A decade of strong self discipline and nail care, I now proudly show you my progress

From being a very anxious and depressed kid/teenager growing up in a bad household, I used to overbite my nails and the skin around until I didn't have what to bite.

Seeing my classmates' nails and feeling absolutely ashamed for mine, until one day I couldn't bear it anymore and set a strong rules for myself.

I started buying every nail care product possible, tons of nail polishes, and started to care for my own nails, looking at nail videos all day and trying to replicate them very poorly.

After some time I started to see some results, and my resolve grew even harder. And now, after more than a decade later, I am not afraid nor ashamed to show my nails. People sometimes compliment me and ask if they're real and I just can't be happier to tell them that yes, they are mine.

They are far from perfect, but they are mine.
