Put on dish detergent like cascade. I have that same problem and I get cascade and my hands when I do dishes and I don't bite on my nails for the rest of the day it tastes so bad even if u wash your hands. Or use nail polish and I think my mom said there is some poison in some nail polishes so you can't eat it (be aware it can freak you out and make you paranoid not to bite) Or use this No bite stuff you put on your nails. Its for like babies not to suck on there thumbs or fingers. It can help so I bet it would taste horrible for a baby to stop. If nothing else works put this sticky Vaseline product on the top of your fingers. It feels weird and when you touch your lips it will remind you. Good luck!Does anybody have any ideas to stop biteing my nails cuz i do it like crazy!?
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.








◦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.


◦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.


4.Record your progress in a notebook or photo album. Take ';before and after'; photos of your nails and put them in the book to keep you motivated. Recognizing that it usually takes three weeks to grow nails half a centimeter, chart out in the book how long you want your nails to be by a certain date.


◦


■Example : Today I began protecting my index finger on my right hand. I am now protecting 4 fingers. I almost bit my nails when I was in maths period with Mr. McKenzie droning on about square roots. I played with a bit of playdough under my desk to stop it. My nails are 1.4 cm long and I want my nails to be at 1.7 cm on March the 5th.


5.Eat calcium and magnesium - rich foods so that your nails will repair and grow well. Not only that, but most of the reason that the human body wants to bite nails is the lack of calcium and magnesium in the body and the body needs that material back.


6.Push your cuticles back. Many nail-biters do not have ';moons'; on the base of their fingernails because their cuticles have not been pushed back. To do this, gently push your cuticles towards your finger to reveal more of your nail. This is easier to do after a shower when your hands and nails are wet. This makes the nail appear longer, and it gives a more attractive shape, which might also be a motivation to stop biting.


7.Find a habit to take the place of nail biting. Whenever you have the urge to bite, do that instead. Some people like to drum their fingers, or just stare at their hands. Just make sure it's not a bad habit; choose a helpful one or one that doesn't really matter either way. 'Bitrex' is a chemical that is put in products to make them taste foul, obtained from your local pharmacy. It's included in nibble inhibitors that you paint on to your nails. Carry some with you at all times. Apply your nasty solution several times a day. If you get used to the taste, choose another brand.


8.Distract your mouth. Eat carrot sticks to keep you busy. Keep a stick of gum handy for those weak moments.





Distract your hands by taking up a hobby.





◦A hobby to distract your hands might be making models or maintaining your house, knitting or crochet, running or other outside pursuits, or even nail care and decoration!


◦For those whose nail biting is obsessive/compulsive it may help to approach your hobby obsessively.


10.Cover your nails. For females, fit artificial nails. They can really help. For guys, polish them and apply some shine/growth promoter or petroleum jelly. It's harder to bite nails that are looking great!








◦Keep gloves in your back pocket and wear them when you want to bite.


11.If you have any surplus growth, cut your nails back. Keep clippers with you at all times. You can't bite if there's nothing there!


12.Speaking about your nails will help to focus your mind on your goals. Ask for help from your partner(s). Keep talking about your goals.








◦Show off your improved nails', and get much-needed encouragement and praise from your peers.


13.Be proud of your improving nails. They will shine with beauty.


14.Go for a manicure, and chat with the manicurist about having great nails.








◦If you are male and you go in for a manicure and anyone gives you grief for not being manly, just say you are taking radical steps, whatever it takes. That should be manly enough for anyone.








15.Keep looking after your nails, with cuticle oil, shine and growth promoter, and no biting!








tips





•Get to know yourself, the first step is to be conscious when you start biting your nails. Feel your anxiety or stress levels.


•Don't start thinking there is a short term solution. To stop nail biting, one requires patience and awareness.


•Use an emery board to file when ever you feel like biting. Even if you file them down to nothing, it's better then chewing into your nail bed. Ouch!


•Try using a coating that seals moisture in the nail and repels water and dirt. Oils or even waxy lip balm can be effective at softening nails.


•Keep going with the program, any setbacks should be confronted as quickly as possible, to prevent a complete relapse.


•Let white spots grow out gently. They are caused by blows or stress to the nail.


•You can chew gum as it keeps you from biting your nails.


•Take magnesium pills, one a day. They strengthen the nails and make them hard.
Rub cyanide on them so that if you bite them you die. kidding





But rub something on them that you don't like so that it disgust you when you bite them
put something on your fingers that doesn't taste good and you'll get out of the habit. or you can also put tape around them or something lol.
