I don't know what it's called but its something that they put on a child's hands to prevent them from putting them in their mouthes. It has a very horrible taste but it's not harmful. If you are that of a child and can't stop biting your nails, try washing your hands in vinegar, lemon juice or something that has a horrible taste but can't harm you.

NAIL POLISH! and a conscious effort. The nail polish reminds you not to bite or chew on the nails and skin. It's like a string tied around your finger to help you remember. I would also say get a manicure (not as much as fake nails, maybe 15.00 depending on where you go). The nicer your nails look to begin with, the more motivation to keep them that way.

what should you do about the way the nails look or the habbit?
...the habbit- you can always try to break by putting icky things on the nails to discourage biting...such as this stuff http://www.ulta.com/control/product/~product_id=1892162
Breaking the habbit would be the best way to restore nice looking nails...
the look? I'm not sure- you might have to ask your manicurist or someone who knowsmore about manicures for advice on a temporary solution.

Put tape around your nails or dab the skin right above the nail with nail polish remover.

There are products that you can buy at walgreens that you paint on like nailpolish that make your nails taste bad when you bite them. I would recommend buying a bottle of this stuff and painting it on. One brand is "Orly No Bite" which costs $3.99 for a bottle. It is nontoxic but taste bad when you put it in your mouth.

This sounds crazy, but I'm a reformed nail biter, and for the first couple of weeks, I wore gloves and actually covered up my fingers. Also get tons of gum and chewy candy.

Try painting them with white (clear) iodine. The taste is horribly bitter.

Put tape on your nails until your habit is cured. After that resist the temptation.
