I had that problem but after 3 months I finally have long nails. The first thing I did was use this thing called like Thum(look at walgreens or a drugstore) and its for baby thumb sucking but it can be used for nails because it tastes like pepper when you try and bite them. I also put on a nail polish even though it looked bad cause my nails were so short, it worked because if you try biting them the paint gets in your mouth and its so sick. I tried using clear polish but it didn't work because I could see the nail and it made it tempting to bite. But just try those tricks and dont get acrylics(I've had them done 4 times) because they cause your nails to become very thin. Hope this helps!

their are some type of nail polishe that is made 4 ur problem. It has a repulsing taste and is transparent so everytime u want to bite ur nails you'll go "beurk" and hopefully give them a chance to grow!!!

get fake nails till you stop the habit. Or keep nail polish remover on them the taste should stop you form biting.

You can either go and get gel or acrylic nails, or you can buy this wonderful little product called "Stop'n'grow", paint that on your nails, and it tastes really bad when you try to bite your nails. =)

I used to bite my nails too, but then i was told that there were very tiny worms underneath your nails, so when you bite them, you're eating the worms. after that i stopped. or you could try sitting on your hands when you fell the need to bite them, or play with some sillly putty or play-doh to distract you.

Keep a soft nail file every place you are when you 'bite' and every time you find your fingers in your mouth just file them instead.....it worked for me.

What do you mean bitting your nails? Breaking them up into bits? On the other hand, if you are biting your nails, you can paint iodine or other bitter sustance on your nails so you will be reminded when you bite them.
