Answer #1

I want to hear this…

Answer #2

it is bad for the health of your nails, they will be more brittle and such so i would reccomend just using nail clippers. Also if your having a splitting problem consider not using nail polish for a while if you do, your fingernails need oxygen

Answer #3

Me too, lol…I always pick/peel mine…because I guess I am to lazy to look for the fingernail clippers every time I need to clip them. Plus, when I am out and about, I don’t have fingernail clippers with me. lol

Answer #4

It causes your nails to split (similar to split ends in your hair) and makes them weak and brittle. That is what happens when you chew your nails, so in effect what you are doing isn’t much different.

Answer #5

Yep! D: Lol

Answer #6

I’m lazy, unless I get a manicure once every so often, my nails are going to break or splinter when they get too long and then I just peel them. So far no issues… But then I have good nails.
