Peeling Nails?

In the past one or two months my nails have begun peeling like crazy and I don't know why. My diet hasn't really changed in the past year, and my other habits are pretty much the same too. I've tried using strengthener and hardener, but nothing seems to work and they keep peeling.


This has never happened to me before ... what can I do so they stop peeling?Peeling Nails?
Onychorrhexis are brittle nails which often split vertically, peel and/or have vertical ridges. This irregularity can be the result of heredity, the use of strong solvents in the workplace or the home, including household cleaning solutions. Although oil or paraffin treatments will re-hydrate the nail plate, one may wish to confer with a physician to rule out disease.Peeling Nails?
If your hands are in water a lot, and if you have ruled out nail fungus, then use a good nail polish, a good couple of coats to cover the nails and protect them. Wear gloves when doing dishes, or other wet work. This will help a great deal.

How do i peel my 4 day old nails?

i was told not to clip but peel, i have a hard time doing that because he moves so much..could you tell me a technique i could use?How do i peel my 4 day old nails?
I don't understand why you can't clip them, but a file should work.


..How do you BITE a babies nails..?How do i peel my 4 day old nails?
I was too scared to do anything with his nails when Lukas was newborn. We just kept scratch mitts on.





After a couple of weeks I was brave enough to clip them with nail clippers (while he was sleeping... that's the easiest and safest way).





I think the advice is different depending on where you are and who it's from, but I've heard you should nibble them and also that you shouldn't nibble them or peel them as there have been cases where parents accidentally rip off the whole nail! Likewise, with clippers you're less likely to rip off the nail, but there's always a chance you'll nick the finger.





I always preferred to use baby nail clippers as I tried peeling once and was too scared to pull it in case I'd gone too far and hurt him. Wait until his hands are a little bigger and he's sleeping and see what you're comfortable with doing.
I clipped one of my son's nails CAREFULLY, and then realized that I had pinched his skin anyway. It didn't bleed, but I definitely clipped as much skin as fingernail. Since then I have been filing his nails really gently when needed, peeling them after they start to peel on their own, and using mittens the rest of the time. It's okay to wait for them to grow out enough to see what you are doing, as long as you protect the baby's little face from getting scratched.
I wouldn't peel the nails-try biting them. Why can't you clip them? I mean don't do it if it says it-always listen to the doctors but I have a 2 week old daughter and I haven't heard of it and they didn't say anything and I have been clipping them. I also have her wear mittens all the time too. Congrats on your little boy!
i used a nail file for the first few weeks as i dint want to cut them but at the hospital i was adviced by the midwife to bite in to one side of the overhang of the nail then peel it across but i was worried about taking to much off
I think you got it wrong.





Usually they say not to peel, but to clip them. Don't people them, you can end up peeling them to far and it could hurt. Baby nails are very thin and delicate. I would get a baby nail clipper, and clip them while your baby is sleeping.
for the first couple of weeks, the baby's nails are pretty soft, yet can do lots of damage on their skin...i used a baby nail file to just round out the sharp edges. I didn't start clipping his nails until probably after a month old because I was nervous and the file was working pretty well. I never peeled his nails..that sounds like it may cause hang nails...
Don't peel them, doing so could result in them getting too short. The best way to shorten nails on a baby is with a baby nail file, when he's asleep gently file the nail. If you do it while he's awake it may be difficult.
i wouldnt peel bc u might peel to much off. you can file the nails down. i didnt clip my sons nails till he was about a month old. i tried biting and i couldnt. thank god there are mittens.
I dont know about peeling but if your not comfortable to cut them you can also bite them. I could never do that bc it grossed me out but a bunch of my friends did that for their kids
We used the baby clippers on him when he was sleeping. That was the only time our wiggle worm was wiggle free :)





When he was tiny we just used the little hand covers because I was too afraid to cut him.
make sure they are wet first than it will be much easier!!! If you trust yourself bite them off it not bite the end and then peel them away!!! If they were long though...i will probably clip my baby 4get wat da doc says!!!
We didn't clip his nails until they were harder. They are to soft. If you have to just file them down with a baby nail file!
i won't clip my daughters nails cause it catches her skin. i can't file them she moves to much. i just bite them when she is nursing
Bite them yourself! I have never heard of clipper use being disallowed. As long as you are careful, what's the problem?
do it when they're sleeping.
I always bit my infants nails. its SO much easier.

