Onyx ProfessionalStop the Bite Nail Biting Prevention Polish, 0.5 Fl Oz - Made in USA, Stop Nail Biting, No Bite Nail Polish, Thumb Sucking Deterrent

I am a 64 year old woman who has bitten her nails all my life. I have always hid my hands and the only rings I wear are my wedding rings. Always embarrassed of my bitten nails. I got this and started putting it on my nails daily. It tastes absolutely horrible. Before I knew it, a week had passed and no biting. It has worked fantastically for me. I am now more than 2 months with no biting and actually got my first manicure! My nails are beautiful! I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to stop.

I didn’t expect this to work as well as it did! The bitter taste is strong enough to make you immediately stop biting your nails, and it doesn’t fade quickly. I noticed a difference within the first few days. I love that it also doubles as a base coat and helps promote growth. It's a simple, effective product that actually delivers. If you're serious about quitting nail biting, this is a must-try.

This would be a good choice for a kid as it's an unpleasant taste but mild. Unfortunately I got this to get ME, an adult, to stop chewing my nails and cuticles but it's not strong enough to stop me. Lol

Honestly this works... I literally feel terrorized by this stuff. I put it on twice a day, and boy I have not bitten my nails for the last few days so that's good! But everything I touch tastes horrifying, even my own lips for some reason taste horrifying, like if I lick my lips, it ruins my day for the next half hour... I think the taste wipes off all over me because your fingers individually touch your nails, and then if the bottom pads of your fingers touch something, like lets say a chip, and you go to eat it, then that chip will taste bitter. Idk I am just afraid of everything now lmao and I definitely don't want to bite my nails ever again after I get over this!

This is the first Amazon review I have written in my life after buying Amazon product for 10 years. We have been struggling with our 3.5 year old with finger sucking and have literally done everything in the books. EVERYTHING. However this product literally killed the habit in a stress free easy way. We were literally shocked as parents how well this worked. Now how we did it? We never told her it was to get rid of sucking or that sucking was bad, instead we told her the product was to strengthen her nails and every time we completed applying the polish she could pick 2 stickers. WE LOVED it and the PRODUCT helped 1000%.

This is going to be a weird review because I'm personally happy with how it works, and I keep buying it. However, I haven't completely stopped biting my nails; what it has successfully done is it has made me wait until my nails are longer so I don't bite my cuticles and dry skin. It does taste bad, and it's hard to escape it. The other thing I don't mind but may be a negative to most people is that it peels off easily after a day (but peeling it off actually gives me something to do other than bite them).

This really made me stop biting my nails. The taste is so bad, the taste stays in your mouth for a good while too so you won’t be planning on biting again! Need to order more soon because I am just about out.

Basically, it's just clear nail polish with a generic "chemical" polymer taste. I wouldn't say it has any kind of unique "awful" taste - you only notice it when you're already biting your nail (so you'll have to do a bit of chewing). But honestly, yes - it does discourage nail biting because you stop as soon as you start. Maybe any clear nail polish would have the same effect.
