Biting nails

I had that problem for a long time and here's how I solved it if it of any use, firstly go to boots and buy this nail cream called NuNale, this is what the tube looks like



it costs about 5 euro, it smells mildly like Veet but the smell or taste isn't what you're buying it for, it's actually a really good nail strenghtener, after two weeks using it you'l be able to cut glass with them also buy cheap clear nail varnish, use the NuNale every morning and night and in between coat your nails with clear nail varnish. The nail varnish isn't nesassary for it to work but everytime you get the urge to bite your nails instead of biting your nails peel the nail varnish off instead, I'm serious it sort of works in the same way as chewing gum helps if you're trying to give up smoking and there's nothing more satisfying than getting a full nail shapped peel . While you're preoccupied peeling clear nail varnish you're nails will get a chance to grow. For the first week they're going to be weak so it's best to keep them short or they'll snag on everything so you'll need emeryboards (nail files). To file them file in one direction from the edge to the center, NEVER file in both directions, always from the outside edges towards the centre and when using the NuNale push the cuticle back first so you can see the white half-moon underneath it.

This might seem like a minor issue, compared to some of the things people post here. However, it causes me so much embarrassment. I've tried and failed many times to stop biting my nails. Even when I do manage to let them grow a bit, they're so brittle that they break, split etc. Also, I've got skin growing down over them a bit, presumably raggy cuticles. I'd love to have hands to be proud of! Anyone who has managed to sort out manky, raggy nails with ridges, dents, white spots.....please share your wisdom

i bite my nails 2 and would love 2 stop. i tried most things but dey don't work on me. wel there is d nail varnish stuff...which doesn't work on me long term. there is thing that is in a pot. it has a sponge inside it and u stick your finger in it...i think it's called nail the habit but the one thing about it is that the taste goes on your food if your eating with hands and then you get used to the taste so that didn't work on me either. i have tried mustard on my fingers as well but what did work on me is fake nails. cutting them down to size. and it did work, had long nails but they broke and then i ended up biting them again. but what you should get in something that would make them stronger. cream or there a nail varnish that repairs, strengthens and then there is a sealer thing to put over it.

hope one of these works for you and you do have more will power than me.
