You are not hurting anyone and it may be an outlet for you. You are a very strong minded woman and if you decide that you really want to stop then you will but it is not something that you should spend too much time worrying about. You wanna bite your nails...bite them. You wanna quit....quit. You can do either and all will still be good with the world as far as this goes.DMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03225378007630353932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-83987954420359482018-10-31T05:25:26.377-04:002018-10-31T05:25:26.377-04:00Right, I never polish my nails.

I can't keep polish on very long, so I don't bother to do it very often. I do take vitamins for "hair and nails". My hair is quite thin. When I took prenatal vitamins my hair and nails were fabulous!!!TechChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11960422420943812763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003023702428993428.post-85090319958618821512018-10-30T17:44:47.114-04:002018-10-30T17:44:47.114-04:00I know you can do it.

I've done both acrylics and also did shellac manicures and now I am just "plain jane".

I went with the same idea as bitter nail polish, except I put ear wax on my nails - I know this is disgusting but that was the point! I didn't want to put that in my mouth haha!! I suppose vegetable oil or something similar might work too.<br /><br />Once I stopped biting my nails, I found that they were very thin and prone to bending and then breaking. A work friend recommended NailTek III which is a hardener and the regimen was: Day 1 clean off any polish with remover and then cut your nails short with a nail clipper, coat with the nail hardener and finish with a top colour. Day 2-7 add another layer of hardener. Repeat from Day 1 again for 4 weeks. It really helped me, but I'm not sure how much of it was the product or the regimen.

For the life of me I cannot remember what I was saving for at the time, but it was enough of a motivation.
