Biting Nails

This is something that neaarly 50% of the population does: biting nails. People often do it in situations where they are nervous, stressed, bored or excited. In it's extremes people don't have any nails anymore.

I personally bite my nails too. I don't do it extreamely much, my nails don't really look like it, but it still bugs me alot. I observe myself especially biting them when I'm watching TV and am totally drown into something. Or I do it when I'm really nervous. Nail biting is something that I really want to get rid of. I started in elementary school when I saw a friend of mine always doing it and I imitated it. Actually, I went through a phase where I considered long nails as disgusting and I hated it when I had long nails. I always bit them so they weren't that long anymore. Luckily, I never bit them too much. Therefore I can say that I am very lucky that it doesn't look bad now. In order to stop me from biting them I use coloured nail polish. When I used invisible nail polish it didn't help because even if I bit it off you would still not notice it. But when I'm wearing cloured polish you see when I was biting them and it looks stupid. And this really helps me.

I started to consider long nails pretty again. But I definitly highly dislike fake nails. Especially when they are way too long. I want nails that look natural and that I can work with, not some super long posh nails that I can't even brush my hair with. Now, with exams coming I fear of starting to bite my nails again. But I will stay strong.
