  • Nail Biting!!

    Ok, I admit it.  I bite my nails.  I am horrible and I can’t stop.  I can go for a few days, even a week without biting them, but as soon as they get pretty and long, I have to bite them.  I don’t know what it is…its a disease, I tell ya! I tend to bite my nails when I get stressed.  Needless to say, I’ve been a bit stressed lately.  Its mostly work stress, not wedding stress, because wedding planning is oh-so-fun and not at all stressful!

    According to wikipedia, nail biting is a symptom of an emotional problem.  Only 19% to 29% of young adults have this problem, and its more common in boys than girls.  Great.  I am a young adult male with an emotional problem.  

    I have really tried to stop biting.  I’ve tried getting a manicure, but then I just ruin the manicure (oh, what a waste of $15 dollars!)  I’ve tried those bad tasting polishes, and they don’t really work very well.  I’ve tried forcing myself not to bite, which lasts about a weeks at most.  I just am out of ideas!  Normally, I don’t really care what my nails look like but for my wedding day, I want them to be perfectly French manicured. 

    What else can I do?  Please help!!!
