stop biting nails

i’ve been doing horribly with this. i am remembering to apply the nutranail twice a day but i’ve been catching myself nibbling my nails on occasion. i need to be more aware. i also need to start taking those liquid vitamins. they along with the biotin capsules made my nails grow like the wild months ago.

of my nail-biting habit that is.

I’ve been a nail-biter for as long as i can remember. i’ve always had short, brittle nails with nary a free edge. honestly i always thought that my nails were permanently damaged from the years and years of abuse.

but then i got braces last year which hindered my nail-biting. so for 11 months my nails had a chance to flourish and flourish they did. my nails got so long i actually had to trim them with clippers! also the urge to bite them subsided as well.

buuuuuut the braces have been off for about two months now and i’ve relapsed horribly. my nails are back to their pre-braces length (so basically nonexistent).

i want my long nails back. i know that it’s possible. so i’m going to be more conscious of my habit and also use nutra-nail as directed. i used it when i had braces and it worked. it will help strengthen them so they won’t break off as easily.

I chewed a nail off yesterday :0(

Other than that, I’m actually doing quite well-the rest of my nails are intact :0)

I’ve bitten the skin around my nails but still haven’t chomped any of the ACTUAL nails yet.

I also bought some lovely navy blue nail polish today, so going to brush some of that on over the weekend to help me resist the urge to bite!

Must. Not. Bite!

The goal is to keep my nails nice, really. I can’t have them too long because of my crafting!

I’ve managed to get them to the point where you can see the white tips :0) No more stubby little nails

Need to resist the urge to nibble at the corners, as this usually develops into me chomping off the whole nail!

and big time. I bit every nail off today except one.

I’m starting again :(.

but, they broke off because they are weak. Gonna keep trying.

I had to CUT (not bite) most of my nails :(! When they get so long, they get thin. Oh my….I’m starting again…...
