Nail biting is a common habit and one that's not easy to kick. For some, this habit occurs when nervous or possibly when bored. However, following these steps may help you manage it and possibly quit altogether.

Something that helped me quit biting my nails was snacking on cherries and olives at work--the pits kept my mouth occupied. If you eat a lot of olives, though, you might want to soak them in water overnight or your sodium intake will go through the roof.

Thank you for all your tips, i will defiantly try them and let you know how i get on. I'm actually quite desperate to stop as my two year old daughter has began copying me and she now bites her fingers and nails!

I tried this stuff called Perfect 10. It was AMAZING! Tasted really horrid and it never came off - even after you'd try to remove it with nail polish remover! The only problem is that I've run out ans I cannot buy it anywhere - I think it has stopped being made for some unknown reason. Itis the ONLY thing that worked for me. Does anyone know where I can buy some please? :-)
