Maddybff I recomend to go get acrilic nails.
They turned me from bitting nails and you can have short stubs and they add tips to get them and you can pik what lenth yould like best.
Just dont go to long to start with or you end up getting annoyed with them.
Coz acrilic nails are so hard theres no way you could bite them of and then you get usto having very elegent nails and hopefully by the time they are ready to be takken of you would have broken the habbit of bitting them as wouldnt have done it for awhile.
It worked for me hope it worx for you.thank you, yes i think thats what im gonna try next, i have them painted at the moment so that sort of stops me from biting and picking them so ill see how i go and try my hardest haha
im only gonna make this a direct reply- but im very against fake nails since they really ruin the natutal nails under – it makes the nail bed softer, weaker, and when you stop using them it takes longer t oget them healthy again – anad usually at some point ALL women decide to stop fakes and try real nails so it only hurts that in the long run. upto u but id say its worth trying the real thing and just good care will change ur mindset about how u want them to look, so if u put some creams on them and polishes, then u will stop wanting to bite them, as others said also. the bad tasting things dont tend to be that effective i think.

Hi Maddy
im the opposite – i grow super long nails that make ppl stare, so i never had the issue of tring to sto pbiting them – but ive helped al ot of friends and othe women learn good ways to grow them – when they wanted to. in tersm of the care routine or items to use.there r lots of ways to try stopping biting, and to begin growing nails – that part is easy, if ur devotedd enough, so long as u can stop picking or biting at them.
and the wys to stop are often using things like products to deter u , or something else to do with ur mouth lolzbut 2 me, the best way is to be super excited about growing ur nails, so much that it herlps u change ur mind and begint to stop biting coz ur taking suc hgr8 care..
so actualyl what id ask u is – what do u want with ur nails, what r ur goals or ideas of how u wnat them 2 become? coz working that out cna help u get ur mind thinking in a newer way about them, and this leadds to the desire to give thme gr8 care and take ur mouth away..
once i have more idea from u about that, then more direct ways to help stop biting can be tried.

ahk thanks eeveyone, i guess my goal is to be able to paint them and make them look pretty and i have considered them polishes that tast awfull but that would stop me from biting yes but i would prob keep picking them… all my friends have long nails and i just wish i did… i have so many polishes but i spend half the time using them to paint other peoples…

I just focus on having really good nails and how much better polish looks on them haha!
Right now I ruined mine again cause a few spilt and then I pick them and it all just goes downhill from there. But when I am growing them I just constantly am thinking “don’t bite, don’t bite” everytime my hands get near my face and just think about how much more I like my hands with long nails lol.

If you bite your nails there are formulas you can buy to paint over them that pretty much taste fowl so you don’t want to put them in your mouth.
