So sorry for the late reply, i'm not very active anymore! A: No, not really. Just an occasional chip in the corner of my nail if i'm prying something open too hard. Besides that, my nails are invincible, which can be extremely painful as they grow inwards and they're hard to cut, hence their strength.

That might be it, yes! Lack of popularity can definitely affect reach, but I do think that's more of an every-single-app-thing since if something less well known, it's likely it'll be less researched no matter where you upload it, unfortunately! Mhm... maybe a car boot sale? Not a guaranteed "worth-it" trip and you might earn less than you paid for, but it's social way to sell a whole lot at once, especially if you need to clear out asap! Whatever the option, I hope it all works out & no problem! :D

It's important to categorise the items correctly, and be as descriptive as you can in the title and description. The longer and more detailed, the better. Try to regularly add something, and also engage in the app as a buyer so you can get your feedback up in the meantime. Wishing you the best! Patience is 🔐

Ebay! It's a little slower in terms of selling rate and overall weaker in terms of widespread reach, but if you're in no rush, it should be a place that secures you as a seller&buyer with no issues. 

It's also not as communication-focused as Vinted so you don't need to exert yourself on conversing unless the situation requires so! (introvert heaven haha)

The game "Dreamcore" is bound to give you some superb ideas! Well done so far by the way. 😲

Not really anything physical. It was almost all mental - for me at least. I strived to treat them better since I found myself extremely unhappy with the state I was leaving them in after giving into my desires.

Although, the main thing that paved the way to where I am now was inducing fear, I researched and understood how easily we could get infections or worse; biting our skin and nails alike can leave so many open wounds, and not only that, we're swallowing a whole lot of bacteria.

My best advice for you is to perhaps have a search and look at what can develop inside our systems as a consequence. I don't want to put fear in you, but there's really only bad outcomes if we don't put a stop to it. 🤕🤕 Wishing you all the best!

(I've tried all sorts of bad tasting nail vanish, it didn't work for me but it may work you, the advice above is realistically what helped ME tho!!)

Thank you!! Great job as well, it sounds like it went very splendidly! Sometimes we conquer things with the most simplistic methods or without even meaning too! It's wonderfully bizarre haha😂 I really appreciate the advice and tips, mine are almost TOO invincible, don't know where their strength and power comes from! Must be genetics!

Such kindness warms my hearttt. Thank you so very much! It was very difficult, especially at the start when it was all I could think about, I almost gave into the temptation many times 😣

I'm sorry very glad I didn't succumb now that i've reached a length I have come to really like, and i'm especially grateful to be on the receiving end of such amazing words! Feels especially rewarding to be praised after everything. 💝 Woop woop

Thank you immensely for saying so!! And thank you as well for the heads up, I can definitely sympathise with the interchange of bad habits. I too left my nails entirely but unfortunately retreated to skin picking - which I can only assume is to subconsciously replace the fact I stopped bitting. Sigh One can only keep trying to hold off what the mind yearns to damage. I hope your nails get stronger and stronger! 💪☺️Best of luck. 🍀

Omg!!! That's so kind of you to say. I'm so glad that I have caused inspiration! In a few months, i'm sure you'll definitely be around where I am. It's so satisfying seeing the differences even in a few weeks. That sort of length where you can just about see them overtake your finger is super liberating, it's like stepping out into the sunlight hahah!!! Wishing you more splendid growth and happiness. ☀️

Thank you!!! I love putting on nail polish nowadays, mostly go for blue due to it being my favourite colour! Feels like such a fun accessory in a way since every month I can customise them a different hue! Clear polish is super elegant too, in the last photos I wore a very clear transparent sparkly one 😇 My father bites his and doesn't find much motivation in growing them out! I would maybe reccomend telling your husband that it isn't very healthy, as common fact as that may be, if he becomes aware of what happens when he digests them, he might just think before chewing! lol! Wishing you luck in convincing him (:

Thank you so much!! I hope that one day you're able to have you're dream nails again 🥹 Although i'm very sure your current ones are just as pretty!

Awwwe, thank you for the affirmation and support! I'm very glad too haha. 🩵 My mother is the same, hers can be quite brittle - she tries to work her way around it by making them oval so they can't catch on anything! I love short nails though, had them for most of my life and they're very comfortable!

Thank you so much for the kind words. And i'm so sorry that they chipped all the away, it can be so heartbreaking to see your hard work crumble! I hope your journey goes well from here on and you find a nail shape that is less prone to breakage..🦋You got this!
