♡~Zofya~♡ I’ve heard about them, but when you’ve been doing it for nearly 10 years, and you have likely anxiety or are ND, it’s hard to break.

Clay Well, I feel like short ones would work, if they were just the length of a short natural nail. However, I can’t wear ones that go past my fingertips because I play violin, and it would royally fuck up my posture/playing ability.
I just have to go get short ones if I want to wear them consistently, and I would have to glue them, because the sticky tabs don’t do shit lmaooo

Clear nail polish helps me, because instead of chewing my nails I scrap off the nail polish with my teeth.

@Your-Local-Reaper I used to bite my nails constantly, not out of stress though. I used to do it to keep my mouth occupied when I didn’t have a random piece of gum in my pocket. I don’t have much advice other than paint your nails a pretty color than coat it with a nasty long lasting clear nail polish. If that doesn’t work I would also recommend long lasting acrylics (if you can afford it.) Acrylics for about a month should get you used to not chewing on your nails. One thing I think you should also try out, is coat your nails with something super spicy. My mom had an empty nail polish holder and she mixed water with Jalapeño juice and she would paint my sister’s nails with it.

Best advice I can give is make your nails really pretty or make it taste really nasty. Hope you get out of the habit
