Girls, do you think girls spend more time wearing polish on their toe nails or finger nails?

Please help me settle a bet with my girlfriend. I believe that women spend more time with polished toe nails rather than finger nails, while she believes it is about even. I base my opinion on my own habits where I wear toe nail polish constantly but only polish my finger nails for special occasions and then quickly remove the polish on the first sign of chipping. If you do wear nail polish please give an estimate of the percentage of time you wear nail polish on your toe nails and finger nails. I for instance wear toe nail polish 100% of the time while finger nail polish would be lucky to be 5% of the time. If you do wear nail polish regurlary what is the time frame between coats. I put on a clear topcoat every second day. My most used shade is actually clear followed by red and then a light pink. What is yours?Girls, do you think girls spend more time wearing polish on their toe nails or finger nails?
Well, for me, I'm really sorry, but I have to disagree with both you and your friend.





Cos since you said that you based your opinion on your own habits, may be your friend based HER opinion on HER own habits? So im MY opinion, I don't really think the bet is fair, whoever wins. Cos it's all about opinions. There isn't a right or wrong answer. Get what I'm driving at?





But anyway, to answer your other questions, whenever I go to the salon to do my nails, or paint my fingernails, I do and paint my toes as well. May be it's because I'm the sort of person who cannot tolerate incompleteness?! lol. So if I paint my toe nails, I HAVE to paint my fingernails too, and vice visa. If not I feel incomplete.





And so, in that case, I wear fingernail polish 99.999% of the time, and toenail polish 99.999% of the time. The other 0.001% for both is when I remove my nail polish, and give a spa treatment to my fingers and toes before applying another color.





Okay, my ';nail'; routine is this. First, I would use a cotton ball soak in nail polish remover and remove any excess nail polish that I have left on my nails. Then I would soak my nails in warm soapy water, usually scented with lavander oil. Then I would dry my nails, push my cuticules back, and file my nails. I put a base coat on my nails, let it dry, and then a thin coat of the color nail polish that I want. (Fingers usually being either pink, french manicure, etc. and toes usually being dark colors like deep red or brown, etc.) Once that dries, I put ANOTHER coat of the nail polish and let it dries. And then, I put a top coat on, and yes, reapply it every two nights.Girls, do you think girls spend more time wearing polish on their toe nails or finger nails?
Toenails :]

toes nail
toes, duh it always last longer there.
yes
Toes - definitely. I rarely paint my fingernails (I always paint them green for St. Patrick's Day). My toe nails are usually painted. I go about 5 days with a coat then switch. My most common color is Cherry Red - sometimes I go light pink, copper, and dark blue.
Well, I've actually never thought about it, but I think you might be on to something. My toenails are polished most of the time, including winter, so perhaps 95% of the time. I just recently started painting my fingernails more often, but normally, I would say my fingernails are painted about 40-50% of the time. I use a lot of burgundy and silver on my nails. However, I just started venturing out into using other colors.
I would most definitely say the toes! For one, in the summertime, everyone wears flip flops and even if they don't paint them a color just get a french pedicure...they are still getting PAINTED! No one hardly ';paints'; their fingernails any more.. they just get them done with a french manicure which requires no PAINTING, just gluing and buffing.... By the way, I NEVER PAINT MY FINGERNAILS, BUT MY TOES...I WILL FREAK OUT IF THEY AREN'T PERFECTLY PAINTED (Burnt Orange with glitter or Apple Red) and a CLEAR COAT on top!
sorry, but most women I know polish their fingernails more than their toenails
my finger nails are bare now and thats usually how it stays. My toe nails on the other hand seem to be always polished. more so during summer because of sandles, flip flops. i would say toes 95% of the time every now and then I'll remove the polish but never seem to keep it that way. like dark reds or tans, browns
I wear nail polish on my toes most of the time but almost never on my hands. I'm always doing something with them so there's no point in polishing them because they'd chip in less than a day.
I say toenails!
I cannot stand polish on my nails...its doesn't stay long enough...it always chips and looks horrible...whether its clear or whatever, it drives me....but my toes are ALWAYS painted, I cannot stand to not have my toes painted, it makes me feel half-dressed...I love using pinkish-purple and red on my toes...IF anything is on my nails its clear(I did try color on my nails and it drove me crazy so no more)...
I get pedicures and I always get them painted as a French pedicure. It looks nice, and it stays looking nicer a lot longer than fingers. My nail tech guy told me not to keep the polish on any longer than three weeks at a time and let your nails go bare at least a week in between polishings to recover and keep from getting a nasty yellow stain. Toes all the way last longer!





I love the bold coppers and fire engine reds though! My favorite favorite color is by OPI and it's called ';I'm not really a waitress!';.
toes
I say finger nails. Unless you are the type of girl that wears flip flops year round. But then again it is usally equal cuz if you paint you nails a cetain color your going to paint your toes to match

My finger nails are peeling from the tips? Why? Haven't been doing or using anything different.?

