Q: You say this isn't toxic, but the first ingredient listed is isopropyl alcohol! Explain to me how that's not toxic? I'm also not seeing an age recommendation on this listing.
submitted by A - 2 years ago
A: Isopropyl alcohol is used as a solvent/liquid in many products including this one it dries quickly and evaporates. Unless you drink it out of the bottle you would not be consuming any isopropyl alcohol as it would be evaporated out by the time the product is dry on the nail

Q: Is it breathable nail polish??
submitted by safa - 7 years ago
A: Hi there, this Not Bite deterrent is not a nail lacquer nor is it Breathable. Our Breathable line of polishes is clearly labeled with "Breathable" across the bottle of lacquer. Hope this helps!

Q: If I prepare food
Does that will be affected by nail polish??
& if I feed my daughter with my hand, Does she taste it??
submitted by safa - 7 years ago
A: It's guaranteed your baby would taste the product if any food came into contact with it. I can taste it if food brushes my fingernails even for a second. It's extremely bitter and unpleasant. It's also very effective as a biting deterrent, so maybe use a spoon to feed your child if you're serious about not biting your nails.
submitted byYall - 5 years ago
A: Hi there! This should not change the taste of the food, but it’s possible if you're spending a lot of time with your hands submerged in foots (hand mixing items, for example) it may have an effect. If you're feeding your daughter by hand and a finger nail physically enters her mouth, she will certainly taste it! We hope this helps!

Q: My granddaughter put this on my finger nails. I cannot pick up anything to eat without tasting this nasty stuff on my food. It does not come off with soap and water. What can I use to remove it??
submitted by Sher - 1 year ago
A: Hi there, this sounds like a case of a product working too well. It’s designed to help people break the habit of nail biting by having a bitter but harmless taste. Apply some polish remover with a cotton swab and that should do the trick! Hope that helps!

Q: IS THIS SHINY? Why does it seem nearly impossible to find a product like this that is not shiny. I DO NOT WANT SOMETHING THAT HAS A SHINE TO IT.
submitted by Brian - 3 years ago
A: Hi there. Please know that this product does have a very subtle shine. There are great images in the reviews for you to reference. Thanks!

Q: is it toxic and will it cause internal issues if the product gets in ones mouth?
submitted by Faith - 3 years ago
A: Hi Faith! This product is not toxic. The product has an unpleasant bitter taste designed to help those experiencing nail biting. Thanks!

Q: My daughter bites her skin on her thumb where her knuckle is, would this work to stop her biting her finger if I applied directly on her skin?
submitted by Jacky - 5 years ago
A: Hello! While this product was developed specifically for the nail, it should have the same effect on skin as it's a taste-based deterrent. It has not been formally tested for this purpose, though.

THIS STUFF WOIKS
I have been a nail biter since elementary school. I was able to stop for a few years about a decade ago, but started biting again mostly due to work stress. This time I figured a little bit of help would be a good idea, so I bought the ORLY NO BITE. Let me assure you - this stuff does the trick. I have been using it just over a month now and I haven't bitten my nails or my cuticles because this stuff is so bitter. I wish I had tried it sooner! Photo shows 4 weeks of growth thanks to No Bite.

I bought this for my son that has autism he has a really bad habit of biting his nails ! first off I love the product! the only thing is that it does chip off easily! I did reapply the nail polish every 5 days and it seems to be helping. my son doesnt have his hands often in his mouth just stay consistent with the product! I was also curious about the product that I also put it on and it definitely has a bad taste lmfaoo 🤣 when my son first started to use this product his nail biting was so bad he was picking at his skin on the side of his fingernails and now his nails are healed! also would recommend cuticle oil after

Great, bitter taste works well.
This tastes absolutely disgusting- which is great! There’s no smell, but it has a very strong bitter taste that lasts. I’ve found with my child with ADHD and compulsion to bite nails, it needs to be re-applied every couple days. It doesn’t work perfectly, the brain still produces such a strong drive for stimulation, but it HAS reduced the constant nail-biting and licking tremendously!

Tastes so bad it should stop nail bitting instantly
I just painted my nails for the first time with this polish and I can honestly confirm it’s tastes like ear wax/ Tylenol on steroids… the taste is so disgusting the mental conditioning to not bite the nails especially while eating should kick in very soon…

Works!
The taste is disgusting!! I bite my nails or chew on them daily and have been doing so for 20+ years. I’ve already tried subconsciously to chew on them and I get met with the taste. It’s pretty strong and lingers in your mouth for a bit. Which is good. So far works well. They also have a bit of a gloss to them, maybe a bit of a pinkish tint but it looks natural and good!

Does not work for deterring finger sucking
This did not work for my 6 years old daughter’s bad finger sucking habit. It did not deter her at all. I’m very disappointed with this product.

Helping my 6 year old break thumb sucking habbit.
Bought it for 6 year old to help stop bad thumb sucking habit. Minus 1 star because I think she was sucking it the first night and the next day she was saying her tummy was sore. But besides that 1 incident, I've been reapplying once a day and it's been 1 week and 5 days of no thumb sucking.

Good so far!
I’m 20 and have bitten my nails until it’s literally impossible to bite them anymore ever since I could remember. It’s hard because it makes me very insecure about my hands! With the added stress of finals week I decided to try this out! It dries quick and has a bitter taste that lasts for days. It reminds me not to put my fingers near my mouth at all. Only kinda bad thing is that you can’t eat too many finger foods without tasting it— but it’s worth it to me!

So far so good...?
I have been a nail biter for most of my life and it has been a very hard habit for me to break. I had acrylic nails on for about a month and after taking them off, I felt a lot better having my nails grown out and decided to give this polish a try. Since my nails had grown so much with the acrylics on, this polish has been a good reminder for me to leave them alone. However, I gave 4 stars because I think if I hadn’t had the acrylics and just tried to stop with this polish, I don’t think it would have worked for me. Taste is definitely bitter and seems to last awhile

Does its job
I have tried multiple different nail biting polishes over the years but they never work. It has a pretty nasty taste so it’s def working lol. Only downside is that it seems to chip off fairly quickly, so I have to reapply.

Grandma and child finally have nails!
I got my 67 year old mother to break her nail biting habit after a lifetime of it. I also got my mini-her 5 year old daughter to stop her’s too. They are proud of themselves and now getting their nails done. I definitely recommend!

IT WORKS!!
Definitely recommend. My 11 year old had the absolute worst nail biting & finger sucking habit ever. After 1 application he couldn’t tolerate the smell or taste. IT WORKS!
