I have never had nails..only nubs, mainly because I bite them the moment I see a nail forming...you would think after I have made my fingers bleed I would stop, but nope..still haven't learned my lesson, any idea what I can do to stop?

OK, this is what I did to kick the habit. Gently file them to a shape. Then use lotion or Burt's Bees cuticle cream to push the cuticles back. Then use a nail hardener for a basecoat. Let that dry and then paint your nails, no matter how short they are. You might need 2 coats. For short nails I like a lighter shade, not red or anything. I find that once my nails are painted, I don't pick at them or bite them as much. It becomes relaxing to look at them and take care of them when they need a new coat of polish. Next thing you know, they're longer than they've been in ages!

bitting nails can get stuck in your intsteines and cause seriouse infection and also you are very likly to pick up bad infections through your bleeding nails which belive it or not you can pick up the super bug m.s.r.a. from toe nails and finger nails this is why the bug is becoming so popular

apply nail varnish to your nails. it's a very dangerous chemical when ingested, please do not attempt to eat it. it will harm your intestines
