Nothing really worked for me, I had the problem for years and my mom tried painting my nails with that nasty tasting stuff but I would just pick it off then bite. Then only reason I don't bite now is because I started getting tips put on and pay around 35$ every two weeks of my hard earned money for them. That's the only way I wont bite. At first I would bite the tips off but now i don't even put my fingers in my mouth ever.

I used to do the same thing. My mom put iodine on mine so it would taste bad. It helped, but what did it for me was seeing how beautiful my friends nails were and I wanted mine to look like that and so every time I started to bite them I thought of having my nails looking like hers. I've never bitten them since. If you put acrylics on they are harder to bite and they look so pretty why would you want to. Chew gum instead, it occupies your mouth and you can't chew and bite at the same time. I can see your long beautiful nails already. It's easy to break a habit but you have to really want to. Good luck.

There polishes out there that are hot and spicy that keep nail biters from biting their nails, but it's going to take a lot a will power to stop.
I got those acrylic nail tips put on and that stopped me from biting. Good luck to you.

There are certain bad tasting nail polishes you can buy that eventually trains your mind after getting so many bad tastes in your mouth to associate nail biting with bad tastes and make you stop doing it.

I know for children you could put something that tastes really bad on their nails and they will quit. Something like pepper or maybe even something really hot like a hot pepper or cinnamon oil. Of course you have to be careful about not letting it burn our skin. You could put fake nails on and see if that makes you stop.

There are a number of products you can put on your nails that taste very bad. Talk to your pharmacist
But, mostly, it is a matter of will power.

if yes it could be that you eat your nails because of the nicotine on them...If you r not a smoker go get your nails done you will see how better your hands look.

2 of my best undesirable conduct are being passive aggressive and shutting my thoughts off from others. This frequently finally ends up hurting them. wager all of us have issues we would desire to paintings on.
