The only way I could stop biting my nails is when they were PERFECT literally no ridges no cuticles no dead skin. I bite them bc I thought they’re already ugly so who cares😭
I’ve been biting my nails for as long as I can remember. I’m tired of being embarrassed about my hands and it’s literally gross. Thank you for sharing!
Hey, don’t worry it’s very common, I used to do it as-well. I would hide may hands behind my back and be super insecure. It’s super hard to quit, half the time I didn’t realise I was doing it. It’s not going to be easy, it took me almost 3 months to stop. Still I pick at my nails, but I’m getting better. I hope you end up stopping and reaching ur goal but remember it’s very common :)
@@Amelia-es8vr thank you so much sometimes when I’m extremely anxious or have and anxiety attack I would bite them then if there was no nail to bite I would bite my skin around and it would get really bad but Im bitting the skin less already so thats an improvement 🥰
A tip to everyone who is trying to stop biting their nails: Always have some gum in your bag so when you feel the need to bite your nails just chew some gum :)
I’m on Day 11. I am 44 years old , been biting since age 6!! And this is the first time in my life I’ve actually been able to stop this long (aside from when they were covered w gel overlays and I never kicked the habit then) I have seen over a dozen of these videos and one tip, probably the biggest help for me, was to identify the precursor to biting. Most people have a ritual they do right before they are going to bite- it could be touching your nails with your fingers, inspecting them very closely, or pick/ biting at cuticles/ skin on sides of nail. Once you’ve identified your ritual, stop yourself right then. Don’t let yourself do the ritual. Do NOT let yourself bite a hangnail or skin- every trim , or adjustment must be done with a cuticle nipper , a file or a nail clipper. No exceptions. I’ve also been keeping a note of every time I get the urge to bite , instead of continuing the ritual I write down how I feel, where I am and what time of day. I also use a nail strengthener and cuticle oil.
Ok. If one of you likes this in a month I will come back to it and update how its going so far!! edit: ok so it worked very well- but i had a few days where i was going through a lot and bit them, but so far my nails look so much healthier!
I always bite my nails when I’m watching tv, using my phone or when I’m bored. I don’t usually ever bite my nails out of nervousness. I only realized I’ve bit my nails after I’ve already done it :( I’ve been chewing gum and eating *a lot* of snacks but it’s just not helping because I’ll just end up biting my nails again. Can someone give me some tips?
im the only one who bites my nails in me family and my goal for 2020 is to stop. my nails are at the point is where your nails were if not worse and your video helped me. UPDATE: ive stopped now and it was really difficult for the first month but it got easier from there !!!
Hey! 😊 even my 2020 resolution is the same. I just couldnt stop biting my nails and when I see my friends with beautiful long nails I feel very bad for my smol nails 😂 I hope you and I succeed in our resolution. Good luck! 😁
I bite my nails when I’m.. bored? It’s pretty much my equivalent to fidgeting. I find using alternative things to fidget with to distract me well enough to stop me from biting my nails works best. Chewing gum was a good one, having a small item in my pocket or just to hold on to and mess with worked just as well too. I had to force myself to get distracted by other things and not bite my nails, but after a while I just dropped out of the habit of biting them. Hope this helped, though it wasn’t really much for tips..
I want to buy fake nails so I can't get to my nail and it'll grow but my mom thinks it's a waste of money, it'll damage my nails and I'm too young. I've tried everything else and now I'm stuck with biting them.
I spent the entire summer getting set after set. But my nail bed were so short they fell off quickly,so I spent hella money getting fills and new sets literally every 1-2weeks😅 once I got the acrylics off my nails were Dead! They were yellow and flimsy so I cut them off and was back to square one.. that’s my experience 😂
I have always found that I buy my nails when I’m either stressed when my hands arent occupied. I always keep a coin or some sort of fidget toy or some app on my phone by me and said that whenever I’m bored I can play with that stead of chewing on my nails. I’m currently going 1 month And I’m very proud of myself
Yes! Something that also helped me was chewing gum! Not for everyone of course, but it kept my mouth busy and I didn’t think about biting my nails even if I was anxious!
I came here 2 months ago having an almost the same state of nails as you did before due to nail biting. Now, I can see my progress because I rarely had the urge to bite my nails than before and it grew longer and nice. Thank you so much for your tips!
I WANT NICE NAILS TOO. I’ll keep you guys updated in 1 month So I officially stopped biting my nails for good. They look way more healthier edit 2- it’s been 5 months later and i have grown out my nails every month, they’re really long and look so much healthier edit 3: 6 months later from my last edit and it’s still going well! i can’t even remember the last time i bit my nails
GIRL ARE WE THE SAME PERSON?!!! I relate so heavily to everything you’re saying. The planning, the stress, the adhd, the nails ... so glad I came across this video
When my dad my young , he told me, he used to bite his nails too, I bite my nails a lot especially when there’s a lot of people around or I’m taking a test or simply when I’m bored, I’m trying to grow them since I feel very insecure about them, thanks for making this video it really helps🥰
I feel you, I have social anxiety so whenever I'm in any social situation I have the urge to distract myself with biting my nails. I still struggle with it but I am getting better, and so will you. Take it one step at a time love, you can do it. 💞
I'll be honest right now, I am so happy you are so open about it! A lot of my women friends would flip the hell out if they see someone with poor nail hygenie!
I bite my nails since I was 4/5 years old (now I’m 16) and my main goal for 2020 is to stop. My nails look like yours used to look like(if not worse) and I’m just tired of being embarrassed by them. It’s been 13 days since I stopped and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, hopefully I’ll make it and have beautiful nails by the end of the year
You are not the only one im now 10 and i was 6 when mine started in disgusted with my nails and im still so sad about it i just want to stop but i cant
I really want to know if the pink part of your finger nails grow? Cause mine are so small and oval and some are wide if that makes sense Please I need to know 🙏🙏cause I see all these girls having long nails ( the pink part ) but almost all of them are old I mean 20 or so (I'm 16) so thought maybe my nails will grow up
my mom: alright, when we get out of the store, don’t touch ur face until we get some hand sanitizer me: okay literally 2 seconds later: *has whole hand in mouth*
The reason why I stopped biting my nails was because I found out that nails carry more germs than a school chair- basically it damages your teeth and you can get really sick since you can get dirt under there.
I mean this as the best compliment possible, this video was a lot more helpful than I thought it would be. Thank you for this, so many videos are just like "just stop biting them" but this was like, actual actionable things I can do. thank you for making this!
I used to be a massive nail bitter to the point where most of my nails would bleed alot but when u stop bitting them it feels so nice cause u get to paint them and feel cute asf when your being sassy and that even though its a small thing am proud of myself when i stopped
I didn’t even know my addiction til I watched this video. I’ve tried to stop so many times but it’s hard. I would get acrylics to let my nails grow but that never works because I bite the acrylics off.. then bite the growth of my own nails off too. I can’t go a day without biting them. Sad to say.. I’m ashamed of my finger nails and how they look but it’s true. Btw this video really helped and inspired me ♡︎
How's it going? I also don't think I could do acrylics because I play violin and that requires shorter nails. My goal is to get to the point where I actually have to trim them in order to play if that makes sense
QUARANTINE NAIL GLOW UP : Day 1: i have pushed my cuticles and will apply cuticle oil as often as possible. Have not bitten my nails since this morning. Day 2: bit two nails fml I’ll keep y’all updated
This is the best video I have ever watched about nail biting. Thank you so much, you have helped me so much! I still struggle with biting my nails, but your tips help me to get back on track. Love from Germany ❤
thanks for making this, yes its like a perfectionist ocd trait i think and yeah it comes with stress and being unorganised. Also boredom, I also think people who don't have this habit don't seem to get how psychologically deep this habit is and it isn't easy just to stop, even if you think of the grossness, i am currently using a nails inc restorative nail polish to see if that works, but thanks for sharing and the 3 week thing is a good idea!! ::) x
I’ve been biting my nails for as long as I can remember, at the moment I’ve been stressing a lot and I’ve completely ripped off all of the skin around my nails and my fingers are in so much pain, I need so much help. I’ve not started the video yet- I hope this video helps, I have tried to stop so many times and nothing works. Wish me luck!
I know that feeling because that is exactly how I used to be too. You can break the habit trust me, just follow these steps and I know you can do it!! 💛

