Answer 2

1. Decide that you are going to stop. Pick a day and say that's it. No more nibbling. Now here are a few little ways to help.

2. There are some bitter tasting liquids that can painted onto the nails. I don't know anyone who actually liked the taste, so this is going to slow you down and give your nails a little time to start growing.

(here's a link to a product: http://stopbitingnails.com/)

3. The minute you wash your hands, re-apply the liquid mentioned above. This will also focus attention on your hands and the nails which should be visible by now.

4. Keep an emery board in every room and one in your backpack or purse. The minute you notice a snag, use the emery board and not your teeth.

5. Buy a few bottles of pretty polish and some hand cream. You are going to keep your nails polished and your hands soft. In a weeks time, you are going to notice a difference.

6. Once a biter, always a biter. I have stopped, but it only takes a snag for me to revert back to old habits. I have to follow these tips too.

7. You might have been looking for a magical way to stop biting your nails, but I'm afraid that there is no such thing. You simply have to put your mind to it and stop!

8. Will power is an amazing thing. If you want something badly enough, you can do it. If you want pretty nails, you are the only person who can stop it from happening.

Also, I have a friend who got expensive manicures on her nails. She stopped biting them because she didn't want to ruin something she spent a lot of money on.

Answer 3

Tell everyone you (first) meet that you are going to quit biting your nails. Also tell them that if they see you biting your nails, they should slap you across the face.
If you can deal with a slap across the face everytime you slip up and bite your nails, you must really like to bite your nails. I'd suggest you just quit or buy on chew toy.

Answer 4

There is stuff you can buy that is supposed to taste terrible and help you stop biting your nails I think its made by Sally Hansen.. but it also takes determination and self control.. Good luck!

Answer 5

Trying painting your nails. You won't want to mess them up after taking all that time to make them look good. Plus the polish will help to make them stronger.

When you're not in public -- Wear Gloves!! :)

Answer 6

This is a tough one! I'm struggling with you! I finally had to put tape (the white medical kind) on my fingernails, just so I wouldn't bite them!
Good luck!

Answer 7

One tip is to realize how dirty your hands are before you put them in your mouth. You're eating the germs of the world when you do that. What exactly do you get out of doing that anyway? It's nasty. How often do you wash your hands?
