I Bite My Nails A Little Too Much!?

Question

I have had the same habit of biting my nails every since I was little. But now that I'm getting older and in the Acting Business I have been prohibited from biting my nails and if I proceed to do so I will be kicked out of the industry. Sounds silly huh, but it's just so hard to stop. It's like a hardcore smoker being pulled away from their cigarettes so quickly. It's suppose to take time and temptation is not helping one bit. I have tried all the nail pollish and I have tried just stopping. But nothing seems to work. Does anyone know any secrets to stopping before my career as a upcoming teen Disney channel star goes plunging into the toilet?

Answer 1

Ugh my boyfriend bites his nails all the time.

I'm just gonna tell you right now...you can get sick by biting your nails and the amount of germs is actually so repulsive. Also, if you bite them too much they end up looking really weird.

Answer 2

Go have your nails done with acrylic.....it looks great and you cant bite through the acrylic...thats what I do

By the time the acrylic comes off your real nails will have grown some and you will be used to not biting them anymore

If that doesnt work or you need more time just go and have them refilled with acrylic in once they've grown out

You usually need to have them refilled about every 2-3 weeks depending on how fast your nails grow

Answer 3

Wear gloves all the time. You could start a fashion trend.

Answer 4

you can try putting tape around your fingers, that way whenever you try to bite, you are reminded that you are not supposed to do that.  Or, it might seem a lil harsh but you can try putting some really hot sauce on your fingers also.
