I used to be a compulsive nail biter, and I wanted to stop but needed a creative way to do it. So I decided to make them an art project. It helps me not bite them because I don’t want to ruin all the hard work I’ve done. I have to keep up with them and sharpen them about once a week. It also makes it easier to open packages, which is great.

I’ve since relapsed —but as a compulsive nail biter my entire life, I got my first manicure this past winter and for the first time in my life my nails looked presentable. the clear polish is nice like a worry stone for me, satisfying the same urge that biting did—it’s a nice thing to do for yourself every 3 weeks or so I’ve discovered.

CALLING ALL NAIL BITERS AND PEOPLE WHO PICK AT THEIR NAILS!!!!
I have found a solution that works for me, so I'm sharing it in case it can help anyone else!
I was a CRAZY nail biter. Bit my nails until I was like 15. I ended up stopping and picking at my nails instead, then I went back to biting them, then I stopped.
I tried Gel nail polish and it ruined my nails. Made them super thin and they broke SO easily. Tried Aacrylics and they worked! The issue was that when my nails would break, I'd bite/pick at them again then I would need Acrylics again and it was not fun. Also apparently the formula is SUUUPER bad for you, so I eventually ran into the issue of "my nails are all short but I don't want those chemicals on me."
Went to a new nail tech after I moved and she introduced me to this thing called SNS. My favorite thing on the planet. Sending so much love to the creator. SNS is a powder that you dip your nails in and it helps them grow and get strong. First they had to put that plastic extra length on my nails because they were so short, but once my nails grew we only put SNS on my natural nails because they were so long!
They use a gel top coat but it's on top of the powder, so none of that touches or harms your natural nail. Some nail techs use UV lights to finish the gel, but some just use a fan. SNS has made my nails so long and strong and I am always in awe of how they look. They're strong like acrylics so I can bite and pick at them and nothing happens. They're so cute and they help relieve the stress of worrying about my nails since I know no matter what I do, they will stay looking amazing!

Mario Party is a great game to play with friends, but no one ever talks about how fun it is to also play alone with the CPUs. Getting your friends to play Mario Party is actually harder than you think, because people don’t want to commit to something for an hour. But with the CPUs, you have these little computer friends to play with anytime you want, and you can make them really dumb, so you win every time – it’s really great for the ego.

Really fun to dance to but also beautiful and magical at the same time. A great mood booster
