My Nail Growth Challenge.

Okay. I'm 18 and I've been biting my nails since I was a little kid. It's one of those things I really enjoy. But since my exams started I've notice my nails were getting smaller and smaller. It's got to the point where I can't stand to look at them.

So for my own self esteem I'm making a change and I'm going to stop biting them and try and take better care of them. It's my first day of not biting them, and so far I don't think I have consciously bitten them. Finger crossed.

1st

I've recently started my exams and I've been having problems with my nails. They've been dry and sore. So I've started off using Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle and Nail Treatment, and it's working wonders from the first use I notice my cuticles felt softer and less sore.

2nd

I use a cuticle remover tool to push back my cuticles and reveal more nail. It can hurt alittle but as long as you don't make with fingers bleed, a little pain is a sizeable loss in the quest for beautiful nails.

You need to file all the rough edges off your nails, otherwise these might catch on your clothes and cause breakage. Plus they'll look soo much tidier.

Tip: Always file into the centre of your nail edge. This will reduce chances of breakage, as sawing at your nails weakens the nail fibres. Then if you get a point in the centre just gently file down the edge.

4th

Use a multiple side nail file. This will shape, smoothen, buffer and shine your nails to perfection. Be gently and don't press hard for any of the side.

The amazingness of this tool is they usually give you a step by step direction on the file it self. Giving you an idea of which side to begin with.
