Wear gloves; buy some of that horrible tasting nailpolish specifically for nail biters; make yourself aware of when/why you bite them the most often, make yourself aware of your body and your actions so you stop yourself from doing it unconsciously. You could also try getting a manicure, since then you might be less inclined to bite such pretty nails.

Try using MAVALA Stop.. it's a harmless, transparent formula with a distinct bitter taste. It can be used alone or over color. It will stop you from putting fingers to your mouth and biting your nails.

Chew gum or polish your nails, if you don't like color polish them clear and you'll hate the taste and stop.

I do it, too. I think the only way to stop is if you cut your fingers off! If you figure out a way let me know!

keep your fingers out of your mouth, that is where most biting occurrs. They are not food, they are for putting the food in your mouth. Fingernails are not food.

I was like that too, but I started chewing gum. It seems to work.
