How can I convince my mother to let me get my nails done?

Can someone give me some major advantages to getting them, I'm 15 and I have a sweet 16 to go to and I want to get them done. Please help. I need a solid argument. Thank you!How can I convince my mother to let me get my nails done?
Why won't she let you? Most professional manicures only cost about 22 dollars as long as you just use your nails and not acrylics. Just tell her that this is important to you and you will pay for it. Other than that I just suggest having a friend do it if she is really against it (but I can't imagine why)How can I convince my mother to let me get my nails done?
If you are going to get your nails done, you need to make sure that's what your really want. They are beautiful when you first get them on. You will need to get a fill every two weeks. I would make a deal with your mom. If you are responsible and can pay with your own money then I don't see why she wouldn't let you. If not get a french manicure.
Tell them that it'll only be for this one time (even if it's not:P) and that you'll pay for it and make sure the nail place you go to is sanitary and all of that. Basically reassure her that you'll be ok, that's usually what mom's care about:)
bite your nails or try making them look rlly bad and tell your mom, tht if you dont get your nails done dressing nice wont make a difference.
Just do it!


rebel and you will always get your way


dont abuse it too much though

  • How old does a kitten need to be to clip her nails?

    I have a little kitten and i was wondering if anyone new how old she needs to be so that i can clip her nails.How old does a kitten need to be to clip her nails?
    at any age just please dont get her declawed.How old does a kitten need to be to clip her nails?
    age doesn't matter the sooner you start the better so the cat gets used to it and won't claw you up later. It's the same with rubbing their stomache if you start that out early they'll be used to it when they become adult cats and won't mind it as much so start now and she'll be used to it when she grows up.
    as long as they are long enough to cut without cutting the quick....u can clip them. but if the nails are still short, id wait till they are longer or if they are pointy and short, just cut off the point....good luck!
    the sooner you can, the better so she gets used to it while she's young. cats don't much like it, but it's far better than declawing (totally unnatural). be sure not to cut off too much and draw blood.
    they always clip there nails.
    cats actually ';clip'; their own nails by biting them....
    Big enough to see where the vein is so you don't make her bleed.
    age doesn't matter for clipping nails
    no age limit,if claws too long clip them..

    If you';re getting a full set of french tip acrylics, it takes about an hour to an hour %26amp; a half.How long does it take to get french tips on your nails done?please answer quickly!!!?
    I do mine myself and it takes about half hour
    about 1 hour and a half with a hand painted design


    45 minutes for french manicure


    and 1 hour for airbrush
    usually about an hour. i agree about the white tips to. the white airbrush comes off very quickly but if you get white tips they last and last.
    I would say about 30 minutes if the person is fast and good.
    About 25 mins just make sure you get white tips not airbrush it last much longer
    %26lt;hour
    the pearl tip done solar looks really natural... and it gets done in 25 to 30 mins!

    Is there a fingernail polish that keeps you from biting your nails?

    I know I've heard of it. It has a bitter taste.Is there a fingernail polish that keeps you from biting your nails?
    How to Stop Biting Your Nails





    Tape your nails. One way to stop biting your nails is to tape the end of each with Scotch tape. Then when you go to bite your nail, you'll get an unpleasant mouthful of tape.





    Apply a cream or lacquer. At your local grocery store or pharmacy you'll be able to find a plethora of nail creams and lacquers. Simply apply them to your nail and you'll get an unpleasant bitter taste each time you try and bite your nails! Brands such as ';Control-It,'; or Orly beauty's ';No Bite'; are such products. But truthfully, there are many on the market that all work well. If it tastes bitter, it should be a deterrent.





    Chew gum. Sometimes biting your nails has less to do with the obsession of nail biting and potentially more to do with an oral fixation. Therefore try chewing gum to occupy your mouth. That way if you try and bite your nails, you'll be stuck with sticky fingers.





    Wear mittens. If all else fails, wear mittens. It is so ridiculously unpractical and slightly embarrassing in public, that it should help stop that nasty nail biting habit real quick!





