Fake nails are a good idea, but those come off.\n\nI've tried getting a manicure...if they look pretty you'll be less likely to ruin them...espeically if you paid for it.\n\nHowever, biting your nails is evidence of a deeper problem.  It may be your response to stress or anxiety, so attack that source, simplify your life, and don't think about biting your nails.\n\nI used to do it too...i asked my boyfriend to tell me when i'm doing it whenever he was with me and i would look at where i was and what i was doing when i got the urge.  MOst of the time it was stress or boredom.\n\nRemember, idle hands are the devil's tools, so make sure you're doing something constructive with your hands!  :)  GOod luck!

You need to take nail scissors and cut the side of the nail that's embedded and pull it out of the skin.\n\nThen you need a several times a day regimen of using hydrogen peroxide on it.. followed by neosporin.. and a bandaid.  \n\nSoaking in salt water (epsom preferably) will also help.  \n\nIn all honesty.. you may need to go to the doctor.\n\nHere's a good article:\n\nhttp://www.footphysicians.com/footankleinfo/ingrown-toenail.htm

I agree w/ the first answer. Also, if your nails are THAT brittle, you should consider taking a multi-vitamin. I use BC too, and something that minor should not be damaging your nail. Try it, see if it helps. If you don't like vitamins,try "Emergen-C", the little packets you mix into water. My nails grew like crazy after a month of that 2x a day.

Try looking for clear nail polish that gives your nails calcium and strength. A careful diet also helps to strengthen your nails. Maybe even get pedicures. It may help!

Usually this is a genetic trait and I am sorry to say that there is absolutely nothing that you can do. I have the same problem and I have tried everything to correct and straighten it, but nothing has worked. If it really bothers you, you may just have to keep your nails short or perhaps get nail extensions.

This happens to lots of people.  I am speaking from personal experience.  What I found finally worked (after several years) is that I focused on what I ate.  So I eat reasonably and healthy.  Jello is supposed to have some stuff in it that is good for nails, by the way.\n\nSecond, I started to exercise every single day.  So now I walk, sometimes run and ride a bike.  Doing something physical is important.\n\nSomething else I changed, I did clip my nails regularly, even the one that had changed to the dark almost ugly color.\n\nWhat happened is the old toe nail finally dropped off with a new one under that was nice and clear.\n\nI had tried those things they advertise on TV, and even went to a doctor, but none of that did anything for me.

Try another habbit! I'm not kidding. It works!\nI used to have this habbit of blinking my eyes frequently. There are times when people came up to me and voices out. Its pretty embarrassing! So I started to try on another habbit! Toes curling! It works.  And later on i managed to stopped all these habbits. Or wait a minute.... \nDo you remember how you started to bite your finger nails? Just figured this out... if you could start the habit and of course you can forget and stopped it if not to undo it! Just think of your beautifull and healty nails before you started to bite them of. Think that your nails is  your most prized possessions..... where you don't even dare to hurt  it what more of to bite it as in hurting it! \nWell...Okay all the best and good luck luck to you!!!

continue to do things with your hands. i had the same problem. I will always paint my nails and have lotion on my hand witch can make them taste bad too. I will do things like scrapbook or do in home projects to keep my hands busy.

Use emery board to file down middle of nail to take pressure off sides. Soak in hot salt water. If you can,\ntry to put a tiny bit of cotton under that corner-with nail file carefully! little bit of red is not infected-If you do this today you can save Dr.bill! Soak-Cotton under nail will help a lot. All of this will!

Assuming you are not joking. Try soaking your hand in acetone based nail polish remover. Soaking in warm water also helps to break the bond, as your skin softens

Eat jello, or some other form of gelatine.  I know it sounds silly, but it really improves your nails and hair, and helps your joints too.  Give it enough time for your nails to grow out, though, before you will see any results; it won't improve what is already there, but will help them grow stronger while you eat it.

the reson why you do is because you must be nervus about somthing and i only know three ways to stop,one way is to think you dont have nails, the second way is dont look/ put them by your face, and the third way is tape over your fingers \nand you can chew them.
