Are your nails real?
They used to be, however, I am studying an Advanced Bachelor Degree of Nursing and when we work in the hospital setting we are not allowed to have long nails, so I use Nailene Glue On False Nails so I can remove them when my degree requires me to, but still enjoy my nail obsession.

How do I stop biting my nails?
I used to be a chronic nail biter, until January 2011. I had tried allsorts of stuff you put on your nails to make them taste bad - didn't help, I didn't care. The thing that made me stop was I found a nail polish I absolutely adored, it was called Cool Blue Blast by Wet n Wild, and from that moment on, I never bit my nails again..

What nail polish remover do you use?
I use a brand called 'starlet' I get at Kmart for $2. It is the cheapest nail polish remover available in Australia. I wouldn't say the best, but for 2 bucks I don't really care lol
