put false nails on that way you cant bite your real fingernails and also they will grow if they are on becuase you are biting them less

Well, I bite my nails so faR down until they bleed... then I paint them with RegulaR nail polish. See, I bite my nails befoRe I paint them, because I can't stand having long fingeRnails. I've noticed that the day afteR... liteRally.. the DAY afteR I have just painted them... they've almost completely come back!! It's cRRaziieee; veRy annoying, so I must bite them again!! While it's tRue that eveRyone's haiR and fingeR nails gRow in on theiR own time peRiod, peRhaps this might woRk foR you?? And if it doesn't make them gRow in quickeR, the pooR taste and flakiness of the polish may pRevent you fRom biting them in the futuRe. Hope this helps?? =D

you can buy some stuff called Stop N' Grow which you paint in your nails and whenever you try and bight them it tastes REALLY horrible so you stop! My sister did it and it worked.

MintCure answered Sunday May 1 2005, 11:16 pm:
Try painting your nails or getting a manicure. If they look nice, you might not want to bite them. If that doesn't work, get a special nail polish thing that makes your nails taste bad so you won't want to bite them. If you can't use that or can't find it, you can also just put lotion or something that tastes bad but won't hurt your nails on them. don't worry about growing them out or getting fake nails until you stop biting them, however.

There's a kind of polish that tastes really bad whenever you go to bite them. Just look around the cosmetics and nail polishes, and I'm sure you'll find it. To make your nails grow faster, there's another clear "nail polish" called Nutra Nail that will make your nails grow in 5-7 days.

Most people's nails grow every time they shower, I don't know why, it's the water I guess. Eating gelatin makes them harder and healthier, too. Keep them clean and clip them when they get annoying. To stop chewing them, I totally know what you mean. I've been through several bad habits including but not limited to biting nails, cracking knuckles, chewing hair (eww). Mostly I just repeat to myself "Don't do it!" it in my mind, and it helps to occupy yourself with other things. Try a stress ball, or take up knitting maybe? It all depends on your will power. Good luck!

Mix a little bit of hot sauce into your nail polish, and then paint your nails with it.

shescreams33 answered Sunday May 1 2005, 6:08 pm:
i used to have that problem, i put nail polish and everything on them and eventually when id bite them id get really sick because it tasted so bad. if your mom wont buy you hardener and stuff maybe its because she thinks you might just bite them anyway and that would be a waste. you could try to prove to her you wont bite them anymore if she gets it for you. if she still says no you could buy your own. pleze rate

MACwh0re answered Sunday May 1 2005, 5:58 pm:
What I did was just put nail polish on them and every time I bited my nails it tasted really, really gross. So eventually I stopped because of the nail polish and now I dont bite my nails anymore. This one guy, he was biting his nails so much that he bit all of his nail off. Then his fingers went numb and he would bite his fingers and he didnt even notice. Crazy stuff.

Paint your nails, it worked for me. Black seemed most effective, as long as the paint was on, I didn't bite my nails

WEll, i know to stop my dog from chewing stuff we sprayed everything with this nasty spray. We sprayed our shoes too! Well we touched our shoes alot to put them on and whenever we licked our fingers we were like "GROSS" it tasted horrible!!! So try that on your fingers lol. It sure got us to stop licking our fingers.

by the way, the stuff we got didnt smell bad or anything.

Everyday dip them in nail polish remover, then they will taste natsy. If this doesn't work over then next few days go see a doctor.

Hard As Nails by Sally Hansen will help your nails grow longer and stronger. Orly No-Bite is a polish you put on your nails that tastes extremely bitter and it will help discourage the biting. :)

Filing them daily works. If you don't want to bite your nails there is a spicy nail polish you can buy. I forget the name of it but I think its call Thum.

Karen answered Sunday May 1 2005, 4:37 pm:
You can try dipping your fingers into vinegar or buy a certain nail polish that is clear and has an awful taste to it and when you go to bite your nails, you will taste one of those and that will help make you stop bitting your nails. There is nail polish by certain such as Sally Hansen and it will make your nails grow faster in a few days.