    This is not a quick fix or miracle cure and YOU are in charge of sticking with the program. You must be 150% determined to do it or it wont work.





    Caring for your nails





    Purchase a bitter-tasting formula made expressly to stop nail biting. Choose the worst-tasting solution you can find. Wash hands every morning with soap and water and towel dry.


    Apply a liberal amount of the solution to the nails, cuticles and surrounding skin. Continue to reapply the solution throughout the day as it wears off.


    Reapply the solution at bedtime. Make sure the bitter taste is always present on your nails.





    As nails begin to grow, coat them with a polish made for strengthening nails. Get regular manicures to maintain nails.





    =)Is there a fingernail polish that keeps you from biting your nails?
    I'm not sure if there is a fingernail polish that has a bitter taste to it however if you dip the tips of your fingers in something such as lemon juice (something that has a taste you dont like but doesnt smell bad) it might help. I have known people who have done this and it worked!
    This would be very tacky for a teen or adult to do but I sucked my thumb as a child and my mom couldn't get me to stop by conventional methods like, yelling at me, calling me a sissy, spanking me, water torture like the president condones, etc. What she did though was put black shoe polish on my thumbs to keep me from sucking them. It was a very short period of time before I kicked the habit.





    Black shoe polish wouldn't be very attractive to you but a neutral shoe polish would be undetectable, at least until the next time you went to bite your nails. Try it by getting up and putting it on your finger tips and nails first thing in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. It's a cheap resolution and will be something you can laugh about later on when you tell people how you stopped.
    yes there is! I used to use it but I still bit them haha. I have a bad habbit as well. Im not sure what its called tho... lol..
    try fingernail polish remover. my mom has the same problem. although she still chews on them, its less frequent. just another thing you can try. good luck

    What can i use to help me to stop biting my nails?

    my whole life ive bitten my nails and i would like for them to grown. but when i try they grown really thin. and they eventually break. So i not only want to stop bittne them but what would make them grown stron and healthy?What can i use to help me to stop biting my nails?
    You can get a special lotion from your local pharmacy. It's a harmless yet DISGUSTING tasting liquid that you can paint on to your nails.What can i use to help me to stop biting my nails?
    Some of the things u can do 2 help u is:


    1.go 2 a store and get a nail polish that helps ur nails grow and stay strong


    2.go 2 a nail salon


    3.paint ur nails and if u try 2 bite them u will get nail polish in ur mouth
    I used to be exactly the same way.


    Until, my stepmom told me about getting fake nails. I was hesitant at first, becuase im pretty sporty, but they definately dont have to be long at all they can be pretty short but long enough. And you actually wont be able to bite them if you get the professional ones. They are too hard to bite, that way ya might just give up on biting them. Hope It works!
    there are nail coats (clear polish) that strengthen your nails. when i used to bite my nails, i use this, and it tastes TERRIBLE so i eventually stopped. i would go upstairs and get mine but im 2 lazy and dont feel like getting up right now, so if you would like to know what brand i use, please email me. hope i can hope!!!!!!!!!
    Get Acrilic ones! They DO NOT HAVE to be long (if you don't want them to be). But they are 'very' strong and every time you take them into you mouth, you'll be ';reminded'; not to. 'Scraping'them with your teeth would/is veeery painful. It worked for me!...Good luck!.
    put tree oil on the tips of your nails because it taste bad
    After you file and buff your nails to a nice shape, try using a strengthening base coat of nail polish first, then get a really nasty tasting color over it. That way, your nails will look nice because they're painted a pretty color, and you won't want to mess them up...and if you try to bite them, you will have a gross taste in your mouth. Hope that helps!
    well if you really want that to stop biting it, cut off your nails!!! ahahaha....joking!! uhmmm... make ur nails be elegant than ever something that cant be touched by anyone..just love ur nails!!!

    How do you get rid of the yellow stain on your nails from using nailpolish alot?

    Ive already tried the lemon juice theory,


    and i cant just grow them out because i have this thing were my nails take a very very long time to grow back.