All of my friends and have really long nails and there's a girl in my class who literally has hands that would remind you of a model…Meanwhile there was me, so embarrassed that I would always have to hide my hands. Ok my nails were not the shortest, but I could always feel like there was a lot of improvement that could do, iykyk. Once I decided to let them grow but they were really thin and fragile, so they break easily and whenever I let them grow one of them broke, I absolutely hated when my nails were uneven so I had to cut every nail because of that one broken nail!☹ I thought that it was just impossible to stop biting my nails, since it has become a habit. But then I remembered that my mom already told me I was literally born with long and perfectly shaped nails ( some nurses and adults were even jealous 😂😂) so I thought, it was a gift from God, and not everyone was given that opportunity since birth. So, I told myself that it was completely stupid and unreasonable to ruin it. Last time I played basketball I broke my nail, I thought *ok I’m so over this, my nails just wont stop breaking, I’m done wasting my time on this uselessness* then I went inside and before I decided to cut all of my nails again I felt extremely bad because this time they were actually longer than the every other time, they also lasted longer without breaking. I thought my only chance to not have to cut all of them was to fix my nail so I searched on RUclips *How to fix a broken nail* and I did what the video said, after seeing the results I thought *how the heck did I never think of doing this instead of cutting my nails?!* This really gave me hope when I was hopeless!! Rn I’m on one month of letting my nails grow, I won’t even lie, I’m so surprised but proud of myself!😂 But anyways, *If @Ellie Cardenas and I could do it then so can you!* 😊 Btw, pls wish me luck I’m trying to surpass the girl in my class with the super long nails 😂😂
@@okwhyareyoureadingthis4587 wow this comment is a year old hahaha, but after so long, it finally payed off. I may have not surpassed the girl with the long nails but my nails are pretty long and way healthier, so I'll say it was a success😂
Thank you so much. I seen your video before i think i have commented on another acc, my nails where so ugly, now they grew THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENCOURAGING ME!!
I’m a huge procrastinator. After watching your video, I decided to start planning and put on hand cream. Like you said, the urge do went away but I’ve always looked at them just to admire how long my nails got. Thank you! ❤️
Congratulations for sticking to your commitment to yourself to stop biting your nails and create beautiful hands that you can feel proud of each time you look down at them. Bravo!
What a transformation, young lady. Now your hands and nails match the beauty of your face. Nail biting is NOT an easy habit to break so kudos to you on your success. It's amazing how much having nice nails (after years and years of biting them) can affect your self confidence and self esteem. Wishing you continued success on your journey.
In that month of not biting your nails, how long did they grow? And when did you start to see changes? I’m currently on day2/3 of not biting my nails, it’s hard but I haven’t bitten them at all. Every time my fingers go near my nails, I quickly put them down. Did your nail beds grow long ?
This video was super inspiring, I always thought my nails would still look weird once I grew them out but seeing how beautiful your hands are now really helps! Thanks so much!!
Holy crap your old fingers look exactly like my current nails. I have been trying so hard to quit this habit for months now but have failed miserably with every attempt. I’m gonna try these out and I’m really praying that it works. Thank you for this video! Wish me luck!
Your story sums me up 110% I was going strong for 4 months and gave in (stress triggered me). But I'm back on track now, going one month. Thanks for your video, it's not an easy thing to show the world. ❤ and to anyone reading this: there is light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up! YOU CAN DO IT
I’ve bit my nails so long and I think I’m starting to finally break the habit. I haven’t bit them for about a week now but I think it’s too soon to tell. I’m the only one in my family that does it and in your before pics of your nails that’s pretty much what my nails look like except I haven’t bit them this week so their a bit longer. This video inspired me a lot this past week!⭐️
I'm glad i'm not alone. i've been doing this for as long as i can remember and i get very insecure about this. so i'm glad to see that it can actually be done! thanks for the tips
When I actually remember to stop buying my nails, having a nail file easily accessible in each room of the house REALLY helps so I can just run to open a drawer and smooth my nails out with the file instead of making it even more uneven by biting it (and continuing the viscous cycle 🙄)
These are such great tips. I used to bite my nails too and had really short stubby nails. I grew out my nails for a bit and then I got acrylic nails. I have had them for a few months and my nails have never been longer. I definitely recommend acrylics for anyone wanting to stop :) It is not damaging to your nails if done properly
I've been biting my nails for as long as I can remember and I'm really trying to stop. I've been on and off for the past two to three weeks. What really discourages me is that my nails break so fast. So, right when they grow long, they just break off and then I get sad. How do I stop this? Also, another thing that is helping me stop biting my nails as much as I used to is that my mom said she would take me to get my nails done if I completely stopped (and I'm so excited!). Today is Day 1 of doing everything it takes to stop my habit! Imma keep doing updates everyday to keep me determined. Wish me luck! Day 2: I felt tempted but I remembered this and knew that i couldn't Day 3: Going strong... School was shut down (bc of covid-19) so it should be pretty easy from here on Day 4: Yay! I did it! I wish I had some vitamin E oil so i can get those little thingies off my skin Day 5: I bit the thingy... I'm so saddd...Gotta keep going tho. Wish me luck! Day 6: I bit another thingy... I really need to stop. I am trying my absolute hardest and only bit a little bit. AAAHH! Day 7: Sooo... I stopped this chain for a bit and started focusing on other things. I noticed that when I stopped thinking about my nails and this commenting thingy, it made me stop wanting to bite my nails. To conclude, I did this chain thingy for a week and it helped in the beginning. Then, throughout the week, the more I kept thinking about keeping this comment chain going, the more it stressed me out and I started biting my nails and the skin around them. I've decided to stop editing this comment and start focusing on other things. This video really helped me and I want to thank you so so so much. (If you read this whole comment, thank you too!)
If your nails are thin and breaking you can try nail hardeners. It's like nail polish. If your nails are thin or thick don't buff them this makes them weak. If you keeps using a nail hardener for months your nails could start to snap off so only use it temporarily. I hope you can stop :)
Anika Gupta If you don’t have vitamin E oil use any other oil (except cooking oil). I use hair oils that contains vitamin E and it really works. Last year when I was about to get my nails done I stopped biting for a bit so I wouldn’t be so embarrassed and I used lip oil😂 my nails grew even from that. Any oil that contains vitamin E works. Most hair oils work
I am biting my nails for like 10 years. 2 years ago I decided to stop, but I always failed because of stress, anxious, when I was bored or when I didn't know something in exam in school. I also found out, that i bite them whenever the nails were overflowing (idk whats the word, I can't speak english very well). So I will try it again, because I know, that I can do it. So thank you for your tips. ❤️
