what is the best solution to stop nailbiting?

Answer 1

Sally Hansen has this really cool nail biting stuff. You just paint it on to your nails, and it makes them taste really gross. It doesn't smell, and you can't see it. It's not like polish, it's completely invisible. Even guys can wear it. It worked for my friends!
And tell you friends to keep an eye out for you so that if they see you biting, they'll remind you to stop.

Answer 2

do something with you hands... that is what causes me to nailbite..
and just remind yourself..
there are icky goo's you can put on your hands.. but try something clear..
there is a great product from sally hansen that comes in a pink clear bottle.. it looks like nailpolish but it strengthens your nails alot.. and makes them grow..
so the longer your nails get the less likely you will want to bite them..

and it doesn't taste that great when ur bitting it off

Answer 3

That all depends. You just get to a point where you get tired of the way it looks when you bite your nails. Then to you realize how many germs there are that get trapped under your nails and that your nails are actually extremely dirty. Think of all of the things that you touch. Door handles, keyboards, shoes, pens, pencils, buttons to ring bells or catch an elevator. Just thinking about that made me want to stop. Just really ponder on that.

Answer 4

I am a nail biter and the way I finally stopped was to go have them professionally done i.e. Full Set. Yes, It costs between 20-30 dollars but it will stop you from biting and you'll be so proud of the way they look, you wouldn't want to.

Answer 5

Willpower is the only sure way. You can try mustard or a proprietary anti-nail-biting lotion which will serve to remind you when you having a nibble. Otherwise try reverse psychology on yourself - openly display your stumps to friends and family and feel ashamed every time, particularly if they make comments!

Answer 6

i'm a nail tech, i have found that all but one of my former nail biters don't bite their nails when they've had a set of enhancements done some even a manicure with a nice polish.... if you've paid to have something done you tend to be less likely to try and ruin it, and when you've finally got nice nails you tend to be more concious of them and want to show them off rather than hide them.

the one who still can't keep her fingers out her mouth is my mother!!!!!!!!!!! i have told her the next time i have to replace her little finger nails (the only ones she chomps on!) i will either cut her fingers off!, pull her teeth out or paint big willies on all her nails!!!!! my gran takes her teeth out!!! that stops her!

i do like the suggestion of smearing sh1t on them tho! lol! i sure as hell wouldn't want to bite my nails then!!! he he he!!!

Answer 7

Just remember that your nails are the most dirtiest part of your body. You touch everything with your hands. When you put your nails in your mouth you are puttin disgusting germs in your mouth. The old lady told me once when I used to chew my nails she said "Stop eating yourself." and I guess thats right.

Answer 8

OMG some people are soo rude!
anyways they have this speacial nail polish that taste really really bad when you paint it on your nails so it will keep you from biting your nails they sell it at any cosmetic store

Answer 9

Have you tried a product called "Thumbs" it's a product for nailbitters or thumb suckers. You simply put it on your fingernails and it tastes horrible. Or take vitamins, they make your nails strong.