    I got the stain from nail polish so i know its not some heath issue with the fungus.Id know if it was a fungus.I got it right after i used a green nail polish and didnt use a base coat,i didnt know then that i needed to use a base coat first.


    please help.How do you get rid of the yellow stain on your nails from using nailpolish alot?
    Soak your fingers in nail polish remover for a couple mintures.How do you get rid of the yellow stain on your nails from using nailpolish alot?
    Nail polish remover should help, or it may have to wear off naturally.


    In the future, calcium and vitamin E are great for growing strong nails. You can also purchase gelatin caps, when are cheap and over the counter.
    put a dark colour nail polish on top of your nail to cover the yellow:D
    Try soaking your nails for two minutes in vinegar before you polish them, this helps eliminate the yellow tinge and also prevents your nailpolish from chipping.





    Hope this helps you.
    polident and warm/hot water.





    it gets blueberry stains off fake teeth - it will get the yellow out of your nails.
    Go to the nail solan n get then fix there. they know wut to do
    go to a drugstore and find an over-the-counter medicine. that happened to me and it helped. next time remember to use a base coat! I hope this works!:)
    you are going to have to just let it wear off. It shouldn't take long. Get you some Hard As Nails they have one with a pink tint so that your nails can get strong.
    I paint mine a clear that sorta detracts from the yellow look by making them shiny... it doesn't happen if i don't have them painted for any length of time. Other than let them grow out, there's not really anything to do. My nails grow really fast; I attribute it to the fact that I love chocolate milk =) The calcium really helps nail growth. If you want to grow them out fast, get a lot of calcium!
    well, you are supposed to use base nail polish to help solve that problem, but there are actually certain nail polishes or certain formulas that are made to remove that... i havent tried them, but here are a few links:

    hope these helped!!!!
    Soak your nails in bleach for 5 minutes. If it isn't gone, try it for another 5 minutes and so on.
    I use White Out. It really works, and you can write on your toenails when you are through using it.
    OMG.
    u_dontHAHA!
    I used to wear nail polish a lot like that and my nails turned yellow so what I was recommended was to not wear nail polish for a while to air my nails out and the stains go away. Don't soak your nails in stuff because it weakens them and can dry out your skin.
    Yes, bleach is one answer, but WalMart carries a ';fizzy'; tablet that works ok, but not as good as bleach.
    buff your nails it works!!
    Air exposure and sunlight seems to work for me. Just don't wear polish for a few days.
    just go to the pharmacy they have nail polish espiecally for that its clear of course but it works
    i actually need help with that problem too but my nails grow really fast..but i would try keeping the nailpolish off for a couple of weeks..
    My toe nails do that. What I do is let them be polish free for a week or two and the yellow goes away completely. They just need to breath is all.
    you can use some nail lotions.go to any drugstore,tell the person that sells drugs your problem and he-ll suggest you a lotion.it ain't expensive
    well you should get a manicure the people who work there will know what to do and will get rid of it or go to the Doctor it could be vary serous like a tumer
    You've got to let your nails ';grow-it-out.';

    How can I grow my cuticles around my toe and finger nails back?

    I use a cuticle clipper and when the skin starts growing back it gets hard like a callus, than it gets uncomfortable and I cut the skin again. How do I get the skin soft and back to normal?How can I grow my cuticles around my toe and finger nails back?
    Go to Sally's and get a small jar of something called ';healthy Hoof'; it's a thick cream. use it every day, and especially at night. It will make the cuticle skin normal and soft again. Don't clip the cuticle, unless there is a snag, just push them back and sort of scrub at them with a towel after your bath or shower. Then put on the healthy hoof cream. It's only a couple bucks, and lasts a really long time because you just use like a pinhead size amount on each nail %26amp; cuticle.

  • I need some good ideas to help me stop picking my nails?

