I used to just stare at pictures of nail art and think about doing it to my own nails. Each time I went to bite them I would think of my goal and stop. I also bought tons of nail art stuff as an incentive

I had a teacher that would soak your nails in hot sauce and chilli peppers if she saw you hitting your nails more than once.

I used to bite my nails down to the quick I honestly thought I would never stop. One day I just stopped don't know how or why but I havent bitten in 4 years. Thats not helpful to you I know but you just need willpower really I know how hard it is. I also did what ella did and bought nice polishes and handcream and saved pics of nice manicures for inspiration and it does help as it keeps you determined to stop. Good luck.

Get clear nail polish and put some garlic in it. paint your nails. the taste is TERRIBLE. you won't bite them again. and if you don't want to just keep your nails clear then when you paint your nails a color you like just top it off with the clear garlic nail polish. after 30 days you won't even feel like biting your nails again(:

Dip your nails in lemon juice. When you go to bite your nails it reminds you to stop.

I totally understand what you're going through and I used to bite my nails for years, to the point that they now grow veryyyy slowly. Its gross, and I hated it. I tried things like keeping my hands occupied or putting nail polish on them to keep from biting, but honestly none of that worked for me. The only way I could stop biting was a combination of just sheer willpower, because I was so sick of being the girl who's nails were always too short to be painted bright colors, and taking care of my nails and hand more. I started using the Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle and that really helped my nails grow faster, which helped me control myself and not bite, I also used the Sinful Colors Anti-Bite, which is a nasty tasting polish. But don't worry, you'll kick the habit. Just really set your mind to it :)

I think what keeps me motivated is... seeing all these pics of cute nail designs and what not... and since I have chubby fingers cone like my family makes fun of me saying I have man hands :'(..sooo thats a big motivation for me... I don't wanna be the one with man hands lol.
