I absolutely HATE biting my nails. I mean, it hurts! I bite them down so far that they bleed, and it's really embarassing when me and my friends paint each others' nails, but I don't even have nails to paint! Can anyone help me with some tips to quit??? PLEASE??

While the icky flavored nail polish sounds like a good idea, you should also try keeping your hands busy with something else so you won't bite. My bf had the same problem, and he used one of those stress-relieving balls to keep his hands busy. I bet you usually bite them when you are bored or don't have another activity going on, right? If you can try to become more conscious of when you are biting them, and then try to do something else with your hands instead.

My cousin has, or had, the same problem as you. Sallys has this clear nail polish specifically made for nail biters. Its formula helps your nails grow and it has a bitter taste when you go to bite your nails. By using this nail polish the taste will stop you from biting your nails, unless your immune to its taste, but if you are youre crazy.lol Also, your nails will grow some. You can buy it at CVS, Rite-Aid,Walgreens, basically anywhere.

Put some hot sauce on a Q-tip and dab it on the ends of your nails, do this several times a day, when you are most likely to bite your nails and pretty soon you will not find them so appealing anymore.

Put your nails in lemon juice. So when you want to bite your nails it will taste sour.

braces were the ultimate kicker for me..
and that no bite finger nail polish. so if you try biting your nails it tastes nasty and you have that finger nail polish remover taste stuck in your mouth for hours. but it worked!!!

Get a manicure! And then, your nails will be sooo pretty that you won't want to bite them.

Actually wearing gloves part of the time, and putting bandaids around your nails would work.