Gel Nails......why does the paint peel off?

So I got my nails done is gel about 3 weeks ago beautiful!!! but then I went to get a fill and they look great but the paint is just peeling off?????? Why... are you susposed to use a base coat with gel or what please help so I can fix them!Gel Nails......why does the paint peel off?
just dont get them in gel... i dont know why but it always peels off

I like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?

I don't know why, but my nails always peel and are exceptionally thin. If I drum the table with my fingers, the nails start to bend and it is just hard to be a 12 year old with really short fingernails for some reason. My mom told me I need more vitamin E. If that is true, what do I do to get it, and if there is any other way to get thicker, stronger, nails, please do tell. thanks for your help!I like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?
You do need more vitamin E and you can get pill supplies in a pharmacy :)


And also,you could use nail hardener to strenghten your nails,thats what I do.


Makes them all nice and non-brittle ;DI like to have long, natural nails, but they always peel and are too thin?
the fastest and easiest AND cheapest way to get stronger nails is by using tea tree oil nail strengthener. You can get it at Whole foods or maybe a gas station if your lucky
Been there done that.


Don't worry about it, hon.


My name is Angie %26amp; I'm 14.


I have really nice, long, pretty nails.


The secret? Apply a clear coat. Yes, that simple. Lol. It works for me %26amp; my gal pals. Or you can go to a nail Studio, and ask them for the Bethany treatment? Lol. That's what I do. The Bethany treatment is a cool, Vitamin E syrum, and it spreads on.


Otherwise, don't worry. Being 12 is NOTHING like being 19
Hey!


Well, my friend has naturally long nails, and they kept on peeling and snapping off, but since she has stopped wearing nail varnish, they have become much stronger, I think there must be some sort of chemical in nail varnish to make the nails weaken.





But, if you were to use nail varnish, I think wearing a clear strengthening one would be your best bet.








Yes, your mom is right, Vitamin E does help strengthen them, you find Vitamin E in are mostly nuts like almonds, if you don't like them, just take Vitamin E supplements.





Hope I helped!
rub garlic everyday before going to bed.........my mom made me do this cuz I used to do nail biting and after that they became so weak but after doing it they became strong.......drink milk it also helps





answer mine plz

1:


Use gloves when washing dishes or using harsh chemicals. This will keep the nail bed from getting too wet and causing the nail to become weak. If you are not able to use gloves, minimize the amount of time the nails are wet and dry them immediately after they have been exposed to water for long periods of time.


2:


Apply a thin coat of clear nail hardener over fingernails at least twice a day to help make the fingernails stronger. Do this for seven days consecutively, then remove the hardener and reapply a thin coat again, starting with day number one.


3:


Drink milk or take calcium tablets daily to help the body in making the nails stronger. Even a multivitamin with a significant dose of calcium is beneficial in the effort to make fingernails stronger.


GOOD LUCK

HOW TO MAKE YOUR NAILS GROW LONGER %26amp; STRONGER!!!!








Nails are an important part of a woman's appearance. Well-kept nails say that a woman know was how to to maintain her appearance and cares about her looks. A woman who takes pride in her looks is often admired by both women and men. For these reasons, we want to keep our nails as strong and beautiful as possible, so that we can maintain that elusive appearance of sophistication





Another reason to be concerned with your nails help it because it says a lot about how your body is doing. A healthy body will produce healthy nails, no matter what. If your nails are weak and breaking it is a sign that your body is most likely lacking in nutrition to the. When your nails are doing badly, so is your health.





