Something of that statis. Vinigar will work well because it will leave a taste in your mouth which will help you learn not to bite your nail or you will get that taste if you do bite them.

BunnySlippers answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 2:12 pm: I have the same problem! I bite mine when I'm really bored in class, or when I'm anxious about something. A good way to stop biting your nails is to paint them. That way everytime you bite them, you get a nasty taste in your mouth from the nail polish that will definately leave you not wanting to taste again!

lynx_wings answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 3:10 am: try wearing gloves when you're home alone. That way you get out of the habit of biting your nails normally, and when you go out you won't be so inclined to bite. [ lynx_wings's advice column | Ask lynx_wings A Question ]
piinkiie answered Tuesday June 29 2004, 3:03 am: I had a terrible nail biting addiction until I got braces, I can't bite them anymore because I'm paranoid I might break a bracket. I have an idea for you that might help though, Go in your fridge and look for some sauce that you don't like (Worcestershire, Mustard, Ranch Dressing, etc..) put some on your nails, maybe that'll help you stop, or you could try going out and getting a manicure, and then why pay money, it's too pretty to ruin, well that's all.
*~bre_babbles~* answered Sunday June 27 2004, 10:52 pm: I use to have the same problem this is wat i done...I went to a drug store and bought some nail polish that doesnt taste really good!!

LilMia811 answered Sunday June 27 2004, 4:42 pm: Wear a rubberband around your wrist and everyime you go to bite your nails, snap it. Amd to help you remember tell the people in your house and your friends around you, if they catch you biting or about to bite, snap your rubberband. Trust you won't want to bite, you'll be tired of being snapped. Good Luck! :)
GoDdeSsOfEveRyThInG answered Sunday June 27 2004, 2:58 pm: You shouldn't bite your nails so much they bleed because it can get infected or hurt the growth of your nails. The best option is to use a special nail polish that tastes TERRIBLE! It will definitly keep you from picking at your nails. You can buy it at Sally Beauty! Good luck!!
