Just not as bad. I've always wanted those pretty manicures. So i would bite a nail on one hand while I didn't touch the other.. So those nails grew out and it looked so good. I could paint my nails easier too. You should try forming a new habit possibly. Biting your lip or biting a piece of gum.
Look for nailpolish by Sally Hansen. Buy ones that are made for strengthening, growth, etc. It's in a green bottle. You can buy it at Walgreens or Walmart. I used that for two weeks.. about 2-3 times a day on clean nails and it grew fairly fast.

- Get a good home manicure set. I finally realized that the main reason I bit my nails is because they weren't smooth. If you file and buff your nails, you will not only be less tempted to bite, but also be less able because they are stronger. I got a Cegal set off ebay and the buffer is the most amazing product ever. I've bought it for other people and they love it too. Here are a couple links to the product I bought (and it's cheap too!).
- Polish your nails. They actually make nail polish that strengthens your nails and makes them grow faster. They even make polish that tastes bad so you won't want your fingers in your mouth. Not only that, but it's harder to chew through the polish. I also found that I would pick at the polish instead of my nails.
- If all else fails, get some fake nails. They will allow your real nails to grow while they protect them. You won't be able to chew through those!
- Another tip to make your nails grow faster is a good diet. Make sure you are getting enough calcium and magnesium because these are the main components of your nails. I've even read studies that show many people have a subconscious desire to bite their nails because their body is low on calcium and magnesium and needs them back. Our mind somehow knows that we can get this material from our nails.
