to try to take them off,
not professionally,
will it really ruin my nails forever?If i file down my acrylic nails, or file them down?
not necessarily, your nails will continue to grow so the damaged part will at some point grow outIf i file down my acrylic nails, or file them down?
it does damage your nail and it feels like forever befor they come back to their normal strength. it's best to soak them really long in nail polish remover with acetone but that's what the pro's do. and they've also got all the extra equipment to clean up your nail bed properly. if they're bugging you, soak long and let them come off gently, DON';T PULL THEM OFF. you could rip a chunk of nail off in the middle of your nail bed and girl, it's serious trouble if that happens. acrylic nails sometimes can be very bonded to your nail so don't take chances. infection in the nail is awful and takes forever to heal and looks bad. hope that answers it.
Just go get some acetone...its really cheap and then you can soak the nails off. Your nails wont be ruined forever they will just be a bit fragile for awile depending on how much damage is done when removing the nails as they can cause your own nails to peel layers off abit. Your nails will grow out the damaged part and be good again which takes about 3 months or so.
by putting them on, it's already ruined your nails.
I have acrylic nails for a few months and they totally messed up my nails. They infected them where they turn yellow and I had no choice to take them off and get a manicure weekly or keep putting on acrylics. I had them taken off about 9 months ago and the infected part of my nail is STILL not all the way grown out. I'll never get fake ones again.
Edited--
It wont ruin your nails forever, only until the ruined part of the nail grows out.
Here's a site i found that gives advice on the removal process
no. it will hurt really bad, but your nails grow out and get rid of the imperfections. so it may hurt when you do it, but it wont ruin them forever
Dont do that! soak them in nail polish remover for about 30 minutes. the acetone in the remover takes off the acrylic.

Is it wise to get my kittens nails cut or just filed down?
This really bothers me when she wants to be affectionate and I'm pushing her away because I don't want to get scratched? Help!!Is it wise to get my kittens nails cut or just filed down?
if she's an indoor only cat, then you should get her nails clipped every couple of months (depending on how fast hers grow). if she's an indoor/outdoor cat then you can probably wait a little longer because being outside naturally helps control the length and sharpness of her nails.
i would suggest clipping rather than filing because cats don't like their nails being messed with and clipping is quicker and easier to do. though both have risks (clipping too far can cause her nail to bleed, but it will be ok) (with filing you could jam her nail which would be painful for longer).Is it wise to get my kittens nails cut or just filed down?
I guess this is your first cat. there are nail clippers you can buy at a pet store to clip her claws. you can't file them, let the a vet show you how to do it or someone with experience in clipping. There is a web site you could visit. http://www.felinvideos.vetcornell.edv/he鈥?/a> ... they have instructions on caring for your kitty...Sorry I believe that the web-site is not correct, maybe other viewer can help you .....
Yes, or else your kittens will tear your furniture to shreds
Just filed down, getting thier nails declawed is painful for the cat. Also if they ever get out they could climb to get away from thier enemies
Hi again!
It's a better idea to get a scratching post and maybe a spray, like bitter apple, that will keep your kitten off something you really want to protect. As far as getting scratched yourself, it will happen, but its ok. Kittens are energetic and playful. As they get older, you'll get a lot less scratches, just like they'll wake you up at night less. Try to hold her and play with her anyway. It'll get easier. If she's your only kitten, you might think about getting a second. If she had a playmate, she would go to you less(although she'd still need you), and still be happy
If you cut a claw, it will crush the claw and you risk her getting a very dangerous foot infection. I've seen this more than once and it's not pretty. It's very painful for the cat or kitten, expensive for you and, especially for a kitten, dangerous to its overall health. I have a cat now that came to me with a foot infection. After a long treatment and a lot of pain and sickness, he is now missing a toe.
So, I think it is really not worth it, but if you must, go to a good vet. Most will try to explain to you that it isn't necessary-- if she has something good to scratch on, she will take her claws down the right amount on her own. However, if you insist, a vet can show you the best way and should tell you that a sharp implement is less likely to crush a claw than a dull one (nothing from the grocery store or pet store is probably good enough),
Btw, a kittens back claws should always be left alone. She won't use them to scratch, so you don't need to worry about it.
I'm sure there are people who will file your kittens claws for you, I don't know. I can't imagine any of my cats allowing it, at any age.
Really though, I recommend a scratching post, maybe the bitter apple spray and a sense of humor. Cats and kittens have claws, they scratch. You will get some scratches and so will your home - it's kinda like breathing or licking their fur, there's no way to stop a cat from being a cat.
Either one would be fine, trim or file. It's good to get them started now so they are use to it......

