The only way to stop that ugly nail biting habit is to just have to some strong will power or you can always go to a nail salon and get a nice manicure or artificial nails set for around $25. Others have claimed that getting hypnotized works just as well.

Start by limiting your biting to only one or two fingers on each hand and your thumbs until eventually you are only biting your thumbs, this should help you give up gradually, it worked for me. Try using nail polish on the nails you are not biting to help deter you from biting them.

Quitting any habit can be hard and certainly requires will-power. There isn't any instant sure fire way to stop doing something, especially if you have been doing it for 25 years! Remind yourself of why you want to quit every time you find yourself biting your nails. Or try something more extreme like shock therapy.

The first step is keep your nails clipped until there is no excess "white" part on your nails. Having nothing to bite off, not nail biting becomes a habit instead
