u can apply some lemon juice on ur nails it will make them hard and will help u to realize when u will bite them, or u can apply 2-3 coats of a good branded nail polish so it will make a thick layer on ur nails so it will be quite difficult for u to bite in one attempt and when u will try it again then u will realize that u were about to cut ur nail by biting so u will divert ur mind somewhere else and will stop biting... basically it happens when we are nervous or tensed... and its a habit which will be removed as per the time goes....
but i think the "applying lemon" formula is the best as one of my friends was having the same habit so she had stored lemon juice in one bottle and she was carrying it and applying it on her nails after every hour or so, it gradually removed her habit and made her nails so strong and shiny!!!
otherwise u can have fake nails too but the natural ones wil give u a natural and original look and confidence too...
all the best...!

you can buy some clear nail polish which has a awful taste that if you did try biting them it would put you off coz of the taste. I'm not sure what its called but if you go into a chemist or beauty shop and explain about the anti biting nail polish then they should be able to tell you and provide you with the product!

Well, you should get your nail filed at a salon (whatever is left of them) and do a nice inexpensive polish and design that way, every time you think of biting them, look down at your nails and you wont want to bite them because they are so pretty. there is stuff that tastes nasty that u can buy at a drugstore but i think that is just torture. you can also try to do something else when you are nervous, like chewing gum or tapping your foot or hands. i used to bite mi nails, then i got a manicure and i started chewing gum when i was nervous and eventually i stopped.

I have been biting my nails all my life (and trying to quit). People in my family bite their nails too. It seems to be genetic. :( I did have some luck with a product from Sally Beauty Supply Store called Bite No More, but I eventually learned to bite through it. :( Sometimes I cover my nails (gloves, bandaids, fake nails) and that keeps me from biting them. But I don't know of any long-term cure. Sorry.

Dont no but when you find out let me no. The only thing that seems to give you a good head start is false nails but when your used to stumpy fingers its almost impossible to wear them they soon snap and fall off so if your really determined stick on them nails and try to do everything really carefully.
Those minging tasting nail polishes dont work, you just get used to the taste and a cheaper alternative to that is to spray hair spray on your fingers.

They actualy sell a product for not biting nails in boots its like clear nail vanish but the taset is awful as soon as you bite and you will soon stop biting as the taste is hard to get rid of once you get it lol good luck...

First, file them down so they are even and don't look like you chewed on them. That way, they will still look nice, even if they aren't long. Next, put on some nailpolish in a pretty color, and then apply clear over it. This tastes bad and projects your nails, so you will have good nails and break the habit.

I think you should buy gum and every time you want to bite your nails chew the gum or put the juice of a bitter non poisonous plant on your nails and you wont want to bite them