    I have had the bad habit of picking at/biting my fingernails for a very long time. I need some creative ways to stop this habit. I've tried that special nail polish, chewing gum, holding onto stuff, everything! I can usually stop for about 3 months but then I can't keep it up. Has anybody whoever has had this habit found a good solution? Any and all answers are appreciated! Thank you!I need some good ideas to help me stop picking my nails?
    get fake nails...it would be really hard to bite them...acrylic, solar, gel. etc.I need some good ideas to help me stop picking my nails?
    When I realized I was developing a habit of fiddling with my mouthguard in my mouth, I made myself a rule that if I fiddled with it, I had to slap my own wrist, really hard. Even if I was in public and people were looking at me. It takes some self-discipline to follow through, but you just have to make it an absolute RULE that you HAVE to do it. It worked really well for me, because the slaps hurt and I didn't want people looking at me weird for slapping myself, so I stopped fiddling with my mouthguard really quickly!
    Look up ';dermataplasia'; I think thats how you spell it, Anyways its a condition where you cant stop picking at the skin, usually around the fingers. I suffer from this and it got very gross at one point. To where my fingers were all torn and bitten around the nails. I think nail biting may be the same condition but on a different level. Its actually a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder from what I understand.
    dip your fingers in nail polish remover every morning because it taste awful! and when you start biting you'll notice more. Also I sometimes start to bite my nails, and instead I just run my teeth under my nails. It's just as gross, but at least my nails don't look all haggard. If you can go a week without chewing them off reward yourself with a manicure...
    I have the same problem! well chewing gum kinda worked for me, but i also paint my nails too so i wont wanna rewin them. I also sometimes do it unconciously so i tell my friends to yell at me if they ever see me biting my nails. I have also had to put bandaids on my fingers for a few days cuase i was biting them soo short. Also, if you put fake nails on for awhile, then u cnt bite or pick ur own nails.





    Hope i helped!
    there is this nail polish called no bite or bite no more or something like that. My roommate uses it and she hasn't bitten a nail in months....also if you keep painting your nails normally, you shouldn't bite them. fake nails helped my mom stop biting her nails. and she bit them right to the nub.
    I started getting my nails done professionally, you don't really bite them then, after some time you get used to not doing it and after a while you can let the acrylic go and you won't be in habit of biting your nails anymore. Good Luck.
    put a rubberband on your wrist, everytime you see yourself going to pick at your nails snap your wrist with the band, eventually your mind will get the message! this works with all kinds of things, from saying ';like'; to much to well, picking your nails.
    I stopped. Paint them, its nasty if you still bite them with polish on. Or just chew your lip instead. It distracts you. If chewing gum didn't work that is pretty weird. And picking your nails should creep you out. It would creep me out.
    wear mittens. ALL THE TIME.
    I take valium.The blue ones.
    use fingernailpolish cause it taste's nasty so you won't like them anymore ! haha
    JUST STOP!!!
    chew gum it really works
    stop thinking about it, chew a gum
    i have the same problem!!! just put nail polish on or something
    paint them it taste gross
    just let yourself go, there are worse habits hon

    I'm just Curious if there is and if there is can you guys write it down for me=]]


    THANKSSS!Is there any Homemade recipes that I can use for my nails to grow longer?
    I've been wanting to grow my nails since my homecoming is coming up. But anywaysssss


    True fact, longer fingers grow nails faster. But for things you can eat, prenatal is your best option. Also Vitamin A, B, C and E are good too. As well as fish oil pills. Your nails all grow depending on your diet.Is there any Homemade recipes that I can use for my nails to grow longer?
    get some prenatal vitamins and drink milk
    yeah, drink alot of milk. Seriously
    Eat Jello.. that's the best recipe for nails.

    What is the best way to trim a 3 month-old nails?

