I've tried lots of things, Putting garlic,chilli, and polish for nail bitters on my nails did not work, Putting fake nails on did not work end it up bitting those off
Help me I want to have beautiful nails but its a habit and I can't stop
Thanks

i used to bite my nails alot. i was doing it for about 15 years all day everyday. it was rough, but i found something that really works. its called "bite-away" ( better than cold-turkey). u can buy it from your local pahrmacy probably. its actually a patch that u put on ur inner thigh and it draws the urges away. but it is pricey, around $50 bucks for a box.

If all you say failed, then you need to go to the source of the problem. Find out why you bite your nails. Usually the problem goes away if you find it's caused by some childhood trauma.
You could ask your Doctor to refer you to a hypnotherapist who will help you overcome or discover the original reason.

Trying to stop bitting your nails is very hard, especially if you have been doing it as long as you have. It will take a while, but slowly start to develop a new habbit, one that you won't keep doing. When you feel the urge to chew, twiddle with your hair or play with your fingers, or something. If you keep doing that, eventually, you will stop. Good luck! :)

Try to do something else to keep you busy. Read a magazine etc. I have the same problem and i usually bite my nails when i am bored so try to keep yourself busy.

paint your nails with Oil of Cloves .. alternatively ask yourself "Do I really want to stop?" if the answer is "Yes" then just stop, no-one is forcing you to bite them
