What does the White dots on a finger nail mean?

I think its a calcium deficiency or somethingWhat does the White dots on a finger nail mean?
Silly...it's a nail bruise.What does the White dots on a finger nail mean?
I thought it was too much calcium
The white dots come about as a result of damage to the fingernail as it grows. Basically, if you hit your finger on something it can cause a deformity (often called an ';air bubble';) in the fingernail. What it really represents is an area where the material that makes up the fingernail (called keratin) is not put together quite right (we say it is incompletely keratinized). This deformity stays in the nail until it grows out and gets cut off.





When you hit your finger on something, you can damage the part of your fingernail that is alive and growing. This doesn鈥檛 cause any permanent problems, but causes this white spot in your nail. The more you bump or hit your fingernail, the more white spots you will get. But whether you have one or many, they stay in your nail until it grows out.
It means you are going to strike it rich-not kidding-its TRUE!!
go to your doctor
My manicurist says it can be 2 things. One is where you've had trama to the nail(you bang your finger hard on something) or its a mineral deficiency during that time of nail growth. However, a manicurist can buff them out with one of those high speed buffers
It can be from calcium deficiency, but usually it can be caused by something as simple as a cold or fever. Any trauma to your hands or body can cause this discoloration. Many will be in about the same spot on multiple nails.
Yes you're right. It is a calcium deficiency. I asked a nail tech.
Yes, you're right, it's calcium deficiency.
they tell you how many secret admirers you have
older people say that it means your wise but I don't know
Usually it's from slight damage to the ';nail bed';, the area of the finger right above where the fingernail comes out.


It's nothing to be concerned about.

Did Egyptians wear finger nail polish?

I have seen movies where the actors had on nail polish. And that seems like it would be fake. If so, did men and women both wear it?Did Egyptians wear finger nail polish?
Yes they colored thier nails


No they didn't have nail polish like in the movies








Unlike many other cosmetics that have a history of hundreds or even thousands of years, nail polish (or lacquer, or enamel) is almost completely an invention of twentieth century technology. Nail coverings were not unknown in ancient times鈥攖he upper classes of ancient Egypt probably used henna to dye both hair and fingernails鈥攂ut essentially, its composition, manufacture and handling reflect developments in modern chemical technology.

There are historic records of nail colouring in ancient societies of China and Egypt, where colour signified social class. In China, it is done by mashing together the petals of impatiens flower and alum. Applying this mixture to nails for a few hours or overnight leaves a color ranging from pink to red.





Originally made of natural pigments, modern nail polish is similar to car paint, and requires a polish remover such as acetone to remove. Modern nail polish was invented by Michelle M茅nard in the early 1920s.





http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nail_polishDid Egyptians wear finger nail polish?
No,nail polish does not exist during those days.I mean do scientist really exist during those days to make nail polish?Do woman has beauty cosmetics to put on during those days?All i know is one thing that really exist,that is eyeliner..
Well it looks like nail polish but truly it's just liquid copper and gold that was brushed on ussually quite unevenly and clumpy. Because the gold was extremely hot it would burn the finger tips of the wearer. Therefore only the rich wore it. The gold showed the riches wealth and burned their finger tips proving they were unable to do any physical labor.
Sure they did, Do you think Cleopatra would be caught dead without anything on her nails%26gt;
yes, both sexes painted their nails in ancient Egypt..





They used various minerals and other items to make a ';paint'; substance..
I'm not totally positive, but if i think, Egyptians of high standings did. Pharaohs and other political or religious leaders probably did. But, i obviously would not have been the same substance we use today. It was probably some kind of dye the used for clothes.

Does it mean anything if you paint your ring finger-nail on your left hand black?

I have seen it on this one celebrity guy and i thought of doing it before i saw him and i was just wondering if it meant anything. because i dont want to paint it if it means any thing bad.Does it mean anything if you paint your ring finger-nail on your left hand black?
it means hes gayDoes it mean anything if you paint your ring finger-nail on your left hand black?
I don't think it means anything


I have the nails on my left hand painted black and not my right


Everyone thinks I'm trying to make a statement


Honestly, the first time I did it, I was waiting for the paint to dry on my left hand before painting my right and I was just like, I really don't feel like painting the other hand and I just didn't. And it's hard to paint your right hand when you're right handed anyway.
Why would anyone do that? Black nail polish looks the best if it's on all your fingernails.
i've never even heard of doing that!!
i'm pretty sure it's just a style thing..


theres tons of just plain black rings on the left hand ring finger out there that mean absolutely nothing.
It means, ';imitate me';.

How to make a sticker stay on my finger nail?

well i put a sticker on my fingernail and i put a clear coat over it but it wont stay


how do i make it stay?How to make a sticker stay on my finger nail?
You can't. Stickers basically suck. The edges curl up after a top coat is applied. If a top coat is not applied they disappear in a day anyway. Decals are much better, but need some experience to apply, and they seem to be fading from use because of poor instructions. I have great stuff, but i fear I will die of cancer before I can share it with anyoneHow to make a sticker stay on my finger nail?
I've had this same problem, and what I've learned is, never buy stickers MEANT for fingernails. Though it's a lot more expensive, buy phone jewls, and stickers and see how they work. They stay on much longer (which is about a day or two - but is actually very long for stickers one your nails :p) because they are made to deal with the outside of a phone, which is pretty hard. Also coat it with clear polish, to make it last longer.


Anyways, hope I helped!
do you have polish under the sticker? if not, try painting your nail with clear, put the sticker on it while your nail is still a little wet from the clear polish, then put a top coat over it


sometimes if that doesn't work then the sticker it's just not a real good. one, but it should work



try painting your nail clear. then a clear ontop of it?





:D

Why do people have finger/toe nails?

thanksWhy do people have finger/toe nails?
Nails have evolved to protect the sensitive nerve-filled touch pads on the bottoms of our fingers and toes to allow us to handle things with greater dexterity.





Why do people have finger/toe nails?
Evolutionary artifact. They used to be claws in our predecessors - tools and weapons.
To protect the skin cuz it would be weird if we didn't have them; it's just something we should have. And to paint them! Lol
Because it would look weird if we didnt.