You have actually given me hope to stop biting my nails lol. I have ADHD and I go through a lot of stress and anxiety. I watched this video and got a planner and holy moly this helped soooo much! I have tried so many things from the lemon with water and baking soda,etc. to putting nail caps on my fingers. none of them worked!!! Something that helped me is that, well I kinda got traumatized💀. My mom got an infection from biting her nails and the skin around and it looked so painful so I became more cautious. I have been biting my nails since a toddler. I’m doing a lot better now thanks to this video. They still aren’t that “long” but I’m slowly getting there :)
Hello seen your comment and wanted to know if you've tried this yet with your nails? If so have you seen results? I want to try this because my nail bed is so short its terrible and I'm in my 30's :( Let me know please and thank you
@@NotofThisWorld1111 I did try them. They were very very helpful. I got out of the habit and my nails are suffering for it. I love the rejuvacote polish. It's great! Thanks for the reminder that I should get back into the habit of taking care of my nails. 😀 good luck with yours!
Congratulations !! I also just stopped after 20 years of biting and they looked very similar to yours, I know how hard it can be! Your nails look amazing you should be so proud
Going on week 5 of no biting after biting my whole life. Only have the urge when they're soft after being wet with that being said I bit one tonight and I feel like crap for doing since I've come so far. Keeping a nail file nearby is another great tip I too cant stand frilly skin or hang nails. My nails are at their longest mark so far.
Cayla Jeffries Yay good for you!! I’m so proud of you for overcoming it. Don’t beat yourself up for biting one, look how far you’ve come. Keep doing what you’re doing girl you got this love! ❤️☺️
For me I did two things. 1. Chewing gum, it redirected my nervous energy. 2. Every time I wanted to bite my nails I oiled them and cuticles. That also redirected my nervous energy to a new habit.
All the comments say they’ve stopped biting their nails due to the coronavirus, I’ve been the complete opposite. I stopped for about 4 years after an awful acrylic experience and from then on got gel nails which they grew naturally and healthily and I kept them nice and pretty. Now we’re in our third lockdown which has been going on for 5 months now with no true end in sight I’m finding it impossible to keep my anxieties at bay and of course without being able to go to a salon I have taken it out on my hands. I’m gonna order some vitamin e nail oil and a nail strengthener and see if a bit of self care helps. Thank you for sharing
I have been a nail biter my whole life, everyday, every time I was stressed i would bite them and all the skin around! I bought a similar product & It’s been a couple of weeks and I’m so impressed with myself, not a big deal to people but it is to me!! I still fiddle with them and sometimes pick the nail polish off but that’s as far as I go. Then repaint them with the stuff before I have the urge to bite them!! Determined to keep going!!
My whole life I have bit my nails and I stoped and then I started again. I have never had a reason for biting my nails I would look at my nails and if there was something to bite I would! I’m not trying to stop again.
i don't bite my nails in public, i only do it when i'm alone, and I usually do it when I'm reading or watching something, so maybe i should get something to fidget on. I also get anxious when i need to socialize. (but like i said I don't bite my nails in public) so i just chip my nails using my fingers.
Even I used to bite my nails , in third grade my teacher once slapped me in front of whole class for biting nails , I stopped but then again I started it 😢....but now I'm controlling myself a lot , wearing gloves whenever I felt the urge to bite my nails , applying bitter taste polish ...all of these and I'm happy that its been 3 strong months I didn't bite my nails ...so happy😍😍😍😍 Wish me luck ..that I can continue this 😍😊😀😍
Sweety, I watched your video awhile back and bought exactly what you recommended and it worked! Not at first, but I kept rubbing the vitamin E oil in my nails every time I got fidgety. I honestly think , in my case, it ws the dry feeling of my nails that made me take my teeth to them. My nails are so pretty now, even their shape looks healthier. Thank you so much for this idea
I stopped biting my nails back in 2020 but then I started biting them again and I’m back to square one now 😭 I’ll stop biting it from today and keep updating here. Maybe it’ll help. Wish me luck!
I’m doing this for my girlll!!! I end up biting my nails so much when I get anxious or when I happen to see them getting long while using anything with my hands, and I don’t usually notice, but I really just wanna look nice in every way for my girl, so this is where I’m at now 😽
Thank you so much Ellie I am about to start doing everything you said ! I’ve gotten better with not biting my nails as much but I just really wanna stop completely! So hopefully this works!! & also you are gorgeous girl 🥰
The way I stoped was I started to paint them in these designs that would take a long time to do. I then would not bite them because I didn’t want to mess up the designs. Then I wanted my nails to look better when they were painted so I started to LET THEM GROW. Now sometimes I bite them but u can’t tell because they are to long to show. But I have been trying to completely stop it for good lately.
I’ve been biting my nails since I was a toddler and since corona I’ve been trying to stop because why you bite your nails your swallowing dirt, Bactria, and a whole bunch of germs and I’m not trying to get sick. Plus my mom said if I grow my nails out she will get me acrylics so it’s a win win
Your video inspired me so greatly to stop biting my nails, as mine were just as extreme and I’d been doing it for over 15 years. It was so painful! I watched this video about 6 ish months ago and it took work, but I kicked the habit for good and now my nails look amazing! Thank you! ❤ Nail biters: Y’all CAN do it, my biggest tip is keep your nails cleaned up, keep nail growth polish on it at all times, and keep your cuticles moisturized. The habit is an OCD related habit, so if you don’t have any hang nails or “frillies” as she calls it lol, you’ll have way less of an urge. And building a habit of self awareness so you will catch yourself in the moment!
girl.... i used to have the addiction and habit of peeling my nails every time it grew out. i started my nail growth journey in 2019 and i also had never thought in a million years i'd be able to grow out my nails for good too! lol, miracles are real! LOL. I documented my experience and journey on my channel under "nail growth journey".
I bite my nails and cuticles, I have trichotillomania and OCD, I have borderline anxiety disorder, and ADD. My nail biting helps me cope, and I thought one day, "why do i consider this coping!?" and i actually went cold turkey and stopped. I have found more healthy ways to cope, and this video has helped a lot. Thanks!!!
I have been biting my nails for so long, at least 7 years... I've been trying for at least 3 years to stop, but whenever I don't have something bitter on my nails I end up biting and within a day they're all bitten now as far as possible. This really helped for motivation and ideas to help!! Thanks!!
I bite my nails when I'm sad, happy, anxious, nervous, bored, neutral, angry, etc.
Saaaameee
I bite mine just because it’s satisfying
It’s bc of my adhd
Dawson Carpenter me
Rossmar Caballero I do it when I’m bored
The only way I could stop biting my nails is when they were PERFECT literally no ridges no cuticles no dead skin. I bite them bc I thought they’re already ugly so who cares😭

