I am one of those people who bites....A LOT. not only bite, but I peeled my nails as well, layer by layer. I hated my nails and was always self conscious. I used a bitter tasting nail polish thing to remind me when I'm biting and it worked within a few weeks.
It tasted horrible, but I did it.
The only problem now... They still look horrible.
if anyone knows how to cure already peeled nails please message me
i bite when i'm bored, excited, nervous, focused, scared, happy and every other state of mind, really. I've even started on my finger-joints! God i need to see a doctor!
I just put clear coat or a light ballerina slippers pink coat on them so I don't mess them up or bite off the nail polish...this helps a lot! Also try the Nultra nail clear coat or Sally Hanson maximum nail growth clear coat it helps If u put a coat on each day or just leave it on.. I recommend and this helped me in just 3 days my Nails got the white line a little bit keep on a nail polish or clear coat and don't take it off! U will want to bite but stop yourself instantly and u won't want to d
I stopped nail biting for like 2 years, just randomly from one day to the next, and now it has returned..... worse than EVER, and nothing is working :/
i was biting my nails while watching this video ._.
i need to stop. I had tried that nail painter that has a bad taste to it and I stopped biting my nails for a week but then the thing's glass broke so i couldn't use it and i just continued :(
I really don't know what to do I bitted my nails since day 1 of my life...I cried, I prayed, I screamed, I letted all out, but I don't know what to do HELP!!
For example, just look at this woman in the video. While she bites her nails, I see stress, fear and frustration. She is not coping with something. That's why she is biting her nails.
I found that talking about anger, abandonment, fear of rejection, all these things that most people suffer can be fixed by talking and turning /learning to be positive. Letting go things. Meditating often, being relaxed. You have to treat your anxiety otherwise you will never stop biting your nails. People often say that nail biting is a form of chopping back our own claws. Find out what is that you are suppressing otherwise there is no magical cure for you. I'm talking from personal experience.
go back to the manicure salon often, keep them covered. If they look nice, you will feel less tempted to ruin it. Then use the bitter liquids at the same time to remind you about the habbit. Continue for 32 days. That part is somehow true but I recommend especially if you have some good results to keep continue wearing UK gel hard nails for another year. If you still keep biting it and even chewing off the gel, you are possibly a severe case, go and seek out professional help. (continues).
I was biting my nails for 35 years. I do not agree that nail biting is just a habbit. It's also a sign of supressed aggresitivity, great anxiety, some people do it because it hurts and it lessens the pain they subconstientiously feel or supress inside. (like other ppl pull their hair for instance, or make themselves bleed). But these are the extreme cases. I was one of them once. What I recommend is: male or woman, get UV gel nails. If you find that you are biting it, get it fixed, (continues)
Ive honestly seen the benefits of having long nails because i can open things easier but i keep on looking at my nails very tempted to bite them all the time. Today i "accedentally" bit 2 off. Ive been growing them for about a month and its been hard not to bite it
The thing I did to stop biting nails is that I used my willpower and had some encouragement. You really just need to say "I am going to stop NOW," and then refrain yourself everytime your hand goes to your mouth. It might help if you have a parent, gaurdian, or boyfriend/girlfrind comment on your nails. Ask them point blank if your nails look ugly. Ask them if they think your nail-biting habit (whither from nervousness or not) is distracting for them, and then do an expirement - grow them out!
Then as you grow them out, you can ask them how your nails look. Have the person you asked encourage you to keep your nails pretty and have them compliment your nails if you want to. You will then have beautiful nails if you keep it up. You can paint them, and wear rings without being embarrased of people seeing ragged, destroyed nails. You feel comfortable, and the underside of your nail dosn't feel sore. I am not a professional but I know from expierence. I hope you get the nails you desire!
The easiest way to stop biting your nails without having to spend money is to think about how many things you touch during the day. Then think about you touched that and most likely a hundred or more people have, so think about it some people scratch their ass, pick their nose, and a million other things and dont wash their hands. do you really want to put your fingers in your mouth with that many germs on them. Im 14 and this helped me 2 years ago. Hope it helps someone else.
those nasting tasting things DON'T work... i've been biting my nails for ever, i'm 16 and have tried those bitter tasting nail polishes, and you GET USED to the taste!!!
@MegaAngryDuckPro my only problem is that i bite around my nails and skin...its gross and whenever theres a loose nail i always end up bitting my whole nail off!
Email me if you bite your nails and I will try to help you. I used to also bite the skin all around my nails also. I used to bite the skin around my nails to the point where it was raw skin that looked like raw meat. I also used to cut my cuticles with a razor blade because I didnt know how to properly maintain my nails. Proper maintenace of nails is the first step to stopping nail biting. I still bite my nails but not to the point I was in the paste. My skin biting has completely stopped.
I always used to bite my nails, to the point where I lose focus on what I was doing and focus more on my nails ! Then when I was 14 I needed to get braces and because it actually made it painful to bite my nails I stopped without even realising xD
I bit my nails since I was about 4, when I was 13 I decided to stop. It was extremely hard and I often reverted back to biting them. Then when I was 14 I completely stopped. I haven't bitten my nails in about 2 years. Now they're long and healthy. What helped me was getting attached to them and learning how to take care of them and of course compliments help too
At my work, there's a customer who comes in and ALWAYS has his fingers in his mouth. It's disgusting. His fingers are always wet, which is gross because I'm a cashier and I have to take his money. It's not sanitary, and I can't always understand what he's saying because his fingers are ALWAYS in his mouth. I just wish I could get him to stop doing it in public!

