What is the best way to stop biting nails?

wear gloves.(just joking) my friend has a hibit of counting when walking on the street, our psychology conductor tell him set a elastic thread around wrist , whenever want to counting drag it , wrist ache remind himself droping counting . you can have a try.

Purchase a bitter-tasting formula made expressly to stop nail biting. Choose the worst-tasting solution you can find. Wash hands every morning with soap and water and towel dry. Apply a liberal amount of the solution to the nails, cuticles and surrounding skin. Continue to reapply the solution throughout the day as it wears off. Reapply the solution at bedtime. Make sure the bitter taste is always present on your nails. As nails begin to grow, coat them with a polish made for strengthening nails. Get regular manicures to maintain nails. Consider keeping gum or hard candy around for when you need a quick "oral fix." :)

Luckily I don't have a habit to bite my nails, but my daughter and husband have this bad habbit. What I do is pain the special design nail polish for them so that they cannot bite their nails any more. According to the painting intructions, I have painted twice a day. Hard work for me! Eh...

I have this bad habit as well. Even though sometimes I told myself not to do it, I just bite them without realising it.
