How I stopped biting my nails

I have bitten my nails since I can remember! I have also tried every method in the book, from bitter nail polish to manicures to just trying really hard. But I have always failed … until I started getting Aprés Nail extensions! Their claim to fame is that when applying these extensions they don’t buff your nail and removal is the same as gel polish. (Think super fancy press on nails with soft gel adhesive) Celebrities like Ariana Grande have been fans of this method because it doesn’t damage your natural nail. In New York I have been going to Paint Bucket - in Williamsburg (Sonam is my technician and she honestly the best). The price for these nails is around 90 dollars and Paint Bucket has the cheapest prices by far. On average my nails would last around 2.5 weeks! And if I would start picking at them and removing them the damage wasn’t that bad to my nail.
The reason why I think this method worked for me was because my nail was covered and didn’t peel like a normal gel manicure so I wasn’t ruining my nails. Since the removal and application is gentle I was able to grow my nails and still keep them strong.
Trust me this process took me around a year and I had lots of times where I would bite my nails. But after doing these extensions consistently my brain stopped having the urge!
