How do I stop biting my nails?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

1. Confront your problem. Get a camera and take some pictures of your bitten fingernails. Examine your nails, and list their problems.
2. Visualize yourself with healthy nails, and how great they will look.
3. Pick at least one nail to "protect" at a time.
3a. After a few days, an non-bitten nail will flourish and reward you. Do not bite it. If you must, bite one of the 'unprotected' ones. Sometimes it elps knowing that you have another nail to bite, even if you don't actually nibble at any unprotected ones.
3b.Once you have grown your non-bitten nail for a while, start protecting another one. And another. And another, until every single nail is protected.

After doing some research on the web I would suggest trying the following:
1. It may be that your nails aren't the problem, it's your mouth (oral fixation). Maybe try chewing gum to keep you mouth busy?
2. Some people think hypnosis is the bee's knees. If you're up for it (or desperate) I'd give it a try.
3. And if you don't mind looking silly, you could try putting stickers or pieces of tape on the ends of your nails as a reminder to not bite them. Or wear gloves whenever you get the urge to bite.

I have the same problem. Keeping my nails polished helped me some. I see you have tried that. Good luck.
hmm I'll have to try that number 3 and see if it works... thanks!
