Because my nails are all ripped up, and I want to know if you have a trick or something that helps me stop biting them.

I had this problem for over twenty years. I finally started putting fingernail polish on them and it tastes bad so I wouldn't bite them. Plus it would mess up the polish. I hope this helps. :)

Ive tried all of these and the best one is most definitely the acrylic nails... although it can get expensive as its about $40 to get them put on, and around $20 every fortnight for refills, it is worth it because you can not bite your nails.. but once they are long enough to take them off, your real nail underneath will be very weak and will need nail harding products to make them survive.
Good Luck, im trying just as hard as you are!

I bit my nails for 23 years, then i decided not too. I just wouldnt do it. I heard it only takes 21 days to break a habit if you really try. I cannot believe i quit, My nails are so good now, and I can actually paint them now. And I cant believe I didnt quit sooner. It was so easy once i just did it. I was really hard on myself to stop, and I used all my will power not to bite them. It worked. You can do it.

What I did was I made my mom a bet ( you can use anyone) I said if my nails dont look bitten up or anything like that for 1 month will you take buy me those pants i wanted and she said yes. So you use yuor nails to get you something you want and you also get nice nails.

They make a special nail polish for nail biters that tastes very nasty when you put your fingers in your mouth... My mother used it on my sister and I when we were younger to make us stop biting our nails.

yeah i'm a nail biter too... i bite my nails when i'm bored. lol
you can try this pepper nail polish... it's pretty bitter... but it won't work if ur a hardcore nail bitter.
i still bit them even if i painted them...
either try to imagine having pretty hands, and/or get manicures often... it worked for me.

willpower babe. I bit my nails for 20 years, and one day said I'm not going to do this. Every time I thought about doing it, I just thought about how hideous my fingers looked. It'll work, just believe in yourself.

I know the best way.
Get acrilic nails. If you bite them it hurts, because they are so hard, and it will get you away from that nasty habbit!!
