I used to be a dreadful nailbiter when I was younger; I've pretty much reformed, though if I have a nail break when I don't have a file handy, I may bite a little to even it off.
Nail polish is against the dress code at my job (so are fake nails), so I don't polish them anymore-- when I did I used a clear or natural color. I used to once in a while pamper myself with a "proper" manicure, but no point in it now.
Also, as I've gotten older my nails have become very brittle. They break and splinter much more than they did when I was young.
I used to bite my nails, but now my big battle is against picking at them. Usually I let them grow to a certain point and then they drive me nuts and I either bite them, pick them, or file them down to almost nothing!
I like manicures, but it's not really worth it unless I have a big event coming up. Usually it's more fun anyway to do it myself and be outrageous!
Do you use anything on your nails to strengthen them? I have some clear polish that is brilliant.
