My friend has this.
Try painting your nails.Everytime you bite your fingernails,itll taste like nail polish,so youll stop.
if you dont want colored nails,Clear polish is always a good option
:]

Actually now that I think about it,try Nail polish REMOVER on your nails,instead of nail polish.
That stuff tastes HORRIBLE and itll stay on your nails untill you wash with soap.

None of that works... if you're like me you'll just pick at them too.

Nail biting and nail picking have always been battle for me... why I dunno.
It's something I've done since I was really little.

What I do is get my nails done every couple of weeks, while they are growing underneath you have pretty nails and can practice not biting the acrylic. Then when you get them off you have to put nail strengthener on because they will be brittle.

paint your nails or put lotion or hand sanatizer on your hands

I wouldn't sugget fake nails sry to disagree. Its hard on your nails 2 get fake ones on. However I used to bite my nails but now they are long. I'd suggest finding some sort of cutical lotion or nail strenthner taste nasty but good for your nails.

* Keep an emery board handy so when you need it, it's available. If its not, it is going to be your teeth that take care of the nail, and you know what that means.

* Better yet, try spending a few minutes every day caring for your nails. This could be a massage, oiling your cuticles, applying polish... whatever works.

* Keep the nails polished. For some reason, a little polish seems to make you want to leave them alone. And did you know that even short nails can wear red polish. It's true and what's even better, men seem to love it!

* If you find your fingers moving toward your mouth all on their own, you might want to invest in a bottle of anti-bite liquids. Trust me, it does taste horrid.

* As a previous nail biter, I sometimes find that I fall back into old habits. But, it seems that if I have something to keep my hands occupied, my nails are safe. A stress ball works for me.

* There is nothing worse than trying to grow out your nails just to have them break or peel. Here is a tip I heard a little while ago. It involves rubbing raw garlic over the surface of your nails. After a week, nails should be stronger. Definitely worth a try if you don't mind the smell.

THANK YOU!!!

put salsa on it or chily

I had that, and then I put on fake nails, from the drugstore, for like a week, and when I took them off, they were long enough for me to notice if I tried to bite/pick them.

And Sally hanses nail thingy, like miracle growth or something, really works !

just find a new better habbit.chew healthy gum,instead of your nails,play a sport,and be a lot more active.if they're really bad it'll take a good month and trust me you'll know when they're long enough.I hate it when people bite their nails.I definantly dont bite mine.

ok first paint your nails 1 more than on time and then when you try to bite it will taste like paint which is nasty so try it today just by doing that I have healty long nice nails and now I am a nail designer
