I have two questions.

1. I really want long nails, but I never seem to get used to them. Everyone else makes it look so easy, and I don't want to have short nails forever. How did you girls out there get used to long nails? How long did it take?

2. How do you make your nails grow faster? I'm afraid once I start growing my nails out I'm going to change my mind and waste all that time. Any products I can buy or methods I can do at home to make my nails grow quicker?

Thanks,

Courtney <3

You don't neeeeed long nails. Short nails can look good too! But if you can't get use to long nails, then I wouldn't worry about it :)

You cannot make your nails grow faster; like everything else, it depends on genetics. You can start a nail care routine to make your nails healthier, but it still won't make them grow faster.

I wouldn't suggest taking supplements like biotin. Too much of *anything* can be bad. While I won't tell you to not take them, I will say be careful and check with a doctor first. Side effects can range from mild acne to liver damage (just an example of the severe side effects). Not much is known about biotin or its benefits.

I would just suggest getting a cuticle oil and a strengthening top coat to keep your nails healthy.

As for getting used to them, it took me about 2 months before I realised I needed to be more gentle with things, making my bed, closing doors and just general things but it does go away and you won't stress about them anymore when you're used to them :) and as for growing them, if been biting mine forever and had broken the habit a few times but that'd only last a month or two before I was back at it, right now my habit is gone and I think it may be gone for good! I use a Sally Hansen nail growth polish for the first two weeks when I'm starting over with my nails and it really does help, I notice a difference in growth in just a few days applying it twice daily. :)