Obviously you'll need to improve your health in order to improve the appearance of your nails. It is a must to have a well-balanced diet, lots of water to drink and regular exercise. Without these three things, your nails will fail to thrive. The proper nutrition helps them grow long and strong, and water keeps them flexible set, and provides moisture so that they don't turn brittle. Exercise will circulate oxygen throughout your body, which helps nutrients make their way to your nails.





Now that we've covered the basics you may want to learn some more advanced ways to keep your nails healthy and beautiful.





Oil is absolutely wonderful for nails. Vegetable oils or evil oil will penetrate into your skin or nails and lock moisture in. I suggest regular cuticle and nail massages with emu oil. Doing this will keep your nails strong, lubricated and very healthy.





You may also need to rethink your nail polish habits. If you wear nail polish every single day, your nails will never get the chance to breathe because the nail polish forms a solid barrier. Nail polish and remover are also known for being very drying to your nails.





As a remedy, I suggest that for every two manicures you get, should have at least three days of ';nail polish rest'; so that your nails can have a chance to recuperate and breathe.

I PEEL (not bite) my nails. I REALLY want to stop! Help?

I have a nailbiting message board at:





http://members.aol.com/Roseb441702/nailbite.htm





Read a few of the comments and you will see that you're not alone. I'm a nailbiter myself and I think that a lot of it has to do with nerves and stress - plus a lot of people have said that its just something to do with their hands.I PEEL (not bite) my nails. I REALLY want to stop! Help?
keep a nail filer near you all the time, it helps. use a fine one otherwise you might get carried away and not have any nails.





or you could just paint them
  • apply eyeshadow
  • I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?

    They make my nails hurt too. Take them off with acetone and let them soak off do not force anything.





    If you leave them on they will stop hurting in a while. But it sounds like you have thin nails like mine if you choose to leave them on take them off in a week or two.I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?
    That nail glue you used sticks pretty firmly to your real nails, so if you pull them off, it will take the top layer of your nails off with them. But it'll do that anyway whether you do it now or wait awhile. If you do it right now though, it won't be a pleasant feeling, it will hurt because the nail glue is so fresh on your nails. I'd wait awhile before doing it, unless you don't mind pain.I just put on fake nails like 15 mins ago, but can i peel them off already without hurting my real nails?
    No I dont think you can unless you really want to spend a lot of time with rubbing alchol taking off the glue, I wouldnt because the glue will be stuck to your nail and will stay there for about a week. But if they must come off then I guess it is possible.
    no because if you do it wrong you can rip your cuticals badly and your nail may rip also with your cuticals trust i know you have to let them do it or use some nail polish and put in a bowl and put your hands in it until they come off





    good luck
    i think if you either soak them in acetone they'll come off. Check the back of the box and see what the label says on how to do that.
    you dont have to put your hands in anything those glues arent that good so just move your fake nail up and down and it'll peel off right away


    or if that doesnt work put your hand under warm water and peel it off
    id say take a hot shower first, then you should be able to peel them off, but of course its going to cause a lil pain.
    The oil on your nails is probably letting them slip off. you need to use a nail buffer before you glue them on
    all u have to do is soak Ur fingers in warm water for about 5 to 10 minuets and they should come off easily!
    soak your fingers in nail polish remover it will help slide them off easier.
    use acetone=)
    i wouldnt try it if i were you! it;s gonna hurt! but yeah try acetone. WHy would you do such a thing??????????
    unless they are still wet. otherwise, no sorry.
    dip them n nail polish and let the glue break down
    why would you do that?

    Peeling Nails?

    For a good few months (can't remember how long) the top layer of my finger nails have been peeling off leaving them thin %26amp; easily breakable. It only peels off around the tips, %26amp; are less easily peely the further towards the bottom of my nails (towards the cutlicles) they get.





    I tried just growing it out but it hasn't worked. I'm guesing I'm lacking something (my boyfriend thinks calcium).