it is hard, i bit them all my life, and i just quit this summer. here is what i did: i put on acrylic nails until my own were long enough, then i took them off and got a manicure.. i paint them often in colors so i wont want to mess them up. i have not bitten a single nail in 4 months!!
wow great progress @cenimeing ive been biting my nails since i was around the age of 4 and im 12 now and i want to stop bitting my nails thanx 4 the tips :)
@cenimeing Me too! I had been biting them for almost 15 years, but one day I realized I had to do something about it. It's been a year now, I'm 16 and I still get them done every three weeks, but I decided to take the fake nails off this Friday. It feels so good not to be ashamed of my own hands! Wish me luck!
@mir4etyyyy that awesome! you can kick the habit! another thing i do is i carry a nail file with me so that if i get a little crack or a piece breaks, i can file them and not be tempted to fix it by biting it if i didnt have a file. one thing tho, i have a hard time finding nail polish that doesnt chip, so i end up painting them every week. I do my own manicures, so it is not expensive at all :)
@cenimeing Hmm, that's a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll start doing it, too. Oh, and guess what? I got rid of the acrylic nails, now they're all mine, all natural. And to think I used to be disgusted of my own nails! I had been biting them for at least 13 years, you know.
Since it probably won't work for guys, I recommend to every girl who bites her nails go get fake ones done at least once a month. In a couple of months you'll forget about this awful habit... After all, you can't hide your hands.
Omg my nails are tinier then ever u cant see any white and I really want to stop biting so i can paint since I am a girl who loves 2 pant nails thunbs up if u feel same way.
@TheLollipopPrincess7 i know im exactly the same that stuff you put on your nails does help but the nit comes off :( and then im too lazy to put more on lol
@Aussiegirl265 i know its very hard your right! .. heres how i stopped........ itold my self (look at your nails!! ewww! there is bacteria in the middle and that goes all in you stomach!!! and they look so ugly!) you dont have to paint your nails just tell your self no more biting nails no more!! and then i quit! for 9 days i havent been biting my nails and they are regaining its shape! you just gotta tell yourself maybe once or maybe twice but its the only way! good luck!
@CaroThePharaoh your right its very hard but all you gotta do is tell your self no more biting nails! i quit for nine days already! i had to tell myself like 5 times but it finally worked! good luck
If u Bite Ur Nails Go to SuperDrug And Buy This Little Pot Called Nail Biting and Dab Your ingers in everyday and it has a Awful Taste and U stop biting ur nails in 2 days and in 2 weeks you have beautiful long nails anyways thats what happend to me !:)
I grew my nails out once into natural french tips. I was so happy, until a few of them broke. My biting has started again, so I plan to grow out my french nails and keep them nice :D
@Aerodil That's what I plan on doing. Growing them out and keeping them looking nice. I plan to do french tips. Today is day two of not biting or tearing my nails. :) I just painted them and put hard as nails on it, hopefully it'll help me not to bite or tear them. It's a nervous habit for me.
i realise this. everytim im hungry but i dont want to eat, for sure i'll be biting on mynails. or if not, there's a few times, for one whole month i dont eat my fingers -.-
i tried one of the bitter taste things that you put on nails, it tastes kinda like dandlions and medicine mixed toghether... which is well, gross. but the problem is if you have short nails and you apply it in a messy way, every single food you touch tastes bitter. i gave up after two days. im still biting my nails.
@puppyluvr706RS I had no nails & did apply it in a messy way. Yes it will make the food you touch taste awful & that's why you use silverware or rubber gloves. If you really want to stop biting & you find something that really works then you work with it. I'm still not biting & I haven't starved to death either... :)
I just knew it wasn't going to work but I thought I might as well try it so I could still say i've tried everything. To my surprise it was by far the nastiest crap i've ever tasted! I couldn't get used to the taste so for 2 months now I haven't bitten 1 nail. My nails are growing but slow & deformed looking. If you are a nail biter, DON'T give up on quitting! The product I am using is Kick The Habit by Hoof. It has a red label & it is on the nail files & nail clippers isle NOT the polish isle.
@martynjennifer I'm glad it's working for you. But it depends on what store you are talking about. For me I found that stuff in the nail aisle. It had paint and grooming tools all in one aisle. lol It's in the "pharmacy" section where all the makeup and nail products are.
I have been a nail biter for 38 years. Everyone I have ever met in my life has told me that I was the worst nail biter that they had ever seen. I don't just bite my nails short, I bite them off, completely off, no nail nowhere on my finger. At the time I had tried everything but nothing worked. The other day while I was in Wal Mart I decided to check out a fairly new product that I saw. Continued to next comment-
I go to a nail salon and put fake nails on, but 20$ everyother week is stupid
so i paint my nails red, or blue, chew them and then some people will point out something in my teeth, it embarringson so i just dont do it, the fake nails are so cute, butt they tear them up sooo bad! i actually went one month without it and they looked so pretty, then i bit them because i was at school.
This wont work for too long, you will get used to the taste. Another thing I did which actually worked was to google nail biting and read alot about it. I read about it for like 2 hours before going to bed, and when i woke up, the next day i thought about it all the time. And when i thought about it I stopped it. But after a while when i got boored when trying to sleep I started biting, so do not put your fingers close to your mouth when boored. for first tie in my life I had normail nails...
i used to bite my nails all the time since i was little then one day i saw a beautiful nail desone and was so jeaslouse that i couldnt do it without fake ones so i decided to stop it was hard and my nails were weak but 6 months later alot of care their fully grown and strong and i found sally hanson products worked wonders on them xD
oh yeah be careful all the rubbing with your nail and your teeth can damage the dental enamel. My front teeth are transparent from the edges and I have beautiful teeth.
