how do you stop nail biting, it's the worst habit i have

>>20227
weirdly after trying all the things they reccommend like wearing gloves, putting chile or anti nail-biting polish, keeping my hands busy, nothing worked. I just bit them as much as I wanted for years since I had given up, and all of a sudden a few days ago I realize I have nails. weirdly only on my right hand. i guess i now only bite my left hand. Idk what it is, i guess i got my fix and now my brain decided its done? Sorry I cant help you more, i dont really understand what fixed the habit

>>20227
I managed to fix my nail biting habit by using anti-biting nail polish, it made them taste awful and after a few weeks I'd basically stopped doing it

I stopped biting my nails in my teens when I got grossed out by pieces of nails getting stuck in my teeth lol

in my experience, a simple gel polish manicure (just color, no design or acrylics) would last me around 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending how tempted i was to pick and bite the polish off. obviously it will last longer if you don't do what i did. you can get your manicure redone even if the nail polish is intact though for long term nail health i am not sure if it'd be healthy. if you want acrylics, i've heard the shortest they will last is around 1 week and the longest is 4 weeks but it depends on your nail tech i guess, since acrylics and press ons stay longer when you have clean nails and cuticles pushed back. for just a gel manicure i'd pay roughly 50-80 dollars when i still got them done, i've never gotten acrylics or any fancy designs so i have no idea how much they cost. i'd recommend saving money if this is too expensive for you.

I like cateye frame glasses

What shape would you recommend for a roundish/squareish face?

>>20837
Thank you.

>>20836
I have a round face and wear wayfarers. I get unsolicited compliments on them so I think they suit me.

you shouldn't be doing that, Nona

see a therapist, talk to your doctor

If you are fat, just fucking exercise and eat better. Getting an ED will just fuck with your head and make you gain the weight back instantly as soon as you touch a calorie because it teaches your body you are not to be trusted. If you actually have a normal BMI and just want to be a skelly, please go to a therapist. Trying to look like a Lich isn’t going to solve your body image issues.

Inducing vomiting will break down your teeth enamel then you will be fat with rotten teeth too. Heal your relationship with food.

People with Down Syndrome can have normal intelligence. It's a misconception that they are all retarded.

>>21011
I had no idea.

I've never seen a downie with an average IQ but downies in general have a high IQ when it comes to emotional intelligence and subtle social cues. Has anyone else noticed that? I don't know how to put this right, but it seems like they're good at picking up on complex emotional bids that average adults don't pick up on.

>>21013
I never actually considered this before but looking back on the downies I’ve interacted with, you’re right. They struggle intellectually, but they’re often the first to pick up on someone being upset and quick to try and cheer that person up.

>in general have a high IQ when it comes to emotional intelligence and subtle social cues
Not really. They might be less inhibited in that area but that doesn't make it "high IQ." It just shines more because everything else is poop.

>Chemical sunscreen does cause cancer though.
Not all of them do.

Mineral sunscreen because it's more protective. Only with zinc oxide though. Was titanium dioxide not banned?

In skittles

i'm just staying out of the sun during the hottest hours (10 am to 2pm) and let my skin handle it.

The sunscreens I use are a mix of both, but I do prefer chemical sunscreens as I also make an effort to stay out of the sun.

hi nona, im a big gyaru fan too!! have been for a while. so nice to see a thread about this lol
the type of gyaru you seem to like is called manba and ganguro theyre all pretty "extreme" or just well, over the top. my fashion preference when it comes to gyaru fashion is more agejo, goshikku, rokku and oneegyaru..hime is also a really common fashion style which i like too

Why is cosplaying as british girls a thing in Japan?

>>20524
>>20526
Does that look British to you anon?

western skincare in general is pretty fucked.
maybe it changed recently but i remember there was always this huge emphasis on 'removing oils' from your face with aggressive products and scrubbing, when thats actually the worst thing you can do for acne and dryness (and dryness and lack of oils causes acne).
look to the east, you can do really well with basic level toners and stuff from japan or korea.

Asian products are soo much better. I stopped using some western products. I can't always afford it but those months I don't run out of my fullkit its great. I started using less make up over all too and tried to learn some different techiques. They actually care about keeping you youthful in Korea. You get what you pay for.

>>20313
They are there to sell you expensive stuff. Look at reviews online instead.
>>20864
I love asian skincare products and make up. They all feel so light-weight and still do a great job at keeping my dry skin moisturized. I think the only western products that I still bother to buy for my skin are Cera Ve and some cheap stuff from the drugstore.

They don't give a fuck about what you want, they just want you to buy something and leave the store asap

That's why you do your own research and buy the thing you want instead of relying on customer service

>>20864
their sunscreens, moisturizers and cleansers are great but toners are just useless shit that do nothing for your face, same as serums and eye patches etc

Meh, don't really use make up, never have, and never had anyone in my life tell me I should put some on except for my mom when I was in hs because she wanted me so bad to be more girly or whatever. I honestly have never seen any other chick being an ass to another woman either irl or online for not wearing make up, has that happened to you, nona? The only type of person I can see doing that are tiktok losers.

Where do you live and what don't you like about it?
