I rally want to stop biting my nails --- that is my goal this summer.

There should be a support group for us nail biters. I've been clean for three weeks now. I find that getting a professional manicure at least once a week helps to prevent me from biting. The more expensive, the better.

I never did the nail-biting thing, but I used to have horrible cuticles. They were always cracked and split. I recently started using CVS-brand triple-antibiotic ointment, and that works great. I highly recommend it. You can view my lovely fingers in my fan photos! And that was after only one or two applications. They look even better now. The use of it may even keep you from biting.

I don't bite my nails, but I clip them like once a week. I have a thing about them growing past my finger tips. If they are long enough to have dirt and crud underneath them, then they are too long.

I bite mine.
I've tried to stop many times.
But I have very weak nails, and once they get to a certain length, they break.
And so I just keep biting them.
Screw it.

I bit my nails since I was a kid, even acrylic nails. Ever since someone told me simply "stop" back in December, I have. I found an amazing nail polish (China Glaze) and strengthener (Nail Magic), and just kept doing my nails every week. They grew so well. However, I couldn't find the brand anywhere else, switched, and the majority of them are now broken off. My job doesn't help matters much. Ugh. I just ordered the correct brand online (i think it's because it has both lacquer and hardener), applied it last night, and I feel them getting stronger already. I don't have the urge to bite them anymore after seeing how nice and vampy they can look.

I used to bite my nails something fierce when I was younger. Then because I did so much hands on work as I was getting older, it made is impossible for them to grow at all. If they did, they'd crack, break or peel... Getting into a seriously corporate world made me realize I had to stop. I found some great stuff which helped them grow (I think it's called Sally Hanson Maximum Growth or something to that effect) and then started getting weekly manicures. It got slightly costly for a little while, but now that I've stopped biting them and they grow I can do them myself.

Found a bunch of old pictures the other day and you can see my hand on my friends shoulder..... icky with such short nails!!!

I only bite them if one breaks and is hanging off.
I used to bite them all the time when I was little though. I used to bite them all the way down to the skin.
I don't anymore because I like the way they look when I don't :)

I do bite my nails. But there are worse things that I could be doing........such as staying on this board all day.
