How I did it: disgusting tasting nail polish, it makes you very aware of what your doing when there is a consequence (vile taste in your mouth) i became very conscious of my nail biting behaviour. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I am extremely health conscious, and one day I painted my nails and then I realized that painting my nails stopped me biting, because I was scared of getting nail polish in my mouth, after about a week I stopped painting my nails and it seemed to be a little easier, I still had the urge but I kept thinking to myself how much better having nails would look, stubs aren't exactly flattering :) Read how I did it…
How I did it: At first i tried to quit it on my own but i couldn't. After 2 weeks i bought a product that REALLY helped me out! It's called "MAVALA stop" i think and when you put your nails or fingers to your mouth, it has a very weird and distusting taste. Yuk! xd Anyway you can put it on like nail polish and it helps you quit nail bitting in no time! I really like my nails now! =) Read how I did it…
LaurenC18 is excited for tomorrow.
How I did it: I simply told myself that this was only something small i wanted to stop doing, so in doing it i could prove to myself that i could set bigger goals to accomplish. Not to mention biting my nails made me feel anxious, and now im much more relaxed. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I always bit my nails just from habit, but hated it. After having fake nails for the first time, my nails became really long. I was excited but bit them off again within an hour. Just about 3 weeks ago, I bought some new nail polish and painted my nails. See I don't bite them when they are painted because I would hate nail polish in my mouth. My nails are still growing but longer than ever!! I also always have my… Read how I did it…

I did this once before but my nails were weak and I ended up biting again since they would tear anyways. 4 days ago I bought some calcium nail hardener and I have removed and reapplied as directed for 3 of those 4 days (forgot last night) and I am putting Hoof Stop the Bite over that so it tastes bad if I put my fingers in my mouth. I am just starting to get the hint of a white line at the tips so hopefully they will be stronger this time.
people make it sound easy to stop biting your nails when to me it’s the hardest thing in the world because i always decide to stop biting them and i forget and i don’t remember till they’re gone and it’s not easy to remember because it’s like i get in a coma and dont remember until its done,, i just wish so hard the i can do it im trying
candiedsky just finished her exhilarating workout. :))))
I don’t even realize I’m doing it when I’m doing it. It’s horrible for your teeth and nail condition anyway. Maybe the old fashioned “vinegar trick” will work. Maybe..

I didn’t bite my nails for a whole week. I was so proud of myself. But then, I was laying down watching tv, and after getting bored with the commercials, I couldn’t help but nibble! I felt so angry. My thumbnails look much better, but I’m gonna try and stick with this from now on.

I can’t help it!! Every time I need to think, my hand automatically moves to my mouth…
I don’t have nails. I have stubby wannabe nails.
I am doing it less now, even though it is a more stressful part of the year. Bon travail!
pokey_jo if a pinata made a noise, that's what it would sound like.
Ok, I know it’s fuzzy… But I took a picture of my nails on my left hand… They’re longer than the other hand. lol.
I got complimented on my nails today. It made me happy for a minute. :-)
