Here are some pointers to help you out...they worked for me!
1. Decide that you are going to stop. Pick a day and say that's it. No more nibbling. Now here are a few little ways to help.
2. There are some bitter tasting liquids that can painted onto the nails. I don't know anyone who actually liked the taste, so this is going to slow you down and give your nails a little time to start growing.
3. The minute you wash your hands, re-apply the liquid mentioned above. This will also focus attention on your hands and the nails which should be visible by now.
4. Keep an emery board in every room and one in your backpack or purse. The minute you notice a snag, use the emery board and not your teeth.
5. Buy a few bottles of pretty polish and some hand cream. You are going to keep your nails polished and your hands soft. In a weeks time, you are going to notice a difference.
6. Once a biter, always a biter. I have stopped, but it only takes a snag for me to revert back to old habits. I have to follow these tips too.
7. You might have been looking for a magical way to stop biting your nails, but I'm afraid that there is no such thing. You simply have to put your mind to it and stop!
8. Will power is an amazing thing. If you want something badly enough, you can do it. If you want pretty nails, you are the only person who can stop it from happening.
Good luck ~ Elle

I kept my nails painted every day. I was less likely to bite them because (a. the polish tasted bad, and (b. I didn't want to mess up my nail job.
I only bit my thumbnails though so maybe it's harder if you bite all your nails.

I set a goal for myself. I was to be a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding & so I conciously made myself stop so that I could grow some decent nails by then. It also helped for me to keep them painted all the time too cause nail polish doesn't taste too good! lol.

I just stopped biting them one day....then one day became 2 days then 2 days became 3. Pretty soon, I had nails. I've never bitten them since.

Get fake nails from a salon or beauty school. Worked like a charm for me. Nothing else did anything though.

One day I just decided to quit and did it. I kept looking at how bad, ugly they looked and decided not to do it anymore
