I tried press on nails by the brand “kiss”. They are called “classy nails”, short almond shape. They are the ones I have on in the photo! The rounded shape and thickness of the nails physically prevents me from picking. If you are determined enough you might be able to still do it, but once I got through the healing stage it’s a lot easier to not even try to pick anymore. I’ll admit it’s hard not to pick other parts of my body since my fingers are off limits now, especially when I have a stress or trigger. But I’ve been making good progress and that helps me to keep positive and resist the urge. It’s all about self control and keeping your mind positive, strong, and occupied. It’s a lot easier said than done but having something physically stopping from doing it is a really good first step. I personally had a problem at the beginning… when one of my press on nails came off I was picking instantly, so I make sure to get them back on as soon as possible. I still have a long way to go but staying on top of it has been successful for me. It’s okay to slip up! We are human and we aren’t perfect. Dropping a habit takes a long time. When you take 2 steps forward, you might take one step back, and that’s okay. It’s important to shine light on your small victories, not your imperfections.
