Gotta worn you thou...I've been having nails over 10 yes on/off and it's weaken my nails but at least when I don't have them I do no bit my natural nail...I use to do until they bleed and cut the skin around it to...so it might be a solution to your problem !

Get some prenatal vitamins. They'll make your nails grow stronger, so you won't want to bite them. Also, use gel nail polish; it'll harden them so it'll be harder biting those suckers.

I feel your pain! used to be the same, always biting and not even realizing because it had become so regular. I just kept telling myself to stop biting my nails, and if I realized I was going to do it I would make myself do something that would require all my attention! I hang bitten my nails in a month now and it's not easy but the polishes and everything else doesn't work and I was sick of having crappy nails. good luck!!

I had the same problem a couple years ago and sometimes still have it. My solution is to have my nails paint the whole time, because then I don't want my mail polish to chip off and I am not biting at all :D

and shellac really helps and it protects your nails at the same time making them stronger :)

I always used to bite my nails so now I paint them in '342 Nude' by Barry M and now I never bite them any more. Just paint them so they look too pretty to bite :)

keep a hand sanitizer with you that taste really gross or bitter apple spray and put it on your hands before you go to bite them. maybe the bad taste will detour you.

Do a really cute nail design that you worked so hard on. You won't want to bite your nails. That's what I did 2 years ago to stop biting. I can do nails really good now and they are long and healthy.

I had this problem, i started puting fake nails so i could not bite mine, i did this till my nails could grow, them i started kepping nail polish on all the time, it worked :)

I think the easiest way is to wear polish. Hopefully you don't like the taste of it and it will prevent you from biting
