ella+mila No More Biting Nail Polish - Bitter Taste Nail Biting Treatment for Kids & Adults - Stop Thumb Sucking Deterrent - Finger Biter Prevention (0.45 fl oz)

Seriously works amazing! It’s been 2 days since I started to use it. And I can already tell you now the taste is horrendous. Has kept my fingers out of my mouth. Sucks when you eat finger food though cause once the taste goes into your mouth it makes the food taste bad. So you won’t want to eat. Which I guess secretly it helps you control your hunger and cravings haha. Really good product

Works so well. But it does make your fingers taste nasty. Used it for my 5 year old who sucks her thumb at night and I heard her multiple times up spitting and trying to rinse her mouth. It works… but it’s very very bitter. But that’s why it works! She doesn’t suck her thumb anymore.

I never write reviews but had to share my experience as a mom of a strong willed 5.5 year old thumb sucker! We applied the polish on both thumbs on Monday before school in the hopes to stop thumb sucking at school during this horrid cold/flu season. He sucks his thumb when concentrating, when bored, when watching shows or while teacher is teaching, and to self-soothe for bed ever since we sleep trained him at 4 mo old. I completely forgot that this polish STAYS ON for a while and bedtime was going to be impacted, but there was no turning back and we needed to kick the habit once and for all, including sleep! So we committed. He allowed us to apply, and it didn’t burn or anything (“this is to help with germs and keep you healthy.”) Dried very quickly. I put it on while we were in the car and it was dry by the time we walked into school. He accidently put his thumb in his mouth a couple times out of habit that day and every time he would promptly take it out with a big YUCK! He got upset, yes, but it deterred his thumb-sucking! A swig of water solved it. We gave him some fidgets to help keep his hands busy. That night, he got PISSED and demanded I “take it off” but of course, that wasn’t an option and we rode the wave of comforting him and letting him work through it. Nights 1-3 he would get up a dozen times with every excuse in the book to avoid going to bed but eventually fell asleep! And no thumb-sucking during the days! I was SHOCKED! He even stopped sucking by accident/out of habit by the second day! Last night was night 5 and he went right to sleep! I will say I noticed after his bath on Wednesday night that the polish was starting to peel off so I reapplied it then to both thumbs, even though he had stopped sucking by then. It dried quickly again but it doesn’t last as long as they say it does, keep that in mind. I still give 5 stars because guys….IT WORKS! I’m a believer and so so thankful because I was starting to think my kid would suck his thumb until college! Every kid is different but I’m telling you….its worth a try! Hope it works for you, too! I will come back and edit my review if anything changes.

I used this product for about a month. The tastes is pretty bad and does linger in your mouth. But what really helped is the psychological aspect—just knowing that I’ll have a gross taste in my mouth prevented me from biting my nails. Because, technically, you could get used to the taste, so I think this product works because of what it does to your psyche. Lol. I saw some reviews that cautioned people against using contacts while using this product. So, I did wear latex gloves to put my contacts in every morning for the time I used this product. I HIGHLY recommend this product. My nails are so beautiful now! :) I have no urge to bite them anymore. I give this four stars because of the fact that you’ll need to wear gloves to put in contacts and that the polish really does end up on your finger pads too and can ruin the taste of your meal. FYI: The photo shows two months of progress.

Not sure why it didn’t work for my daughter.. but didn’t seem to make her stop biting her nails.

Horrible taste! But works so good. My 3 year old stopped sucking his thumb in one day because of how bad the taste was. He tried during the night once and was freaking out about the taste and never tried again. I felt bad but it’s worth it!

I love ella and mila polish because of the lack of harmful chemicals which led me to try this for my finger sucking 1 year old. I also tried it on myself to test it. The product stayed on well, it lasted a couple of days, the taste was very deterrent and lasted in my mouth. If I sucked my thumb or fingers this would definitely keep my hands out of my mouth, but unfortunately it didn't work for my determined toddler. It worked for a few seconds until she got used to the taste. great product, great idea but the determination of a strong- willed toddler can move mountains

My twins love to suck their thumb. It’s a habit. Tried all but no avail until we found this product. After every shower have to reapply to ensure it’ll work. Done for 7 days and now the thumb habit is non existence. Thank you!!

No funcionó, mi esposa siguió comiéndose las uñas aun con el producto en los dedos.
