    Smear poop onto your nails to start the day off.

    THEN would you want to bite you nails?!?!

    I didn't think so!!!

    Maybe you could try mixing chilli powder with nail polish. Or chilli sauce, if powder is too thick. The spicy taste might stop the nail-chewing. Lol.

    I have a problem with the skin around my nails. I often pick/chew. Someone once told me to put dog poop on them. Nooooo thank you! lol But yeah, I think there is stuff you can buy in a drug store that makes it taste absolutely awful.

    There is stuff you can buy to put on your nails - it's almost like nail polish but it tastes bitter and it will remind you really quickly to STOP! I have no idea what it's called or where you buy it but I'm sure you can google it or something.