@couchpotatomonkey I know that's a hard one. I bite AND tear my nails. I put nail polish on them and it helps remind me not to mess with them. I used a hot pink color (I'm female) that was bright and noticeable. So hopefully you can find something that helps you stop ripping your nails.
My nails are disgusting bc of my habit /: I refuse to get fake ones on professionally b/c im ashamed of them. i tried fake ones by myself and i chewed 'em off ! i even bite nail polish off ! help :((
I've been biting my nails and the skin around them for as far back as I can remember. I'm 19 now!!! I have self discipline and I can stop myself from biting my nails ever again. I'm starting right now!
I am at the end of my rope. For me, nail/skin biting is a craving - like an itch I just have to scratch, and I can't let go of the craving until I do the act. It is also a habit that I do usually every night in the bathroom. I am now trying an herb (pill) called Valerian ($5 at grocery store). It promotes relaxation and I actually went a WEEK without biting...until I stopped taking it for a few days. My friend said it's OK to take every day so I'm starting again tonight. :)
im ready to kill myself, i stopped nail biting for about a week because i wanted to wear nail polish nicely, now ive chewed them all of. Ive found what actually helps is paying attention more to the nails, consitency putting on strenghner. remind yourself about your nails and look at them once and a while, it will stop you mindlessly chewing them
I bite my nails all the time. I had that bitter tasting thing and I chewed that til the point where I loved it. I used lemon juice but now I luv it and don't make a face of sourness. The bitter nailpolish does nothing, that cherry-blossom stuff I'm allergic to so. Now what. Acrylic nails I bite and chew I try putting salt on my nails and the the nail varnish but. NOTHING will stop me... PLEASE HELP ME!!!
@xICozza i used to....... heres how i stopped........ itold my self (look at your nails!! ewww! there is bacteria in the middle and that goes all in you stomach!!!) you dont have to paint your nails just tell your self no more biting nails no more!! and then i quit! for 9 days i havent been biting my nails and they are regaining its shape! you just gotta tell yourself maybe once or maybe twice but its the only way! good luck!
i recommend HOOF NAIL BITTER i use for like a month and my habit is gone i cant believe i use to bite my nails since i had 4 years old im 22 now and i cant believe this nail polish work couse i tried a lot diffente polish before and nothing work. IT cost LIKE 4 DOLLARS so dont wait try it u will see im sure ill work on u. i was the worst nail bitter ever i it works and i have 2 sisters that are using it too
I tried to stop but longest ive gone is like about two days and this was only on one finger and then next thing im wacthing a movie a bite the nail off i was really dissapointed so i by the nail polish and i hated the taste but now im uset to the taste and i really dont care for it
@alexrr1997 use the hoof nail bitter that polish taste really nasty i even had to go wash my mouth couse taste nasty it cost like 4 dollas at HEB or ebay try it im sure ill work i was just like you i came back to this to tell people a bout this polish couse im happy it works
Some weeks ago I said to myself Id stop biting my nails. It was quite easy. Firstly I've aplied SOS nail polish for damanged nails and every time I was licking my nails and about to bite them I felt the polish flavour and stopped. Then it became an habit. Afterwards I've putten a nail strengthener and they got strong and really hard to bite. Now I don't bite them at all and don't really feel that need. My biggest problem is bitting the skin surrounding the nails and the inside of my mouth. :(
I Dont Know Why But i Bite My Nails Andd When I Bite It Till The Tip Of The Finger It Hurts! i Tryy To Wear Nail Polish To Make My Nails Look Better But Insted i Bite Da Nail Polish Too! Andd Im 12! Nd im nervous for no reason.
Hi, I struggle with this and been doing this as far as I can remember. I don't like the way my nails look it's embarrassing and I notice my daughter is also biting her nails. I will take the challenge for 31 days and will let you know how the results thanks.
DOESNT WORK!! I tried it for god knows how many times.Really wanna stop but just find it really hard anybody out there that might be able to give some advice??
i swear the only way to stop is to realize you are stressed and when you realize you are biting your nails just stop for a moment and relax and just let the stress ride out...wearing gloves and nail polish won't cure that mental compulsion to bite. trust me i know
0:53 "... it's kind of a Homeopathic method" ie A placebo. Any substance will work. Use pure water and say it's a scientifically researched solution of DiHydrogen Monoxide.
Substituting one habit for another. Could be bad news. eg. Smokers who stop putting cigarettes in their mouth and substitute this for food, put on weight. "I want to stop smoking but I don't want to put on weight." Substitute biting nails for breathing in and out once while counting a finger with each out breath.
What finally worked for me was just filing them round and bringing a nail file everywhere I went, I just filed them instead of biting. Now when my nails are damaged I still tend to bite, but when the edges are round and flawless I feel no need to bite them at all:) Only now I get irritated that they grow so fast, it takes quite some work keeping them to look nice! Ow yeah, files made of glass perform miracles! It made my nails so much stronger.
@MarritJolanda That worked for me, because I no longer had those little sharp edges or pieces of nail to latch onto. The bitter nail polish did not work because the taste transfers onto anything you eat with your hands and it makes you feel sick! Filing all the way.
Omgosh...I really have to stop. I've been biting my nails for around 9 years now and it's horrible!! My parents used to clip my nails when I was younger and I would always dread it. I eventually found a way to get out of it by trimming my nails with my teeth...and hence the addiction started :(
i have that thatt problem to and i need to stop i just bite off all my tips cause i grew my nails for a week and the tips were so pretty but then i bite them it off and im stated again
I have this probem, but the nail polish doesnt work, coz I dont mind the taste. I really need help fast.. oh and also i dont have enought time to go out and uy stuff and were not aloud to wear nail polish for chool
You could try painting them

