A bad habit: nail biting
It may seem harmless, but biting your nails damages the nail matrix, which can cause persistent ridges or even infections. This habit, often linked to stress or boredom, weakens the very structure of the nail. Nail polishes with an American flavor or stress management exercises can help you break this habit for good.

Keep yourself mindful
Vertical ridges on nails are often benign, but they’re never there without reason. Whether it’s stress, a deficiency, or a digestive imbalance, they’re an invitation to listen to your body more. So, the next time you notice them, ask yourself this simple question: what do I really need today?