That's also why I'm taking my vitamins

My nails are my biggest insecurity and I am trying to stop biting them but I can’t even with the bitter nail polish I would still eat them
Hey, don’t worry it’s very common, I used to do it as-well. I would hide may hands behind my back and be super insecure. It’s super hard to quit, half the time I didn’t realise I was doing it. It’s not going to be easy, it took me almost 3 months to stop. Still I pick at my nails, but I’m getting better. I hope you end up stopping and reaching ur goal but remember it’s very common :)
@@Amelia-es8vr thank you so much sometimes when I’m extremely anxious or have and anxiety attack I would bite them then if there was no nail to bite I would bite my skin around and it would get really bad but Im bitting the skin less already so thats an improvement 🥰

A tip to everyone who is trying to stop biting their nails:
Always have some gum in your bag so when you feel the need to bite your nails just chew some gum :)
I've recently been keeping icebreaker mints on me 24/7 and that helps!
It didn't help I tried it long time ....I'll eat my nails with gum inside😩

Kageyama 😏
People keep saying “let me see your nails“ so i just close my hands and cross my arms
Yeahhh exactly
I’m on Day 11. I am 44 years old , been biting since age 6!! And this is the first time in my life I’ve actually been able to stop this long (aside from when they were covered w gel overlays and I never kicked the habit then)
I have seen over a dozen of these videos and one tip, probably the biggest help for me, was to identify the precursor to biting. Most people have a ritual they do right before they are going to bite- it could be touching your nails with your fingers, inspecting them very closely, or pick/ biting at cuticles/ skin on sides of nail.
Once you’ve identified your ritual, stop yourself right then. Don’t let yourself do the ritual. Do NOT let yourself bite a hangnail or skin- every trim , or adjustment must be done with a cuticle nipper , a file or a nail clipper. No exceptions.
I’ve also been keeping a note of every time I get the urge to bite , instead of continuing the ritual I write down how I feel, where I am and what time of day.
I also use a nail strengthener and cuticle oil.
Hi, what nail strengthener and cuticle oil do you use?
Ok. If one of you likes this in a month I will come back to it and update how its going so far!!
edit: ok so it worked very well- but i had a few days where i was going through a lot and bit them, but so far my nails look so much healthier!
update? :)
Update??
I bite my nails cause stress, anxiety, boredom, and while I’m watching a movie 😬
Same, stress plays a big factor into nail biting I feel like.
Same 😬😓