    Anyone have any ideas or what I can do to stop them peeling?Peeling Nails?
    You need to feed your cuticles hun, your nails are dead and a by product like your hair so painting any ';wonder varnish'; on them wont make a blind bit of difference!!!!


    You can get oil or cream something high in lanolin will help and it will take about 4 -6 weeks of constant use berfore you notice a difference but once you get there it is easy to maintain.Apply the cream to your cuticles 2 -3 times a day and massage in after a month before you go to bed will be fine!! Now the summer is coming that will also help as the cold will make your nails dry and brittle. If you dont want to spend loads of money on anything vasline will help!!!! and try to refran from using any varnishes for awhile as they also dry out the nail bed, this has nothing to do with lack of calcium!!!! Trust me im a professional!Peeling Nails?
    Calcium will help, but you need to use the one that also has vit d added, you need vit d to absorb the calcium properly. Also try a skin hair an nail combo from Boots, Holland %26amp; Barret etc, specially formulated with the right vitamins and minerals so it should help.





    Try a product such as the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, an oldie but a goodie. It doesn't really heal the problem, but it gives your nails adequate protection so they don't keep peeling.
    Hi sweetie, i have the same problem too !!





    It's caused by dry nails... chemicals from dark colored nail polish, household detergents. Lacking in vit B %26amp; calcium causing our problem.





    Due to this prob, my toe nails are kinda thin %26amp; flaky too-monthly pedicure !! I hardly let them breath a week or two before i reapplying nail polish.I'm afraid of losing my nails too so i'm off nail polish %26amp; no more buffing/ sandpapering my toe nails for a year to let them grow out. NOT EVEN ANY clear coat of base.





    I know some one who's toe nails came off due to our problem. SERIOUS :)
    You obviously have a calcium deficiency. Try drinking a bit more milk and eating more dairy products. in the mean time i reccommend that you try Sally Hansen Strenghtenig Nail treatment. it only costs a few puonds and you will see results within a week. Also most good cuticle balms have olive oil in so you could try rubbing a little bit on your nails as a miosturiser to stop them drying out and peeling. try not to pick them though!


    Good Luck


    Hope i have helped x
    ok first you must must must take calcium orally... this is why they might be peeling. you probably dont have enough calcium in your bod. then take a file and scrub your nails lightly till you get am even coat, then apply sally hanson clear coat for nails. at night time before you sleep... take a garlic clove and try sticking your nails in them for a while then wash your hands, this should make then stronger too.





    hope this helps.
    I had the same problem, until i found out about Nail Envy nail strengthener made by OPI(available in Boots chemist), i have had no problem since i started using it, but if i don't use it the problem soon returns, it isn't cheap though around 拢15 last time i bought a bottle.
    I have the same problem and haven't found nothing good yet. The other day I read amazing comments about this product called Mavala and I will definitely try it!!!
    I have the same problem and have gone from lovely nails last October to peeling horrid little stubs. Have used all the good products such as Nailtiques to feed the cuticle and oiling nails etc. but no luck so far.
    The avon catalog sells a good nail varnish that helps peeling and brittleness, i know this because i have very brittle nails
    go to the store and find those products in the beuty isle, for nails and see if they work! :P

    Have you ever peeled off one of your finger nails (entirely....and fake nails don't count)?

    i did that with my toe nail but it wasnt on purpose..i had a blood blister and it popped off=(Have you ever peeled off one of your finger nails (entirely....and fake nails don't count)?
    Ya, I slammed it in the car door, it turned black toHave you ever peeled off one of your finger nails (entirely....and fake nails don't count)?
    Yes. I smashed one finger with a rock, and the nail bed turned black, and the fingernail came out completely.





