I go and pay for a manicure and paint, every time I put my nails near my mouth I just think of the 10 or 20 quid I just forked out. Xx

I was a serious offender of this. It takes 21 days to stop or start a habit. It killed me because it was like all I thought about but it ssssoooooo worked! No other advice but seriously just stopping urself.

I used to bite my nails until they were so sore I couldnt hardly stand it
I tried painting them and I tried the polish that tastes like vomit
the only thing that finally worked for me was getting acrylic nails I could no longer bite my nails it took about 6 months of fake nails before I gradually stopped getting the urge to put my fingers in my mouth

Try putting some nasty gel tasting things on the edge of your nails so when you bite them it will taste nasty and you will incorporate the thought of biting your nails with the nasty taste

I used to bite my nails so badly that I had pretty much no nails and raw skin..a combination of withholding things from myself unless I stopped and when they grew a bit keeping polish on stopped me. but it did take me until the age of 21to stop..its hard :/

It may sound stupid, but I just used to remind myself that's it's not cute. Neither the outcome or how it looks when I'm biting them. I haven't bitten my nails in 2 years now

I always bite them till I was 26, mind you I'm 31 now :) I put fake nails for a month and that broke the habit , and than I just start to color them with a very light shimmer pink, enough for me to see the color, cause the nails are week and shaved , they're very sensitive , so no dark colors. I took a manicure course when I was trying to stop and help me a lot :) hope it helps to
