How to get nice nail beds?

I've finally ditched my horrible habit of biting my nails and they're now at a good length (at thought the length and shapes aren't quite even due to cracking). But my nail beds suck. They're very uneven and some are cut and ripped. I want to get shellac done to keep my nails stronger but I feel like it'll look horrible with my nails being uneven and my nail beds being gross. I do rub lotion into them every day but there isn't any great improvements. How can I get them to look like this photo?

It's going to take time before your nails are fully healthy. Maybe invest in a good cuticle cream or oil. Keep your cuticles pushed back, but don't cut them. If you're painting them, use a good base coat to protect your nails. A healthy diet is also important. If you're not eating healthy, your nails won't be growing as well.

Try getting silk wraps they are healthier for your nails than acrylics and you can use them to protect your nails and get even nail beds like the picture I did then on myself and my nails look even.