    It eventually grew back.
    ya it was soooooo nasty it took forever to grow back


    it waz unbelievably nasty
    yes my thumb nail. it turned black after i got bite by a dog.
    Ew... Ive done this to my pinkie toe,,,, It was by far the most gross and painful thing to happen ever.. YUCk
    i broke my entire nail once but it was an accident and i was little.....
    i didnt peel it off my big toe nail came off from a screen door shutting on it. ew and my middle finger because it closed in a truck door.
    yeah only after it got broke off half way and it was hanging there hurt like a mother!!!
    Not intentionly, I had my finger ripped off in the front door.

    My finger nails are brittle, and peel easily. can anyone help! PLZ!?

    please help! i was thinking this was that iron thing.





    OH! they are also very thin! not strong like most nails, and are turning orange.





    idk if that helps! PLZ help me!My finger nails are brittle, and peel easily. can anyone help! PLZ!?
    My mum is a quallified nail tech and i have also studied it. you should put clear nail varnish on you nails everynight to keep them strong and use rubber gloves while washing the pots and dont keep them in water for long as that makes them more softer....





    hope that helps

    I peeled off my fake nails?

    could I have accidently peeled my whole nail off and just got lucky?I peeled off my fake nails?
    I liked I love soner's answer however taking the nail off is not what damages the nail. What damages the nail is when the nail tech files your real nail really thin so the glue and fake nail sticks better to the real nail.


    They do it every time you get fake nails. There is no way around it.


    Since the nails become so thin and brittle it is very easy to peel off your whole nail when removing the fake ones..I peeled off my fake nails?
    Your real nail?





    Two years ago i had my nails done. Two days later my finger got jammed in a car door and my fake nail along with my real nail got torn off. one of the most horrible pains i've ever felt. you'll know if you did or not trust me. that was the last time i ever got my nails done.





    if you want your fake nails off use nail polish remover with acetone (soaking is most effective- my mom used to soak cotton balls, carefully place onto nail, and wrap nail and cotton ball with foil for 20 min). the acetone will ';eat'; it off and won't damage your real nail.
    When you peel off artificial nails, you can peel off a few layers of your natural nail, leaving them softer and weaker, and more prone to splits and breaks as they grow out
    I peeled off my fake nails too. They are now infected. They are below the quick and very sore. I will never get fake nails again.
    only in little peices.
    Not sure, but i have done that before and never pelled of my whole nail!

    Does anyone else peel their finger or toe nails? Have you found a deterrent?

    i found that putting a layer *or two or three* of that clear 60 second drying nail polish helps...i peel off the nail polish instead of the nail. it really helped me! good luck :)Does anyone else peel their finger or toe nails? Have you found a deterrent?
    No, I do not do that, but in the stores, there are topical applicants that you place on top of your nail and is an easy to use peeler for nail polish or other nail products from your skin. They range from below $10 to around $25.
  • apply eyeshadow
  • Do you clip, bite, or peel off your baby's nails?

    Good luck clipping. That crap is scary! Terrified me the first time and I nearly clipped skin.





    I bite and/or file with a small baby nail file. Works perfect when I'm nursing. This is when she is most relaxed for me.Do you clip, bite, or peel off your baby's nails?
    Depends on the age. Right after they are born you are not supposed to clip them because there nails are like there skin. It is better to file the sharp edges down, but if they have a nail that is already peeling, then peel it off. Once they are over a month, it is usually safe to start clipping them. You can usually tell when they are ready for clippers just by feeling the tips of the nail. If they are hard and not as flimsy, then go with the clippers, but if not, just file or peel them.Do you clip, bite, or peel off your baby's nails?
    My son is 3 weeks old and I file his nails with a little baby nail filer every other day or so (he likes scratching his face when he fusses, so I have to make sure he doesn't have any sharp nails). I am not comfortable using a nail clipper on his tiny little nails yet, and biting them? eh... that would be a bit of a last resort. I only peel his nails when I see a bit of a hangnail, which is usually when he tries to do his scratching bit. I'd recommend filing his nails.
    Oh my! I tried to clip my son's nails when he was tiny, and snipped a bit of the skin off the end of the finger... TWICE! I can't believe I did it a second time. Poor thing, it bled a bit, and he whimpered a bit, but *I* bawled like a newborn that's had it's bum slapped! I felt like such a terrible mother.