Could be climate changes. Mine do that more in the winter. Nails (and hair) grow faster in the summer because its warm. When it's cold and the wind is blowing and you get all chapped and stuff, your skin and nails and hair dry out and can cause peeling.





Take a multi vitamin, more calcium and back in the day they used to drink gelatin - yuck! I'd rather just eat jell-o thank you!My finger nails are peeling from the tips? Why? Haven't been doing or using anything different.?
My mom had the same problem.


In general, flaking or chipping nails are caused by your body needing more calcium.


If you can, ad a glass of milk or - even better - chocolate milk to your everyday routine. Even chocolate soy milk will help.


Good, old-fashioned nesquick will work the best.


I've been doing it for years now and swear by it - and my mom started about a month ago. For the first time ever she's got long healthy nails now.

Vitamins for healthy finger and toe nails?

Is there an over the counter vitamin that i can take that will improve my nail growth and healthiness?Vitamins for healthy finger and toe nails?
Try Biotin. Its cheap and you can get it at pretty much any store that sells vitamins. You need to take about 5000mcg a day. I do and my nails grow like crazy and are healthy..and my hair has gotten healthier too. Good luck!Vitamins for healthy finger and toe nails?
calcium. get a pill because its hard to get the write amount otherwise. make sure you get one that has calcium, vitamin d, and magnesium. the vitamin d helps absorb the calcium. its best to take at night.
u need lots of protein, eat foods with lots of protein, i dont think u can get protein pills. but u can get protein shakes and crap.
a regular multivitamin will help.

White blob in the middle of my finger nails? What does that mean?

Lack of calcium in your diet.


They aren't permanent.White blob in the middle of my finger nails? What does that mean?
This is the most common form of Leukonychia, small white spots on the nails. Picking and biting of the nails are a prominent cause in young children and nail biters. In most cases, when white spots appear on a single or a couple of fingers or toes, the most common cause is injury to the base (matrix) of the nail. When this is the case, white spots disappear after around eight months, which is the amount of time necessary for nails to regrow completely.White blob in the middle of my finger nails? What does that mean?
You mean that thing that sorta looks like a dent or something, but you can't actually feel it?


I've got that too... I think.


It doesn't affect your finger or fingernail or anything, but it'll grow along with you fingernail, and *if* you cut your fingernail after a while, it'll be gone :)
Its a small bruise that happened before your nail was grown out to the nail. nothing to worry about; maybe you slammed your fingers in something a few months back, and your finally seeing the aftermath.
Lack of Calcium...


You need to stop eating junk food and eat more healthy foods for awhile. Well you should all the time haha!
could be vitamin C deficiency, or vitamin D, i always mix them up, so it's one or the other
that there clean
could mean a fracture to the nail or calcium defieciency
I think it's dead skin. But I don't know.
It means you dont get enough calcium
yeah the person above me should get best answer
i have that on 1 of mine 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Put something on that particular finger ,it will stop u until u lose that habit.I suffer from social anxiety disorder and I always bite the skin sorrounding my finger nails, how can i stop?
Spend more time alone. Or learn to analize your social situations a little. BE aware of your breath, try to find the way to make it last. Meditation or so.
Probably you might have generalised anxiety disorder.it is diffficulkt to make a diagnosis based on your question and your interpretation of social anxiety disorder.





Some of the associated symptoms may include excessive worrying,sweating ,awareness of your heart beat,avoiding situations-like avoiding open spaces with large crowds,fear of the unknown etc.





Some forms of treatments include





Non drug treatments-Counselling to talk and discusss your fears and anxities,desensitisation-i.e graded exposure to the thing/object/situation that you fear.Desensitisation is used to treat phobias(Fears)





2) drug treatments/ medication





Benzodiazepines(Diazepam,lorazepam,alp鈥?etc)treatment%26gt;It is meant to be short term 2-4 weks treatment.Use beyond 4 weeks can lead to addicion and dependence to the drug.





3)Antidepressant medications(like citalopram etc) in a low dose are used in the management of anxiety disorders. The doses are below the requirements needed for treating depression.
when i was young i have this problem too :%26gt; my father paint the ammonia on my finger .....then i never do it again
You are experiencing mild anxiety.


If it`s not possible to stop it ASAP..try substituting nailbiting by deepbreathing or think of a quiet place whenever you are anxious.Or try positive self-talk.


I tried it when I am anxious or afraid. It`s very useful.
You seem to be asking 2 Qs, one about social anx; and about biting skin.





You can stop biting your skin by replacing this activity with another. Carry some Curel, or moisturizer with you. In the a.m., rub the ends of your fingers with lotion. During the day, when you feel like biting, rub instead.





Replenish the lotion in private, on your break, in the washroom.





Over a period of time, the skin on your fingers will heal, and the additional rubbing will smooth it out.





When you see how much improved the appearance of your fingers, this will motivate you to refrain from chewing.





The social anxiety is a deeper rooted issue, but mastering the finger-biting is a step toward greater self-confidence. Lack of confidence/shame-gone-awry is usually at the root of socio-phobic/shame affect disorders.





