How do I stop biting my nails?

I have this habit of biting my nails. I never used to care about it before but now I feel bad when I see my friends' long nails and such. I want to stop biting my NAILS... I have tried everything from nasty tasting nail polish to putting pepper on my nails but the truth is I cannot stop!!!





Please Help... I'm a girl and want to stop fast...How do I stop biting my nails?
ergh. i want to sto also!


but what my mom did was she put garlic juice on my finger nails and i stopped biting them =]


but good luck!





seriuosy arent girls supposed to have cutesy finger nails? XDHow do I stop biting my nails?
Buy pretty nail stuff, you wont want to bite pretty nails





Or





get pretty acrylic nails, spend alot of money so that you feel you wont want to waste your money by just biting them off.





Or





Get a friend or your mom to yell at you whenever you do





Or





Keep yourself occupied so you avoid the nail to mouth interaction





Or





Wear gloves





If none of these work, know that it will better in time, I just stopped biting my nails, the habit kind of ran its course.
A lot of nail-biters have really thin fingernails, which makes it harder to grow them long because you can snag them on a sweater and tear them off. You could try getting a set of acrylic or gel nails -- you'll probably find that the desire to bite your nails disappears immediately. Your hands will look better, you won't have any hangnails, and you'll be busy admiring your nails instead of chewing on them.
1. hold on to a small object, such as a stone or a ball, to keep your hands busy and out of your mouth.


2. set up a reward system. use a calendar to keep track of how many days you go without giving in to your habit, and give yourself a treat if you meet your goal


3. ask someone else who has had that habit and ask them how they stopped, they might have some unique ways
I used to bite my nails too... I picked an important event that I wanted nails for, mine was my wedding. I stopped biting them and was determined to let them grow. When they got a little longer I went and had them painted to encourage me to leave them alone. I kept leaving them alone and by the time my wedding came along they were so pretty!
I always bite mine, it's such a bad habit. I stopped for a while. If you keep nail polish on them diligently, or even just clear, it will taste bad and you won't want to bite them. Even just dipping your fingernails in nail polish remover taste terrible so you won't do it.
ok obivously you want your nail nice and long, but maybe if you cut them short there will be nothing to bite for a while and might help stop you from biting your nails. after when you know you have improved, grow them back again.
you could always put band-aids on the tips of your fingers, wear gloves, or put something that you wouldn't want in your mouth on the tips of your fingers..
wear gloves
try to paint them so they way u wont want to bite them that what i do

I am going to buy fake nails which is better stick on or glue?

which stays on more and which is easier to apply?I am going to buy fake nails which is better stick on or glue?
Glue is alot longer lasting and you will get better results, but is is also a little harder to apply than stick on. I had glue ons and stick ons Glue lasted for about 1-2 weeks stick ons only 3-4 days.I am going to buy fake nails which is better stick on or glue?
i wouldnt buy fake nails in the first place.. one.. they look and ARE fake... two.. if one of them falls... youre doomed... specially if youre in a public place.. besides they are not elegant nor classy.. they are common... and horrendous...
stick on are easier to apply, but glue is much more reliable. i'd say go with the glue!
glue! just dont get it stuck to your skin, it will rip it off, be careful!
I would say glue it holds better and longer.
DONT





fake nails are so trashy
Glue... easy to apply I hope this helps :)
glue
i wouldnt waste my money on either but glue stays on better..but not longer than a day=]

how to apply

stop painting them and submerging them into harmful chemicals. Let them be natural and grow natural. You can cut them and file them, just be careful when you do.
calcium aka, milk, and vitamins and nuterients,


eat food which have lots of dairy and basically milk!
Filing them instead of cutting them helps.
there is a clear coat polish,called ';nail protein';





just look for it in stores, or at nail salons.

What are ways to make your nails thicker and harder?

Well calcium and zinc strengthen bones and nails and there are some nail hardeners, which essentially look like clear nail polish with a special label. I was once told by a stylist that nail filing in ONE direction only at least once a week can help to strengthen the nail. Hope that helped =].What are ways to make your nails thicker and harder?
