Introduction

Hello all!!  


Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day and life and spending it with me!!  I love everything that has to do with nails and make-up, but I will have posts about other things too.
My love for nails began at an early age, but I could never grow my nails.  I am a nail biter!  I know, I know, it's such a disgusting habit, but for me, it's a nervous thing.
For all of you out there who have the same problem as me, here's a little hint:
No matter how ugly you think your hands look, trust me, they don't.  We can all have beautiful, manicured finger!!  All you need is some patience and nail polish!!!!
I've stopped biting my nails and I'm gonna share some of my pointers with all of you and I hope that you're just as successful as I am!!


Step 1:
STOP BITING YOUR NAILS!!  That's an obvious one, right?  It's a lot easier said than done, trust me, I know!!


Step 2:
File your nails (whatever is left of them) into a rounded shape














Step 3:
Buff and polish your nails.  My favourite one is from thebodyshop.ca












Step 4:
Take care of your cuticles, your nails will thank you!!
My favourite is from www.sephora.com and it's the L'Occitane Cuticle and Nail Cream.  This cream contains Shea Butter and does not contain any parabens or synthetic dyes (you want to avoid that kind of stuff, they'll dry our your skin in 3 seconds flat!!)














Step 5:
Apply your favourite nail polish and top coat.


You will get the urge to bite your nails, that's for sure, but you will take a moment to think about it first because you have nail polish on.  The nail polish acts as a protector in this case.  If you feel like you still wanna bite your nails, my trick is, I actually start to peel the nail polish off (NEVER SWALLOW NAIL POLISH).  In the first 2 weeks, when I starting growing my nails, I put nail polish on like 10 times!!  


After 2 weeks, you'll start to see the white of your nails coming along and you'll feel soooo proud of yourself.  


After the 2 weeks, you can re-file your nails into whatever shape you think suits you.  I personally like the square look with rounded edges, kinda like this:










And keep following the same steps as above.  
After about a month (depending on how fast your nails grow), pat yourself on the back, YOU'VE DONE IT!!!!!!!  Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Until next time, remember, the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams


XOXO
