I used to bite my nails too. I stopped after I got my nails done once. When they fell off I had nice long nails naturaly and i wanted to keep them. So now i put A LOT of clear strenghtening nail polish (they are very weak) and i love them long. Just put lots of strengthening polish thats clear and stop biting. When I felt like biting my nails I would kinda bite my skin instead (sounds gross) but then I stopped and moved to gum. Gum and nailpolish is the answer! :o) Hope that helped!

I'm not sure if biting your nails actually stops their growth. I used to bite my nails, too. (I stopped years ago.) Have you ever looked at your nail (or what you can gather from under the nail) under a microscope? It's NASTY!!!! Believe me, you won't want any of that in your mouth! Good Luck! : )

Nail Biting is a habit that you have. Whenever you feel like you are going to bite your nails, play with your hair or something. Put some nail hardner or something. I hope this helps.

here's the trick. when you decide to actually stop biting your nails, you should put a coat of polish on them. clear works best since it keeps you from looking like frankenstein with short nails and color on them. trust me on this one. not only will it help you to stop biting them, it will help them regain strength because the polish will act as a reinforcement while giving them the time to grow out. hope this helped!! blessed be!

it wont stop the growth but everytime they do grow they'll be really thin. Just stop!! Fingers are ugly without nails paint them or something.

What made me supply up is what you easily do while biting your nails. each little thing you touch leaves something on your nails....wheter its as huge as dirt or as small as pores and skin cells or germs. will additionally ability. i might tell myself NO each time i spotted I initiate. My mom stopped via having pretend nails.

what i do is usually just get a full set, [[get my nails done]] and then it lets my nails grow, and even if you do get the urge to bite your nails, your FAKE nails will be there!
