Nail Biters

[Bootyful]

In my course, on the second day of doing acrylics, I had to do a nail biter. It totally threw me off. They were so badly bitten, she had bitten down into the pink area and one half of the nail was missing as it got caught in a car door.

Does everyone do nail biters as extreme as this? I thought it was alot for me to do on day 2 of learning acrylics. I accidentally made them shorter than what she wanted, but I was just so nervous, as they looked quite bad.

I myself am a nail biter, which is a form of anxiety and sometimes OCD disorder. Usually when I do my own set, I pick at them until about 2 weeks into having them filled, then I bite them off completely. My work is very good and it really sucks having to re do them all the time when there is no point in it, although I just cannot help it.
I also have a lot of clients who are nail biters, who also say to me when they call a week later with all of them off, that they just couldnt help it.
I have been getting better at trying to pick out when it is that I am biting and force myself to stop, although sometimes I do it without noticing. One thing to do for nail biters would be to buy tips. This is my favorite method. Even with ladies who have very short nails due to nail biting, your sets will look gorgeous.
