I have this awful habit of buying my cuticles, sometimes they bleed. HELP!

How can I stop doing this?? Because I have no self control

Look up nail pterygium. If it's bleeding you're actually biting your eponychium which is live skin. You can get serious infections, the worse being above. Google image it, if that doesn't stop you I don't know what will girl. Lol good luck! Nasty habits are hard to kick

I do the same thing! I'm a ridiculously bad nail biter, but nothing seems to help. I have no clue what to do.

indeed polish them, and use little scissors instead of your teeth (if necessary)

They make a nail polish that tastes TERRIBLE. It's called "Bite It!" It worked for me. Only problem-if your fingers even get near your mouth, you'll taste it. But if you're desperate, it works!

When I get the urge to bite my nails, I wear nail polish. If I have nail polish on, I don't want to mess up my nails. You can also try chewing gum, instead?

i have that issue, i am a "powerchewer" if you will. i have the no bite, i set alarms to remember to reapply the polish... i chew mine as far as theyll go, you just need the desire to stop.

i used to be the wost nastiest nail biter in the world until about two months ago and my nails are just now starting to get nice and what i did was just got a gel manicure and didnt really get it filled just had it for about a month then took them off myself by that time i had broken the habit of bitng and my nails were semi long wen i took them of which helped as well cause i find if my naisl are short and rigged then i will bite but if they are ong and smooth i wont . my family and bf are amazed that i stopped. it was bad,

I put lemon juice on my nails and let it dry that's what my mother did to me when I was little the lemon juice tasted horrible.