    From then, until he was about 10 months when his fingers and nails were bigger, I'd put off doing anything about them for ages, then bite them off. I found it a bit tricky to tear them.
    clipping is just nasty!! i only tried it once and accidentally clipped my poor son's finger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





    i always found the nails a bit tough to bite or peel so i have been using nail scissors you know the kind with the curved blade and cutting his nails while he sleeps so he doesn't wriggle around. it works a treat and you can see what you're doing unlike clippers!
    I don't do any of the above. I use surgical scissors i was given by a nurse friend. They work perfect. And I don't do it while he is awake just because you never know when he just might move and besides why make him suffer and try to keep him still when I could do it when he is sleeping. That is so much more easier and there is no fussing or making him cry. If you can't get surgical scissors then find some type of nail scissors. Good Luck.
    I filed my sons nails with an emery board for the first few weeks. It was the only thing that seemed to make sense when he was that little. I started clipping them when that wasn't enough to keep up with his growing nails. And the idea of biting nails seems less than sanitary to me.
    when my daughter was really young i would peel them as they generally started to lift themselves and now i bite them as there is NO WAY i would put clippers anywhere her wiggly waggly fingers and hands... its a 3 person job clipping our dogs nails nevermind trying to hold down our daughter!!!!
    I cut them with little baby scissors that have a protective edge. I hate to bite her nails and peeling them always leaves little sore bits and man, clippers and me don't go together after a bloody start.
    at the beginning i bit them off since they were so thin. then at about 3 months i used the nail clipper from the emergency kit that helps you not nick their skin. now at 6 months im using the nail clipper with the lil magnifying glass. it works like a charm.
    Clip 'em. They seem to grow soo fast!! Actually, they were long when she was born too! I couldn't wait to go home from the hospital so I could clip them, they wouldn't do it for some reason.
    Both lol i have been known to nibble them off as when she was a newborn i caught her skin and she got an infection in the corner and i felt so bad.
    i clip my babies nails, i know of ppl who bite and peel and i tink that just messes them up and gets them all jagged feeling
    i tried peeling but they kept bending, clipping is easier, just pop baby on your lap, hold hand steady and clip away
    I clip my kids nails. And when they were babies, I clipped them also. I use nail clippers.
    I don't have a baby, but I do usually bite my own fingernails. My toe nails I either peel or clip.
    Honestly, biting and peeling is easier than clipping. It's too easy to get skin caught in the clippers.
    I use nail scissors! Never cut my boys fingers before! Clippers are to hard and biting is horrible i couldnt do it..
    I bite!! yum yum...clipping scares the crap outta me!
    I clip my baby's nails from the time he was born.
    peel he doesnt like the clipers and i wont dare bite them
    bite or peel just sounds bad... I will clip when my baby is born.
    clip and peel


    they grow so fast- it's crazy!!



    clip em..it's hard but i try my best

    I have the world's most horrible nails. They're SO bitten and peeled! How can I stop?

    Everytime I stop for a few days, I start peeling them again. My friend put something called Bite Nail on them, but that didn't work. I'm promised a manicure if I can get my nails nice and neat.I have the world's most horrible nails. They're SO bitten and peeled! How can I stop?
    Okay, this is a serious addiction! I know!


    How I quit was by first keeping my nails as short as possible at all times - less to bite!


    I cleaned my nails A LOT with nail polish remover even if I didn't need it. The smell and taste was not something to enjoy.


    As I got better I let my nails grow out and I got a manicure and once I saw how pretty they were, I couldn't bite them!


