How can I stop biting my nails?
I'm sick of my short nails. I wanna try to grow them out. I can not stand seeing the white part of my nails which is why I bight or tear the tip of my nails off. I've tried painting my nails so that i can't see the white part but it just comes off after only a day. I've tried fake nails too, but the white part under them annoys me. How can I get over this and have longish nails?

It's just the white part. Don't look at it.
Get dark nailpolish and do two coats. Color your nails every night if you have to.
But if you don't want short nails.. you're going to have to deal with the white part sooner or later.
What are you planning to do when you get long nails? Are you going to get your nails covered up?

Just like any hard habit to break, you need to start by saying to your self that you're going to stop this. Habits are always formed mentally, which in a sense means that your mind picks up that you always bite your nails and it becomes almost automatic.
If you buy a polish with a bad taste to it, it's going to be harder for you to bite your nails. You could try "control-it" nail biting cream or treatment. *Found at stopbitingnails.com* Or you could even go to your local drug store and chose a nail polish which has a bitter taste. Another option could be putting oil or lotion on your hands.
Chew gum. When you already have something in your mouth, you won't be able to bite your nails. Chewing gum will give you something to chew at rather than your nails.
Keep busy. Make sure you can keep your hands busy. For instance, if you are at school you can start writing or drawing.
If you want, you can try the rubber band trick. And everytime you feel like biting your nails, flick the rubber band.
It's a hard habit to break, but you can do it!

You can put on a darker coat of nail polsih put like 2 coats on them and then it would probably last longer. A french manicure might work you can get them in different colors too so you don't have to see the white and they last longer too. If you have trouble set a goal each day and see how long you can go without biting your nails. Like say I will go 3 hours today without biting my nails and the next day make it longer. Then before you know it you'll be tired of bitng your nails.

How about trying a french manicure?
I'm not sure if you've already tried that
but it would hide the white tips and
you can get the french-style in any color.
Also, if you go to a salon and
get them done they will last longer then
when you might do them at home.
If you're still having trouble
dip a cotton ball in nail polish
remover and swipe them over your nails.
This way they will have that nasty
taste and smell and you should not
be tempted to bitting them.
Good Luck <3
