fake nails...
its terrible advice really but i was a cronic nail biter myself....still am. The only thing that keeps me from biting them is fake nails...I used to get acrylic nails done professionally...its expensive though because you have to keep going back every 2-3 weeks for a fill depending on how fast your nail grow. There was time when I was doing my own acrylics but that was time consumming and hard and they never looked quite as nice as getting them done in the salon.....
The cheapest solution that I've found is buying a simple press on nail kit at target or any similar department store that sells nail products. they give you ready painted nail tips and a tube of glue and you stick em on...costs like 6 dollars a kit and you get about 32 nails each kit. I thought when I first bought them that they were going to look like cheap press on nails but I can't tell you how many people go on and on about how nice my nails look and want to know where I get them done (I buy the french manicure kit)
I will warn you that fake nails (no matter which style you use) do not do good things for your real nails but since they probably don't look that great to begin with...what the heck...
Anyways...it doesn't solve your problem but it will camoflage it and make it hard to continue to bite your nails as long as you have the fake ones on....at least you won't be able to bite them till they hurt.

itz a very common & it is very simple 2 kick it off!
1)purchase a bitter tasting formula expressly made for stopping nail bitting.
2)chose the worst tasting solution u can find.
3)wash ur hands with soap & water daily and clean it with a nice ,clean dry towel.
4)apply a liberal amount of solution 2 ur nails.
5)continue 2 reapply it throughout the day as it wears of.
6)reapply the solution in bedtime as the bitter taste shud be present on ur nails throughout the day.
SLOWLY AND STEADILY UR BAD HABIT WILL GO!

think of all the germs you are ingesting and how some guys will look at your mouth as yucky and won't want to kiss you. it really is an unhealthy habit, try thinking of it that way next time you started munching on them.

Sorry, I don't bite my nails. I don't remember what I did so I wouldn't bite them.
