Why didn't the false nails work? After over 50 years of being a nail biter, I had false nails for my son's wedding in June. It was abroad, so my hope was that they would stay on for the weekend. But they lasted and if I damaged one, I had it replaced. All the time my own nails were growing and about 5 weeks ago, I had all the false ones soaked off and, hey presto, I have lovely nails which I now don't want to bite. I have them done every couple of weeks and it's such a novelty for me and real 'me time'. Did you put the false nails on or have them done professionally?

Keep a picture of a lovely hand with fab in your purse and one with stumpy nails and keep reminding yourself which one you would rather have! Not sure if you're married but imagin which one would look best on your wedding day!

I used to (and sometimes still do) bite my nails. The reason i did it, is i HATE to see mucky nails and dirt behind peoples nails. I used to bite them so they weren't filty like that. Also, hen nails have been biten down they tend to grow uneven which looks terrible too ao i used to bite them down to keep them neat.
Things that helped me were professional gel/acrylic extentions, but also having my nails beautifully painted in a deep red or other trendy colour (black looks good on short nails). You can't see your nails growing and you will be suprised how quick they grow in just a week or so. You can always reapply again to keep looking tidy?

Good luck!