    She is tearing me up to shreds! I try to trim them when she's alseep, but her relfexes are so spardic that she balls her little fists out so I can't do it. Help!What is the best way to trim a 3 month-old nails?
    use a nail file


    if you go from the top of the nail and stroke down it isnt that hard


    if you insist on clipping let me tell you this, i did it once and i cut my babys thumb open. i cried!! i suggest you do it in REALLY good light adn when he is relaxed, have somone else hold him and keep him still, that way you can focus on what you are doing.What is the best way to trim a 3 month-old nails?
    I always cut their nails while they were asleep. You can bite them off as well if you are worried about cutting the baby's fingers... and yes that is very easy to do. Just use your best judgment...
    trim her nails when she is eating/being fed.
    I cut my sons nails when he falls asleep in my lap at night, but at 3 months I think I used a baby nail file. It was easier. The nails were much softer and it was harder to figure out where the nail stopped and the finger began.


    I always hate doing it, I am afraid I am going to nip him....


    Good luck!
    My 3 mo. baby girl balls up her fists really tight so I put my finger or 2 of them in her hand so she grasps that instead. It's worked really well for me. Good Luck!
    Gently bite them off while she is asleep.
    with fingernail clippers. Also you can just bite them off
    cut them when she is a sleep in your lap
    i just bite them i tried fileing them but there to flimsy
    My son was always scratching his face. Just hold her hand tight when she is sleeping and trim them. Get somebody else to hold her arm still if you need to. My boy is really good as I've done it sionce he was days old a few times a week. He sits nice and still in my lap. Try it when she is awake to see if there is a difference. If you are too afraid you are going to trim her finger, then try - I know gross - biting them off. I know LOTS of people that did this.
    They will be easiest to cut after she has been playing in the bath for a little while. The best way to do this is to giver her a nice warm bath and then get your husband to trim the nails while you nurse. She will be most relaxed and probably love the extra attention from Dad!


    If this is not an option, the second best solution is to make a game out our of catching her hands with your kisses and biting off the sharp edges while she is giggling.


    Both of these tactics worked with my three... just try not to stress, you being nervous or stressed will make her more likely to fuss.
    a soft nail file is best


    very safe as you cannot hurt your babies fingers, unlike nail clippers ..... i once used baby clippers and accidently cut the very tip of my babies finger (only slightly but it did bleed a bit), i felt awful but it is really hard if they are moving around lots.


    Go the nail file - my baby loves to play with the nail file too - so it is like a fun game and completely safe too


    try filing when they are sleepy and relaxed but not when they are asleep as they may wake with a start and get upset


    good luck
    I used the nail file with my baby. It worked well. Try filing them when the baby is asleep. if it doesnt work, try when she's awake. Sing a song or do somethin to distract attention. Good Luck
    After her bath, her nails will be soft and it will be a lot easier to clip them. Do you have someone who can help hold her hands while you clip? That might make things easier. Good luck. Clipping baby fingernails is a tough job.
    I've heard people say that biting them off helped.
    Have you tried filing them? Maybe she'll accept that better than the clippers. And you're less likely to cut her.





    I couldn't ever sit still that long, but it's worth a try. Use the lighter side of the emery board.
    DONT USE NAILCLIPPERS!!! bite them off..when u use ur teeth u can feel how deep u r going..nail clippers are not accurate and u can get her skin

    Is it bad for you in any way to paint your nails often?

    I paint mine abount once a week, I cant stand how old chipped nail polish looks, an am obsessed with fresh glossy polish. I can't help but think that ther are noxious chemicals in it, but is is bad for my health? Does it cause cancer, hurt my lungs, get into my blood stream, damage my brain, or hurt my nails?Is it bad for you in any way to paint your nails often?
    Painting your nails robs your nails of oxygen. It can make them weaker and more brittle. My suggestion (cause I paint a lot like you do) is to paint them and then when the paint starts to chip, take it off and leave your nails open to air for about a week and then paint them again. Don't put anything on them in that week including a clear coat. Let them breate.Is it bad for you in any way to paint your nails often?
    There is nothing wrong with wanting your nails yo look flawless. But most fingernail polish is melted pig fat with many harmful chemicals as well. Anything you put on your body goes into your bloodstream. Considering your health, you do not really need it. Plus, your nails are beautiful naturally. Just keep them clean and filed. I bet you will more acknowledgement that way. Good luck.
    i think so because it's like a chemical
