I recently stopped chewing my nails and they're growing back!!!! They're sharper than ever, and it kindof feel's a little funny, but at least they don't hurt and bleed like when I always chewed them, and they look half decent! And I can actually scratch an itch!!! I've only once had my nails done professionally 26 years ago almost to the day as today is our 26 year wedding anniversary and I had them done for our wedding! French white tips with blue and silver little gems! The other day I got to choose out of my daughters massive nail polish collection for a nail polish that I could wear, and I chose a light eurodescent purpleish color I liked best! I hope they grow long, I hope I never go back to chewing my nails again! I hope quitting smoking is just as easy as quitting chewing my nails!!!