How far down do you need to cut a rabbit's nails?
i got a rabbit and his nails are rally long?How far down do you need to cut a rabbit's nails?
I always clip my rabbit's nails to about 1 mm above the pink cuticle. Be careful to not actually get into the pink because then it hurts them.How far down do you need to cut a rabbit's nails?
When you look at your rabbits nails, the colors will be white, brown, or black at the top, and pink or red at the bottom. You want to make sure you stay far away from the pink or red part. Many people cut the pink part on accident. It causes severe bleeding, and may be fatal to your new little friend. Make sure you have the right clippers:

Good Luck!!!
i have rabbits too, and where the pink area is on a rabbits nails, you should cut the nail until your a little aways from the pink, but don't cut right to it or on it because the rabbit will bleed.
If his nails are white you will be able to see the quick or blood vein in the nail. Do not cut below the top of the quick. Cut just above it.
If you do cut the quick and it bleeds do not panic. Take a little flour and put it in the palm of your hand. Place the bleeding nail in the middle of the flour and hold it on the nail. This will help the blood clot and stop the bleeding.
usually they have two colors on their nails. black, or white and then pink. You can cut the nails up to the pink part but no further. if you cut more than that, you could hurt the rabbit and make it bleed.
You cut a rabbits nails to the pink cuticle. Otherwise if you cut it too far down, you hurt them and it bleeds alot.
Good Luck!!

My hammy wheel keep makeing a sound like nails down a chalk board!!help!!?
i was sleeping and then all of a sudden i here a loud noise and it was her wheel!!!it neever ever did this b fore and now it id and i cant sleep!!!!!help please and i mean she loves that wheel and the wheel is so fast and fun for her she wont let anyone take it out of her cage!!My hammy wheel keep makeing a sound like nails down a chalk board!!help!!?
Is this a silent spinner? I had a problem with that, I realized the hub of the wheel had broke so I bought a different wheel.My hammy wheel keep makeing a sound like nails down a chalk board!!help!!?
I would say to put some oil, edible/corn/olive oil on the joint to stop it from squeaking.
Try putting a Lazy Pet Plush Sheepskin Pad under the wheel. You can get them at Petco. Just cut it to the perfect size that fits under the wheel.
same thing happened to me all you have to do is put some vegtable oil on it and put it bak in her cage. next day take it out and put new veggie oil(make sure you wash it first) on it and see if it works keep repeating this.
Put a few drops of vegetable oil on the sqeaky part...that should do it!
i have to mice that never get off the wheel... and here is what you can do... nothing.. get used to it... you'll finally get used to it.
I have the same problem but I got used to it and now I got so used to it that when ever there is thunderstorms I just think it is my hamster running on his wheel! My dad put oil on it but in a week it had worn off and got even worse so I would suggest just getting used to it!!
My hamster wheel does that to. What you do is take oil and rub it on the wheel and it should not make any noise. Hope this helps!
Jamie %26lt;3
maybe you could lubricate the wheel. i had the old metal ones when i had my hamsters and that helped out a lot.
Put like vegetable oil or any kind of oil on it and it should stop squeaking.
Crisco might work. I like the veggie oil ideas too.
oil the wheel
grease it with cooking oil.pores blackheads

If you break one nail, do you cut all the others down too or do you just have one short one?
I've got one nail that is on the verge of breaking but I don't want to cut them all down so I've kinda filed the little nick away and now my nail is all wonky. Oh the dilemmas of a woman...If you break one nail, do you cut all the others down too or do you just have one short one?
I really hate when that happens ...its such an odd feeling on your hand as well...but I just file the one that is broken and wait on the broken one to grow out ...and maybe you could just wear clear polish to keep less attention to it while it grows...If you are going to a party or event you could always go and get one put on, but those are so hard on my nails ...so if you do choose to get a nail put on I would just buy one at Walmart or somewhere like that I think those might be not as harsh on your nail.
I hope this was helpful~~ and Good Luck ~If you break one nail, do you cut all the others down too or do you just have one short one?
I cut all the other ones down to match the nail that broke. It looks bad when you have 1 short nail %26amp; the rest long. Think about it would you have all short nails except 1 long one? No All your nails have to match color, length %26amp; shpae. I hope this helps! Good Luck :)
Well, due to my job, doesn't matter how careful I am I still occasionally break my nail. I used to cut them down, but now I learned to repair them in case they break.
All you have to do is put a dot of superglue on your nail where it's breaking, and use the glue tip to spread it around a little. Don't touch anything for about five minute and file smooth with a very fine nail file.
However, it might be helpful to cut all your nail down a little bit to prevent it from breaking further. So yeah, even if you want to cut the broken nail, you can cut down the rest just a little bit so it's not too noticeable. Besides, cutting your nail will make it gorw faster.
I usually file my all down. I really hate it when that happens
cut them! if it is a thumb nail, you can get away with leaving it shorter than the rest, anything else looks tacky.
i cut mine all down if i break one. It just bothers me if one is shorter than the rest. thats why I rarely ever have long nails. they are always breaking.
I cut mine all down, but i can't stand if they all arent the same length, but my mother will leave one short and the rest long.
Don't cut them all, its not worth one broken one to ruin the rest, just let it grow back, paint your nails or somthing so it's not as noticable.
take em all off and go get them done..who wants tacky looking nails???? make you look broke!
personally, I usually file them all down a little bit so that the one nail does not look so far off from the others. But you don't have to file them all down completely. Maybe just slightly shorter while the broken one catches up again. = )

Can you put down double coverage roofing by just using nails and no cement?
No, you need the protection of both the cement and nails. Remember to tack in nails with roofing nails that have nail plates under them.Can you put down double coverage roofing by just using nails and no cement?
