growing them out...

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I am but they will be short b/c I cant stand them long.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I was thinking about putting tips on I do not bite my nails but they break easily

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

Oh man. My nails are TERRIBLE. I'm going to start going for weekly manicures starting next month. I find that when I keep them manicured I'm less likely to bite them. But I have to keep them up.

ETA: At first I thought I'd do fake nails....but looking back on pictures of me with fake nails (which I realize is a hysterical thought in the first place), I looked RIDIRKULOUS. So fake looking on my stumpy hands. So yeah - my real, short nails it is!

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I'm doing tips...I in no way want to worry about my nail polish chipping or me breaking a nail on my wedding day. Plus i think it looks nice:) And....when i go on my honeymoon i won't have to worry about them

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

i've been wearing them since we got engaged. i keep them very short. i do take them off every now and again so my nails can breathe, but i bite them as soon as the tips come off. i will do it for a while after the wedding. you do get used to them, and they look better than my bit my nails. i'm even worse at biting off the skin and cuticles around the nail. i know, super gross, but i don't do that at all w/the tips. if you keep them short they don't look bad at all, just takes some getting used to.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I thought I was the only one with this issue!

use fake like until a month before the wedding, so you can grow yours out.. and then ask the salon to do a gel manicure..(not a wrap).. it's a thin powder to make your nails a bit stronger and it does not look like fake!!

once you do remove the fake nails, make sure you ask them to shape it the way you want to with the lenght and stuff.. and just maintain it till the wedding!

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

my nails - i keep mine very short and manicured either a french or pale pink.....FH hates fake nails.....he likes them real and short so i'm not going to mess with them before the wedding....i happen to like fake with a permanent french but FH is into all natural so its fine with me! less money!

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

Whenever I gotten tips in the past they've made my real nails so weak when I take the tips off. I am going to grow mine out. Not too long. I am trying to take better care of them now and just keep them polished. When they have polish on them I don't bite them. In a few months I will try to start getting manicures every couple of weeks so they are in good shape by the time the wedding comes up.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I started with acrylic already so i would get used to them,. If i dont like them at least when they come off they will be grown.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

fake for me

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I bite mine sometimes. But when I put fake nails on, I do them very short, or I cant function (lol)

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I really like the way fake nails look with a french mani but they always end up trashing my nails. I'm just going to have mine short and a very light color.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

i am trying to grow them out. I find that if i have polish on them i don't bite them and they don't break. So i think i have to get a polish every week or so.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

tips...i dont bite my nails but they do break easily. but ill do a very short tip.

Re: For all you nail-biters out there....

I have silk wraps now and I am just keeping up with them until after the honeymoon and then I will get manicures after that.
