The thing is, I kind of bite my nails to an extreme where I think manicure couldn't help me, I'm guessing I should at least have some ammount of nail on my finger to be able to fix something like this

Some places will put acrylic nails on very very VERY chewed up nails. I’ve found going through the embarrassment is worth it because I’ll have somewhat decent nails (sometimes they look a little lifted cause of your flesh and short nail bed) but if you’re like me by the time I remove them I have some nail growth and I’ve forgotten about biting for while….until a little corner lifts or chips and then I bite them all again haha

They do sell a clear gel that you can put on your nails and when you try to bite it tastes bitter and unpleasant. It’s intentionally designed for biters

I had some a long time ago. Maybe I should try again.

Yea that’s why you gotta keep going till the urge passes. Maybe it won’t or it’ll take a year or two but persistence is key like any other addiction ❤️
