Take this as a tip from a former nail biter.

Start getting weekly manicures.  Once you are spending your money for manicures and you see the results of your nails growing you will not want to bite your nails.  I'm 32 years old right now and I have not bitten my nails since I was 15.

I always have had a habit of bitting my nails! I put shiner on them and I quit bitting them cause I thought the shiner would come off and it worked!!! I quit bitting them! They turned out pretty nice!

 Hm, I mostly never bite them, but when I'm worried (deadlines, late nights, body aches...no music!), I tend to bite my thumb....(It's clean!)

Thanx for your advice guys, its just that manicures are above my 4 dollar allowance every two weeks. And disgusting nail polish doesnt work on me to well....when im mad or upset ill chew right through it. I have to say though the other month i was like im not gonna chew on my nails anymore!!! I didnt for like 1/2 a month! they were long and almost beautiful. I showed my nails to everyone... I was so proud of myself.  The other day ii was rejected by my crush and i went staright into my room and chewed the night away....and the next day i cried over my short ugly nails, and chewed on them again, untill they started bleeding....... They look awfull and i m so dissapointed in myself.....now i hide my hands again.....any more (cheap) (do at home) advice?????

I'm a chronic nail biter and i found that it helps to keep the fingers busy.  fiddle with stuff, hold things.  this usually gets me by pretty well.  i fiddle with pens and hair ties or just hold them.  the worst is when i read, i don't realize i'm biting till it's too late.  sometimes i wear super thin gloves while i read.

the icky stuff didn't do anything to help, spending $$ on maicures just meant i chewed plastic.  but bobby pins, pens, and bits of paper do the trick.

ps: keep a small nail file on you at all times.  the very second that you get a bit that catches on anything, FILE IT!

Don't bite your nails! Stop the madness! I went to Sally's and bought this polish that tastes horrible but it keeps you from biting your nails and it's only three dollars. Or the other alternative is to get a manicure every week.
