Fungus That Infects Nails
A species of fungus that infects nails is called a dermatophyte-literally meaning a “skin plant.” The reference to skin results from the fact that the same types of fungi can also invade skin, deriving their nutrients from the same protein that is abundant in nails: keratin.

Fatigue, Depression, Overweight and More Might be Due to an Undiagnosed Borderline Low Thyroid
Currently, the United Sates is in the grip of an epidemic of low thyroid conditions. These are due, in large part, to the growing pollution of the air, food, and water, resulting in an autoimmune response against our delicate endocrine glands. The organ most severely affected appears to be the thyroid. Most people are not aware that their individual problems of fatigue, depression, and overweight might be due to an undiagnosed borderline low thyroid situation. Furthermore, nagging persistent related problems can include sinusitis, constipation, eczema, insomnia, dry skin, hair thinning, brittle nails, intolerance to heat or cold, and a host of female difficulties such as infertility, recurrent miscarriage, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and even bad PMS. If you are not feeling well, just not up to par, have unwanted pounds, feel depressed for no apparent reason, are having unexpected and seemingly unwarranted male or female issues - don’t wait and don’t settle for an unsatisfactory diagnosis - get properly tested - then treated. It is easy, inexpensive and can make the world of difference to your life now!

Nail Tips and Art - Enhancing Your Nails
Gel nails, or gel systems as they are also called, are a newer type of nail enhancement that are created by applying layers of resin to the nail; these layers combine and harden to form a solid nail. Depending on the formula a particular nail technician uses, nails are hardened with an ultraviolet curing light or under ordinary room lighting. Gel nails are among the most natural-looking of the nail enhancements - something to keep in mind if you want nails that look like your own, only longer and stronger.

April 5th, 2008 — Nail care tips
A manicure is a cosmetic beauty treatment for the fingernails and hands. A manicure can treat just the hands, just the nails, or both. A standard manicure usually includes filing and shaping of the nails and the application of polish, but there are also also speciality manicures. Treatments for hands usually include soaking in a softening substance and application of hand lotion. A similar treatment performed on the feet is a pedicure.
The word “manicure” comes from the Latin manus, meaning “hand,” and cura meaning “care”.
Some manicures can include the painting of pictures or designs on the nails or applying small decals or imitation jewels.
