1. Close your eyes and visualise your hands with long healthy nails, and people's admiring looks. Think how good you will feel.
2. Put a horrible taste on your nails to give yourslef a shock when you bite.
3. Think about why you bite your nails - are you nervous? It can be to do with anxiety. Help yourslef to relax more and maybe go to the gym.
4. Try chewing gum until you manage to grow your nails a bit, then keep telling yourself how BRILLIANT you are to have given up. Lots of positive reinforcement.
Good luck

I used to bite my nails... What I did was get this kind of nail polish and it has a very horrible taste you just put it on once or twice a week and hope fully that will work for you.

I've been biting my nails all my life... and then I stopped.
It's mind over matter. you have to be strong. it is extrememely difficult as they are always there....!!
or you could get some false nails put on and then your real nail grows underneath.
then when your nail has grown a bit, take the false ones off and just get a top coat put on at the nail salon.
this is what I did.. it works.
but you really need willpower honey

Nail-biting is a sign of a nervous problem. Address that and you'll stop biting your nails.

The way i stopped was by being told a simple fact
"it's more hygienic to lick a toilet seat that 100 people have used than it is to bite your nails!!"
Yuk i know but very true - my nails are nice and long now.

I'm a nail bitter also and like the idea of the chewing gum. Maybe with something in our mouths will keep our fingernails out of our mouths. Let's try this! I wear glue on nails from time to time and that's not a good idea.

You can buy many different nail products that are suposed to help stop nail biting.....or you could just get nail enhancements, you can't chew through them!

Hey there is this nail polish that when you go to bite your nails you get a bad taste in your mouth. (thats how i stopped) and the taste lingers in your mouth so u will remmber for next time!
also u could do it the nerdy way by wraping u fingers with tape. (if u cant see them you cant bite them!)
