I was a nail biter and under stress still am.

I started painting my nails and that helped me stop. First reason was I didn't want to eat polish flakes. And second I started liking the look of painted nails.

I've e slowly healed my nail beds so they are longer. I use a nail nourishing lotion to make them stronger.

Now when I'm under stress I just chew my thumb nail. It is kind of the sacrifice nail.

Thank you so much!… but polishing my nails haven’t recovered my growth! Like when my anxiety kicks in .. i used to remove the polish flakes with my other fingers and then again bites off

I get it! I've heard of dipping fingers in castor oil because it tastes bad.
