Onyx Professional Stop the Bite Nail Biting Deterrent Polish 0.5 Fl Oz - Helps Nails Grow & Can be Used as a Top or Base Coat

Okay so I have no photos because i’m irresponsible BUT i originally bought this mid/late december and it works SOO good. I’ve been chewing my nails for 18+ years and my nails are just nubs so I have tried so many things to help and I found this bad boy. The taste is bitter (I make a sour face) and will definitely linger on your lips so it’s a sort of punishment that stops you from even chewing your skin around your nails. It gets on finger foods sometimes but it’s so worth it!! Because I couldn’t bite to thin them and the polish itself help aid in thicker nails! Unfortunately I left the polish in a different state as I moved and December and was riding on glue on nails. I recently found myself with no glue on nails and completely destroyed my progress (I chew of habit to the point my nails bleed) so I’m pretty excited to have purchased this again and restart my nail journey. It’s SO WORTH IT.Also ps if you get it on your lips I just get my toothbrush and paste and just scrub my lips raw and it goes away :)

I bought this in hopes that it would help my son stop biting his nails and let me tell you...this stuff works! I tried it out on my own nails and can say that the taste is very bitter, and will get anyone to avoid tasting that!

This product gets a 5 out of 5 for stopping the bite lol. It is almost unbearable when you completely forget the product is on and you put your fingers even the slightest bit to your mouth. I give it a 2 out of 5 for versatility because it doesn’t just stop with nail biting, the taste gets on your food, on your fingers, literally everywhere. I’m determined to stop biting my nails so I have been eating finger foods with gloves on and I have been applying Vaseline and things like that with a cotton swab just to avoid it. So you definitely learn what you can and can’t do. The instructions say twice daily but I think that is superduper overkill seeing as though how strong it is. Anybody in the review section saying that it’s not strong and it can easily be washed off or peeled off, is simply lying. It somehow literally soaks into everything, peeling it off hasn’t gotten rid of the taste, and washing your hands with soap doesn’t help at all. I honestly would probably put it on a couple times a week if that.

are you a nail-biter? Not anymore! This stuff tastes so nasty you wouldn't want to put your fingers anywhere near your mouth.

Longest my nails have been in a decade. Caution: you will lose weight. This stuff makes any handheld food a high-risk option.

This is going to be a weird review because I'm personally happy with how it works, and I keep buying it. However, I haven't completely stopped biting my nails; what it has successfully done is it has made me wait until my nails are longer so I don't bite my cuticles and dry skin. It does taste bad, and it's hard to escape it. The other thing I don't mind but may be a negative to most people is that it peels off easily after a day (but peeling it off actually gives me something to do other than bite them).

Good

Plain and simple: This works. But at a cost. I've only used it once, and it's already hard for me to imagine putting my cuticles anywhere near my mouth again. But minus 1 star honestly, because it STAYS ON, and it SPREADS. You like eating food? Too bad, that's over, this stuff somehow transfers to my food even after washing my hands multiple times. Don't lick your fingers, don't apply vaseline to your mouth -- you will be sorry. I have now showered twice, and my fingers somehow still taste like gasoline and grass combined. I have not needed to reapply. So, basically, if you are getting started, go slow. Less is more. And my problem was the cuticle biting, so probably don't get it on your finger skin as much as I did. Effective, but frighteningly so.
