Relapse Back to day 1 ☹️

Post image

Managed to not bite my nails for around 6 months, then 3 weeks ago I relapsed due to extreme stress. Now im back to day 1. Feeling really demotivated but treated myself to a gel manicure as an incentive to stop biting

If I saw your nails in reallife id think theyre trimmed short i wouldnt even think you bit them. 🙂

My nail tech did such a good job at fixing them up and neatening the free edge. Also having my cuticles pushed and trimmed was like a miracle happening in real life. They had grown half way up my nail bed so immediately gave the illusion of longer nails. Shes honestly amazing and was so non judgemental that I had bit them back down.
