I bit my nails really low up until I was 17. I had tried everything to quit. I got a job as a waitress and was very self conscious about people seeing my hands. So my College tutor suggested I had nail extensions (in those days they were made from fibreglass, not acrylic). You can't bite through it plus the cost for me was also an incentive to stop biting. It was one of the best things I ever did. Now I have beautiful nails.

You can buy white cotton gloves at the chemist for about £1. Apply your handcream, put on your gloves and go to bed then not only will you not get scratched but the gloves help your cream soak in!

I don't man to bite them, I do it unconciously when I am anxious - which is often! They don't look too bad but my fingers are all funny shapes anyway so I am not sure if nice nails would make much difference.

Well done to all those who have been able to stop!

My nails are really strong and grow very quickly but I have to keep them short because of playing the cello. I do sometimes wear nail polish but I think it looks strange on short nails.

I am a nibbler, not really a biter. But my nails are truely pants! Far too soft and they split and shread all the time.

My hub paid for me to have a full set of acrylics done for my 40th and I loved them. Only went for frech polish finish, nothing too bright, didn't want to draw too much attention to my podgey little hands!

I loved having them, kept them for 4 months and missed them when I gave them up!

For me my 'bad' habit it is... I am a confirmed hair twiddler, especailly when my hair is freshly washed and soft, although happy to 'twiddle' at anytime really
