I have been bitting my nails since i was about 4. they arn'et like realy small but below normail height. How can i stop without using something bitter or nailpolish?Anti-infected nails want to stop nail biting. without using something bitter or nail polish?
Mind over matter... this is really hard of course. It is especially hard because nail biting has become such a habit for you. I stopped biting my nails (mostly) a few years back and below are my tips (note- some are more girl friendly):
Always carry a nale file or clipper with you. This way when a nail breaks, gets snagged, ragged looking, etc. you have a way to deal with it immediately without resorting to chewing at it.
Chew gum or bring some type of small food item with you everywhere to munch on when you get the urge to bite your nails (grapes, raisins, nuts, carrot sticks, peppermint candy if you must). It is likely that you have an oral fixation and while it is not good to trade one addiction/ bad habit for another having something there to curb your impulse to bite your nails can help. Always having a water bottle with you also helps.
Try to reduce your stress levels. Work on time management skills, take a walk every day to calm yourself down- whatever works for you. The less stressed you are the easier it will be to quit biting your nails.
Take care to keep your nails manicured and neat. The better your nails look, the less likely you are to bite them.
I hope this helps.Anti-infected nails want to stop nail biting. without using something bitter or nail polish?
Think of how perfect they will look if you stop.

Which is the better brand of nail polish?
Opi, Essie, or China Glaze? Which one holds up the best? I'm tired of getting crappy polish.Which is the better brand of nail polish?
China Glaze was made for natural nails only. Opi can be used for both. As a stylist and nail technicial, I recommend Opi because it lasts longer than the China Glaze. It seems to be thicker. Just make sure you put three thin coats on to make you nails look their best. I have never used Essie before so I can't tell you anything about it. Also, Chanel makes really great polish. But, it is more expensive than Opi or China Glaze. Hope this helps.Which is the better brand of nail polish?
Opi but i like chanel
When I have my nails professionally done I choose OPI, however when I want to change my polish or do my own nails I buy ido nail polish from Sally's prices are reasonable because Sally's almost always have ido nail polish on sale. OPI is not easy to purchase at your local retailer. If you are looking for a polish accessible to purchase, try Sally Hansen nail care and polish or Loreal.

Opi is good but I actually prefer Sally Hanson.
OPI
I personally think all of them are bad!
Thats why i use No7 nail polish its really good and you can find great colours too.
Opi works the best for me. to lengthen nail polish make sure your using base and top coat
OPI, the best by far.
I've only heard of Opi that you said. But I prefer M-A-C nail polish.
OPI is really good i also like the Revlon 10 day colour stay polish it works really well and it actually stays!
Api
I have always used Essie in my salon. I think they have a great color selection.
When polishing your nails make sure you get the very tip. Brush across the tip of the nail so a little polish goes underneath as well, if it gets on your skin just use a little remover on an old acrylic brush to swipe it off.
Always use a top coat. I re-apply my top coat every other day to keep my manicure looking fresh.
Try OPI or Jessica
Opi works well on me but the best advice I ever got was from my grandmother, and no matter what nail polish she used, it would last a week, even Wet %26amp; Wild brand.
What she would do is clean her nails with nail polish remover, then soap and water. She would have two tumblers full of ice cubes ready. She would polish her nails with one coat, usually red or burgandy, and then hold her hands each in a cup of ice for about 15 minutes, or until the polish hardened. She would do the same after each coat. She'd finish by running freezing cold water over her nails.
I do the same routine whenever I polish my nails, and its never let me down!makeup ideas

