I have short ugly stubby nails?

Question

That look like this, is there a way I can make them look longer and nice like this (or similar): If so , how?

Well first stop biting them. People who bite their nails or did in the past tend to have nails like that.
If you want them to grow nicely, moisturize your hands. Take care of your cutticles. I do that by putting on any type of balm, you can use oil I you prefer, wait a bit until that soaks in and your cutticles are soft, and then gently push tmen downwards with a small orange stick or another nail. This will elongate your nail bed a bit.

You look like you bite your nails. Do you?

Are your nails soft? If so, you probably have some kind of vitamin deficiency that prevents their growth. My nails have only just started to grow because I very recently started some new supplements.

First stop chewing then that’s your biggest issue then Get these vitamins called hair skin and nails that will strengthen them. Then go to a beauty shop and get a strengthing polish to put down before you color them best of luck

Do you bite your nails? Or just cut them really short? Have you ever tried gel polish?

Do you have anxiety or something similar? Biting your nails is a common trait among those.

If you don't already you could go see a doctor or a therapist and see if they have any help with it since if it's an mental illness it"s not always going to be as easy as just stopping to bite on them.

I have anxiety and have bitten a lot on my fingers, it's only now after a lot of therapy that that's gotten better.

I could be wrong, but I'm about 95% certain the nails in the second pic are fake plastic. However, if you want them to look nicer, don't mess with them too much. My girlfriend goes to town on her nails sometimes with her nail kit and it makes them worse. The best thing is to just let them grow out naturally.

Grow them out. I have nails like yours, I will bite them subconsciously if I do not have nail polish on. Try clear nail polish for a start and once it reaches certain length, apply the colors you like 😊

Don’t bite them! They’ll grow. I would try and put a clear coat of nail polish on them every few days and that will help too.

You need to stop biting them and let them grow. -Hugs- <3 :-P

when I decided to keep my nails long I started keeping them painted, filing instead of clipping them, cutting and pushing my cuticles and keeping them out of water for long periods of time. hope this helps <3

Stop fucking chewing them. Look at how chewed they are. Keep them out of your mouth and stop picking and chewing them.
