My nails are tiny... Really tiny. I have been constantly biting them and have realised that I Dnt let them grow at all. Due to this my nails are very brittle and break off very easily. Any ideas how to conquer this pathetic habit?

From chemists and drug stores you can buy a little bottle of what looks like nail vanish that thickens the nails and tastes disgusting ;) I had this habit too and it works xx

Red nail polish! It's like a big stop sign! You can go as far as writing stop on your nails lol. That's what worked for me and I've been biting mine since I was 4 years old and I finally stopped last year.

I used to bite my nails all the time without even noticing I was doing it. Then I started painting them and people would compliment me and I really didnt want to mess them up by biting

Nail polish. It tastes nasty! I used to bite mine all the time. So i started painting them all the time. Now i don't even have to have them painted, Because it helped stop me from biting them. and they grow long and natural! I like it (:

One of the easy things to do is to take a small amount of nail polish remover on a cotton ball and light tap the nail polish remover....then when your gonna eat just wash your hands thoughly before eating.....it works like a charm!!! XD I HOPE THIS HELPS!

Well... I just put on layers and layers of nail polish and when I'm wanting to bite I end up just sitting there peeling of the nail polish, lol it's more fun. Another thing is to keep busy... Not boring busy but interesting busy... Your brain will be to pre-occupied! It really helps.

I just started painting my nails black. Everytime I would bite my nails I would end up with little black specks on my teeth and after about the 3rd or 4th person that told me "uhm you have something in your teeth" I became so self conscience about it and stopped biting them almost immediately after that haha

This isn't very much of help. BUT I was a nail biter for 14 years of my life. When the China Glaze Colours from the Capitol collection was coming out, I was like I wanna grow my nails out for this collection. I didn't think it'd work though because I had never ever been able to stop biting my nails before.
And somehow, I did. Like I just stopped. And now I have super long pretty nails.
Again, not very helpful. But I just want to say that you CAN do it (: I believe in you!

get some acrylics on. keep them till the grow out get them professionally removed (i know it sucks spending money to stop biting your nails) after you get them removed check out how long and pretty they are. try with all your might not to bite them for a few days and in that few days clean them out with a pair or tweezers twice a day. all the crap you pull out from your nails will gross you out to no end.
remember being told that you will get worms from dirty nails? well it is 100% true. the worm eggs are trapped under your dirty nails and when you chew them they hatch in your stomach and that's how you get worms. I'm not lying of exaggerateing please look it up. if that doesn't help you stop irk what will. helped me I chewed my nails since I was really little.

Carry hand sanitizer with you like in your purse and apply some here and there so when you try and bite your nails, it'll taste bad. Or scented lotion may help too

Paint your nails but keep them unpainted for at least a couple of weeks so they can breath otherwise they won't grow as fast
