not yet, but i’ve come a very very long way. I only bite when stressed and distracted now, aka when doing hard hw. I had tried the traditional. Bandaids do work but only if u dont mind walking around with s/t on ur fingers. Even a piece of tape over your nails. For me, the big advance was buying clear polish. It made my nails stronger and if i began biting, i’d only be biting off the polish and it’d also remind me of what i was doing. For me, once my nails got longer, i found it easier to resist cuz they looked good and were also stronger. I still do polish a few days a week. I cant say it always helps, but often does. Also, if i started biting in stress, i’d stop myself after one finger. I find that i mostly only bite my ring finger nails now, which is still an improvement!I’ve heard others suggest once u get ur nails to a basic length, get a manicure, whic will make ur hands look nice n you’ll be less likely to ruin, and if you do, you’ll only ruin the polish. If you have any other ideas, please let me know!
