How can you stop nail biting?

I bite my nails a lot. Just thinking about something that makes me nervous makes me gnaw at my fingers like mad, and I worry loads and ger nervous really easily.

Its not just my nails, I bite the skin around my nails aswell. I do it all the time tbh, and I know, its kind of 'gross'.

I've tried that awful tasting stuff you put on your nails but it really doesn't help at all. Any suggestions?

um instead of using that nail polish that taste bad if you really want to stop your nail biting try this I nvr tried it before bjut it might work!

1.take some cotton balls and nail polish remover and wipe your nails down with that even if your not wearing nail polish.

2.then take a little bowl of hott sauce and soak your nails in that make sure you dont have any cuts or it will sting

if that doent work do step one and two then put that nail polish stuff on there. but if that dosent work then just set your mind on stoping and you eventually will!!

Ok, well I would consider anti- bite nail polish, where it, and trust me, it is the nastiest thing to taste when you attempt to bite your nails, you can find it anywhere from walmart, to your local beauty supply shop anyhow, funmail with any questions!

I have the same problem! I gave up, and get my nails done regularly now ;D But if you find a solution, let me know!

It's a bad habit, and bad habits can be broken with a little willpower. Tell yourself you're going to stop for at least 24 hours. If it works, try it again a couple of days later. If it doesn't work, tell yourself to try half a day. Once you've been able to accomplish that, go for a longer period. If you can stop if 100% for three weeks, I think you'll have beaten it. Get other people involved - voice your committments to them and ask them to help you by telling you to stop if they see you doing it. It's worth a try. It WILL take some strength, though, but you'll be better off for it.

You could try keeping your nails polished no matter what shape they are in at the beginning. Seeing the color may just register in your head as you start to bite them and make you stop and think about it. I used to bite mine for years so I did the nail tip thing for years. When I had surgery and was unable to get out to get them filled in, I took them off and for some reason just never started biting them again. Now my nails are long and strong and grow pretty fast.

THERE IS SOME NAIL ENAMAIL AT WAL-MART OR ANYWHERE FOR YOUR NAILS IT'S CALLED STOP THE BITE

lol get a professional manicure. you most likely will not chew at something that cost you $40.00!! plus they are cutzies.
