Okay so you know the pink parts of your fingernails? I've fucked mine up. I bite my nails so much that I've teared away a lot of the pink layers. I'm not sure entirely how to describe it but now my left thumb is really bad and ugly and I'd submit a picture but I dunno. Do you have any advice on what might repair it? In sorry if this is vague but it's also pretty time sensitive because I can't left my mum see it and it's not too easy to hide. - nails
Hey sweetie,
I don’t think there is much you can do for now. Your nail will probably grow back after a while if you stop biting it.
You should try to stop biting your nails, it’s not only ugly but can also be pretty painful. Here are some things you can try when you start biting again:
chewing gum,
putting your hands in your pockets,
twiddling your thumbs,
playing with a ball or an elastic band,
clasping your hands together,
eating a carrot,
or clipping or filing them instead
Another thing you can do, and that also covers up your short nail, is get fake nails. If you know someone who can do that ask them what’s possible (because I think your nails should have a certain length for it).
Also, for now to hide it from your mom you can just put a bandaid over it and say you have a little cut or something.
Good luck!
