nail biting?

Question

i bite my nails really bad, do you know of anything i can do to stop the biting?

Answer 1

Put nailpolish remover on the top of your nails. It tastes disgusting so you'll soon forget about biting your nails.

Answer 2

I chewed my nails for years (and would probably fall right back into the habit if I didn't watch out). Their are several products on the market that taste pretty bad and could help. Most look like a clear fingernail polish when they are on. Most drug stores carry these products. However, what worked best for me was getting a professional manicure which incorporated fake nails built-up over the top of mine. The stuff that is built on top of your nails (from a powder and a liquid that forms sort of a paste), makes your nail too thick to chew. This process required several months of regular (twice-monthly) manicures until my own pitiful nails grew out. Once they were nice and long, I had lost the chewing impulse. However, I really have to jump right on any rough nails--that is when I am most apt to get a chewing urge. If I don't have a nail file handy to smooth it out, I end up trying to do so with my teeth--and that NEVER works.

It also helps if you have an upcoming event for which you would like to have pretty nails.

One of three ways always works for me [I'm a HORRIBLE nail biter myself]
I paint my nails
I put fake nails on
I use this nasty horrid nail polish that tastes HORRIBLE and rubs off on everything >=[ but it works

Answer 4

Go to a professional manicurist and have a nice manicure done. If they look nice and pretty, you might have the incentive to stop biting them.

Answer 5

Dip your nails in vinegar and then everytime you put your hand in ur mouth it will taste nasty.

Answer 6

shoot some heroin evertime you want to bite your nails.
