How Do I Stop Her From Biting Her Nails?

Question

My Girlfriend has a bad habit of biting her nails. I tell her to try to get her mind off of it by sitting on her hands, keeping her hands busy, and a lot of other lil ways. One of her excuses for doin it is that she's hungry but then again she does it when she's nervous, when she's watching a movie, when she's bored, and even when she's eating which defeats the purpose of her saying that she only does it when she's hungry. I've tried my best and nothing seems to work. It's a bad habit that she needs to stop. Can anyone help me?? Any kind of products out there for this and if so, where can I find them?

Answer 1

i used to bite my nails terribly when i was a kid. so my mom bought this nail polish that tastes like cayenne peppers. it's SOOOO spicey! whenever i'd put a finger in my mouth, it would start to burn like crazy. that got me to stop REAL quick! try looking at Sally Beauty Supply. GOOD LUCK!

Handcuffs would work, so would a gag. Try both and maybe she'll be too busy to bite her nails, otherwise call me and I'll keep her busy!!!!!!