What do you think of black nail polish?
i have black nail polish, but i dont know if i should use it or not
im not goth or emo! should i use it on my toes/ finger nails?
or should i not use it at all?What do you think of black nail polish?
I'm not goth nor emo, and I wear black nail polish on occassion, it can actually be very cute and go well with a certain looks. I wouldn't wear it to a Holiday party or anywhere dressy, but for everyday casual wear, such as jeans and sweatshirts, its fine. Have nail polish remover on hand, its no big deal, its not like it is permanet.What do you think of black nail polish?
Personally, I think anyone can rock black nail polish...not just ';goths'; and ';emos';. Usually, I think it looks best on short nails. I always get a black polish that has a little glitter to it, so it looks more girly.
I used to have a friend whose mom wouldn't allow her to wear black nail polish, so she went and got this dark dark dark red color. It almost looked black, but you could see the red tint to it. It was pretty. Maybe you should look into that too.
i use it, and i'm not goth or emo either.
i think thats basically a stereotype, and if somebody says that i'm emo because of my nail polish, thats ridiculous. i use it to paint my finger nails.
the only downside i have with it is that its hard to keep it from peeling and it messes up easily. but that is probably just the brand of polish i've got.
I like it, but only for fingernails. I think it looks dirty on toenails, like they are all infected or something. Gross. Feet are dirty enough, I try and use the cleanest looking colours I can on my toes instead of adding to the yukky.
i dont suggest it, i mean unless it matches ur hair or something, but black nail polish makes u look goth, and i dont like goth. Try some colour more acceptable but not too great ie: flourescant green is a no
Hey! black nail polishes r v.good the r the ones in fashion these days i think u should use .......................i doesn't depend on who u r its what u like???????? if u like it u should wear it no matter what pelople think.....................its in these days after all
I don't understand why people think wearing black nail polish means your emo or goth. I think it's perfectly acceptable. I like wearing black nail polish, especially with sparkle.
Hope this helps!
I love black nail polish! It used to be only for Halloween and goths, but now, so chic! And if you still aren't sure, try out a dark purple or navy.
i say go for it.
kinda ugly
can be ok if you have the right shape nails, and skin colour.
finger nails, i think it'd look fine on you.
I use it. Actually so does my husband. :-) Nothing wrong with a little black polish!
I use it on my toes all the time =)
I think its fine to use...
I normally just use it to paint my toes...
But do whatever you feel like doing
I wear it..and I like it(:
use it.. it's cool!! and match up with red shirt... you're going to look seductive.. lol

Need to take off nail polish, but have no nail polish remover. What can be used instead?
Help please? I have tried rubbing alcohol %26amp; hairspray.
Any ideas?Need to take off nail polish, but have no nail polish remover. What can be used instead?
Check out the garage. Acetone, lacquer thinner and maybe mineral spirits(not sure on that one). If all else fails repaint them with clear polish and quickly wipe it off before it sets. The fresh polish softens the old and you can wipe it off fairly easy. It works, but slow process.Need to take off nail polish, but have no nail polish remover. What can be used instead?
Go to the store...anything else would be horrible!
1. Use acetone to remove the polish.2. Scrape it off using your teeth,or even an old razor.Net time remember to stock yourself up on the remover!
you can do the nail polish on then take off thing but you would waste nail polish...i use a nail file and then buff it then repolish.
acetone
i dont know of anything else. your best bet is probably just to run up to the store and get some remover.
I really wouldn't recommend anything else for the sake of your nails, any other substance may be harsh and harmful to your nails. Why not just wait until you get some?!Or if you really want to cover up the colour you have on at the moment, why not just paint another colour on top?
1) OPEN HOT WATER OR IF IT IS TOO HOT MAKE IT A LITTLE WARM (NOT TOO WARM)
2) LET YOUR NAILS FEEL HOT AND WET
3) RUB YOUR NAILS ONCE AT A TIME WITH THE RUNNING WATER
4) FINISH WITH THE RIGHT HAND THEN WITH THE LEFT HAND
5) TA-DA! YOU SHOULD BE FINE THEN, THE NAIL POLISH WILL BE REMOVED AFTERWORDS!
mmm get achol and rub it on nails it should get off
if alcohol didn't do the trick, your next bet is acetone but you might as well go buy a nail polish remover.
you can buy nail polish and can't buy nail polish remover? its cheaper than nail polish. it cost a dollar.. well, just do some dish washing and use warm water, it will come out not quick but for sure.
Brush some clear nail polish (if you have any) on just one nail at a time. While it is still wet, it will soften the old polish underneath. Before it begins to dry, rub pretty hard with a cotton ball and all of the polish, both old and new will come off.
Rubber oil - but this can be harmful to your nails and it is very smelly.
use nail polish... paint on nail rub off still wet...
can't exactly remember.. i think something like rubbing alcohol. just haveta rub harder.

I found this pretty little brown shade of nail polish, but then it came out a little different on my nails..I can't decide if I like it or not? What do you think? (and sorry about my nasty fingernail, I got bit by a dog awhile back, and my nail is finally growing out)What do you think of this nail polish color?
It's a nice color on you!What do you think of this nail polish color?
BOOKS are better than LOOKS!
I suggest you should spend your time focusing on your schoolwork and education instead of worrying about how your appearance is.
Read, study, and do something fun and educational..its COOL!
I think its really cute!
It looks great on your hands and the color is simple but also classy. It looks great. I really like it.
By the way your fingernail does'nt look so bad. :]
Use it with mabey red
then you brown shade as a stripe going diagonal
Perfect around christmas time
ew. i hate it no offense but i see were your going like i have brown nail polish but it has red in it .
I think it would be pretty with clear over it :]
but yes, I like it
it's cute but i don't think it's right for your complexion though
i think it is cute. but i love all nail polish
put on another coat of it.. its pretty but i think more of a toe color
i think it looks modelish. wear it. it looks ausome!!
