Shortening of a nail enhancement is simple, as long as you use the proper tool to do so. Purchase a 240-grit file from your nail technician/manicurist or beauty supply store. Never use nail clippers, as they can shatter the nail product. *Note: too much filing may cause the nail product to pull away or lift away from your nail bed. Only file your nail enhancements when necessary between your appointments with your nail technician/manicurist. Top of page

File each nail tip from corner to center. Do not file back and forth or in a "see-saw" motion over the nail since that can cause ridges and splitting. Also, don't use a metal file since they are too rough on nails.

To shorten audio files you need audio editing software -- kind of like a word processor for sound files. There are two that I really recommend: 1. Audacity Best thing about it is it's free and cross-platform. Worst thing thing about it is that it's not completely user-friendly. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ 2. Sony's Sound Forge Audio Studio Best thing about it is it's pretty easy to use. Worst thing about it is that it costs $70 and is Windows-only. http://www.sonymediasoftware.

Chemotherapy can cause your nails to become brittle and grow slower than usual or become very soft. It is common to see a white or dark ridge in the nail after several weeks of chemotherapy. Clip your nails short and protect them from added stress, but do not cut your cuticles. Don't use artificial nails; they could possibly cause a hard to treat fungal infection. Do not use alcohol-based polish or polish remover.

Yes. You can make the barn as long or as short as you want by simply adding or deleting wall framing and roof trusses.

The mechanisms of DNA replication in linear chromosomes is different for each of the two strands (called leading and lagging strands). The lagging strand is made as series of discrete fragments, each requiring a new RNA primer to initiate synthesis.

If your dog does not die of complications of his cystinuria, such as obstruction, recurrent infections, or surgical complications, no. Many dogs, including stone formers and those who have had serious health problems when their condition was first diagnosed, have lived not just normal but longer-than-normal lives.

The treatment of nails is very difficult. You should keep them short to prevent further damage from catching them, and ask your doctor about having the clippings analysed to make sure you do not have a fungal infection. A fungal infection can be an additional problem in damaged nails but can also mimic the typical changes of psoriasis. Topical vitamin D agents on the affected part can sometimes work if applied and covered with polythene, but this may only be practical at night.

Fingernails grow in much the same way as wood, with grains and the occasional knot. When filing nails, it is best to go 'with the grain'. When filing with the grain, excess pieces of fingernail flake easily and effortlessly in one direction. The nail can then be smoothed with a fine grain of sandpaper. Like wood, the fingernail splits apart when filed 'against the grain', resulting in painful tissue damage around the fingernail, which can lead to eventual infection and painful death.

Nail Enhancement application SHOULD NOT hurt. If your manicurist is using a nail drill or filing with a nail file, and files to deep into your nail bed, it is possible to experience pain and discomfort. It is important to select a manicurist who is experienced so that this does not happen to you. Top of page

This is a highly misunderstood subject. Acrylic nails DO NOT cause nail fungi. However, some clients who wear nail enhancements do get a more common disorder commonly known as nail mold. Mold occurs when the nails are not maintained on a regular basis (every 2-3 weeks), or when the artificial nails are applied improperly.

Fungus on the nails usually presents as a darkening yellow, sometimes blackish and opaque discoloration of the nail. It can also present as white splotches on the nail. As the fungus progresses, the nail can get thicker and brittle.

The simplest way to avoid ingrown nails is to trim your nails straight across and slightly round off the edges with a file. If you tear at your toenails rather than cut them, STOP! You are heading towards developing an ingrown nail if you do so. If you find that the edges of the skin closest to the nail are rough, moisturize them and you can even use a pumice stone to soften them.

ANSWER: The most common bacterial infection of the nails is due to pseudomonas, and is sometimes referred to as "green nails" because of the greenish-colored nail plate. Pseudomonas is generally caused from air pockets under the nail plate that allow mositure to get in and the green pigment-producing organism thrives in the moist environment. This is usually accompanied by onycholysis (lifting nail), so a dermatologist should intervene.

ANSWER: When a nail is injured, it can assume a number of different appearances. The most common, of course, would be a discoloration of the nail plate due to bleeding under or around the nail. This condition is referred to as a subungual hematoma, or hemorrhage in the nail plate (similar to a bruise on the skin). When this occurs, the blood accumulates under the nail and it usually causes the nail plate to separate from the nail bed.
