of us don't live in areas in which we experience level 7 earthquakes, so we don't need that strength -- nails work well in this case.
As long as nails work, and are the cheaper option, people are going to want to spend additional money on things which really serve aesthetic purposes, such as expensive carpet, fancy moldings, and surround sound.Wouldn't a house be a lot stronger if it were built with screws instead of nails?
yes, there are a lot of things to make a house a home, but those are not the things that sell houses
The Florida Man is right on the money. We use screws in residential construction for installing drywall and cabinets. Try pulling the coated nails sometime and see for yourself. Especially the ring shank nails.
Yes, but the framing time would be quadrupled or more. They use nail guns that put a nail into the wood in a split second. With your best power driver, a screw will take several seconds. Screws are also more expensive.
I personally rarely use nails when I work with wood. I prefer the strength of wood glue and screws.
I agree with Forida Man except screws are still stronger than the wood they are holding.
If you nail a board down, it will come back up easier than if it was screwed down. If, however, you twisted the board, the nails would bend whereas the screws would probably break.
In either case, though, the damage has been done and the board will probably need replaced but the screw head can be removed much more easily that the nail.
Screws are better but take MUCH longer and more expensive.
I agree with answer # 2
This falls into the same category as the use of more or thicker wood. Chances are your entire neighborhood is made of homes with nailed 2x4s or 2x6's forming the support structure. Such houses have withstood the test of time over the years. So, your house would be stronger with screws but it would be stronger than it needs to be to withstand the test of time.
no if you are building the frame you only need screws for the drywall
Yes, but screws are more time-consuming.
When my mom's ex-bf redid he house, he used screws instead of nails for the dry-wall. It look longer, but they won't work their way out and leave marks in his wall or loose drywall panels later.
This is a common misconception, the truth is no, Nails have a stronger base than screws. My husband is a contractor and is always answering this question. Carpenters nails are very strong!
who cares most houses can last over a 100 years with no problems.
No, if built correctly, theoretically, you would be able to pull all the nails out and the house still stand. When building, all the stresses of the structure should put the nails in shear stress only. If they are in tensile stress, the house is being built wrong. If it's built wrong, screws aren't going to help much.
