I have hear that dipping them in lemon juice can help cause it will be so sour you won't want to bite your nails and after a while of doing this the urge to bite your nails is supposed to go away

I never bit my nails again after hearing they have more germs than a toilet seat does! but try making pretty patterns on them so you won't want to ruin your nice work!

I used to suck my thumb hard core until my mom put hot sauce on my thumb, so maybe that will work! Unless you like hot sauce...

I actually stopped biting my nails when I got my braces cause I couldnt bite them
But if you soak them in nail polish remover
It lasts
Longer than lemon juice

I bite my nails too and I've stopped before but my best tip is just to keep them painted, and whenever you find yourself like biting them or picking at them, do something else with your hands.

I agree with katrina! I tried all that yuck nail polish, it just doesn't work for long but getting fake nails put on and painting normal nails regularly is the best way :)

Hand Sanitizer tastes awful! Keep putting hand Sanitizer on your hands.

You can try putting a rubber band on your wrist and popping it every time you get the urge to bite. I used to bite my nails. Or just put nail polish remover or bleach on your nails. It doesn't taste good and it will keep your fingers out of your mouth.

I used to bite my nails too
here is what you should try:
everytime you put your hands up to your mouth to bite your nails, think about how gorgeous they would look if you let them grow and your hand will automtically come down. it worked for me!
