Why don't you try putting something very bitter on your nails to prevent you from further biting. Also, I heard that white iodene can strengthen nails, so that may be worth a try and would help your weakened nails growing strong. Importantly, do not get stressed. Take up some yoga or meditation to learn some relaxation techniques. Good luck!

give yourself a home pedicure. Put some moisturizing cream on, gentle file, cut, and buff the nails to help get rid of the extra glue, and acrylic, and also rinse them in some hot water first. If you want you nails to grow and have that not happen, you should just get manicures w/ ur natural nails. I started doing that awhile ago instead of getting tips, and my nails have grown a lot, and it's so much easier. Also, shorter nails are way in right now! But good luck either way! : )

You need to get alot of calcium (milk, dairy, etc) b/c that's really good for your nails. I've never had my nails done, but I have a 4-sided buffer. A friend gave it to me, so I don't know where she got it, but it evens out the roughness of your nail, then you can make it all shiny....almost as shiny as nail polish! I love it. I use it a lot. It should help, but they'll prolly have to grow out some to really look "normal" again. Keep them pretty short until they're stronger...less chance of painful breakage.

Hmmmm ok - for a one off only - get a gentle buffer and take the top surface of the rough off again. This is majorly invasive and will damage the nail even more though.. Add a coat of clear polish and leave well alone for a few weeks!

put on clear nail polish 2 times a week for about a month. that happened to me and my nails became normal again after that.

You can buff them and cover with a liberal amount of clear strenthening polish, it will cover them up a bit but fake nails badly damage real ones. Your only option is to grow them out.

use a smoothing nail file and file out the ridges and the weird lifted up laters of the nails and then go over it with a 3 way buffer and smooth them out, and then put on a cuticle oil to condition them,

take biotin pills and vitamins and wait a few weeks then you'll never need fake nails again
