Guests are saying
This product has garnered mixed feedback from guests, with many praising its effectiveness in deterring thumb sucking and nail biting, particularly for children. The strong, unpleasant taste is often cited as a key factor in its success, as it discourages the habit. However, some guests reported issues with the product's longevity and its tendency to transfer its taste to food. Overall, it appears to be a viable option for those looking to break these habits, especially when used consistently.

Strong; may burn some parts of cuticle
Product detail page says this doesn't contain several harsh ingredients but it is definitely harsh on sensitive skin or any cuts from biting when you apply it to your nails. It burns pretty badly on any red area and leaves a thin layer of liquid (similar to how super glue can dry on skin). It lasts long but I think I prefer the "pen" style of similar products to this one which comes in a nail polish style small container

Did not work for fingers in mouth
I tried this for several nights and it did not help. My child has an urge to touch his teeth. Since this said it helps thumb suckers I hoped it would help with teeth touching.

Great to break a habit!
Works! My 6yo was ready to stop sucking her thumb but needed a little help to break the habit. We tried a lot of things but this worked immediately. Painted her nails and once she tasted it, she was done with putting her thumb in her mouth. Lasted a couple days and then needed to reapply. I applied it to my own nails - It’s bitter and the taste lingers a bit, but not so terrible that I feel badly using it on a kid. She even says the taste staying in her mouth is one of the reasons she doesn’t want to suck her thumb. She’s so proud of herself. Winning!

Not worth the price
Tried to use on my 2yr old, he’s always biting his nails. Didn’t do anything to help stop him from biting. When I first tried it I was hopeful because he almost immediately put his fingers in his mouth and then pulled them right out. Next couple of times, it’s like it either started to taste good to him or it just faded fast because here we are back to square one of the nail biting. Lol

Love it!
Okay so, this product works SUPER well. you have to apply a few layers and/or reapply it every few days because it chips off but that is with almost any nail polish. It has this bitter taste to it that kind of absorbs into your tongue? for a little. Really gives you that signal to STOP biting. It isn't too nasty though, like I am not gagging from the taste. Just a subtle "hey.. don't do that". The product also gives you a little layer on your nails so if you have brittle and thin nails like me, it helps. Do NOT suck your fingers if they are saucy, you'll regret it every time. use a napkin or wash your hands. i know, i am gross. oh and if you have an animal that likes to lick, don't forget that they can't lick ur nails. it won't harm them but they will taste it too.anyways, really great product! i recommend pairing it with some cuticle oils or something if you have a problem biting you skin around the nails too or if you pick. it helped me a lot as well.

Tastes like poison
Will definitely prevent you from biting your nails cause it tastes poisonous. Transfers easily and gets on clothes and skin.

Taste Transfers
Alright, this stuff is foul, as it should be. BUT it needs to not transfer so easily... Touch nose all can smell, touch your skin anywhere (genitals included) you're gonna taste/smell it.... It is something else, here's to breaking biting habits and doing anything with your handsssss

Miracle Worker
I am in awe at how well this worked to break my 6 year old’s thumb sucking habit. She would suck her thumb constantly when her hands were idle and nothing we tried worked. I honestly didn’t think this nail polish would work either, but I was willing to try anything. It’s been about a month since I applied the nail polish for the first time and she hasn’t sucked her thumb once since that day! I am so happy I gave this a try.

Great to break thumb-sucking habit
My three year old picked up a thumb-sucking habit from a friend at preschool, and once it took hold, we were unable to get him to stop. We tried everything we could think of. Even though he seemed to understand that it wasn’t a behavior we supported and that he could pick up germs and get sick, he would mindlessly put his thumb in his mouth dozens of times a day. We finally put this nail polish on his nails, and reapplied it a few times over the course of a week, and that broke the habit completely. It really does taste awful, so as soon as it touched his tongue, he would immediately stop. It’s been months, and he has never started back. I don’t think the bad taste lasted that long, which may be a drawback for some, but I am glad it didn’t because I’d hate for him to have to taste it while eating or brushing his teeth.

Doesnt work to stop thumb sucking
This product did not keep my 2yo from sucking his thumb. I was so hopeful after seeing the reviews but needed to come and leave true, unpaid feedback for any other mamas out there. My son noticed the funny taste but I'm pretty sure in a couple of sucks he'd removed the nail polish completely. Sigh. Save yourself the 11dls!

Daughter vomited after application
I guess you can say it works. My daughter threw up 20-30 mins after application.

Thank you!
I tried everything for many years to get my child to stop thumb sucking. My child at age 7 was still sucking his thumb. I was desperate and the only thing I had not tried was this. The only thing the dentist said they don’t feel comfortable recommending and advise against it. It worked in ONE DAY!

Reccomend
It tastes DISGUSTING which is what’s so good about it. My nails are so much longer and healthier than they were before from all the biting and peeling I’d do with my mouth. I don’t recommend it for people who may throw up easily, because I’ll be honest it does give that sensation for a few seconds, but it goes away quickly.

Works, but needs reapplication often
This polish really did help curb my son's nail biting habit, but it doesn't last very long, especially with frequent hand washing. As long as you're good about reapplying, this can certainly help reduce bad habits

AMAZING!!!
I've been using this for about four days now, and I love it! My nails are already noticeably longer. This thing tastes SO bad and chemically that I in no way want to put my nails in my mouth, which not only helps with nail growth but is also more sanitary. I definitely recommend this product for you if you constantly have the urge to bite your nails no matter how hard you try. 15/10
