Just tell her it's annoying when she does that and that it's a nasty habit.  Tell her she's getting all kinds of bacteria from her feet into her mouth.

Hello my fellow nail biter! \n\nFrom one nail biter to the other let me just say I feel your frustration :P But recently I found that haven't been biting my nails as much, which is an extreme improvment for me. What I did was I just didn't do it, I said to myself I'm not going to bite anymore and everytime my nails came to my mouth I was conscious of it and I just pulled them away. An excellent thing to do is to occupy yourself with something else, take up another hobby and it'll replace your nail biting...I thought it was ridiculous but it actually works. It doesn't come quickly though, it takes a bit of time. Just be patient and one day you'll look at your nails and go all wide eyed and just go "OMG THEY ACTUALLY DO GROW!!" :P Gewd luck!

Paint them or get fake nails, until your real ones grow out and you will lose the habit. It took me three years of fake nails, but I now have my own long nails that I have noo urge to bite!!

Confronting her will do no good. If she is so eccentric that she bites people, at this age, it is probably part of a disorder she's had her entire life, and nothing you say to her will impact her behavior.\n\nJust keep on your toes (without looking like you're doing so!!) whenever she's around, and jump gracefully away if she dives at you with an open mouth. \n\nWhenever you need to communicate with her, just treat her sociably, like you would with any regular person. Be polite, nod and listen to what she says- and she may even say some very interesting things and lead you into a fascinating conversation- and use normal socially acceptable excuses to get away, such as, "It's been lovely talking to you, but I really must go finish my report, I'm already late."\n\nWhatever you do, do not indicate that you are afraid. They can sense your fear.

Next time you have to make a call walk into her salon and sit in the waiting room and have a very loud conversation.  This will definetely get across the message that you are a pansy and too afraid to simply mention to someone that their behavior bothers you.  Grow some stones and go tell her.  SHe probably doesn't realize it bothers you wuss.

your idea is totally genius! I always say... kill them with kindness! It will annoy her that you are being really nice to her, and when she realizes that you aren't upset when she's rude to you, she'll get bored and start to ignore you. Most likely she'll entirely move on to someone else (to annoy) good luck! This method has worked for me MANY MAnY times!

Is it your friend? Keep asking her why she's mad.\n\nIs it just 'some girl'? Forget about her. :/

You know its not true ignore her. I've been there and he told her that as long as she lived she could never walk in my shoes. Just be calm. Ignore her . Her mouth will be her undoing eventually. You get agitated and she wins.

tell her how nasty it is. then set up a plan with her and reward her if she follows through with it.  :)  my bf used to chew and i told him i would not kiss him if i saw him do it.  he stopped.

There is something you can buy to stop you biting your nails, it is a bit like nail varnish but not quite, it tastes absolutely disgusting so you stop biting. As for picking scabs, will power. Say something like, right if i don't pick them for a week i'll buy something like a CD or something like that. incentives usually do the trick.

its probably caused by scar tissue on the nail bed.You are stuck with it. just file it down if it bothers you.

Maybe having gel or acrylic nails put on isn't the best idea. What about taking her to a nail salon and having them painted or having a french manicure done on her natural nails? Maybe the thought of having a pretty, professional nail-painting job done will deter her from wanting to bite them. \n\nOr, if she does have fake nails put on, maybe having them done really short.. like a sporty style, wouldn't be a bad idea. Keep in mind that it's an expensive habit to keep up with. Having acrylic nails put on can cost up to $30 or $40 and it ruins the natural nails, makes them a yellowish color and very thin and easy to break.

Break the Habit\n\nBy isolating why you are biting your nails — and then briefly monitoring yourself under the same conditions — you will be able to stop your hands from automatically going to your mouth at certain times. If willpower isn’t enough, consider some of the following remedies and aids: \n\nPut a formula on your nails. There are several foul-tasting formulas on the market aimed at making your nails taste awful enough to turn you off of biting them — or at least alert you to when you do it unconsciously. Try CONTROL-IT! from stopbitingnails.com or MAVALA Stop. Be sure to apply the product regularly, so that the taste remains strong.\n\nKeep your hands busy. Idle hands will only serve to fuel your habit, so keep them busy. If you've found that you bite your nails when you are on the telephone, keep a pad of paper by the phone and doodle with a pen instead. Or get a desktop basketball game to keep your hands busy. We found one at http://www.exclusivegifts.com/html/executive_toys.htm. \n\nIf you bite your nails when you’re tense, consider adding a "stress ball" that you squeeze to your collection of desk toys and play with that instead. Or try Process Putty®, available from QPC Inc. The key is to do anything that keeps your hands busy and out of your mouth.\n\nChew gum or mints. If you are already chewing something else, you’ll be less likely to chew your nails (nail bits and chewing gum — eeew, bad combo). Keep gum or mints with you at all times, and when you find your hands going to your mouth, pop in a stick of gum or a mint instead.\n\nUse nail clippers. Nail biters are always tempted to bite off a sharp edge on a nail or a nail that is a little longer than the others. Keep nail clippers with you and use those instead. \n\nTry meditative cassettes. If all else fails, there are several meditative cassette tapes on the market that claim a high success rate in combating nail biting habits. Try Overcoming Fingernail Biting from Mind Over Matter or Stop Biting Nails from Talk Unlimited.

I gotta ask...why the hell did she bite you? Anyway, she sounds like she's leading you on or doesn't want to go public with the relationship. Be careful...sounds like you're headed for a fall.
