Buy that clear nail polish which tastes really bad. Where it non stop for a few months. I tried that when I was younger and it worked, it stops your habbit without you really realising it because it's so gradual. Also if you take pride in them that will give you a little more motivation to stop, so file your nails and apply hand and nail cream every night. And just keep thinking to yourself, nice nails are the main part of looking groomed. Hope this helps :)

Hi there,
Well, I think putting anything toxic in your mouth such as nail polish is not what I would recommend. A better thing for you to do is to buy some gloves and so when you have nothing to do and you are tempted to bite your nails, use them to stop yourself.
liquorice sticks are a good alternative or to nibble on plain popcorn whenever you feel tempted to to bite your nails. If you do it because you feel bored, doing something physical like exercise will help you to take your mind off doing it too. Biting nails is a sign of anxiety usually so you might be doing it because you are worried about things and so talking to some close friends or family about how you feel sometimes will help you and should stop you from biting your nails.
Good luck.

I get artificial acrylic nails for awhile. It gets me out of the habit of biting my nails. Then I take them off to give my real nails a rest and let them strengthen. I polish them with a clear polish since they aren't very long but I've dropped the habit of biting so they grow.

Garlic Nail polish (worked for me) also, it helps if YOU want to have nice nails so eventually you don't have to wear acrylics.
