Use a coin or a rubber band so that they stay busy while you are watching T.V or doing any other such activity where you have to sit with idle hands. You can play with a stress ball if you bite your nails due to anxiety!

Your brain will eventually forget about your habit since there will be a constant barrier between your hand and your mouth. Wearing gloves all the time may not seem that convenient, but this effective remedy can definitely work for you!

    This time I went to Chic Nail Bar. I got a new set. Which is when the nail tech removes the set of nails you currently have and cuts down you real nails because most likely they'll have grew out and be thin and brittle.

    3. Cut and file nails. Use nail clippers and trim your nails. Don't cut them too short, you should be able to see at least a little of the white tip still, all the way across. Using a nail file, file the nail and create a smooth and clean shape. Gently drag the file across the nail, rather than pushing it. Excessive force or sawing back and forth will weaken the nails and cause them to break. Pivot the hand with the file through each stroke to make a smooth curve rather than angles. Do not file them too short: just clean up any points or roughness left by the clippers.…
