"      Famous nail biter Britney Spears might benefit from a new growth-promoting program being offered at ROB/B, OPI&amp;#039;s Concept Salon in Studio City, California: The mani-pedi hot spot has developed a &amp;quot;boot camp&amp;quot; for nail nibblers consisting of a consultation session and personalized treatment regimen. &amp;quot;Since a lot of nail biting is psychological, changing your thinking is key; remember that you are what you eat\u2014or at least what you put in your mouth,&amp;quot; says Robbie Schaeffer, owner of the salon. &amp;quot;Sometimes just asking yourself where your hands have been each day is enough to keep you from repeatedly biting those germy fingertips.&amp;quot;   But for those who aren&amp;#039;t deterred, Schaeffer says that committing to regular manicures could be key. His logic? Biting away at your nails is one thing, but ruining a $15 mani is another thing altogether! Schaeffer has strategies to make your polish last: &amp;quot;When mind over matter doesn&amp;#039;t work, we use a special, bitter nail polish,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;The clear lacquer will keep you from biting because the taste is very unpleasant. We can also add an artificial nail to keep you from wrecking whatever nail is underneath\u2014acrylic will withstand even the most persistent biting and allow your natural nails to grow.&amp;quot;   \u2014Emily Hebert   Photo: Retna "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
