      I managed to break this particular habit. A friend of mine commented about how she looks at people’s fingers nails… I stopped overnight. Got an actual set of files and keep them shaped and buffed. A little oil and they are nice and shiny without any polish too

      Have you tried nail polish? I had a nail biting phase which I successfully replaced with a nail polish phase.

        I’ve had it suggested but haven’t tried it. Are you talking about color polish, or what people have tried suggesting to me, polish that tastes awful?

          I do colour polish because I like colours, but frankly I’ve not encountered any good-tasting nail polish :P

      I was able to stop by teaching myself classical guitar. Suddenly there was a reason to have nails and it was easy to stop. I guess it’s similar to the other guy having nail polish. Find a reason for yourself to have fingernails instead of simply trying to stop biting them.
