Works great

I got this for my son who has always chewed his nails. It worked immediately! This is after I had to cut them the first time, which was 4 weeks.

Helped me break the habit I've had most of my life!

I've been a nail biter for over 15 years. In the past few years I've had short periods where I'd get better about it, but then fall back into the moment any stressful situation came up. My nails have always been in horrible condition. I decided I'd give this a chance. To be perfectly honest, I was worried that my temptation to bite my nails would fight through the bitter taste, or get used to it after a while. Well I can go ahead and tell you that's not the case. Any time I've unconsciously tried to bite my nails (which happens more than I'd like to admit) I back my hand away once I taste that awful taste. I often put my nails on my lips (not biting) when I am thinking. I later taste the bitter taste in my lips, so we'll see how long I keep that up. The instructions suggest to apply 2 times daily, but I don't understand that. 1 coat seems more than enough to get me through the day. It ends up starting to peel by the end of the day, but I just use some nail polish remover and reapply. The only concern guys might have is it makes your nails pretty shiny. It is definitely a difference, but as for how many people notice I'm not sure. Nobody has said anything, but I feel like I'm the only person who notices. Either way, I don't care because shiny nails are better than nails that have been bitten.

HIP HIP HOORAY!

WORKS! My daughter has been a finger sucker (not thumb) since birth. I have been trying to get her to stop because it has started to affect her teeth. I tried the malva brand about a year ago and it didnt work. She just endured the bitter taste until it was all off and carried on with her finger sucking. I resorted to using gloves which tend to work IF I can keep them on her. lol Since she is 4 she does know how to take them off and be manipulative into getting you to agree to letting her take them off. ie. washing hands or eating ALOT lol With summer coming and desperately wanting to get her to stop I decided to try once more with the nail polish. To my surprise this one worked., Within a week she completely stopped sucking her finger. Now I will say it is a pain because if you follow the directions (as I did) you MUST paint on 2 coats TWICE a day. I painted 2 coats in the morning before school and 2 more coats after school and that seemed to do the trick. I havent painted her nails in a week and she still hasnt sucked on her fingers so give it a try!

Very effective!!!

I absolutely love this product!!! Within 2 days of using it as directed, my toddler of 2 and a half years old doesn't dare to put her finger in her mouth anymore, instead she said, "ewww nasty!" My problem with her is that since she had turn 6 months she stopped using her pacifier and instead started sucking her two fingers, now she hasn't even tried expect once in the last two days since I received this product, she hasn't sucked her fingers. I'm one around mama right now, let's see how long she'll last with not sucking her fingers. *fingers crossed* hopefully this breaks her bad habit.

Awsome stuff that really works

I bought this because I'm always biting my nails, I'm Marks wife , and I love it, I really have quit biting my nails and the taste is awful.. In fact I think it absorbs in your body because I can taste it on my lips sometimes. I saw this product on Rachael Ray a few weeks ago , and the lady who used it is a regular on her show , she is the lady who does all the make overs she has long brown hair and she had a baby a year or so ago .Rachael Ray had 3 on her regulars try 3 different products and the lady tried it . She loves it also, she said she has tried it for a few weeks and she could already scratch her husband. and she talked about the taste and another lady even taste the tip of her finger to taste it , and all agreed the taste was awful, but it works... She loved it and told everyone she would continue to use. so to me that is a great comment . With it being on National T.V. and a t.v. personality loved it ,, Thanks again. I think I'm going to have to get another bottle soon mine is almost gone. Thanks again...Its worth the money to me to have long nails which I'm 57 years old and have never had them, My husband better watch out I might be scratching him next. lol Thanks again Elizabeth Gilkey

Get It!

I have been biting my nails since I was a child. It is not a nervous habit, more of a downtime habit that I do while watching TV, reading, or commuting. I have tried to kick the habit before, but was unsuccessful. I bought this product, and was surprised by its effectiveness. I had my S. O. apply it,since I don't have experience applying nail polish, and she seemed to think the applicator was acceptable. The finish is slightly shiny. I would prefer more of a matte finish, but it is not overly-shiny as to stand out. I am a male and I spend most of my time in a business professional setting, so having well-manicured or shiny nails is not extremely uncommon, and I don't totally stand out. Honestly, it is more common to see men with well-manicured nails and a professional topcoat than it is to see men with bitten nails, so this sheen is not a deal-breaker. It tastes horrible. Since I don't have a compulsion to bite when I am nervous, only mindlessly while doing other activities, having this reminder to not bite my nails in my downtime is highly effective. Every time I taste it, I am reminded "hey, don't bite" via a violently bitter and chemical taste. Of course, it is unpleasant, but it is meant to develop a quasi-Pavlovian response that trains me not to want to bite. Unfortunately, it peels off fairly easily throughout the course of the day. Even if I keep my fingers out of my mouth, routine hand washing and everyday activities causes the polish to peel. It is necessary to reapply after every shower, so at least twice per day. This is really the only complaint I have about this polish. If taking 10 minutes per day to reapply this polish is what it takes to stop biting my nails forever, then I definitely don't mind the tradeoff. I can't speak to the quality of this product in relation to other similar products, but I am happy with the purchase overall. Buy it for yourself, buy it for your significant other, buy it for your kid, buy it for your dad, buy it for your boss, buy it for your professor, buy it for your pet!

