Finger nails...

[PureChaos]

i bite mine a fair bit. been trying to stop for many, many years but haven't succeeded yet

 

[Geamo]

I actually dont bite mine. I have to do this OCD-like thing with my hands- something has be to occupying them. Hence, when I have pens nearby I dismantle them as far as they will go, then re-assemble them. If I have nothing else, I start picking at my nails. Tis annoying.

Sadly I bite my fingernails.

I'm trying desperatly to quit, and I've yet to bite a whole nail in a couple of days now, but I can feel the urge and my fingers itching. Gah, I can't stand it. I'm trying to have some gum in my mouth often, so I have it occupied... Seems to have worked fairly well so far.

Any tips for a raging nailbiter on the "water wagon"?

My nails are pretty long i cant stand them being short there was this one incident where I shattered every one of them, so yeah keep them long.

I hate long nails, not practical and they get in the way.
I don't bite them, I keep them short but long enough to put polish on and they are well looked after.

I never bite mine, and I keep mine relatively short. I don't cut them every other day or anything of the sort, but I cut them before they become what I feel I should refer to as "diva length."

Thing is, I actually tried something like that, but I kept on biting and in the end I've grown accustomed to the taste and thus it had no effect.

That was some years ago, so I might as well give it another shot, perhaps they have it in stock at the pharmacy.

mine are way too long right now, I need to cut them badly.

 

[The_Echo]

Mine are currently rather long, but I'm no hurry to cut them, especially since all the clippers in my house have vanished. Used to bite them, then I stopped and I hadn't noticed until a couple months ago, which would have been like, half a year after stopping...

 

[Rickyvantof]

I bite 'em.

 

[Chaos Marine]

I have a... a thing about finger nails and I keep a clipper with me at all times and my finger nails are always trimmed.

Long fingernail freak me the Hades out and as much as I adore horror movies, watching The Ring, in particular, that scene where the girl without fingernails crawls out of the television not only makes me squeal like a school girl and curl up into a foetal position, it made me vomit. Any and all injuries or damaged nails will make me sick and I feel queasy right not having just remembered it. *Shudders*

[Edit]

I also refuse to shake hands with people who cracked nails and I have recoiled with looks of horror and disgust at girls with long fingernails. Ho boy, explaining why never stops being super awkward.

I have to have my nails long, when I was little it was self defense against my older brother and its a habit, I never cut them because half the time they break off. If I didn't have long nails I couldn't even use they keyboard on my cell phone.

 

[LilGherkin]

I cut my nails about every other day because I hate seeing the white tips emerging.

 

[son_of_khorne]

My nails are unnaturally strong and sharp, I have loads of claw marks next to my bed from scratching the wall when I am asleep. They also never break until they get at least 1cm or more but I generally cut them before then.

 

[Ace of Spades]

I always forget to clip them, and then they get caught on stuff and get ripped off.

 

[Slick Samurai]

I've been biting my fingernails all my life down to stubs. People don't seem to notice though and my fingernails are always clean so =P

Longish right hand for finger picking, very short on left hand for fretting.

I cut the right hand when I feel like playing different styles of music or just not looking stupid.

I generally like having a bit of white on the nail, though.