wow great progress @cenimeing ive been biting my nails since i was around the age of 4 and im 12 now and i want to stop bitting my nails thanx 4 the tips :)
alayoo24 5 months ago
@cenimeing Me too! I had been biting them for almost 15 years, but one day I realized I had to do something about it. It's been a year now, I'm 16 and I still get them done every three weeks, but I decided to take the fake nails off this Friday. It feels so good not to be ashamed of my own hands! Wish me luck!
mir4etyyyy 4 months ago
@mir4etyyyy that awesome! you can kick the habit! another thing i do is i carry a nail file with me so that if i get a little crack or a piece breaks, i can file them and not be tempted to fix it by biting it if i didnt have a file. one thing tho, i have a hard time finding nail polish that doesnt chip, so i end up painting them every week. I do my own manicures, so it is not expensive at all :)
cenimeing 4 months ago
@cenimeing Hmm, that's a pretty good idea. Maybe I'll start doing it, too. Oh, and guess what? I got rid of the acrylic nails, now they're all mine, all natural. And to think I used to be disgusted of my own nails! I had been biting them for at least 13 years, you know.
Since it probably won't work for guys, I recommend to every girl who bites her nails go get fake ones done at least once a month. In a couple of months you'll forget about this awful habit... After all, you can't hide your hands.