I always bite my nails when I’m watching tv, using my phone or when I’m bored. I don’t usually ever bite my nails out of nervousness. I only realized I’ve bit my nails after I’ve already done it :( I’ve been chewing gum and eating *a lot* of snacks but it’s just not helping because I’ll just end up biting my nails again. Can someone give me some tips?
im the only one who bites my nails in me family and my goal for 2020 is to stop. my nails are at the point is where your nails were if not worse and your video helped me.
UPDATE:
ive stopped now and it was really difficult for the first month but it got easier from there !!!
you can do it 💛
Hey! 😊 even my 2020 resolution is the same. I just couldnt stop biting my nails and when I see my friends with beautiful long nails I feel very bad for my smol nails 😂 I hope you and I succeed in our resolution. Good luck! 😁
im the only one in my family who properly bites their nails and like i literally cant stop ahhh my goal is to stop this year but im struggling to stop
My resolution is the same!!
Indy Eastham I’m with you that’s my 2020 goal
One of the many reason i wanna stop is so that i can tap on glasses/different materials because it’s satisfying- 🗿
Same lol
I wanna tap on tables--😀

Omg sameeeeee. I also want long nails bc my parents won’t let me get acrylics
I bite my nails when I’m.. bored? It’s pretty much my equivalent to fidgeting. I find using alternative things to fidget with to distract me well enough to stop me from biting my nails works best. Chewing gum was a good one, having a small item in my pocket or just to hold on to and mess with worked just as well too. I had to force myself to get distracted by other things and not bite my nails, but after a while I just dropped out of the habit of biting them. Hope this helped, though it wasn’t really much for tips..
I’ve been biting my nails for 16 years one word “acrylics” that’s what made me stop
I want to buy fake nails so I can't get to my nail and it'll grow but my mom thinks it's a waste of money, it'll damage my nails and I'm too young. I've tried everything else and now I'm stuck with biting them.
I spent the entire summer getting set after set. But my nail bed were so short they fell off quickly,so I spent hella money getting fills and new sets literally every 1-2weeks😅 once I got the acrylics off my nails were Dead! They were yellow and flimsy so I cut them off and was back to square one.. that’s my experience 😂
I have acrylics but as soon as two fell off I started to bite them again and it makes me so angry because they got pretty long.
@@s0ftbby346 ME TOOOOO GRRRRR
@@tuamor5292 Sameee everything
I have always found that I buy my nails when I’m either stressed when my hands arent occupied. I always keep a coin or some sort of fidget toy or some app on my phone by me and said that whenever I’m bored I can play with that stead of chewing on my nails. I’m currently going 1 month And I’m very proud of myself
Yaas girl go you!! So proud of you, a month is a long time. I'm glad you were able to overcome it!! ❤️
Yes! Something that also helped me was chewing gum! Not for everyone of course, but it kept my mouth busy and I didn’t think about biting my nails even if I was anxious!
@@els_bells thanks you for the app
I love seeing all these updated comments of people wanting to stop and then coming back saying they successfully did ❤️😊 super awesome
I always tell myself “okay...I will stop biting them! I got this!!! (Later that day and looking at my nails) welp....I guess I don’t got this.
I say exact same thing to myself and then, in the middle of bitting my nails I'm like....FUCK!
Literally me🥲😥
i stopped biting my nails for a month, and they did grow pretty long
but then they got too long and i ripped them off-

Woah
Mine aren’t bad mine are like hers now but more ridged and sharp I stopped though
oml same!
I came here 2 months ago having an almost the same state of nails as you did before due to nail biting. Now, I can see my progress because I rarely had the urge to bite my nails than before and it grew longer and nice. Thank you so much for your tips!

I WANT NICE NAILS TOO. I’ll keep you guys updated in 1 month
So I officially stopped biting my nails for good. They look way more healthier
edit 2- it’s been 5 months later and i have grown out my nails every month, they’re really long and look so much healthier
edit 3: 6 months later from my last edit and it’s still going well! i can’t even remember the last time i bit my nails
Good luck!!!

After years of biting my nails I finally stopped and they've grown and it really feels amazing!
GIRL ARE WE THE SAME PERSON?!!! I relate so heavily to everything you’re saying. The planning, the stress, the adhd, the nails ... so glad I came across this video
Who's watching this while biting their nails??
Only me?
Okk
omg nooo 😂

Dude I am
When my dad my young , he told me, he used to bite his nails too, I bite my nails a lot especially when there’s a lot of people around or I’m taking a test or simply when I’m bored, I’m trying to grow them since I feel very insecure about them, thanks for making this video it really helps🥰
I feel you, I have social anxiety so whenever I'm in any social situation I have the urge to distract myself with biting my nails. I still struggle with it but I am getting better, and so will you. Take it one step at a time love, you can do it. 💞

I'll be honest right now, I am so happy you are so open about it! A lot of my women friends would flip the hell out if they see someone with poor nail hygenie!

