I used to bite my nails down to nothing every Sunday night, now I paint them instead and it actually works

Every Sunday around 9pm I'd sit on the couch watching football and chew my nails till they bled, been doing it since I was like 12. My sister dared me in March to try painting them with that cheap Sally Hansen stuff instead, and weirdly having color on them makes me not want to mess them up. It's been 4 months and I've only slipped twice, both times during a stressful work call. Anyone else swap a nervous habit for something kinda vain that somehow sticks better?
