So I bite my nails I've been doing it for years since I was little. I usually do it when I'm stressed out or bored, and recently I have been trying to stop but I keep bitting them it's getting really frustrating because I want to have long nails and to be able to paint them. Is there any good products out there that can help them grow faster and stronger and help me to stop bitting them. I would really appreciate the help!

I think there is a nail polish that you put on and it tastes soo bad that it makes you want to stop biting your nails

Their is this liquid thing you can buy to out on the end of your fingers/nails and it tastes extremely terrible but works like a charm-my brother had to use it!!

I bit mine for 20 years and decided to stop last year. I bought sally Hansen nail growth polish it's in a gold bottle. Worked wonders grew them out strong within a week. I will still bite though if I get extremely stressed out.

Just try out putting some lemon on your fingers, or even some thing that's hot! :)

I've always had that habit, but just this year I started painting my nails ALL of the time really pretty to keep me from wanting to bite them. I round of the ends and paint them and put designs and then a top coat. Then, when I go to bite them I remember how pretty they look and I stop myself. It works most of the time but every so often I get bored and chew off the nail polish then bite my nails. >.< Good luck though! It's a hard habit to quit!

I did similar to what Carson did except I used the nail growing polish and when ever I wanted to bite my nails out of stress, anxiety, boredom, whatever I would just paint my nails with the nail growing polish. Now I never bite my nails and they are long and beautiful.
