Which is the best solution to stop nail biting?
Answers:
stop doing it. or i stoped when i learned about germs and stuff.
Wear boxing gloves.
Have your teeth removed
There is a nail polish that has garlic in it, you may want to buy it and put it on your nails. It taste pretty bad if you go to bite your nails.
Get rid of your teeth or get rid of your fingers.
chew a toothbrush everytime you feel the need.i've been off the nails for sixteen years now..doesn't work for trying to stay off the booze n the fags though!
You can buy a clear nail polish that tastes horrible, you pit that on and every time you go to bite your nails it takes like CRAP
dip your fingers in somthing very bad tasting,next time you put your nails in your mouth you will react to the taste, then your mind will remeber that its bad to bite your nails.
start smoking. or you can get disgusting tasting nail polish that reminds you when you bite them NOT TO.
It started with my boyfriend. Everytime my finger would get near my mouth, he'd stop me (grrrrr) anyways, then instead of doing that since he didn't like me getting pissed off, he would tell me how perty my nails look long. After a little while, I just liked my nails looking long and pretty as opposed to short and jagged. That was incentive enough to stop biting :) GOOD LUCK GIRL
ware gloves or tell your self not to do it not to do it
Gloves (winter's coming, so you won't look too weird), or nail polish. Or something that will taste gross every time you go to bite them.
There are topical ointments that taste funny and you can get them at shoppers drugmart and you put it on your nails and you wont bite them and it will help your nails grow.
Another thing you could do is buy the acrylic tips their like $20 and you put them on your nails for like a month and when you take them off your nails will be long again.
It works for me might work for you and I am a bad nail biter.
Goodluck.

Nail biting WAS my "hobby" too but then I found another hobby &everything was fine.
haha. and for those that at silly and dont have a pair of boxiong gloves lyrics around the house; go to a cosmetic store and ask about this nail varnish that tastes awful.
OR
a manicure! you have to SPEND on a manicure, that way, you wont dare bite or abuse them. and! its relaxing and fun.
omg i have the same habit my fingers are so ugly but my dad told me to put bandaids on my fingers, my mom said to stick your fingers in peroixide or alchol and it'll taste bad, and my friends dad told me to put hot sauce on it. i do the bandaid thing and it's helping me so far!
ferrari boss jean todt puts clear medical tape around the tips of his fingers to stop him biting his nails during formula 1 races. seems to work for him.
use smelly (bad smell) liquids
I've heard that there's this really bitter stuff that you can put on your nails; it looks like clear nail polish, but it tastes really bitter when you try and bite your nails.
No need for solutions! Come to me for Bio Sculpture Nail Extention treatment, which will not ruin your own nails, and promote their growth!
put Hair Spray on your nails every tme you go to bite them then you'll get a nasty taste in your mouth
Wear gloves whenever you are in private. Lycra ones fro the chemist (around £5 per box) may be the best because you can still do things in them. Then the rest of the time, will power.
Will power. Next time you put your finger to your mouth look at the mess your nails are in and say to yourself 'NO'.
Nail biting is a common habit and one that's not easy to kick. However, following these steps may help you manage it and possibly quit altogether.
Instructions
* STEP 1: Purchase a bitter-tasting formula made expressly to stop nail biting. Choose the worst-tasting solution you can find.
* STEP 2: Wash hands every morning with soap and water and towel dry.
* STEP 3: Apply a liberal amount of the solution to the nails, cuticles and surrounding skin.
* STEP 4: Continue to reapply the solution throughout the day as it wears off.
* STEP 5: Reapply the solution at bedtime. Make sure the bitter taste is always present on your nails.
Tips & Warnings
* As nails begin to grow, coat them with a polish made for strengthening nails.
* Get regular manicures to maintain nails.
* Consider keeping gum or hard candy around for when you need a quick "oral fix."
You could get the nail biting solution but it doesn't always work.
What I done and it worked for me was I just stuck to one nail and left the rest to grow, I more nibblied than bit and it worked for me.now I can't stand biting my nails and I almost cry everything I break one.
nail polish remover works well for me it tastes really bad and lasts a long time. and you wont smell like garlic or have to use something smelly.
Chop your fingers off.
dip your fingers in poo
cut them short
My friend tried EVERYTHING!! she liked the bitter taste of the polish and everything, very funny, what really worked for her were the extensions. She spend good money on acrillic nails and it was the ONLY way, she got married and on her wedding she had these beautiful nails. It really worked for her.
