How do you get nail polish off hair?

You could try using baby oil and see if the dried polish will slide out - like you would to remove gum. Using ice might work, too. Or a non-acetone nail polish remover if all else fails. Once the nail polish has dried it actually shouldn't be too difficult to remove - in fact, unless it is a big knotted up mess, you *might* be able to slide it from the hair without using oil or chemicals.

How do you correct splitting finger nails?

Cracking, splitting nails typically result from repeated exposure to water over long periods of time. Baths, showers, dish-washing and swimming can all break down the cells that hold your nails together, and so does frequent use of nail polish and nail polish remover!!

Before you do anything with those cracked nails, you need to gently clip excess parts that could catch on something and cause tears that go deeper into the nail bed. Then you need to figure out what's making your nails crack and split.

You need to keep your nails moisturized.

Moisturizing your nails is simple. Whenever you use hand lotion or moisturizer, just take an extra moment to rub it in and around your nails. You should use moisturizer after washing your hands, taking a bath, doing dishes or using nail polish remover. If you forget during the day, apply a small amount of moisturizer to your nails and cuticles before you go to bed at night. This simple step will go a long way toward healing your damaged nails. Look for moisturizers that contain the following ingredients: proteins, such as collagen and keratin, strengthen cells in the nail plate, making the nail more resistant to splitting and cracking.

  • Occlusives, such as petrolatum, lanolin and mineral oil, slow the rate of moisture loss from your nails, preventing dryness.
  • Humectants trap moisture in the nail plate to prevent drying and cracking. Common humectants include urea, lactic acid, glycerin, propylene glycol, alpha hydroxy acids and phospholipids
  • Watch the water. If you expose your nails to a lot of water over the course of the day, you may want to invest in a pair of cotton-lined rubber gloves or disposable plastic gloves. You should especially consider wearing gloves when washing dishes or cleaning with chemicals.
  • Go easy on the chemicals. Harsh soaps and chemicals can dry out your nails, making them split and crack. If you use a lot of chemicals and soaps, be sure to wear those gloves while doing so.
  • Switch it up. You can't avoid soap all the time, so you may want to use a different soap. Mild soaps that contain moisturizers are gentler not only on your nails, but also on your hands.
  • Limit the remover. Nail polish remover, especially varieties that contain acetone, can be drying to fingernails. Try not to use nail polish remover more than once every other week and look for removers that don't contain acetone.
  • Trim your nails. Nails that are ragged and chipped are more likely to catch and split. Keep fingernails short, cut straight cut across the top, and gently file the sides to a rounded shape. This should be it! I hope I helped you!

What special ingredient was in the wardens nail polish in the book Holes by Louis Sachar?

her polish was made from dry rattlesnake venom. When it's dry it's safe. But when it's freshly painted and wet it's bad for you. That's why when Mr.Sir was slapped by her it left 3 red scars. It also explains why whenever someone gets her mad she starts painting. It shows the reader that the Warden is a cruel woman whom doesn't care about other's pain and suffering. You heard at the end SPOILER how she and Mr. Pendanski were planning on erasing Zero's records so no one could say he was once alive so that the death would be forgotten. You also heard them planning out what lie they would tell Stanley's parents. She, and every other adult in Camp Green Lake (That includes Mr.Pendanski) are cruel people who are willing to cover up a child's death for their stupid box of jewels.
