--Suck on your fingers.


--Sit on your hands when you feel the urge.








And for the finale..


Pick your ears. You won't want to bite your nails with the taste. It's naaaasty!I have a really bad habit, can anyone give me advice?
There is a product sold in stores like Walgreens; Rite Aid; CVS etc. Go into the nail polish isle. I can't think of the name of it right now but it's a clear polish. Just tell the counter person that you want to stop biting your nails. It's a clear base polish and it has a nasty bitter taste to it. But it's not harmful because this product is strictly sold for this purpose. You put the polish on your nails and every time you go to bite your nails believe me you will keep your fingers out of your mouth because of the taste.
get something called ';Thum'; - made for infants/toddlers but works for adults too - available at most groceries
Hey theres supposed to be some stuff at walmart in the cosmetics section for nail biting. my daughters tell me it tastes really nasty(lol). you put it on and you dont like the taste so you quit.
i used to bite my nails to but what i did was i would put nail polish remover on my nails and then whenever i tryed tyo bite them it would be nasty tasting.. it worked for me
i have the same habit. cut them short so there is nothing to bite
put a rubber band around your rist and when you bite your nails, snap it! lol my friend does that and it works pretty well for her
Try to find out what is causing you to bite your nails. Are you nervous? Are you bored? Get rid of the cause. Distract yourself from the problem. When I lost my job I started biting my nails and I never did before -- after I realized when it started I could deal with the problem. It worked for me!


You can do it!
I suggest you try the nail polish that tastes bad (available at WalMart), but as soon as you're used to it, it won't bother you. Also, pick a date you want to stop, and keep yourself busy so you will resist biting them. You can start chewing sugar free gum, sucking on hard candy, etc., to keep yourself from biting. Biting your nails can be dangerous, and you can poison yourself in the long run. Giving yourself manicures (or getting one) can make you less likely to bite your nails because you want to keep that clean glamorous look. Good luck. If you set this goal and stick to it, you're sure to achieve.
preoccupied your mind. do some hand activities. that'll help
i bit my nails all the time but to stop i go and get my nails done with acrylics and it works for me but ther is this cream u put on and every time u go to bit ur nails it taste bad i dont nowhats its called tho sorry
bite your toenails and give your fingers a rest that's my idea. Also try Prozac.
Have your teeth pulled. It worked for me.
i do it too.. but the thing that has kinda helped for me right now currently is to just pick one nail that you promise not to bite and then after its grown just keep telling yourself that its too pretty to bite and then continue with other ones. thats actually helped me a lot. good luck!!
I've had that problem all my life. Start getting into your nails. For years I got my nails done so I wasn't able to bite them but now I grow my own. Maybe you should try getting your nails done, leave them on for a couple of months so your nails can grow then get them taken off. Once you see how long your nails off, you won't want to bite them.. try it to see....
I have the same bad habit.. I heared you can scratch soap with your nails they will smell good and taste so bad :-) and that may stop you of biting them you can also try to remember always to stop yourself and maybe you need to calm
You could try wearing gloves all the time to deter you from biting your nails. I don't know if that would work but it's the only thing I can think of. Hope this helps!
apply nail polish to it of maybe natural colour that will give keep you off it for some time


self consciousness will help just avoid it whenever you catch yourself doing it
The way I stopped was, When I got engaged, I wanted nice nails so when I showed off my engagement ring I would have nice nails, and that made me stop biting my nails, so, just image you are getting engaged and want to show off a big diamond, and that might do the trick. !
you should use nail polish in your hands...thats what all girls do and when ever they un-color their nails they are all like,';omg i need to do em again!!!!';
Dip your fingernails in the oily substance around a horse's anus. Guaranteed to work, also called the cowboy's poultice. Also works on chapped lips.
hot sauce on the nails, let it dry. Next time you start chewing, hoo boy!!!
i used this nail polish for biters call nobite. omg. tastes like $h!t. it made me stop.
put some icky soap or some nasty hand sanitizer on them or make a reward system if you dont do it for a week, go shopping! thats what I do for my habit
Polish your nails really nicely and then you won't want to ruin them
chew gum instead . . . try getting a professional manicure or polish them yourself . . maybe you'll be less prone to bite them if they look pretty . . . and just make a conscious effort not to do it . . . keep telling yourself that you want pretty long nails . . and pretty soon they will start to grow and you will love the way they look and you'll never bite them again . .





just whatever you do . . don't get acrylic nails or anything like that . . your nails will never grow right again . . .
I SHOULD BE ASKING YOU THE SAME ? BECAUSE I BITE MY NAILS AND WOULD LOVE TO STOP SOME SAY THERE IS SOME NASTY TASTING STUFF THAT YOU DIP YOUR NAILS IN ??????
They make a nail polish you can put on your nails that make them taste very bitter. So that every time you bite them you get that taste in your mouth. I'm sure they sell it at any drug store. Try that out.
There's a nail polish is stores that tastes bitter and it's for people like you and it's really useful.
Keep lotion on your hands
I bite my nails too, and some people tell me its because im nervous, but when im biting my nails i have nothing to be nervous about...try getting your nails done or putting something nasty on your nails to stop you from doing it.
