There is this nail polish sorta stuff, and you put it on your nails and on the tips of your fingers. Its clear so you can't see it. It has a nasty taste so everytime you try to bite your nails you get the taste and stop. Im not sure what it is called cause I used it a while ago but you can find it in your local drug store. Good Luck!

Models soak their nails in vinegar so if they go to bite them they pull back because of the nasty taste or tobasco sauce will work.

When i use to bite my nails i had this one kind of nail polish that everytime you went to bite your nails it burned your mouth. It can be found in almost every drugstore and it helped me a lot!

There is this thing its like nail polish and you put it on your nails and the taste is disgusting so you dont wanna bite them. Or put false nails on then you can bite them and not the real nail!

I used to bite my nails, and then around December 04` I got my nails done, thinking it would prevent me from biting my nails, and it did. Try getting fake nails put on professionally and then leave them on for a few months and when they start to fall off, paint them, that way you won't want to ruin them. It broke my habbit, but then one day I went bowling and it broke one nail and so I picked at the others. Now I'm in the process of looking for a place to get my nails redone. I hope I helped. :D

Start by making your nails pretty. You are less likely to bite them cuz they look nice.
Then, stash nail files everywhere. If you feel the need to nibble, just file your nails instead (plus it helps them grow)
Give yourself an incentive not to bite. For example, "If I don't bite my nails for 3 months, I will get a manicure". Something like that. You can also try to get a parent or friend to help by providing the reward. They'll keep you accountable.

i used to bit my nails too. i put on a growth nail polishes and then a chelly nails polish becuase it doesnt chip off as quick. everything elese is up to you. you have to really be determined and catch yourself when you start to bit your nails. they sell nail polishes that taste bad just for nail biters and you could put a coat of that on your fingers, but what you really need is the determiniation to stop. thats what i did, and i dont bite my nails anymore.
i hope i helped. good luck!

Put hot sauce, cod liver oil, or something on your fingers. The worse they taste, the less likely you are to put them in your mouth.

i just recently stopped biting my nails. it takes 30 days to break habit. pick a day in a month to start and draw a flower or a heart on it. then everyday you dont bite your nails draw that shape. after 30 days the habit should be broken. if it helps paint your nails.

Hey. Put on fake glue on nails, so that you dont bite them. When you get the urge to bite your nails, chew a big piece of gum. I used to have that problem, and i just chewed gum or sucked on mints so that i wouldnt bite them. The stick on nails, will make you not bite them since they are fake nails. Or, put bandaids on your fingers so that you cant bite them. Good Luck! Hope I helped!

To the best of my knowledge the way to stop a bad habit is to replace it with something else. Ex. instead of biting your nails you write out why you are nervous (maybe start a journal if you don't have one). You can bite pen caps not the best of habits either but at least you will have nails. You can try and just tell friends why you are nervous.
Basically you have to think of something that would work for you a way to replace that with something else. If all of the doesn't work put some kind of nasty liquid on your nails that will make you not want to bite them, but not something that would cause your body damage if you do try to bite your nails anyway.
Good Luck, hope I helped

all you have to do is stick you nails in something that tastes gross like vingar, lemon juice, peroxide and rubbing alcohol then everytime you go to bite your nails, you'll get a bad taste in your mouth and will be forced to stop. you could also wear a sock on your hands but that isnt as good
