After years and years and years and years I stopped biting my nails a few months ago but I can never get them to not break. It's like damn, why'd I'd stop in the first place. Anyways, how do you guys take care of your nails?

Ditto dude. When they get to any longish length they break.
So they are all deformed.

Same here. When I finally get them to a pretty long length, some start breaking so I have different shaped nails. sad.gif But I started to use this Sally Hansen product called Maximum Growth: Daily Nail Growth Program & it really works. You basically apply it everyday. It helps in making them grow & keeping them strong.

Normally I would like to do anything with my nails, french manicure, different colors, stuff from herôme etc.

But since I have a job ( two jobs ~~ .. ) they keep breaking. I hate that. So I gave up with taking care of them phoe.

Ugh I don't see any on Sally Hansen's website but there are some out there. Just look for them in the nail polish section. :)

I used No Bite It to ween me off biting my nails. I can't find it online, but here are a couple of other brands: http://search.folica.com/search?p=Q&ts...amp;x=0&y=0

damn i actually don't meet too many kids like myself that don't bite their nails. ever since i was a kid, i've always had a habit of keeping them clean. i'm assuming like hair, good dieting. if you use nail polish, use a base coat, especially something that has protein in it.

damn google is not really giving much, one site's advice contradicts another.

hmmm i used to bite my nails but i got braces for like, 2 years, so there's not much point in that is there lol

anyway, try REVLON post trauma nail treatment
http://www.revlon.com/productcatalog/Produ...px?ProductID=82

i just used it yesterday and they harden my nails and make it less easier to break - not that it does anyway because i keep my nails short.