Maybe this is what is deep down inside? Work with a therapist on this issue; good luck.
Do visualization, write in meetings, chew gum, hard candy. Or see if antidepressants will work (it does for some).
when you figure it out please let me know
Take a anti-depressent that works for anxiety too.
I also suffer from an anxiety disorder, and most of the time when I am feeling very stressed, I tend to scratch or rub the top of my head alot, or just cover it with my hands. I have had the hardest time breaking the habit. It seems like the only way to rid yourself of biting is to confront whatever it is that drives your anxiety. If there is a large group of people that are triggering your anx, then you should try and become the center of attention. I always feel as if somthing is going terribly wrong, in my own head. All I do is confront the fact that I am making myself feel that way, and I try to contradict it by letting myself know I am still breathing and thinking and functioning. I am aware of my problem, and then I can ignore it and get back to life. But, if that fails too often, then maybe getting professional help like therapy or medication would be better. I'm kind of paranoid when it comes to mhmr drugs, so I try to tough it out. Try it on for size, and good luck
My sister did that too. You need to ask your doctor about it, and try to put something on your fingers that taste bad. The have medication for the anxiety you are experiencing. Good luck.
Hypnotherapy; it's non-invasive, no drugs, no side-ellects, it's quick, painless, and can work wonders, by ';re-programming'; your unconscious mind.
the best answer is see a doctor they can help with either counseling or medication
Cure; your; anxiety.
difficult one. Try to do something else when that happens. As soon as you feel you are going to put your fingers in your mouth , jump up and go do something else. Or you could always put hot sauce on your finger tips.
I do the same thing; eating the skin around the fingernails that is.





I have been doing so for ages now, to the point that some of my finger tips have been slightly ';deformed';; or rather it is the nails themselves who have adopted a new path of growth, making it look like my finger tips are slightly bent.





For years I've been trying to cure myself of this very nasty habit. It can actually lead to gangrene if you dig in too much and the ';wound'; gets infected. Often I would try to put polisporin (or other regenerative compound) on my fingertips before going to sleep, hoping it would heal the skin around the nails overnight. Truth is, it does help a bit but it isn't miraculous.





Stress and fear and the main factors which drive this habit of mine. Stress is everyday life; the lifestyle of the post 80s/90s in today's wireless computer internet age. Fear is basically one of those strong emotions which cannot be easily controlled. Although I literaly face my fear(s) every single day, and deal with them, I just seem to cannot stop eating that skin around my nails!





The only solution I was able to find (thanks to my wife) is actually so simple it will sound ridiculous. It is basically becoming concious of your actions as you are doing then, hence in this case, trying to stop yourself before you do. So every time I put my fingers to my mouth , I try to stop myself. It doesn't always work, but since I am more aware of what I am doing, and of course that other fear of gangrene, I have considerably toned down on this nasty habit.





Let me know if you find a more decent solution to this!

How are finger/toe nails intelligently designed?

From an evolutionary standpoint it makes perfect sense. But from a designer POV it doesn't. Other than picking one's nose, what's the point??How are finger/toe nails intelligently designed?
They're there so the church has something to pull out when people don't comply.How are finger/toe nails intelligently designed?
What?! First, have you ever tried to scratch an itch without nails?! Secondly Humans are way different than apes. Humans have the ability to create consistently and variably, they can appreciate art, they can appreciate music, they have freewill, they are not driven by animal instincts as animals are, humans have a clearer perception of death, humans can create and sustain society, humans have a need to know the unknown....a spiritual need. Apes and humans may have some similarities, but they are simply different creatures, humas are far more superior.


When is the last time you saw an ape construct a bridge, or design a microchip smaller than a......fingernail, when have you ever seen an ape play a perfect rendition of Beethoven's 5th? Exactly. Apes are VERY smart, but they are NOT humans, we are far more advanced, not because of evolution, but because we were simply created that way. Why are apes not STILL evolving? Why are humans not STILL evolving? And exactly what subspecies did we all come from? What are the odds that humans would simply come to the forefront of ALL animals and dominate? The chances of that happening are scientifically improbable. Humans are the ONLY creatures made in God's image, that may not be the scientifically acceptable answer, but it is the truth. Science does not always PROVE the Bible, because Science is not always correct, it is the tool of human beings, and human beings are consistently subject to error and even corruption. Scientist ALSO thought that the Earth was round years ago....but the Bible has ALWAYS said the Earth was a 'circle'. (Isaiah 40:22) The Bible does not need Science to be validated, it has the upmost authority, becasue it is the word of Jehovah God.
so many things make perfect sense when you consider evolution, maybe that's because it is a scientific fact.
Most Intelligent Designer,s beilifers are founded that the


creator is 1 of us.
it's the vestigial remains of our lizard ancestry.
You can clear ear wax with them also. Plus the nails protect the sensitive toes quite well.
there are many tasks that you cannot do without nails - you'll see if you ever lose one
they are just so damn tasty :)
