Growing my nails out... unsure if normal appearance
Hello,
I'm still pretty new to the world of unbitten nails. I've bitten them as long as I can remember, and I am not young. I'm only now getting to a length where I can see them peek out when I look at my hands from the palm side.
However, I'm not sure if the white area is normal, or if I've been brainwashed by seeing adverts and nail professionals have perfect crescents. Several fingernails always look blotchy and striated on both hands.
I currently apply cuticle oil twice a day and lotion up before bed.
Thank you for your help!
