Q: How long does it remain effective before you have to reapply and does frequent daily handwashing reduce the effective time before reapplication?

submitted by idaValentine4 - 9 months ago
  • A: Hello, In the beginning, consistency is key. Hand washing doesn't take the taste away but it may reduce it little by little. Stay consistent, reapply every other day to ensure the taste deters the habit. Hope this helps.

Q: Is this safe? My toddler got sick from a similar product, stopped use but she still bites her nails and puts her hands in her mouth when upset. She rubs her eyes & I saw an eye irritant complaint here

submitted by Jael - 10 months ago

Q: how do i remove it? i noticed that it burns my eyes when washing my face, and i tried removing with nail polish remover but didnt work. what do i do?

submitted by Khadija - 2 years ago
  • A: Hello Khadija, thank you for your message. You can use our soy based nail polish remover or acetone to remove the no more biting treatment. It removes just like our other nail care and nail polish. We would strongly recommend to wait until your nail care or polish is completely dry before using your hands. Please keep us posted.

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

sarah1199 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.

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!

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!

I try - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
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.

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

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

Literally don’t understand the negative reviews on this! It stopped my 2 year old thumb sucking in 2 days! This has been great!!! Dries pretty quick. Taste is very strong which deters him from thumb sucking. I tried it on one of my thumbs and it was nasty and can see why it works! I needed an option as he was starting to get infections in his thumbs from constantly putting them in his mouth! This has been a literal life saver! Thank you for making this product available and making it safe for toddlers!!!

We bought this nail polish because our 2 year old would suck her thumb all day since she was a baby, we tried so many things including the thumb guard but she started sucking her other fingers and her thumb started to deform, we bought this nail polish and she stopped, we kept applying the nail polish every two days and by a week she has completely forgotten about her thumb and we no longer need to apply the nail polish. I’m so thankful for this nail polish now her thumb can heal and her teeth won’t deform as well.

This came half empty with crusty nail polish all around the inside of the cap. It didn’t look like it had leaked in shipping so I’m assuming someone used it and returned it. Website won’t let me return by mail or fix the issue, which kinda stinks. Please Target check your merchandise before shipping!! This is not the first time this has happened with buying nail polish online from Target unfortunately…

this is the longest my nails have been in years!! i deal with a lot of anxiety and have always kept my nails short bc i play lots of instruments. with this it’s completely deterred my perceived need to bite! the only thing is i can’t lick my fingers after i finish food which is the least of my concerns. takes forever to get the taste out of your mouth which i guess is the point haha. i’ve been using for a week, it wears down a lot for me so i just reapplied but thats because i work with my hands a lot. great product!! and its vegan!

Super impressed! My 2 year old had a severe nail biting problem. It started small, then escalated very quickly. Her nails were so low they were bleeding, mostly just skin/ nail bed. Her fingertips were even a bit inflamed. 2 weeks later she’s barely biting her nails at all! And, I’m now starting to “wean” off the product, doing less and less applications! Very quick and easy to apply. The taste definitely gets the job done!
