Help with nailbiting 3 year old - really hurting herself

My daughter is three, and she's been biting her nails for the past year. She's now started chewing on the base of them.

I've tried the anti nail biting stuff, tiny bits of mustard etc, but she loves all of it! There's nothing she doesn't like.

I've run out of ideas. She's bitten one nail off and another is on the way - I am willing to try anything remotely sensible.

I'll watch this thread with interest. No help to you I'm afraid but ds(9) has terrible bitten nails - I have tried all the usual advice. Anyone come up with anything new?