    Now I make sure they are ALWAYS painted - it really helps you keep yourself away!I have the world's most horrible nails. They're SO bitten and peeled! How can I stop?
    use a nail clipper first then a nail file then clear nail polish it will look beautiful that's how i do my wife's tow nails the clear nail polish helps it grow stronger
    find something to occupy ur nails and mouth with. chew gum or do something with ur hands if u have to. i used to chew my nails like ALL the time but then i found something to occupy my hands with so that i wuldnt chew my fingernails.
    well i always used to bite my nails and bite my skin around but my mom took me one day to get professionaly nails put on i just got them off a like a few weeks ago and my real nails have gotten really long and i havent bitten them but the fake nails made my real nails look horible but they are growing

    i quit biting nails. now i bite women-lol. joking. i did quit cold turkey. you gotta wanna.
    I used to bite my nails so short and went to a manicurist and got acrily nails. Can't bite those suckers.


    Instantly I had beautiful nails and biteing them is a filthy habit.


    go back once a month for refills and reshaping. Not that expensive and you can have beautiful sexy nails for the rest of your life.
    Keep the moisturized at all times with a nail lactin and then lotion. I bite my nails every now and then as well - it's a nervous habit, but I find that I tend to refrain when I have a lot of lotion on them. Make sure you're always doing something with your hands too - it helps. And I find that working out and taking care of myself physically and emotionally helps me want to have nice fingers...so make it an overall plan!! Good luck!
    you can color your finger nails (if you are a female),once it colored you will be hesitate to bite it.

    It is a habit you have that needs to be replaced with something else until you forget about peeling/biting your nails. Try chewing gum so you cann't easily bite your nails. Put bandaids around the fingers that are in the best condition. Make a daily committment to leaving the trouble fingers alone. Try to keep it up for a month and hopefully you will be less tempted to bite/peel your nails after that. Or you could try having a manicure with tips put on. They're not much fun to bite.

    do your nails nice first then it might tempt u not to bite them and if u still do u can get that like nasty tasting nail polish, but also replace it with a new habit like chewing gum or i always have a barcelet or hair tie around my wrist so that i can figit with that instead of my nails!!
    Try using this stuff. It tastes really bitter, so you won't want to bite your nails anymore. It also helps them to grow back in nice and strong. Good luck!

    Why do my cuticles always peel? I want pretty nails but I always have hang nails!! Any help?

    Lots and lots of lotion, keep them hydrated at all times. Avoid picking or peeling!Why do my cuticles always peel? I want pretty nails but I always have hang nails!! Any help?
    Try filing your nail across so that they will be square at the tips and polish with a clear polish to protect them. Don't pick at them and peel off the polish either. The square look at the tips is the latest and I have found they don't break as easily. Why do my cuticles always peel? I want pretty nails but I always have hang nails!! Any help?
    Biting and picking your nails pushes them into the beds and causes hangnails. I am sure there are other causes but once I stopped doing that it stopped for me. You may be lacking vitamins if they are thin.
    Me too!!!!!! There's some stuff called Nail Tek and I've noticed it makes my nails so much stronger. You gotta remember to use it daily. You can find it at any beauty supply.

    Peeling nails?

    ok so i have been putting nail polish on a lot lately and ever since then my nails have been peeling.





    is this because of the nail polish?Peeling nails?
    how long does it take before you remove the nail polish and put a new coat?





    when nail polish stays too long on your nails, it either turns your nails yellow or results to peeling. Also, use a base for your nail polish. It's usually the colorless type before you put the colored coat. Then don't let it stay on your nails for more than a week. It dries up your nails too.Peeling nails?
    always use a base coat before you paint them.
    I believe nail poilsh has a bit af acidity to it so It could be from it...I'd lay off the polish awhile and see if it gets better.

    How can you help finger nails to be strong and not peel and be fragile?

    i know it sounds corny but drink milkHow can you help finger nails to be strong and not peel and be fragile?
    Apply a coat of nail glue. Nail glue now comes in a bottle with a nail brush applicator so you would brush it on the same way as nail polish. Nail glue is a lot stronger than nail polish though and less expensive in most cases. It also dries smooth and shiny.How can you help finger nails to be strong and not peel and be fragile?
