Got tied off gluing my fingers together trying to do the teabag method, so I chopped my poor babies down to somewhat respectable nubs and will try out a hydrating treament as soon as it arrives in the mail, since my nails are apparently made of brittle glass now :(
Worst is trying to go a week+ of no polish to try and give the treatment time to work while my break grows back out.
Nail Envy has a dry & brittle formula, OPI Avoplex is good for the times you're taking a break from polish, Sally Hansen Extra Moisturizing 4-in-1 nail treatment is great (and available at target! I just started using it, and after gels no less- already I can see a difference), and Nail Tek Hydration Therapy has a few different formulas depending on your nail type.
Hydrating treatments don't aim to compensate for lacking keratin, but instead help nails retain moisture by incorporating vitamins and chemicals that help draw and lock it in.
First things first - you've got to hydrate those puppies. Take a small bowl and heat up a tablespoon of coconut oil in the microwave. You can add a number of different oils to it; I use jojoba and olive oil. Add a couple drops of rosemary essential oil to it. When the oil cools down, soak your nails in the mixture. As you're soaking your nails, massage each one in circular motions, for about a minute. Do this 3x a week.
Drink plenty of water.
Invest in a good hair, skin and nails supplement. I like biotin and evening primrose oil. I started taking evening primrose oil a month ago, and I already have half an inch of growth on each of my nails.
Use a clear, nurturing nail polish - I really love Sally Hansen's Complete Care, 7-1. You can buy it at most drugstores or here, on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Sally-Hansen-Complete-Moisturizing-Strength/dp/B00392HBQC
Use this treatment once a week. It will keep your nails shiny and make you less prone to biting them.
Good luck! I'm a recovering compulsive nail-biter as well.
1: oh hey errmagerd! Thanks for the contests!
2: such nail art - Star Wars mani. I worked really hard on this one.
3: this is how we do it - I wish I had a secret for nail care! I've tried SO many products recommended here (and given them each a month of use) with no luck - but maybe one will work for you: Sally Hansen Complete Care, OPI Nail Envy Original, OPI Nail Envy Maintenance, ORLY Bonder, and Nail Tek. Still my nails peel at the tips. I really don't know what to do, aside from keeping my nails trimmed short or not polishing at all. I'm trying this by Sally Hansen, now. I've only been using this for one week, so it's too early to tell. I do use cuticle oil, and like most people here, I use Emerald & Ash (as well as Rainbow Honey & Essie Apricot Oil) - though, I'm not as religious about it as I probably should be. I tend to wait until my cuticles look in rough shape. >.>
