I put a rubber band around my wrist and everytime I caught myself biting my nails or even put my hand in my mouth, I'd pull the rubberband back and snap my wrist.
Sounds crazy, but it worked for me. Like some sort of weird torture therapy. Good Luck!

Wear an elastic band round your wrist - every time you are tempted to bite your nails, or actually give in and do it, ping the band against your wrist. You'll come to associate the little bit of pain as a reminder not to do it. If you manage to last a week, treat yourself to a manicure - if your nails look really good, you'll be less tempted to bite them.

Cut your nails really short!! Biting nails can be a "nervous habit". Understand what you are nervous about (or be insecured), then you will solve the "habit"!! If not wear a rubber band at both wrist to remind you not to bite your nails!!

tell your self that if you don't you won't have any left or they won't grow properly
i think biteing your nails is an obsession thats part of your life its very similer to eating
i think its because your boared or stressed in a way you don't relise it you need to be entertained have a laugh or something
obsessions are obsessions and are only cured by tinking
if its really bad try putting viniger so when your about to eat them the taste and smell will put you off or if you don't want to put gloves on when your really bored

Stop using toilet paper and just use your hands to wipe your Butt....You will soon stop biting your nails then!

There is an inexpensive coating you can buy at the drugstore that is for nail biters--takes bitter or hot, so you train yourself not to do it.

Keep them short by regularly cutting them so you dont have nails to bite!
