Reasons for Short Fingernails

• Bite Your Nails:- Yes, it is the most common habit of everyone. Even I used to bite my nails until I was scared by my pre-primary teacher. Biting nails lead to multiple bacterial infections, which slows down the growth of nails. So, it is better to stop biting the nails, for proper and good growth of nails.
• No Base Coat:- Whenever you apply the nail polish, make sure to apply the base coat. Not doing so, will not protect your nails from harmful nail polish. The base coat acts as a protective layer between nail polish and your nails.
• Scratching off your Nail Polish:- Yes, when we are done with our functions, we often scratch the nail polish. But doing so, we are most likely peeling off the top layer of our nails, which makes the nails weak and brittle.
