I know, I have that same habit. Biting your nails is a major habit. I think the best way to stop biting your nails is to don't pay attention to them. Don't event look at them. I'm sorry I'm not helping you any, am I? I am really trying to help, but right now I'm just clueless. I'm really sorry.

Put your hands to your mouth as if you're going to bite your nails, but before you actually do it, stop and put your hands down. Pause for a few seconds, then do it again. Repeat this, without biting your nails, until NOT biting your nails becomes more of a habit than biting them.
If doing this repeatedly makes you feel like you'll go crazy without biting your nails, plan some activity afterward that involves your hands. Typing on the computer, sports, video games, needlepoint, cooking, cleaning, whatever. Do that until the urge passes.

Personally I belive that habits are a case of mind over matter weather you are using drugs, Bitting your nails, eating,smoking, but, if you are a female or even a male just keep them short and only use a clear or a natural product I would suggest putting a thin overlay of acrylics like any product that is used for sculptured nails again if your male use clear or natural and just keep them short I have wore sculpured nails for over 20 years and you can not bit them and for a female you have them done enough you will eventually learn to do your own which will save you alot of money

I bit my fingernails from the time I was a toddler until I turned 21 so don't think it's impossible to stop. I did it in steps.... I stopped biting the nails on my pinkies first... then once they were growing in nicely I graduated to the ring finger (still leaving pinkies alone)... and just worked up from there. I now have long fingernails and have totally lost the desire to bite them.

There's a product you can get, I think it's called Bittrex. You brush it on your nails, and let it dry, and it tastes awful. That will usually stop you if you apply it every day.
Or, go get a manicure. If they look really nice, you won't want to mess them up biting.

There are some nail-polishes that you can get that taste really bad when you bite your nails. Check the local drugstore.

go to your drug store and look for a product called Thumbz or Thumz. It helps with thumb sucking as well.....paint your nails with it as often as you feel necessary and you will break yourself really quick.
It tastes really bad.
Good luck

there might be an underlying problem in your life that should be addressed first. help won't help if the dragon still roams.
