Have a look in the tutorials hun,
peter pan has done one for sculting bitten nails and i think it was ruth ( could be wrong) who did a tutorial on saddling a tip for bitten nails they should help you out hth

if you click on navigation and scroll down to tutorials, there is one for tipping and another for sculpting.

My personal preference would be to tip these nails, using the saddling method

Whatever you deciede, tiped or sculpted your prep has to be methodical[Spot on] Nail biter's..hrmm, everything grows in excess, even the nails

Take the time for thourough hand maintainence before you apply product. Get your canvas [nailplate] as clean/tidy as you can.

You'd be surprised how much nail is really there after the cuticle area etc has been attended to.
From there deciede which method of application is best suited.
