Here are a few tips that might help, including some of the ones you've already listed:
-get the bad tasting nail polish
-cover your nails in nail polish remover every day (it tastes horrible)
-tell yourself if you bite your nails you can't eat any halloween candy, or if you bite your nails you'll have to do 100 push ups.
-get those fake nails, that way you can't bite them
-get your nails done each week and have your mom make you spend your own money on the manicure so if you bite your nails its your fault they get messed up and you won't bite them anymore
-make a deal with your parents that if they see you not biting your nails for a whole day you get to go out to dinner, and then move it up to 3 days, 5 days, a week..so on
-eat really healthy, this will make your nails really thick and you won't be able to bite them (that is what happened to me!)
good luck%26lt;3 take my advice!
I have the same problem but I just recently quit. Look at your nails now and see how ugly and chewed up they are. Do you find that attractive? If you dont then think about this, do any of your friends have long pretty nails that your jealous about or a guy that you like but you think he wont like you cause your nails are all chewed up? keep thinking about this and try to stop biting your nails. Eventually youll have nice pretty nails long enough to paint without getting nail polish on your skin. This really helped me. i hope it helps you too. Good luck PS also think about all the germs your putting in your mouth when biting your nails, that woud totally gross me out.
hmm i honestly have the same problem and i hope you find a great answer
i had ur same problem...
but i dont bite my nails noww!!
i hope this helpsss in someway
First start from setting short term period for which you will not bite your nails. 3days, a week, decide according to your will power.
Don't forget to give your self a reward when you complete this goal. This reward can be anything like buying your self nail paint or some accessory. However, if you don't finish your goal then give yourself a tight slap or punish yourself buy reducing your shopping dates for that month. Rewarding will temp you to quit this habit and punishing will make you not wanting to bite your nails again.
There are people who are found to be wearing gloves all day long so that they can prevent themselves from biting nails. You can also try this in initial stage and then after some days check whether you can do without the gloves also. Wearing gloves for some days won't prove to be a bad investment if it helps you get rid of this habit.
Are mouth hates to accept things that are not liked by are taste buds. That gives you one more chance to quit this habit. Apply non toxic gels on your nails. The bad taste of the gel will not let you bite your nails again. Don't forget to make sure that you purchase a non toxic gel only that will be safe both for your and your nails health.
We should not forget that habit are always decision taken by are unconscious mind so the best thing is to let your sub conscious know that you want to leave this habit. Every day before going to bed say 10 times loudly that you don't want to bite your nails again. Let your sub-conscious listen to it and in not time you will find yourself free from this habit
SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT I HAD AN AUNT WHO THEY OPERATED HER CUZ SHE BITTED HER NAILS AND WORMS STARTED GROWING ON HER STOMACH CUZ BITTING NAILS PLEASE PLEASE STOP BITTING THEM ITS VERY GROOOSEE WHEN U SEE THE WORMS...
i used to do that..but after i got acrylic nails on i stopped biting my nails.
Well you took the first step, you want to quit. Every time you start to bite your nails think of how you are going to quit, not that you want to but how you are going to, stay positive. Then if you try to bite them repeat to yourself...
“I don’t bite my nails!”
“I DON’T bite my nails!”
“I DON’T BITE MY NAILS!”
I was just watching this on the View the other day....Whoopi totally convinced me never to bite my nails again!
Think of this....
Do you wash you hands after going to the bathroom everytime?
Do you wash your hands after touching a door knob?
How about this....Do you SCRUB under your finger nails EVERYtime you wash your hands....? If not then everytime you bite your nails....that's what goes in your mouth. :)
Hope this helps :D Good luck.
try bitting on dental floss sticks. It will kill two birds with on stone.
put somethin that taste really bad its what my mom did
what do you get out of chewing your nails. its nto the nail chewing but whats underneath...whats causing it. i am nervous a lot and i chew my nails. instead of that...i brin something that i can playwith with myfingers. it keeps my hands occupied. other than that...im sorry...but willpowr...
Um, don't do it? It sounds like you've tried everything. I don't know what to tell you. Wear gloves? Put tape on your fingers? I really, honestly don't know what to tell you. I don't bite my nails because there are so many germs on the human hand. I don't want that in my mouth. I keep a bottle of that Germ-X stuff in my purse. I seriously don't enjoy knowing that whatever I've touched, many others have touched it before me. They may have been pickin' their nose or something much nastier!!! I'm not a germaphobe or anything like that...I just don't like getting sick...I'm a fairly well person, and I'd like to stay that way.
i dint know but i think i have already answered this question
once
rip your nail out with pliers.
might hurt a bit but GUARANTEED to work.
use the nail polish that tastes bad... and chew lots of gum at places, or ice at home... ice is really good...
try chewing gum
How to Stop Biting Your Nails
Tape your nails. One way to stop biting your nails is to tape the end of each with Scotch tape. Then when you go to bite your nail, you'll get an unpleasant mouthful of tape.
Apply a cream or lacquer. At your local grocery store or pharmacy you'll be able to find a plethora of nail creams and lacquers. Simply apply them to your nail and you'll get an unpleasant bitter taste each time you try and bite your nails! Brands such as ';Control-It,'; or Orly beauty's ';No Bite'; are such products. But truthfully, there are many on the market that all work well. If it tastes bitter, it should be a deterrent.
Chew gum. Sometimes biting your nails has less to do with the obsession of nail biting and potentially more to do with an oral fixation. Therefore try chewing gum to occupy your mouth. That way if you try and bite your nails, you'll be stuck with sticky fingers.
Wear mittens. If all else fails, wear mittens. It is so ridiculously unpractical and slightly embarrassing in public, that it should help stop that nasty nail biting habit real quick!
This is not a quick fix or miracle cure and YOU are in charge of sticking with the program. You must be 150% determined to do it or it wont work.
Caring for your nails
Purchase a bitter-tasting formula made expressly to stop nail biting. Choose the worst-tasting solution you can find. Wash hands every morning with soap and water and towel dry.
Apply a liberal amount of the solution to the nails, cuticles and surrounding skin. Continue to reapply the solution throughout the day as it wears off.
Reapply the solution at bedtime. Make sure the bitter taste is always present on your nails.
As nails begin to grow, coat them with a polish made for strengthening nails. Get regular manicures to maintain nails.
