Theres some medication that you can apply to your finger tips that make them taste VERY disgusting. Friend has used it before.
Also you can use self control to grow out your nails, then go get a manicure, then bite them down. Should motivate you to not do it again.
I suggest you try first one.
Make an obligation, such as every time you bite one of your nails you put a quarter in a jar. (LOL i remember that from bearnstien bears) Even though it may sound silly, it actually works; my friend's sis did something like that and she got over biting her nails in less than a week.
I used to bite my nails really badly, but now I have really nice nails. What initially helped me to stop the urge was getting acrylic nails done at a salon. These nails are really thick, and not easy to chew, as well as you don't have any rough edge or hang nails when you have these. After months of having my nails done I had lost the urge to bite my nails, and I started growing my own nails.
If you aren't interested in getting acrylic nails done, I would suggest using sally hanson products such as "Get Stong", or "Hard as Nails". These are clear polishes that completely strengthen your nails, which I use everyday and have since grown really long nails. You can find these products at your local drug store.
I would also suggest keeping a little bottle of hand cream in your purse as healthy cuticles help for healthier nails. I use Vaseline "Hand and Nails", it's really good.
There is stuff you can put on your nails to make them taste nasty, you can go get fake nails put on (make you nails weak though) so you don't bite what you paid for. Or just try to fight it....it to me a long time to break it when I did it. I did the fake nail thing.
Try dipping your fingertips in nail polish remover, bitter apple or lemon juice. You also have to make a conscious effort to stop. I found that keeping my nails painted really nicely did help, because chewing off nail polish isn't exactly appetizing... hah. Good luck!
i dont know if this will help you, but i was also a nailbiter and then i kept getting nice manicures weekly that i loved and i stopped because they looked so beautiful. now theyre long, healthy and i never believed they would be! just a suggestion because i tried everything and only the manicures worked. good luck!
well i bite my finger nails its just a habit you will probabley grow out of it because i am or you can go too your local chemist for about
