I'm always shocked by my "kiwi-ness" when I do a video with me actually in it... I can't edit it out as easily. So, apologies if I come across a bit forward or blunt or you can't understand me. I talk super fast and am "kiwi as, bro."
(P.S Kiwi is colloquial term for New Zealander!).

I was born into a very troubled family (My Gma sold my baby sister) So biting nails was deffo a coping mechanism as was sucking my thumb.

For me WORKING a lot is my go to solution followed by sheer survival manicure to prevent the nail pains: hangnails, side rips into the nail bed, infections, etc.

My thumb sucking habit was broke as a single mom of four working two full time jobs; but the nail biting always seems to remain. I tried the nail salon methods after money was more available. However, fake nails didn’t satisfy the gentle scratching my kids & pets loved.

Thanks so much for your videos. I like the fact they are not to sell products that Google Youtube is so good as fostering.

BTW.. for those out there struggling due to the door you came to life through... keep striving. Stardust is what you are really made from and Father time & Mother nature are your true parents. Trust in their love and all will be ok

Yep, I can atest to this wholeheartedly - START painting your nails and doing nail art. Even if your nails are ragged. It completely stopped me (and I haven't since) from biting my nails.

Even if it's simple nail art, like dots or distressed nails (anybody can do it :)) Or you are so right with that tip, paint them!

I went from bloody, painful nubs to at this very moment long, natural almond nails that grow so quickly it annoys me because I keep having to shape the almonds.
They're currently mustard & olive stamped with Cheshire Cat grins.

Hope it inspires somebody to stop biting = there is hope!

I still put my nails in my mouth sometimes but I've stopped biting them. I think it was a combination of being disgusted when I bit them all the way down, seeing people with nice long nails and sheer force of will to get me to stop biting mine. Now I use nail art to keep it that way

I used to be a nail biter yeeeaaars ago. I actually stopped biting my nails one at a time; so the first week I just stopped biting my pinkie nail, the second week my ring finger etc.

Putting on a base, color, and then a new topcoat layer everyday not only encourages you to stop biting but makes the surface of the nail edge thicker and harder to bite. Also a transference of a cuticle oil routine (with JOJOBA. very important it helps bind the keratin in your nails!). You need to add to cuticle oil to your nails 3 or more times a day, as it not only gives you a new habit, it is also a healthier one and it grows your nails!Also, if you bite because your nails peel, tear. or split then I suggest wearing gloves (like neoprene or nitrile throw away gloves), whenever you put your hands in water to clean/ The reason this works is because water causes your nails to split, peel, and tear, as it separates the layers of keratin.

I'm a terrible nail biter, off and on. I've tried acrylics, gels, glue ons from the drugstore, nail polish, ect. What helps me the most is pictures of long healthy nails on google! It reminds me that I want healthy strong nails and the only way to do that is to stop biting. And I actually stopped today (so far)

Learn to knit and crochet rather than bite your nails. I used that to stop smoking and it was *amazing*!
