You almost always want to wear a clear base polish to protect your nails. You should go without it 3-4 days and then re-apply.

Also, you want to keep your hands moisturized 24/7. This is the lotion I use. I have one upstairs in my house and one downstairs & I keep a smaller bottle with me at all times.

You should learn what type of nail biter are you. Do you bite your nails while taking exams, or in a meeting at work? You could be biting because you are anxious.

Some people will bite their nails because they're bored. KEEP YOUR HANDS AND MOUTH OCCUPIED. For mouth: chew gum, eat mints, drink a smoothie. Anything! For your hands: play with a pen, always move

your hands so you don't have a chance to put them in your mouth. If you are chewing your nail & you realize, stop immediately and sit on your hands for a couple of minutes and think about the nails

YOU want to make your hands BEAUTIFUL. I know perfect nails aren't a big deal, but if you want to stop biting them you should disciple yourself so you learn to stop.