I always said it was because i scrubbed the dishes too hard 🧍♀️
Lmao

I want to grow my nails out but I always find myself biting them and I’m getting into nail polish recently but I’ll come back and see how it goes :)
I used to bite my nails too & I started when I was 4. Seeing the progress of my nail growth & how pretty they looked pushed me to completely stop.
Yes I agree, seeing my nail growth at the beginning motivated me to keep going! 💛
I bite my nails since I was 4/5 years old (now I’m 16) and my main goal for 2020 is to stop. My nails look like yours used to look like(if not worse) and I’m just tired of being embarrassed by them. It’s been 13 days since I stopped and it’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, hopefully I’ll make it and have beautiful nails by the end of the year
omg I'm so proud of you girl, 13 days without biting your nails is an achievement on its own. You will stop, I believe in you! 💞
You are not the only one im now 10 and i was 6 when mine started in disgusted with my nails and im still so sad about it i just want to stop but i cant
Eduarda Gripp you can do it 💛💛💛💛
I really want to know if the pink part of your finger nails grow? Cause mine are so small and oval and some are wide if that makes sense
Please I need to know 🙏🙏cause I see all these girls having long nails ( the pink part ) but almost all of them are old I mean 20 or so (I'm 16) so thought maybe my nails will grow up
i started when i was like 4 or 5 too
Guys let's try to stop this together
my mom: alright, when we get out of the store, don’t touch ur face until we get some hand sanitizer
me: okay
literally 2 seconds later: *has whole hand in mouth*
The reason why I stopped biting my nails was because I found out that nails carry more germs than a school chair- basically it damages your teeth and you can get really sick since you can get dirt under there.
My nails are so short they can't have dirt in them😆
i saw images of infection caused by nail biting and i felt so disgusted that i literally stopped that day! never since and I'm 5 years strong
Same and since then I’ve stopped. I’m still beginning so I do get urges but then I just stop and do something else.
Me googling infections caused by nail biting so i can be scared straight.
UPDATE:: 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I dont wanna search it if it's that gross. From today, I will stop.
does the nailbed grow back? i have long nails
now but no nailbed under them so they get filled with dirt and they look gross :/
Just did this and I think I’m cured now 🥴🥴🥴
I mean this as the best compliment possible, this video was a lot more helpful than I thought it would be. Thank you for this, so many videos are just like "just stop biting them" but this was like, actual actionable things I can do. thank you for making this!
I used to be a massive nail bitter to the point where most of my nails would bleed alot but when u stop bitting them it feels so nice cause u get to paint them and feel cute asf when your being sassy and that even though its a small thing am proud of myself when i stopped
I didn’t even know my addiction til I watched this video. I’ve tried to stop so many times but it’s hard. I would get acrylics to let my nails grow but that never works because I bite the acrylics off.. then bite the growth of my own nails off too. I can’t go a day without biting them. Sad to say.. I’m ashamed of my finger nails and how they look but it’s true. Btw this video really helped and inspired me ♡︎
How's it going? I also don't think I could do acrylics because I play violin and that requires shorter nails. My goal is to get to the point where I actually have to trim them in order to play if that makes sense
QUARANTINE NAIL GLOW UP :
Day 1: i have pushed my cuticles and will apply cuticle oil as often as possible. Have not bitten my nails since this morning.
Day 2: bit two nails fml

Bestie, what happened
This is the best video I have ever watched about nail biting. Thank you so much, you have helped me so much! I still struggle with biting my nails, but your tips help me to get back on track. Love from Germany ❤
thanks for making this, yes its like a perfectionist ocd trait i think and yeah it comes with stress and being unorganised. Also boredom, I also think people who don't have this habit don't seem to get how psychologically deep this habit is and it isn't easy just to stop, even if you think of the grossness, i am currently using a nails inc restorative nail polish to see if that works, but thanks for sharing and the 3 week thing is a good idea!! ::) x
I’ve been biting my nails for as long as I can remember, at the moment I’ve been stressing a lot and I’ve completely ripped off all of the skin around my nails and my fingers are in so much pain, I need so much help. I’ve not started the video yet- I hope this video helps, I have tried to stop so many times and nothing works. Wish me luck!
I know that feeling because that is exactly how I used to be too. You can break the habit trust me, just follow these steps and I know you can do it!! 💛
It’s been 2 months, how are your nails?
I bite the skin around my nails off

All of my friends and have really long nails and there's a girl in my class who literally has hands that would remind you of a model…Meanwhile there was me, so embarrassed that I would always have to hide my hands. Ok my nails were not the shortest, but I could always feel like there was a lot of improvement that could do, iykyk. Once I decided to let them grow but they were really thin and fragile, so they break easily and whenever I let them grow one of them broke, I absolutely hated when my nails were uneven so I had to cut every nail because of that one broken nail!☹ I thought that it was just impossible to stop biting my nails, since it has become a habit. But then I remembered that my mom already told me I was literally born with long and perfectly shaped nails ( some nurses and adults were even jealous 😂😂) so I thought, it was a gift from God, and not everyone was given that opportunity since birth. So, I told myself that it was completely stupid and unreasonable to ruin it. Last time I played basketball I broke my nail, I thought *ok I’m so over this, my nails just wont stop breaking, I’m done wasting my time on this uselessness* then I went inside and before I decided to cut all of my nails again I felt extremely bad because this time they were actually longer than the every other time, they also lasted longer without breaking. I thought my only chance to not have to cut all of them was to fix my nail so I searched on RUclips *How to fix a broken nail* and I did what the video said, after seeing the results I thought *how the heck did I never think of doing this instead of cutting my nails?!* This really gave me hope when I was hopeless!!
Rn I’m on one month of letting my nails grow, I won’t even lie, I’m so surprised but proud of myself!😂
But anyways, *If @Ellie Cardenas and I could do it then so can you!* 😊
Btw, pls wish me luck I’m trying to surpass the girl in my class with the super long nails 😂😂
Update?
@@okwhyareyoureadingthis4587 wow this comment is a year old hahaha, but after so long, it finally payed off. I may have not surpassed the girl with the long nails but my nails are pretty long and way healthier, so I'll say it was a success😂

