All of the answers do work well. Both my brother and my sister had the problem, so I know. Also find something else to do with your hands when nervous, some key chain to fiddle around with or so... I just want to add the motivation factor: Every nail that shows a white edge again, deserves a fee as an award. Define a sum x per nail or per bite-free day and get yourself something you wouldn't buy otherwise ( nice ring, dinner out, Belgian chocolate)...good luck

To stop biting your nails, try putting Tabasco on your nails, so whenever you go to bite them, you get a terrible taste and you know not to try to bite them again. Atleast that worked for my sister.

In addition to some of the other suggestions, you may benefit from some counseling. Nail biting sounds like a habit brought on by anxiety and such. Perhaps you can learn other ways to handle anxiety and stress and not feel the need to resort to that self-destructive habit. Stress management may be covered in counseling such as (slow, to not hyperventilate) deep breathing which I happen to do. I (slowly) breathe in thru my nose and slowly out thru pursed lips. I do that a couple of times and then breathe normally. Please do talk with a licensed counselor about it.

5 second Bite-Free nail treatment.
available at any drugstore.
paint on, let dry, and you will NEVER bite your nails again.
it tastes so horrible I almost threw up.
And that was last year.
And now I have great nails and don't bite them at all.

There are products like a liquid you paint on your figertips which tastes NASTY, and so everytime you try biting your nails there will be a very bad taste! It worked for my sister, I know it sounds silly but try it! Its kinda like training yourself out of a bad habit.
