    wipe them with nail polish remover, if you try to bite them it tastes bitter. that is how I broke my habit

    Like many people have said, painting your nails is a great way! If you bite into it, you'll have disgusting chunks of it in your mouth so it helps to cure the habit. Another option would be bandaging the tips of your fingers with a band aid so that you literally can't bite them off! Or you could always do both of these options at the same time (: hope this helped!

    Wear gloves, or put something distasteful on your finger tips, like rubbing alcohol, dish soap, perfume/cologne, just something that can dry and leave a bad taste in your mouth if you try to bite your nails. Or always keep them clipped short, so you literally can't bite them.

    Paint your nails. Spend a lot of time doing them so you won't bite them cause you worked hard on painting them

    put nail polish like everyone says, theres also some nail polish that have nasty or spicy flavors in it , i had those and it helped me stop biting them off

    You could opt to soak your fingertips in a foul-tasting liquid or any coating that you find so offensive to taste - so that each time you put your fingers into your mouth, you immediately stop.

    Source(s): Enough repetitions of this will force you to stop biting your fingernails. Rx

    always have nail polish on so you won't bite them. it would taste gross so then you wont do it anymore.