Thank you so much. I seen your video before i think i have commented on another acc, my nails where so ugly, now they grew THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ENCOURAGING ME!!
Wow not only you nails look good but your hair, eyes, nose teeth and everything else. Great job
I’m a huge procrastinator. After watching your video, I decided to start planning and put on hand cream. Like you said, the urge do went away but I’ve always looked at them just to admire how long my nails got. Thank you! ❤️
thank you so much for the advice. I find it really hard because I have extreme anxiety
crackhead girl i have bad anxiety too, trust me you can do it!! 💖
Congratulations for sticking to your commitment to yourself to stop biting your nails and create beautiful hands that you can feel proud of each time you look down at them. Bravo!
What a transformation, young lady. Now your hands and nails match the beauty of your face. Nail biting is NOT an easy habit to break so kudos to you on your success. It's amazing how much having nice nails (after years and years of biting them) can affect your self confidence and self esteem. Wishing you continued success on your journey.
Same girl same haven't bitten my nails in a month. I just decides to stop and it worked im so proud of myself !🥰
In that month of not biting your nails, how long did they grow? And when did you start to see changes? I’m currently on day2/3 of not biting my nails, it’s hard but I haven’t bitten them at all. Every time my fingers go near my nails, I quickly put them down. Did your nail beds grow long ?
@@mohaf3157 did you break the habit?
This video was super inspiring, I always thought my nails would still look weird once I grew them out but seeing how beautiful your hands are now really helps! Thanks so much!!
Exactly this!
Who else can't wear nail polish because they don't have nails?😢😭🤧
Holy crap your old fingers look exactly like my current nails. I have been trying so hard to quit this habit for months now but have failed miserably with every attempt. I’m gonna try these out and I’m really praying that it works. Thank you for this video! Wish me luck!
Your story sums me up 110% I was going strong for 4 months and gave in (stress triggered me). But I'm back on track now, going one month.
Thanks for your video, it's not an easy thing to show the world. ❤ and to anyone reading this: there is light at the end of the tunnel, don't give up! YOU CAN DO IT
I’ve bit my nails so long and I think I’m starting to finally break the habit. I haven’t bit them for about a week now but I think it’s too soon to tell. I’m the only one in my family that does it and in your before pics of your nails that’s pretty much what my nails look like except I haven’t bit them this week so their a bit longer. This video inspired me a lot this past week!⭐️
I'm glad i'm not alone. i've been doing this for as long as i can remember and i get very insecure about this. so i'm glad to see that it can actually be done! thanks for the tips
When I actually remember to stop buying my nails, having a nail file easily accessible in each room of the house REALLY helps so I can just run to open a drawer and smooth my nails out with the file instead of making it even more uneven by biting it (and continuing the viscous cycle 🙄)
This is so rellatable and so true
These are such great tips. I used to bite my nails too and had really short stubby nails. I grew out my nails for a bit and then I got acrylic nails. I have had them for a few months and my nails have never been longer. I definitely recommend acrylics for anyone wanting to stop :) It is not damaging to your nails if done properly
I've been biting my nails for as long as I can remember and I'm really trying to stop. I've been on and off for the past two to three weeks. What really discourages me is that my nails break so fast. So, right when they grow long, they just break off and then I get sad. How do I stop this? Also, another thing that is helping me stop biting my nails as much as I used to is that my mom said she would take me to get my nails done if I completely stopped (and I'm so excited!).
Today is Day 1 of doing everything it takes to stop my habit! Imma keep doing updates everyday to keep me determined. Wish me luck!
Day 2: I felt tempted but I remembered this and knew that i couldn't
Day 3: Going strong... School was shut down (bc of covid-19) so it should be pretty easy from here on
Day 4: Yay! I did it! I wish I had some vitamin E oil so i can get those little thingies off my skin
Day 5: I bit the thingy... I'm so saddd...Gotta keep going tho. Wish me luck!
Day 6: I bit another thingy... I really need to stop. I am trying my absolute hardest and only bit a little bit. AAAHH!
Day 7: Sooo... I stopped this chain for a bit and started focusing on other things. I noticed that when I stopped thinking about my nails and this commenting thingy, it made me stop wanting to bite my nails.
To conclude, I did this chain thingy for a week and it helped in the beginning. Then, throughout the week, the more I kept thinking about keeping this comment chain going, the more it stressed me out and I started biting my nails and the skin around them. I've decided to stop editing this comment and start focusing on other things. This video really helped me and I want to thank you so so so much.
(If you read this whole comment, thank you too!)
If your nails are thin and breaking you can try nail hardeners. It's like nail polish. If your nails are thin or thick don't buff them this makes them weak. If you keeps using a nail hardener for months your nails could start to snap off so only use it temporarily. I hope you can stop :)
@@lolagomez9018 thank you sm!!
Anika Gupta If you don’t have vitamin E oil use any other oil (except cooking oil). I use hair oils that contains vitamin E and it really works. Last year when I was about to get my nails done I stopped biting for a bit so I wouldn’t be so embarrassed and I used lip oil😂 my nails grew even from that. Any oil that contains vitamin E works. Most hair oils work
@@radwahussein669 thank you so much!!
@@anikagupta5948 maybe try nail cream. Its supposed to make your nails strong from breaking
Who is biting the nail while watching the video
i cant get over how pretty you are omggg
I am biting my nails for like 10 years. 2 years ago I decided to stop, but I always failed because of stress, anxious, when I was bored or when I didn't know something in exam in school. I also found out, that i bite them whenever the nails were overflowing (idk whats the word, I can't speak english very well).
So I will try it again, because I know, that I can do it. So thank you for your tips. ❤️
Yes you can do it! ❤️
Something about u! Ur so sweet and kind hearted 😍❤️
aw this is honestly such a good compliment to me, thank you so much love ❤️
You have actually given me hope to stop biting my nails lol. I have ADHD and I go through a lot of stress and anxiety. I watched this video and got a planner and holy moly this helped soooo much! I have tried so many things from the lemon with water and baking soda,etc. to putting nail caps on my fingers. none of them worked!!! Something that helped me is that, well I kinda got traumatized💀. My mom got an infection from biting her nails and the skin around and it looked so painful so I became more cautious. I have been biting my nails since a toddler. I’m doing a lot better now thanks to this video. They still aren’t that “long” but I’m slowly getting there :)
Wow, this is the best advice I've ever heard. I'm definitely trying these tips! Thanks Ellie! ❤️
Hello seen your comment and wanted to know if you've tried this yet with your nails? If so have you seen results? I want to try this because my nail bed is so short its terrible and I'm in my 30's :( Let me know please and thank you
@@NotofThisWorld1111 I did try them. They were very very helpful. I got out of the habit and my nails are suffering for it. I love the rejuvacote polish. It's great! Thanks for the reminder that I should get back into the habit of taking care of my nails. 😀 good luck with yours!
