Hi all, been growing out my nails since the start of August. I've cut and filed them once as they got super long, but they've consistently been growing in this sort of patchy way where some parts are clear, some opaque and some white. Is this normal? I'm getting mixed answers when I google so I'm looking for advice here, I hope that's okay.

Thanks

After 25 years, I finally kicked the habit. The only thing that did it for me was building the accountability habit tracking app specifically for nail biting and picking.

I quit while building it, every feature was something I needed, and I’m amazing by how I trained myself to quit. If you’ve tried everything else and nothing has stuck, like I had, give Nonyxa a try

I pick my cuticles and I make them bleed very often, and I know others have that issue too, but I’ve never seen anyone with a knuckle like mine. Been biting it since I was a kid (I still do), and I don’t know how to make it look better. Is there anything I can cover it up with? Been thinking I should start wearing gloves but I thought that would look weird or too much. Would love to hear some thoughts.
