Everytime you bite them it burns your tounge. My solution was to get fake solar nails from the salon. Then i realized I could stop biting them. Its more of a mental thing. When i got them off, the habit was broke! I hope this helps

fabulous11 answered Monday November 21 2005, 9:07 pm: I have the same problem. AT first i would just paint my nails every day because if i bit them then i would hate the taste of the fingernail polish so you could try that. Then that wasnt goin very good so i was puttin fingernail polish remover on them every morning and that helped a little. Now i just get my nails done alot like getting acrilic(spelling??)ones and that helps alot but it costs alot of money to keep gettin them done.

Try these sites i found that would help along with my advice to you:
Also try putting veggie oil on your fingers, that tastes really awful so you wont want to bite again.Good Luck! its a tough habit to break(i know)Leave one in my inbox if you need anymore advice on this subject!
Daria006 answered Monday November 21 2005, 7:56 pm: Hey, I have a friend that has a similar problem. I liked the answer bout getting your nails done. Thats a great idea! but also if you paint your nails regularly then try repainting your nails often so you have to remove it the taste stays for awhile. Beleive me when you go to bite your nails it will taste revolting! [ Daria006's advice column | Ask Daria006 A Question ]
