The correct expression is "bite your fingernails to the nub" or "bite your fingernails to the quick". You cannot bite your fingers to the nub---impossible. If you bite your fingernails to the nub, nub refers to the way your finger ends would look without a nail sticking out. Nails bitten so badly could bleed and cause the end of the fingers to be sore.
