I remember using that awful sponge thing when i was little, i remember the taste was so foul but it still didn't stop me biting them, i'd just go *bite* 'UGH!!'. <br />My actual nails don't ever look that bad because nowadays i only bite them down to my fingers edge, but i bits off my cuticles and the skin around my nails, so i'm always left with horrible scabs, bleeding wounds and similar :(<br />So i'm afraid i can't offer anything to help, but just so you know you're not alone :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826519045476463458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911908044344312957.post-29704377976095015122010-02-03T10:08:29.874+00:002010-02-03T10:08:29.874+00:00Claire: Hey, welcome to my blog :) You've done...Claire: Hey, welcome to my blog :) You've done well! I think once you get over the first few weeks of not biting, it gets a lot easier. Thanks for the advice!<br /><br />Louise: Is that OPI stuff any good? I'm going to Sallys today and they always have tonnes of nail care stuff like that so I will check it out. Good luck with growing them!<br /><br />Une Tasse: They look painful but they don't hurt at all..Mine have picked up a bit but I think that's because they usually don't get the chance so this is good. Next week will be the fourth week of growth..the next post about nails will explain it..<br /><br />Crissy: My natural shape is ok I think, I've never grown them long enough to have a look but they do grow nicely when I leave them to grow..I'm going to start using a SH intensive grower product as I've heard only good things.Rhamnousia @ Desi Girl Does Makeuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279458137094303520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911908044344312957.post-68374187524947348512010-02-02T19:20:10.845+00:002010-02-02T19:20:10.845+00:00I have the same problem mine grow slow and weird. ...I have the same problem mine grow slow and weird. like very wide at the base. I hate them. I get frustrated when i grow them out and i'll rip em off! lol or they'll chip naturally. I use sally hansen nail growth treatment and that works fine enough, only wish they had a better natural shape. :(Crissy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16148088209599166133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4911908044344312957.post-10489266833524828702010-02-02T17:45:27.624+00:002010-02-02T17:45:27.624+00:00oww your poor nails!

I loved my nails back then, I used to get asked if they were fake! Then I lost them in a fight with filing cabinets and the biting started up again. December 2008 I got engaged and decided I couldn't have a gorgeous engagement ring and disgusting nails so I grew them out yet again, and whilst I'm now at college and have to keep them reasonably short, they are of an ok length.<br /><br />It took me a little while to grow them, but once you start seeing growth and white you'll be excited! I know I was. The trick I learnt was to file down the white ever so slightly and get rid of any rough edged, hanging parts so you are not likely to try and nibble them off. Always carry a nail file with you, crystal ones are brilliant, because if you find a snag in your nail and try to tweak it with your teeth it's a no-no and you'll soon start biting away.<br /><br />Moisturise your hands and cuticles, so when your nails start growing and you can apply more polish you already have good looking cuticles and soft skin, another thing that makes bitten hands look bad.<br /><br />It will take time and a lot of patience, if you bite just try again. Don't give up!<br /><br />Good luck! xClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14566581203465669680noreply@blogger.com
