Find a really good manicurist. Have her put short acrylics on you. Whenever you put them in your mouth they will feel different than your own nails and help you to stop. As the acrylics grow out you will like the way the look and that will help you continue. This is one of the only reasons I would ever encourage artificial nails. After you have the habit under wraps have the acrylics removed and go for regular maincures. I am a forner nail biter. This really worked for me after 25 years!! Good Luck!!

yes this worked for a friend of mine Report It

    wear gloves all the time

    Wear gloves in the house.paint them with varnish so they start look better and get you starting appreciating them,worked for me...

    Pull your teeth out.

    An old answer was to put mustard on them or something pungent..it may help?

    haha lol i have that its so anoying!!!!!!!!!!
    sometimes i get rid of the habit by biting my nails realy realy deep till they hurt a tiny bit then that puts me off it abit!!

    List all the reasons why its disgusting...

    And then remember that list every time you find yourself starting to chew.

    The only thing that is going to make you stop is when you realise how horrid it is.

    Would you like to touch something that someone else has touched when their fingers are covered in dry spit and plaque? It will smell bad too... You will cause warts at some point, they like it damp. It makes you look nervous. The list goes on... nails can make someone look really classy OR really trashy.

    Stick your fingers up an old tramps rear pipe, that should stop you biting your nails.

    there is actually a nail polish out that is clear and it has a really nasty tasty to it and its for biting of the nails.. its called Mavala stop.
