Stop biting my nails

This is the best new years resolution I ever stuck to.
What worked for me is always having a nail file with me to make sure my nails were smooth. If I had a snag, I would bite it.

Acrylic nails help me to stop biting

I've gone 5 weeks without biting my nails (since I physically cannot bite them off) but I'm still ending up cutting them super short.

Right now I can't bite my nails because I have temporary teeth which don't have much biting ability. So now the trick is just not trimming them so short.

Determined as not biting nails for 30 days

Complete when I get them to a length I like, without bitting them (on the way to the length, and after)

UPDATE: I'm working on it, doing okay.

I got a horrible infection from biting my nails :(

One month and a half of no biting my nails

2.10.2016-Almost... I bite just my nails on right hand.. :D
13.11.2016-All nail are same size. i FINALLLY STOP BITING MY NAILS.

First day of not biting - 3/29/16

57 days in a row so far (8/27/15)

I had nail tips put on and they grew out and so did my nails. Now to get them stronger but I'm not biting!

I will consider this complete when I complete 100 days of no nail biting

Thanks to my sister's wedding I can say I've finally broken my lifelong bad habit of biting my nails as of September 2014.

I have tried to stop biting and/or picking my nails for years. I can go a month or two without biting but then I start the process all over again. I will consider myself broken of the habit after 3 months of no normal biting or picking.

Began on 27th December 2013.....here goes!

No biting my nails for the best year. I pledge from this day forward to not bite any part of my nails for the next year.

Day 1: Fail
Days 2-9: Success

Getting there, keeping them tidy with nail scissors helps.

I have a feeling I will always be fighting this battle but looks like I am about there!

I think, finally after years of trying it, that I have accomplished it. I'm really happy about that and I know you all will have the strength too! You can do that!

For at least one month.

congrats to those 154 people who have completed this!

I believe I stopped.. I don't bite them anymore, but i do have to wear nailpolish or I will do it again. I suppose.

For at least one month

Let's save this for 2012!

It's been 2 weeks since I stopped biting my nails. They look pretty.

I bought some nail polish and painted my nails yesterday in hopes it will help me stop! 2/20/12 is day one of no nail biting!

I tried yesterday, but then I bite like four of my finger nails...

working on it. haven't bit in a good few weeks.

I can't believe I did this!

I'm already part of the way there - I don't keep my nails bitten all the way down all the time any more. But I still tend to bite them off when they get too long.

Starts: 16.01.2012

Just cut all my nails, to get all of them growing up together.

PLEASE. I NEED THIS.
