How can you stop bitting your nails?

I have tried nastytasting nail polish, regular nail polish, and bitting myself when I bit them. I did fine in the summer and they grew out but when school started I think it's the stress that made me start again. it's gross and annoying. HELP!How can you stop bitting your nails?
i really sympathise as i used to do this too - and i also used to bite the cuticles around the nail and it looked so gross and painful people would flinch just looking at my hands. now my nails are so long, honestly, people ask all the time if they are acrylic!


it was really hard to stop, i won't lie - the thing that worked for me is just constantly using the disgusting tasting stuff - eventually, before you even put your hand to your lips you know you're going to taste that horrible taste (and i used the stop biting boots stuff - don't know if you tried it, but it is MILITANT - it literally lasts like 3 days!) and then you just tell yourself aha, this is the moment that i can do something about it. slowly but surely you will stop - you don't stop wanting to, it's a hard habit to break, but you get used to catching yourself constantly and that becomes easier.


and then another thing that helped me, is go and treat yourself to some nice manicure stuff - i used to have a thing for chanel nail varnishes so i went and bought two and i so looked forward to using them - that helped. and if your nails are weak and brittle, i'd recommend sally hansen nail strengthening stuff.


hope that helps and good luck!How can you stop bitting your nails?
Maybe you didn't use the whole nail polish thing correctly. You are meant to do your nails beautifully, so when you actually want to bite your nails you will think it's a shame.


If not, while walking around the house always have a carrot, a rice biscuit or celery sticks with you and you are tempted to bite your nails, have a bite of the food instead! (The good thing about these is, they don't have calories)


Hope i helped

thats a vry bad habit you have tried all the methods i know but maybe this will scare you:





My brother was a nail biter until one day he was biting his nails and they started leaking out this gross white puss and he had to be on medication because he bit them to short and the bacteria from his mouth caused it.





It can cause bad infections its just not healthy.
I am 22 and I used to bite my nails ALL the time. I didn't stop until about 6 months ago when I got braces, lol. It is very easy to not bite them when you see how nice they look long. Try getting a manicure, or wearing fake nails until your real nails grow out. Once they are nice and long, paint them your favourite colour. Eventually, you won't want to bite them anymore.
they actually sell a nail polish that taste like garlic u should buy it its clear but it tastes funny ( like garlic) ask 4 it over at SALLY'S
