Treat for nails?

    Hi guys,

    I'm a serial nail biter but I haven't bitten them since before Christmas now (we're talking at least 3/4 weeks) and so I was thinking of treating my nails to keep me motivated and to get my nails and the surrounding area in good shape.

    I'm just wondering what people would recommend? Is there anything in particular that would be good for weak nails recovering from a lifetime of abuse? I really want to keep this up and nails breaking has started on biting again before.

    I also would rather something on the cheaper end of the budget if possible! I'm based around Dublin City Centre and am in Wicklow Town most weekends.

    Also any nail care tips in general would be appreciated! :)

    Also attached a pic of my nails to show how they are atm though I suppose it doesn't really make a difference! (I just wanna show off :P)

    Very pretty :)

    Get some Burts Bees Lemon Cuticle cream in your local health food shop and rub a little bit in to your nails, cuticles and the surrounding dry or split areas, and it'll keep them supple, moisturised and more resilient to breaking or splitting. I do it last thing at night so it has a chance to work and it only takes a minute. During the day, if you wash your hands and get to use a bit of hand cream, rub your nails of one hand in the palm of the other before its completely absorbed so that your nails and fingertips get a dose of moisture.

    Keep up the good work.:D

    You could get your nails done? Doesn't have to be a manicure as I know they're quite expensive, but most salons should do a file and paint for cheap enough. Your nails will then be too pretty to bite :D

    Thanks girls. I'm going to do something about both those ideas :-)
    I'm fairly broke though so it could be next month before I can!

    I've just lost my icky tasting anti nailbiting stuff which is not good. Hopefully I can keep this motivation up without it! :-(