Congratulations !! I also just stopped after 20 years of biting and they looked very similar to yours, I know how hard it can be! Your nails look amazing you should be so proud
omg go us!! So proud of you too, it was definitely hard at first but that's always the hardest part 💞
Going on week 5 of no biting after biting my whole life. Only have the urge when they're soft after being wet with that being said I bit one tonight and I feel like crap for doing since I've come so far. Keeping a nail file nearby is another great tip I too cant stand frilly skin or hang nails. My nails are at their longest mark so far.
Cayla Jeffries Yay good for you!! I’m so proud of you for overcoming it. Don’t beat yourself up for biting one, look how far you’ve come. Keep doing what you’re doing girl you got this love! ❤️☺️
@@EllieCardenasThanks girl its definitely a journey!! You keep up your awesome work as well your nails look beautiful.!!
Try to put clear nail polish so that it won’t be soft and it also prevents nail splitting so that you won’t pick them.
For me I did two things. 1. Chewing gum, it redirected my nervous energy. 2. Every time I wanted to bite my nails I oiled them and cuticles. That also redirected my nervous energy to a new habit.
All the comments say they’ve stopped biting their nails due to the coronavirus, I’ve been the complete opposite. I stopped for about 4 years after an awful acrylic experience and from then on got gel nails which they grew naturally and healthily and I kept them nice and pretty. Now we’re in our third lockdown which has been going on for 5 months now with no true end in sight I’m finding it impossible to keep my anxieties at bay and of course without being able to go to a salon I have taken it out on my hands. I’m gonna order some vitamin e nail oil and a nail strengthener and see if a bit of self care helps. Thank you for sharing
I have been a nail biter my whole life, everyday, every time I was stressed i would bite them and all the skin around! I bought a similar product & It’s been a couple of weeks and I’m so impressed with myself, not a big deal to people but it is to me!! I still fiddle with them and sometimes pick the nail polish off but that’s as far as I go. Then repaint them with the stuff before I have the urge to bite them!! Determined to keep going!!
My whole life I have bit my nails and I stoped and then I started again. I have never had a reason for biting my nails I would look at my nails and if there was something to bite I would! I’m not trying to stop again.
I have the same problem! I literally broke the habit like 5 times but then start biting again
I’ve been biting my nails since I was 2 and I’m now 13. This video really helped me because really wanted nice nails like all of my friends.
as soon as i clicked on this i was like “OMG SHES SO PRETTY WTF”
i don't bite my nails in public, i only do it when i'm alone, and I usually do it when I'm reading or watching something, so maybe i should get something to fidget on. I also get anxious when i need to socialize. (but like i said I don't bite my nails in public) so i just chip my nails using my fingers.
Today's the first day I decide to stop biting my nails! Wish me luck 💗
How’s that going?? Good??
good luck!!
Even I used to bite my nails , in third grade my teacher once slapped me in front of whole class for biting nails , I stopped but then again I started it 😢....but now I'm controlling myself a lot , wearing gloves whenever I felt the urge to bite my nails , applying bitter taste polish ...all of these and I'm happy that its been 3 strong months I didn't bite my nails ...so happy😍😍😍😍
Wish me luck ..that I can continue this 😍😊😀😍
Sweety, I watched your video awhile back and bought exactly what you recommended and it worked! Not at first, but I kept rubbing the vitamin E oil in my nails every time I got fidgety. I honestly think , in my case, it ws the dry feeling of my nails that made me take my teeth to them. My nails are so pretty now, even their shape looks healthier. Thank you so much for this idea
Biting my nails while watching this 😂
I stopped biting my nails back in 2020 but then I started biting them again and I’m back to square one now 😭 I’ll stop biting it from today and keep updating here. Maybe it’ll help. Wish me luck!
update: I did not bite my nails ever since
@@ramisaalam8059 proud of uu
I’m doing this for my girlll!!! I end up biting my nails so much when I get anxious or when I happen to see them getting long while using anything with my hands, and I don’t usually notice, but I really just wanna look nice in every way for my girl, so this is where I’m at now 😽
Thank you so much Ellie I am about to start doing everything you said ! I’ve gotten better with not biting my nails as much but I just really wanna stop completely! So hopefully this works!! & also you are gorgeous girl 🥰
The way I stoped was I started to paint them in these designs that would take a long time to do. I then would not bite them because I didn’t want to mess up the designs. Then I wanted my nails to look better when they were painted so I started to LET THEM GROW. Now sometimes I bite them but u can’t tell because they are to long to show. But I have been trying to completely stop it for good lately.
I’ve been biting my nails since I was a toddler and since corona I’ve been trying to stop because why you bite your nails your swallowing dirt, Bactria, and a whole bunch of germs and I’m not trying to get sick. Plus my mom said if I grow my nails out she will get me acrylics so it’s a win win
Your video inspired me so greatly to stop biting my nails, as mine were just as extreme and I’d been doing it for over 15 years. It was so painful! I watched this video about 6 ish months ago and it took work, but I kicked the habit for good and now my nails look amazing! Thank you! ❤ Nail biters: Y’all CAN do it, my biggest tip is keep your nails cleaned up, keep nail growth polish on it at all times, and keep your cuticles moisturized. The habit is an OCD related habit, so if you don’t have any hang nails or “frillies” as she calls it lol, you’ll have way less of an urge. And building a habit of self awareness so you will catch yourself in the moment!
girl.... i used to have the addiction and habit of peeling my nails every time it grew out. i started my nail growth journey in 2019 and i also had never thought in a million years i'd be able to grow out my nails for good too! lol, miracles are real! LOL. I documented my experience and journey on my channel under "nail growth journey".
omg thank u i ve always thought that my nails will never grow up again
yes they will!! 💛
Covid-19 has forced me to just stop cold turkey!
Me too!
I bite my nails and cuticles, I have trichotillomania and OCD, I have borderline anxiety disorder, and ADD. My nail biting helps me cope, and I thought one day, "why do i consider this coping!?" and i actually went cold turkey and stopped. I have found more healthy ways to cope, and this video has helped a lot. Thanks!!!
I just randomly bite things and idk why like when I'm not biting my nails I bite my cheek like a part of my cheek is missing cuz I chewed it off 🙃

One thing that has really helped me was that I used to bite my nails at school, but now that we have to wear masks I really have no time to bite them
I have been biting my nails for so long, at least 7 years... I've been trying for at least 3 years to stop, but whenever I don't have something bitter on my nails I end up biting and within a day they're all bitten now as far as possible. This really helped for motivation and ideas to help!! Thanks!!
I LITTERALLY DO THE EXACT SAME THINGS AS YOU DO NOW!!!!! I don't know how but everything you said in the video is everything i do now.
Having hand lotion and a file on hand help plenty. When u want to bite your nails file and moisturize.
I bite me nails when I’m bored and I’m not doing anything with my hands. So quarantine is not doing me any good but this inspires me to stop.
