Nail Biter

My DD is almost 2 and bites her nails - a lot. She gets it from her mom 
And, I got it from my mom :P So, I know it started as imitation (and I'm trying REALLY hard to stop, or at least not do it in front of her - though I usually don't do it consciously). I think it has become a bad habit rather quickly when she is bored or perhaps other emotions??
How do I get her to stop? She often has bitten very close to the skin, caused some bleeding under one of her nails by (I'm assuming) just biting down really hard.

gloves/socks on hands at night/for naps
this ick stuff they used on my sister for her thumb, tried it on my nails
I believe there is nail polish that tastes bad when you try to bite- try that!