This before and after picture is should be enough to make you purchase !

I have bitten my nails for years and could never stop ! I decided to stop biting my nails during quarantine for coronavirus considering putting my nails in my mouth could be a life or death situation! I am here today to tell you my nails look so much better , I don’t feel the need to hide them anymore , it’s only been about 3 weeks so far ! I don’t have the polish on in the second picture because I’m working on not biting them without the polish on as well ( I don’t want to be dependent on the polish alone) The taste is bitter but not completely intolerable ! It’s bitter enough to make me not want to ever bite my nails again but tolerable enough that the taste on my mouth will fade eventually ! You do have to apply another coat at minimum every two days but it’s a constant reminder to be consistent! If you are using this do NOT eat or prepare any food with your bare hands , refrain from touching/rubbing your eye , don’t even touch your face if you can help it ! Great product I highly recommend , this makes for an awesome top coat and it’s fast drying ! I used it as top coat to paint my nails different colors ! I never realized how freeing it was to not bite my nails or have to hide them because I bit them down to the fact that they were ugly to me ! I love my nails now 🖤

Works for thumb suckers

I have a four year old toddler who has been sucking her thumb since she was a baby. She didn't like using the pacifiers and now her jaw line is starting to shift. The dentist said we might have to get her a mouth plate. So I had to so something. None of my other efforts worked. Putting tape or bandage around her thumb and putting vinegar. I found this on Amazon and it took a few days to arrive. I saw the results immediately working. I put this on my daughter's nails. It smelled like nail polish. She has attempted to put her thumb in her mouth a few times, but she said just a little bit. And I have not seen her suck her thumb at all. She was mostly sucking her thumb at night and when I check in on her, I don't see her thumb in her mouth at all. I've been reapplying this on her every night for the past three nights and so far it is working.

WOW

This thing is amazing, I got it for my 14 year old son whose nails I had not cut since he was about 7 years old. His nails used to grow a lot but he hated it when I cut them so he started biting on them to the point that they looked trimmed so there was no need to me to cut them; at first, I was happy about that, not having to go through the hassle of cutting his nails but as he got older his nail biting habit got worse and worse and his nails looked very short and not just trimmed. I tried yelling at him at first and he would tell me he was not going to do it again, but obviously that did not work; I tried putting jalapeno, vinegar, spicy sauce, alcohol and nothing worked and I left it at that for a while until I noticed that his nails were so short that his skin was starting to grow over the top of the nails so I bought this. At first, I started to apply it twice every day for about a month, he complained a lot because he could not lick his fingers after eating spicy chips and he could taste this when eating pizza or other finger foods, but after about three weeks of using It twice per day I had to cut his nails for the first time; I then started to apply once per day for about another month and I had to cut his nails three more times during that month! I’m finishing the second bottle now but I’m applying it only every other day and his nails are growing like they did when he was younger. This thing is amazing! I thank God I came across this product.

This stuff works!

Everyone knows that it takes time to change a habit. We have to remind ourselves that it took time to form the habit first, so it stands to reason that it will take time to stop the habit. That being said, this product really goes a long way to help change a habit that has formed over years. My son has a habit of biting his nails and hangnails that form on occasion. He does it without even realizing that he's doing it. We've tried all kinds of things to help him stop, but this is the only thing that seems to work. It gives him the power to make his own changes. Because he bites his nails without realizing it, this product gives him a little surprise and it causes him to be more mindful of what he's doing. He will immediately stop biting his nails once he tastes it, and then will redirect his energy to something else. Also, he revealed to me that he prefers this over my husband and I constantly telling him to stop biting his nails. One thing to note, make sure to reapply it on a regular basis because it will wear off on its own. Also, reapply after doing something in water for prolonged periods (like washing or rinsing the dishes). Definitely pleased with the product and the price for it.
