Answer 1

Wear acrylic nails. I still tend to put them in my mouth but not as often

Answer 2

You answered your own question! Put clear nail polish on them and you probably won t bite! I did it, though I felt a liitle strange about the polish! But it worked. It's been about 7 months now, and I have nails I'm not ashamed of.

Answer 3

I used to bite my nails too, until I started using nail polish. Eventually I stopped altogether, regardless of whether or not I had polish on my nails. For now, you can put colored polish on, as a physical reminder to not bite your nails, and as you get better at it, use a clear nail polish so it's not so obvious. Eventually you can stop wearing nail polish and still not bite your nails.

Answer 4

there is a special polish that you can put on, it is bitter and clear,so when you bite your nails you will get a nasty taste in your mouth. it will help alot trust me just put it on everday.you can get it at one of your local drug stores.

Answer 5

Answer 6

you can put chillies on your fingers and it will definitely prevent you from biting

Answer 7

put something you hate on them, like tabasco sauce
and chew on something else all day, like gum
