Will fake nails help my problem?

I agree with Kat. I have the same problem. I would just wear fake ones only for very special occasions. Otherwise, just try really hard to quit biting them and start using strengthening nail polish. There are so many brands, but they do work. Once you see that your real nails are growing a little, you will be less likely to bite them. In a couple weeks they will still be short nails, but they will not look bad because they will not be bitten down to stubs and they will look healthy and not embarring. Within 30-45 days they will be completely healthy and long and your confidence will be so much higher. I know it is hard to quit biting them at first but once you start to apply that clear strengthening polish and you see the results, you will want to let them grow. Trust me on this because I am a nail biter and I have been dealing with this problem all my life. It sucks because I will let my nails get really long and pretty and when I stress out I bite them down till they hurt! Then I have to wait for a month and a half again to get them to be long and pretty. It happens over and over. But honesty, the fake nails---pain in the ! I hate them, it's better to just try to be natural. Good luck :0
