And you\u2019re getting married. That\u2019s a tough situation to be in. For those of us who know what it\u2019s like, trying to kick the habit is one of the most challenging feats to accomplish. Here are some tips that may help you have beautiful (and natural) nails when you say, \u201cI do.\u201dA BAD AFTERTASTEOne of the simplest things to try is bitter tasting nail polished, designed specifically for biters. The clear liquid goes on like nail polish so you can easily forget about it. Then, when you try and bite your nails later, there will be a terrible taste in your mouth. Try brands like Bite No More. If polish doesn\u2019t do the trick, try hand cream instead. The alien taste won\u2019t may not as easily be disregarded.TREAT YOURSELFTo help kick start the difficult process, get a manicure. If you\u2019re like me, you are less likely to bite the nails when they are pretty and shiny. Then, carry a manicure set everywhere.\u00a0 If you get an annoying hangnail, you will have the proper tools to take of it. You can also use clippers to trim your nails when they look appetizing. Non-bitten nails don\u2019t have to be long\u2014they just have to be tidy.PULLING THE TRIGGERUsually, stress triggers the nail biting\u2014something we know that you don\u2019t have enough of while planning the wedding. Try using a hair tie, rubber band or bracelet to occupy your fingers if you get the urge. Plus, if you use this method, you\u2019ll have an excuse to go jewelry shopping!FAKE IT \u2018TIL YOU MAKE ITFake nails are a popular method to cover up on your wedding day, but be careful in selecting your method. According to Discovery Fit & Health, nail beds can get very damaged during the process; toughness and discoloration, and that\u2019s for healthy fingernails! Acrylics and the subsequent acetone nail polish remover may ruin your already damaged nails. Read one bride\u2019s tragedy on Bridal Musing Wedding Blog.Gross factor: Fungus growth can easily occur underneath the fakes since usually biters continue to put the nails the oral region. Wedding receptions do not accommodate that guest.WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS, ACCESSORIZEYou can have fun with vintage wrist gloves for a glam look, or you can take a more elegant approach with elbow-length gloves, a la Audrey Hepburn. Your nails will be out of sight, and you don\u2019t have to worry about damage from acrylic or other types of fake nails.\u00a0Photo: specialistdentalgroup.com"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Nail Biting Brides: 5 Tips to Kick the Habit","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/nail-biting-brides-5-tips-to-kick-the-habit\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
