Nails

[Guest Sina]

Help! I've looked all over and can't find a thing, but I can't be the only one who has this problem. If I grow my nails any length at all, several of them curl downward. They're not finger nails, they're talons. Doesn't look good and I hate it. Anyone have any suggestions. Desprate and willing to try anything (almost).

Hah!

If I try to grow mine at all they break so I am going to have to go with fakes... you might have to as well

I'd love to have talons...the thought of that with a couple of large incisors would be wonderful. Rethink girl many would kill for that look....wanna trade......?

Three of ten do that for me. I have tried calcium suppliments which help a bit. It has to do with circulation to the lower nail beds - it can be the sign of something serious so check for heart disease and diabetes. might just be genes. Just thought I would cheer you up! Grin

I get these ridges from cuticle to tip, maybe about 5-10 per nail, makes my nails look very bumpy. And when each nail gets to a certain length, like about 1/8" into the white, they crack (and chip) badly right on a ridge line (or two or 3 or...).

But, my daughter is going to school to become a Nail Tech, and I asked her about it and she's looking into it, but the first thing she told me was to - moisturize.

She has learned gels and acrylics, and I suspect that is where anyone who wants serious nails should be looking. Expensive, but around where I live, Nail stores are popping up like there's no economic troubles at all.

I will subtly ask if she knows anything about nails growing at awkward angles, and let you know if I learn anything.

I got the same thing, and found that Wal-Mart sells a 7 sided buffer for under 5$, I used one to take the ridges off my nails and then buff them to a nice shine
