I don't recommend using the no-bite polishes.. I used them and EVERYTHING I ate tasted like the polish. Even when I would lick my lips it would taste bad. It was just more annoying than a deterrent. Just get really cute manicures haha or it you're up for the splurge, get a gel nail kit. They're stronger than your natural nails but won't chip, so if you DO bite them, it won't ruin the design.

I'm the exact same way. I've bitten my nails literally since I was like 4 and over time they widened and my nail bed is basically half of what it should be.. then about a month ago I was really busy painting my house and my hands were too busy for me to bite lol once I saw the improvement I just stopped but before that I'd tried everything. I've also heard that wearing a rubber band around your wrist and snapping it every time you have the urge to bite them will make you stop.. Don't know if you'd be willing to try that but good luck either way!

Ummmmm i used to do this!! Its a big problem and i did it all the time
Try 'stop and grow' its a clear nsil polish that u paint on ur nails and it really works as it taste rank!!! It costs about £4-5 but if u wanted something less pricey put one of ur strong smelling nail polishes! u could even try rubbing a chilli on !!!! Hope this helps (:💜

Get the nail polish from CVS that makes your nails taste bad so when you bite them it's gross and you won't want to bite anymore. Or you can just think of this, biting nails causes pinworms! Google them. If you ever get them you'll regret biting your nails.

Just keep yourself occupied so you never get a chance to even think about biting your nails and eventually you will quit
