So I'm a chronic nailbiter - inherited. I managed to grow my nails before my proposal (I knew it was coming!) but in the last month I've fallen off the wagon.
Anyone got any tips on how to stop biting them? My bpics and engagement pics are next month and I don't want chewed nails...

This stuff SAVED my nails. Best stuff in the world. You can find it at Ricky's or online. Duri Rejuvacote. It's strong stuff, but I swear it really works.

I second that!! Just don't peel them or else they'll break!
Here's another tip - my aunt was a nail biter and in order to gte her fix she would only bite one nail on her hand... she chose her right thumb so that she can still bite something but it wasn't on 'the hand' and didn't look terrible. Try that!!
Good luck!!!

Re: Arrrrgh my nails!
use vaseline at night to keep your cuticle moist. When they dry out that's when i start ripping my fingers apart. The vasaline helps a lot

Ditto! I was a crazy nail biter! I was good for a few years, but I have short acrylic nails now because with my line of work I'm always washing my hands, and as hard as I try they're always breaking

I agree with Jsquared. The gel manis are hard to bite off and they look so pretty that you really won't want to!

I pick at mine. I find that as long as I keep them nice, ie, painted, I don't bother with them. It's when they start to get chipped and scraggly that I attack them.

Re: Arrrrgh my nails!
If I paint them, I spend the day picking off the paint! I'm terrible! I might try one of those gel manicure things before my bpics
Thanks ladies!

Re: Arrrrgh my nails!
I just picked up the rejuvacote tonight. I put it on, I don't think I'm going to be able to pick this stuff off like nail polish! COOL!
If they aren't looking good by Oct 16th, I'll get one of those OPI manicures and then they will look fab for the bpics!
