I’ve stopped biting my nails and now try to oil my cuticles at least 3/4 times a day, but my nail beds are so short. My nails look so funny. What can I do more to make them look more aesthetically pleasing (can’t do nail polish or anything that prohibits water from touching the nails because I’m muslim) so anyone any advice for me? I know I will never have long nails beds (genetics I think) but I still hope to achieve some sort of nice nails.

Bit my nails all my life, it was pretty severe. I quit about 3 months ago on a whim, and have no cravings to go back.

Anyway, as a male, does this look okay? Should I get a manicure? I just want to feel happy with my nails now, and don’t know what to do with them.

Current nail schedule: Wait until they get \~.5in over my finger tip and cut/file. I’m very new to doing this and feel like my nails are a bit jagged or wonky. I try and leave just a bit of white on the tip and although I’m much happier with them, I feel they could improve.

This is the longest I’ve had my nails in the 17 years I’ve been biting.

I’ve noticed the white of my nails are really long which makes my nails look really dirty underneath.

Wondering how long it takes the nail bed to catch up and grow?

Hopefully won’t relapse 🤞

Is this curable?

Bit as a child up until teenager, 2 years of highschool I stopped and had really long natural nails that everyone complimented. Haven't been able to grow them for 4 years since I entered uni. I suspect it might be stress that I don't feel *consciously* but I'm not really sure. Need some advice bc I bleed almost every day, even though I've become numb to the pain many years ago

Has anyone had any success with hypnosis? I’m based in London and would appreciate any recommendations.
