Nails [Love]

LOVE this new color I got last time.  I like most colors- except red and pink haha.  I've done grey, whites, golds, silver.  For most situations, I feel the need to stick to the whites/pale colors so I feel less obnoxious at work.
A genius realization struck me in the past year.  Artificial nails.

Those who know me most definitely know about my shameless nail-biting habit.  I was one of those people that biting until I bled was not uncommon.  Typically at least one of my fingers would be throbbing any given week.  That part didn't bother me really- it was the conscious thought that even though no one ever said anything- my hands made me look like a nastier person.

I was very specifically enlightened to this during one of our intro to clinical years sessions-  According to our lecturer, the number one thing patients notice regarding the hygiene of their physician is their nails.  Really??

So during the summer, I took myself to my first gel nails appointments.  And then soon after my Mom started inviting me to join her.  One of the best things we've probably done for our relationship, actually.

 Am I actually cured of the bite?  Not exactly.  If anything happens to the perfect smooth curve of one of my nails, the whole thing is inevitably removed then the shaved down flimsy remnant of the original nail is soon after back to its state of neglect.
