Day 1

Since I was little I have struggled with body focused repetitive behaviors. First it was sucking my thumb, then biting my nails, pulling my hair out, and picking at my skin. These behaviors can become unbearable and often uncontrollable for me. This past year I have gone on a journey to take back control of myself and my body. I am extremely happy to announce that I have gotten my skin picking under control and it no longer interferes with my life. Now over the past couple months… I’ve been trying to stop nail biting. It has not been easy. I go for maybe a week or two before I go back to my old habit. I am sick of not making any progress.

In a strange little last ditch effort, I have decided to make a blog showcasing my nail growth and shitty nail art. I hope I can inspire others to take a similar journey with me.

Bless your hearts and thank you for reading 💕

What I'm doing to grow healthy nails after 20 years of biting them

I'm at the start of my nail journey; I've had a nail biting habit since whenever I first had teeth (so going on 20 years now) because of boredom, anxiety, and rough bits as a result of biting keeps me in the cycle...

But I got a gel nail kit for my birthday this month and it's doing wonders so far! It was only about £20 from Amazon but a good place to start. I never found air dry nail paint to last which didn't motivate me to upkeep them.

Yes, ridiculously short nails being painted looks a bit silly, but it'll look great in a few months' time! Soon I'm going to get some BIAB gel to further help me, especially if the gel doesn't last. I've found neutral, subtler "professional" tones make it easier for me to keep them looking nice, because if they're brightly coloured I feel like they're being looked at too much! Which is definitely not the case, but it's the feeling that counts.

I found getting my nails done in a salon really helped but I am on a strict budget at the moment so I can't really afford the upkeep.

I also downloaded the Nail Keeper app. It allows progress pics and a timer from your last relapse, which has really helped me to realise how much I touch my face (which is probably the cause of my skin issues too!) and taking progress pictures makes me try harder not to ruin my nails again.

You can get a nail polish that tastes really bitter, but I never found it to help me and it seemed to rub off on everything (I had a very surprising bottle of Coke once).

Polish chipped so decided to repaint them. New color is Holo Toco One Coat Black with the Fallen Flake Taco on top. Feels very fitting for this kinda chilly day leading into fall 🍂🍁

I used to bite my nails to the point I'd bleed, which wasn't fun. Be recently I've not been biting them at all so here's the progress :)

Also I will cut them, I'm just proud of myself so far so I dont want to yet

[giggle-bee]

thinking about growing my nails out!! My nails are really brittle bc I bite them and they tend to bend a lot when I grow them out

I know some people like the wonderful @wishitweresummer who do acrylics but the thing is taking them off/maintaining them is difficult

So I’m thinking maybe a dip manicure???? I’ve never tried it and I’m also worried ab howbit will look w short nails

Any tips? I have a lot of nail supplies and extension material already so anything is fair game

An (almost) 8 year update

I remembered my login for this account and felt like leaving a post for posterity <3 I started this blog when I was 15 and desperate to stop biting my nails. Even though I made a lot of progress over the short course of posting here, I definitely didn’t stop when I was a teenager. My BFRBs got a lot worse while I was a college student, worse than I ever thought it could get when I was a 15 year old. I turn 23 next week and haven’t bitten my nails in nearly 2 years. I am so proud of myself, and I wish I could go back in time to show my younger self this picture. To little Katie, you are in graduate school and are going to be a therapist (not a physicist, I know…sorry girl). You don’t tuck your fingers into your hands all the time anymore. You don’t constantly feel pain in your hands. You don’t bleed every day from deep, painful, infected spots on your fingers. You get compliments on your manicures and nail polish (that you are now very good at doing yourself). You did it :)
