I have got a splinter down the back of my nail?
Can anyone recommed a way to get it out, the splinter goes behind my nail, down the side and pierces the skin under my nail, the splinter is too soft to get out with a needle, and my tweezers wont get in far enough. I'm having my nails done on 9th March and it's going to hurt if i dont get this splinter out
Will it get infected?

File or cut your nail down as far as possible. Soak your finger in warm sudsy water for about 20 minutes. When your finger is nice and soft you should be able push the finger tip back far enough to pull the splinter out. If it's real soft, just pull it out a tiny bit at a time.
