Honest10 Nail Biting Treatment for Kids and Adults

BUY THIS!I have a 4 year old that picked up the habit of biting her nails from a friend at daycare. She began biting them as far down as she could. It also caused the skin to peel around the ends. It looked painful, and the skin and nail remnants felt so rough and scratchy. I cut my daughter’s fingernails the same day each week, and every week there became less and less to cut.After about 4 or 5 months of this, no matter what I tried, she would not stop. Then I bought this stuff. Game changer!I tried it first because I try almost everything I give my kids. It stayed on for a week, and tasted super bitter the entire time. I found it even kept me from snacking on finger foods so much because just touching the nail to my lips still tasted bad.When I tried it on her, she initially tried to act like it didn’t taste that bad the first time she put her finger to her mouth. That lasted all of about 5 seconds before she asked for something to drink to try to wash the taste out. She immediately drank an entire cup of juice!After the first week of it being applied, I went to cut her nails and WOW! There were actually nails to cut!!! She didn’t bite them all week! I’m so pleased! Not sure how long it’s gonna take to create the constantly habit without the polish, but we will get there. This stuff truly works!

This stuff tastes terrible and lingers 😅 it does act as a deterrent for any nail biting when kids are bored or just fingers in mouths. It definitely does not taste good! I’m not sure how long it lasts though, at least for a day or so.Beware as the one applying it too- it will also get on your nails 😬

Shocked by how well this worked at stopping our 3.5 year old from sucking his thumb. It only took a few days and he must have figured out how to self-soothe another way because we haven’t needed to apply it much since. Can’t speak for all kids but making his thumb taste wretched worked for our little guy.

I'm not giving this a bad rating just because it didn't work for my daughter. Nothing... and I mean nothing worked to get her to stop sucking her finger. We had to do something a little unconventional... lol. But I tested it on myself and it's disgusting. So I'm sure it would work on the right kiddo.

It definitely works. My 3 year old stopped biting her nails within days. The only part that might deter people is that the taste will linger and trigger gag reflexes. It is strong but effective if you have tried everything and need a more intense approach. It will make everything you touch and eat taste horrible. Especially when eating any finger foods which can be hard for little ones but. I just had my daughter use utensils and she was fine.

100% recommend! I purchased this product because of the good reviews. My granddaughter is 3 yo. and a serious thumb sucker while holding the same blanket since birth. I painted her thumbs at night while she was asleep at night. On day 1, I painted her thumb nails during the day, so that she could c it was awful tasting. Nevertheless, I tasted it first. The taste stays in your mouth for a really long time, yuck . The habit was broken for sure by day 3. But to make sure, I continued painting her thumb nail for a week. It been 2 weeks and she doesnt even think about sucking her thumb nor her blanket. Even while she sleeps. However, after a bath or alot of hand washing, it will need to be reapplied because it washes off. No worries if you forget because they wont forget the taste lol. Her teeth were forming as a thumb sucker. I had to try something NOW. Please try this product 1st. :)

The product really tastes bad but if your son is like mine who is committed to sucking finger, this won't work. That didn't make it impossible, he simply ignored the bad taste it has at first.

It does work!! I have been trying to get my 5 year old to stop biting her nails since she was about 2. She would bite them till she was bleeding and for some reason would keep doing it whenever her nails started to grow back. I tried a different brand of nail polish before this one but she got over the taste pretty quick and then the pen dried up and she started biting her nails again. Well this time it is finally working!The first time I put these on my kids (my youngest wanted it on too since it looked pretty) they both gagged. And I do mean gagged. I seriously thought they were going to throw up. Thankfully they didn’t and the next time I put it on they didn’t gag at all and just said it was gross. After my 5 year old had been wearing it for several days her nails finally grew back! I had then stopped putting it on and, unfortunately, she went back to biting her nails again after maybe a few weeks. I then told her she had to have “nail polish” again to help her nails grow back and within a couple days she stopped biting her nails. Now whenever I take it out she lets me know she doesn’t bite her nails. So I guess it did its job! It just took a while.Overall I am pretty satisfied with this product! It is very expensive in my opinion. The bottle is very small, about the size of actual nail polish. But you get a decent amount of uses out of what is there. I am still worried my daughter might try biting her nails again later since she did so before but pretty confident she wouldn’t do it for long with this my putting this stuff on her. The color isn’t really “clear” as stated. If you put enough on it has a light brown look. (In the picture one hand has the polish and the other doesn’t.) This never bothered me or my kids. In fact I think my kids liked it. It didn’t wash off too much but that could be because of the way my kids wash their hands. The polish does dry pretty quick! I would recommend this before the pen thing I used before and when it comes to biting nails the price could be worth it.
