you can get a special nailpolish that tastes bad when you bite your nails. another trick is putting scotch tape on them. yet another is carrying around a jar of coins. whenever you bite your nails, you have to give a coin away to the person who catches you. do this until you notice a change. whatever you don't have to give away is yours!

I have the same problem. What I'm doing to stop.. And have been for while, until I just stop doing it.. Is pushing the cuticles back, and making my nails look really nice, and then I put nail polish on them.. But as soon as I stop doing that for like a week.. I end up chewing them.. Good luck... Clear nail polish will make you stop too.. Any type of nail polish. UNLESS you just chew right throuhg the nail polish... But if your a neat freak like I am I always want my nails to look nice, so I won't chew my nails with polish on them...

Go and get your nails professionally done with either gels or acryilics. They will be so pretty you wont want to damage them by biting them. Else there is some nail polish type stuff which tastes really bad, which will stop you biting your nails.

If your a female than get a nail polish that has a very strong smell because you bite your nails than you'll taste a nasty strong taste. Tape your fingers up for a while. It works.

Get your nails done- put some nice colored nail polish- that should stop you from biting your nails b/c you will want them to stay that way.

Paint them a pretty color, or buy the polish that has a foul taste.
(specifically for nail-biters)
I bit my nails until I had my second child! Now I watch my daughter do it, and try to help her kick the nervous habit.... :)

It may look dorky but it works. Try putting tape around ur nails while u r at home. Also u should try putting hot sauce on the tips of your fingers. This Will definately work.(HOTTTT!!!)

Do you hate any foods (HATE NOT ALLERGIC)? If it has juice put the juice on your finger, make sure it wouldn't make them sting. Or you can put duck tape (white or gray) on your nails. After you stop trying to bit them, you take the tape off. But if it really serous (like, your bitting where it REALLY hurts- you might not want to do this, though) , put cooking mittens on.

Get fake nails. Cause you cant bite them and some of them actually look real.
