    You can get polish that tastes bad, specifically to deter biting your nails.

    You can also try uaing clear polish to practice and let your nails grow.

    Change your habitual biting to something else, like a stim toy could be used when you feel like biting your nails…

        I used to be a biter, but I use clear polish a lot… but now I mix in holo glitter clear polish from time to time… I have long nails now though.

        If you can stop habitually biting them and are conscious of doing it switching to even manicuring your nails or taking more care of them, using a file and such it helps a lot… use nail clippers if you have to cut them down again etc.

      Oh yeah I was gonna suggest the bitter clear polish too, then it helps you be more conscious of biting your nails as a habit. Cause you taste it even if you’re doing it as an idle habit

        Yeah there are a few products for it, even bad tasting normal polish iirc.

        Funnily enough I have stopped biting mine completely since growing them long, I got out of the habit of doing it.
