Manicured nails are pretty to look at.
When you have something pretty on your hands, you’re less likely to want to destroy it by biting your nails. You are also less likely to bite your nails as it may result in the accidental eating of paint.
When you bite your nails, and want to stop the habit, one of the best things you can do is to keep your nails fully covered and manicured.
When your nails are painted and covered in a manicure, it can prevent snags and tears which may be temptations for biting.
To manicure your nails, the first thing you want to do is prep your nails for a manicure by shaping and cleaning them.
Once your nail bed is prepped for a manicure, apply a long-lasting nail polish in a darker color like deep red or navy blue.
The best manicure for nail biters is a darker color in a long wear formula because:
It will keep your nails fully covered for long periods of time, which can help prevent the urge to bite
Your manicure will be chip-free for longer, so you can grow your nails out
Darker colors show chips more easily, which encourages you to give yourself a fresh manicure when your current manicure wears out, to help keep your nails covered
Here are a few manicure ideas for nail biters:

When your nails are fully painted in a fresh manicure, there is less temptation to bite them.
To keep them painted, when your manicure chips, repaint your nails as soon as possible, because chips can also encourage biting.
