Are there any quality nail polish brands other than OPI?

Mia asked:

I always keep my toenails painted in OPI nail polish because they are known as the highest quality, but they don’t have all the colors I want and the bottles are quite expensive. Are there any brands out there of similar quality that are less expensive or that come in more unique colors?

Why do my toenails keep falling off?

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 11:59:28 +0000

ashleya212212 asked:

My entire nail doesn’t fall off when this happens. I can more or less see a ridge in my toenails and when that point grows out close to the free edge of my toenail, it simply rips off cleanly across the ridge. This is very frustrating and makes me very self conscious about the ugliness of my toes

Toenail Not Growing

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 12:38:20 +0000

Having a toenail not growing is a rare thing unless there is something really wrong with the toe (indicated by swelling, inflammation, pain, discoloration, etc.), there is probably not a problem.

When you think your toenails are not growing, you might be wrong. Wait and see if a month changes your perspective. The nail will probably have inched forward a bit by that time. There are some possibilities that will make you think that way.

Toenail might be growing but it being worn down or destroyed so fast at the tip that no growth is visible. Sometimes activities like a daily walk will wear away the tips of the nails so that they never have to be cut.
Infectious causes can also result in toenails worn down. Fungal infections of the nails often make nails soft and crumbly, so that they come apart and remain short. Infected nails are usually yellowish or brownish, thick, distorted and unhealthy looking. An antifungal treatment of some kind is needed to resolve this kind of problem.

When the two reasons above is not the case, then maybe you truly have a toenail not growing. It could be that the root of the nail is damaged.

The toenail root is hidden under the flesh at the base of the nail, between the knuckle and the cuticle. Specialized cells here pack together dead skin cells into dense layers to form the nail.

There could be various reasons that damage toenails root, ranging from physical damage to the root, to drug side effects, or disease processes. When there is no obvious history of finger or nail injury to explain a toenail not growing, a doctor should be consulted.

aliasasim asked:

I asked a couple other runners and they said their toenails fall off all the time. I heard lack of blood flow, but I want to be sure. I wear great shoes, good socks it can only be caused by running it seems.
