  The only reason I don't bite them anymore is because of germs. I pick my cuticles and the skin around my nails a LOT.

  I picked flawless... but they're not. I just don't pick or bite.  If I keep my nails painted, I find that they stay in better shape overall.

  I pick more than bite. But it is more of a nervous habit than anything else.
  I had dinner the other night with another couple and the husbands bites his nails down to the middle of the nail bed!

  I marked pick, but I only pick if I broke it. Once my nail is broken, I have to pick and try to makes it look like it isn't broken. Really I just make it worse though.

  My nails are fine, it's the cuticles I pick and bite at.

  In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

  I worked hard to stop myself from biting them to nothing like I use to. I pick my nails all the time, can't stop myself, but at least I stopped biting them and can grow them out really pretty.

  DH used to do that, and it seriously grossed me out. He started putting this super-hot pepper nail polish on his nails, and it helped him stop!
  
  As for my nails, I keep them really short because otherwise I just break them all the time, and I end up biting to even them out when they break funny.

  I usually bite them and pick at the skin and cuticles. I wouldn't say they are always bit down to the nubs but occasionally I will bite them to the point where they hurt. It's a really bad habit, especially being a school teacher and being around germy kids all day!

  I never bite my nails and never have. But I am a cuticle cutter junkie. Any little bits and the special tool comes out. (gross girl fact: it sometimes even sits next to the laptop so that I WONT pick at them and make it worse) Ive been a little better lately not that I'm doing my own manicures. Something about what they do at the nail shop seems to make them worse in the long run?

  fun fact: I can't bite my nails. My dentist filed down my front teeth a looong time ago because I had a chip in one of my front teeth from a little run in with a jungle-gym in elementary school. So my teeth are blunted, but I pick the christ out of my cuticles.

  I go in spurts. They look nice and grow long and I take care of them. Then something happens and one breaks or is uneven and then it all goes to shit. I even out shellac on my nubs in Aug to force myself to leave them alone and grow out. It worked but I never redid the shellac so 2 weeks after I removed it, I bit them. I usually do it in the evenings when I'm on the couch. I should take up knitting or something