@Aerodil That's what I plan on doing. Growing them out and keeping them looking nice. I plan to do french tips. Today is day two of not biting or tearing my nails. :) I just painted them and put hard as nails on it, hopefully it'll help me not to bite or tear them. It's a nervous habit for me.

i tried one of the bitter taste things that you put on nails, it tastes kinda like dandlions and medicine mixed toghether... which is well, gross. but the problem is if you have short nails and you apply it in a messy way, every single food you touch tastes bitter. i gave up after two days. im still biting my nails.

@puppyluvr706RS I had no nails & did apply it in a messy way. Yes it will make the food you touch taste awful & that's why you use silverware or rubber gloves. If you really want to stop biting & you find something that really works then you work with it. I'm still not biting & I haven't starved to death either... :)
martynjennifer 7 months ago
I just knew it wasn't going to work but I thought I might as well try it so I could still say i've tried everything. To my surprise it was by far the nastiest crap i've ever tasted! I couldn't get used to the taste so for 2 months now I haven't bitten 1 nail. My nails are growing but slow & deformed looking. If you are a nail biter, DON'T give up on quitting! The product I am using is Kick The Habit by Hoof. It has a red label & it is on the nail files & nail clippers isle NOT the polish isle.

@martynjennifer I'm glad it's working for you. But it depends on what store you are talking about. For me I found that stuff in the nail aisle. It had paint and grooming tools all in one aisle. lol It's in the "pharmacy" section where all the makeup and nail products are.

I have been a nail biter for 38 years. Everyone I have ever met in my life has told me that I was the worst nail biter that they had ever seen. I don't just bite my nails short, I bite them off, completely off, no nail nowhere on my finger. At the time I had tried everything but nothing worked. The other day while I was in Wal Mart I decided to check out a fairly new product that I saw. Continued to next comment-

This wont work for too long, you will get used to the taste. Another thing I did which actually worked was to google nail biting and read alot about it. I read about it for like 2 hours before going to bed, and when i woke up, the next day i thought about it all the time. And when i thought about it I stopped it. But after a while when i got boored when trying to sleep I started biting, so do not put your fingers close to your mouth when boored. for first tie in my life I had normail nails...

I am at the end of my rope. For me, nail/skin biting is a craving - like an itch I just have to scratch, and I can't let go of the craving until I do the act. It is also a habit that I do usually every night in the bathroom. I am now trying an herb (pill) called Valerian ($5 at grocery store). It promotes relaxation and I actually went a WEEK without biting...until I stopped taking it for a few days. My friend said it's OK to take every day so I'm starting again tonight. :)

im ready to kill myself, i stopped nail biting for about a week because i wanted to wear nail polish nicely, now ive chewed them all of. Ive found what actually helps is paying attention more to the nails, consitency putting on strenghner. remind yourself about your nails and look at them once and a while, it will stop you mindlessly chewing them

Some weeks ago I said to myself Id stop biting my nails. It was quite easy. Firstly I've aplied SOS nail polish for damanged nails and every time I was licking my nails and about to bite them I felt the polish flavour and stopped. Then it became an habit. Afterwards I've putten a nail strengthener and they got strong and really hard to bite. Now I don't bite them at all and don't really feel that need. My biggest problem is bitting the skin surrounding the nails and the inside of my mouth. :(

Substituting one habit for another. Could be bad news. eg. Smokers who stop putting cigarettes in their mouth and substitute this for food, put on weight. "I want to stop smoking but I don't want to put on weight." Substitute biting nails for breathing in and out once while counting a finger with each out breath.

pebb2222 1 year ago
What finally worked for me was just filing them round and bringing a nail file everywhere I went, I just filed them instead of biting. Now when my nails are damaged I still tend to bite, but when the edges are round and flawless I feel no need to bite them at all:) Only now I get irritated that they grow so fast, it takes quite some work keeping them to look nice! Ow yeah, files made of glass perform miracles! It made my nails so much stronger.
MarritJolanda 1 year ago
@MarritJolanda That worked for me, because I no longer had those little sharp edges or pieces of nail to latch onto. The bitter nail polish did not work because the taste transfers onto anything you eat with your hands and it makes you feel sick! Filing all the way.
