Why do pedicures tickle?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pedicures may tickle because the nerves in your feet are more sensitive and can be stimulated by gentle touch or pressure during the treatment. Sensations of tickling can also be amplified when your feet are in a vulnerable position, such as during a pedicure.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nail polish itself is unlikely to directly distract someone from learning. However, focusing on applying or choosing nail polish might divert attention from studying or engaging in other activities that require focus. It's important to manage time and priorities effectively to balance personal grooming tasks with learning.

How do you remove liquid nails from a fiberglass bath tub and surround?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unfortunately this will be difficult at best. Both are plastics. Spray foam is very tenacious. It bonds really well to most things (including tubs). That said; I have been successful at removing overspray from many surfaces over the last 20+ years.

Now, depending on the level of overspray, you might be satisfied with the results achieved using a 3-M Clay Block and their clear liquid spray polish.

Use a soft rag and liquid polish to gently remove the foam splatters. Spritz' the area with polish and "Gently" start rubbing the area with the clay block. This will produce decent results.

IF the damage is worse, or you are still plagued with "Spots", then your next approach (much more aggressive) may be needed.

Once you have clay blocked the area, use 1200-1600 grit "Wet" sand paper with cloth backing. VERY GENTLY, with the liquid polish; wet the surface and sand the affected area. Follow this process with a polishing compound. Like that from DuPont.

Remember; doing any of the above could make the tub look much better. If you still aren't satisfied; There are people that can Re- gel coat the finish. That process may cost as much as a tub, but may be cheaper than the cost to R/R it.

Good luck.

How do you make foot scrub?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a number of products you can use to make a foot scrub. Ground oatmeal, salt and sugar to name a few. The purpose in a scrub is to exfoliate or remove dead skin. Addition of peppermint helps to refresh and eliminate foot odor.

Mix 1/4 cup dead sea salt and 1/4 cup Epsom salt into 1 gallon of water warmed to tolerably hot. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of peppermint essential oil and soak feet for 15 to 20 minutes.

Make sure you dry your feet thoroughly after soak. You can also use a pumice stone at this time to gently remove calluses.

Is nail polish organic or inorganic?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

"Organic" is a buzzword used in many conversations today and is generally thought tome "grown from plants" or "harvested from nTURE". Chemistry regards organic as being "made with carbon atoms" and includes things like toluene and cyanide. The active agent in nail polish is usually acetone an organic compound in the proper chemical sense. While acetone was at one time produced using an industrial acetone-butanol-ethanol fermentation process followed by distillation this does not really make it "Organic" in the popular senses any more than vodka. Modern manufacturing process for acetone starts with propylene and benzene - even more not organic in the popular sense.

What are the different parts of a fingernail?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nail Plate: The hard surface of the nail that you can see. Nail Bed: All of the soft tissue beneath the nail. Lanula: The half moon at the base of the nail. While some are hidden, they are usually visible on the thumb. Did you know that it is thought that the lanula is actually a reflection of light. Matrix: This area is located beneath the cuticle. This is where all the growth of the nail takes place. The area contains nerves and blood vessels to nourish the new nail. Cuticle: The skin that overlaps the nail plate is called the cuticle. Allowing the skin to dry out is the reason for the development of hangnails. Nail Folds: The skin that surrounds and supports the nail on three sides, holding it in place. Nail fungus infections often occur in this area.

Does nail polish remover clean face?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nail polish remove contains acetone. You should avoid contact with the skin as much as possible, in particular sensitive skin, the eyes, etc.

This is from the MSDS for acetone (see link to the left):

Inhalation:

Inhalation of vapors irritates the respiratory tract. May cause coughing, dizziness, dullness, and headache. Higher concentrations can produce central nervous system depression, narcosis, and unconsciousness.

Ingestion:

Swallowing small amounts is not likely to produce harmful effects. Ingestion of larger amounts may produce abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting. Aspiration into lungs can produce severe lung damage and is a medical emergency. Other symptoms are expected to parallel inhalation.

Skin Contact:

Irritating due to defatting action on skin. Causes redness, pain, drying and cracking of the skin.

Eye Contact:

Vapors are irritating to the eyes. Splashes may cause severe irritation, with stinging, tearing, redness and pain.

Chronic Exposure:

Prolonged or repeated skin contact may produce severe irritation or dermatitis.

Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions:

Use of alcoholic beverages enhances toxic effects. Exposure may increase the toxic potential of chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as chloroform, trichloroethane.

Inhalation:

Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention.

Ingestion:

Aspiration hazard. If swallowed, vomiting may occur spontaneously, but DO NOT INDUCE. If vomiting occurs, keep head below hips to prevent aspiration into lungs. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a physician immediately.

Skin Contact:

Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Remove contaminated clothing and shoes. Get medical attention. Wash clothing before reuse. Thoroughly clean shoes before reuse.

Eye Contact:

Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, lifting upper and lower eyelids occasionally. Get medical attention.
