Well, I've got annoying cuticles. I push then back but they go right back. Also. I can't stop peeling the tips off. I want to grow them out. But they are are a weird shape. And help to make them ovals instead of circles??

You'll need to let them grow out a bit more before you can shape them. I recommend using a nail strengthener (you can pick this up at a drugstore) and cuticle oil or balm.

You shouldn't push them back, as that can damage the cuticles. I would get some cuticle argon oil cream, because that can make your nails stronger and healthier. trust me, when I was younger, I bit my nails and my cuticles, and it was horrible. the cream/oil works! and if you have your hands free, sit on them, play with a pencil, do something that will make them busy. and tell people around you that you are trying to stop biting your nails; when the see you doing it, they'll tell you to stop. I'm pretty sure they will grow out to be ovals, if not, you can go get a manicure. good luck!

I used to have the same problem with the tips. Here's what I did to get out of the habit. I would paint my nails all the time, first I wouldn't want to pick my nails because they looked pretty lol, then I would pick at the polish instead of the nail. Then as I got out of the habit and my nails started to grow out, I started to get gel nails (eventually I just bought a kit for myself to do to save money in the long run) also, keep your hands busy when you're bored. I would doodle all the time in school when I was bored. Also, keep a nail file on hand at all times incase you get a knick in your nail, you won't be tempted to pull on it. These are my nails now, they used to look terrible, I verily had a nail bed at all. I know they're not too too long, but I'm really happy with the length :)

And and as for the shape, as they grow out you can file them to be more squarish :)
