New idea: wudu nails
Life long nail biter, with dermatillomania (a BFRB, body focused repetitive behavior). I have never had any success with wearing press on nails or any other suggestions for fake nails because I can just rip them off, they chip and I pick at them, or I simply don't have enough nail bed for attaching a fake nail. I was recently advertised these wudu nails on Instagram and I bought them with skepticism but so far I think this is a really viable option for me. It takes some tinkering on the adjustments but they are very comfortable to wear, I can easily slip them off to wash my hands, use the bathroom, etc. They make fun clicking noises that distracts my brain when I'm getting anxious. They cover my ugly nails from the shame and embarrassment. And they cover my nails and cuticles so I am less likely to pick and bite at them.
You can search wudu nails on Amazon. I got a pack of 20 rings (10 silver and 10 gold) for like €13.
