How to stop biting my nails by Vicky

"Tried every trick in the damn book"

How I did it: After trying almost every solution that was suggested on 43things, the internet and from friends I finally found one that worked for me.

I'd tried the rubber band technique, sour tasting nail polish, carrying a nail file everywhere with me and chewing gum to distract me but eventually I just found that having my nails painted stopped me from biting them. I hated the idea of chemicals in my mouth and if I bit them whilst they were painted then the polish would get into my mouth and it was horrible. 

So yes, having my nails painted at all times for about a month and a half stopped me biting them all together, now I don't go to bite them even if they aren't painted! :)

Lessons & tips:

  • Try to find the technique that works best for you.
  • Keep your nails looking as nice as possible, you won't want to ruin them that way :)
  • Don't give up hope!
