Barielle No Bite Pro Growth, 0.5 Ounce - Nail Biting Prevention Treatment for Adults & Children, Stops Nail Biting - MADE IN USA

I binge bite my finger nails to a painful, bloody nub. I've tried all kinds of nail hardener/fixer etc but this is the best so far. My problem area is the top edge of the nail where I manage to catch a rough part which leads to pulling out part of the nail which occasionally is deep enough to bleed. When I first applied this stuff My hands were dry and clean. I applied a light coating over the problem areas only. This stuff dried to a smooth surface. I reapply every couple of days or as needed, and occasionally buff with a very smooth sandpaper. I don't have any "white" nail tips yet but I have managed to abstain from messing with my nails at all,(obviously necessary haha) and am waiting for my nails to grow to the point I can use an emery stick. If the product works well I will revisit and give it 5 stars, just rec'd a week or so. I have noticed the bitter taste because it seems to permeate everything I touch, so even if you don't actively bite your nails you'll probably notice a bitter taste, but it's minor and I'm into my 2nd week of no biting and will update to 5 stars when I have enough nail to file I can't address how this product will work regarding combination of regular nail polish etc because I don't use that stuff. Also avoid any finger foods like French fries etc this stuff is very bitter and it travels. Update 1/27/24 No biting so far, almost a month (yay) but need to add please be careful of getting this stuff in your eyes by unconscious rubbing ! June 20, 2024 Ok, time for an update: I started using this stuff beginning of Jan, 2024. By mid April my nails were long enough to file down, except for thumbs and rt hand middle finger (the one we use in traffic); apparently finger nails grow at different speeds like our hair. It's taken awhile for my nails to grow out but during the process this product did its job. I am very satisfied. Anytime I start worrying my thumbnails or any other I dab a little bit of the product on the danger zone. I know if I mess with it, then mess with my mustache the taste will end up in my mouth and it's a bitter taste that takes awhile to go away. I've upped my review to 5 stars. This is the best product for not only stopping the mutilation of my finger tips, but also work's for ongoing treatment, maintenance etc.

Normally I never write reviews, but I felt compelled to in this instance because of how effective this product is. First off, it is vile. I am a chronic nail biter (who falls off the wagon now and then) and given that my professions are in corrections and the medical field, I probably shouldn't be. I bought this stuff two years ago to quit the habit and my god... every time I forget I have the stuff on and go to gnaw on my finger a little, I'm reminded of the way a decaying corpse smells. I imagine that if I licked a decaying corpse (I would never), this is what it would taste like. What's more, the taste lingers and punishes you long after you've gagged on your own fingertip. If you're looking for a deterrent, this is the product for you. The only major downside is that it also taints everything you touch. May as well forget eating those cheetos out of the bag or taste testing some batter. In fact, don't even touch your face. I took a shower later in the day after my first application and I could taste it from the water running down my face. On the plus side...it also encourages you to wear gloves and refrain from touching your face. This stuff lasts. In my professions, I wash my hands an ungodly number of times per day and even so I usually don't have to reapply the stuff for a week or so. It is also versatile. I have a coworker who suspected people were stealing her plastic silverware from her personal drawer so she lightly coated some of her spoons with it. One culprit was convinced she had been poisoned because the coated spoon tainted her soup and made the whole thing taste dreadful. My coworker tested it herself before putting it into use and said she had to drink two capri suns and a number of teddy grahams to even begin to get the taste out of her mouth. Bottom line... it's highly effective. Vile, but effective.

It works great, but here's a caveat: don't lick your fingers after, say, cooking! Not a good taste, which is the whole point!

what can I say about this no bite polish?? We’ll start with where this all began...my childhood. Since being a smol child I’ve have the bad habit of chewing or putting my fingers in my mouth. My father actually tried putting pepper and hot sauce on my tiny fingers to discourage the vice. Little did he know- my tastes had evolved and I grew to like the hot sauce and pepper. My haha. Years have gone by since then. I’ve grown and matured into a successful business bi**h. I have it all- the career, the family, the pantsuits. Only one thing is missing- manicured hands, because I can’t stop picking or chewing my nails. One day after browsing several mindless social media sites I see an article about “must have products!” I bite (haha get it?) and I look through the article and see the recommendation for this polish. For the price and reviews-I press the one-click button and take a chance. Now dear readers this is where my life got twisted upside down. Application of the polish is simple enough. It’s clear, so I brushed a coat on my naked nails and then added some extra coating around my damaged cuticles. I let it dry and I head off to bed. Morning time: approximately 7 hours after application. I rub my eyes after awaking and then grab my multivitamins off my nightstand- pop them into my mouth and take a swig of water. Instantly a foul disgusting taste rises into my mouth. I quickly chug water trying to rinse the bitterness from my tastebuds. No luck. I remember the polish and think-aha it’s supposed to taste gross, don’t put your fingers in your mouth! So idk if y’all know this but the average person in a day will have to put their fingers somewhere near,close, or in their mouth throughout the day. I didn’t know this until I put this polish on, because omg- the entire day I was reminded of my curse as I unwrapped gum, put chapstick on, drank from a straw, ate grapes, rested my hand on my chin, yawned, etc. The bitter disgusting taste from the polish lingered everywhere. There’s no escaping it. And I have not had any desire to put my fingers in my mouth because I dread that taste. My life has changed since using this polish. I’m more attentive to my basic movements and live in fear of the bitter taste creeping in unexpectedly. Totally recommend this product to kick your habit but beware of the lingering side effects....I’m only on day 3 of the polish but it feels like this fear will never subside and I’ll forever be stuck with this nasty-a** polish that has destroyed everything I love. 10/10

I used to love doing my own nails. Then I went and got acrylic nails and my nails became brittle after taking them off. I had a dent in my nails from when the acrylic nails were. Since then, I’ve been biting my nails but now they’re healthier and I hate it that I keep biting them. So I got this and it works! YES, IT’S GOING TO HAVE A BITTER TASTE. That’s the point! People complain that it gets on their food. I have to disagree. The first time I ate a snack, I forgot it was on and when I put the food in my mouth with my hand, I tasted the polish but it did NOT get ON my food. Instead, I grabbed the popcorn with my fingers and put it in the palm of my hand, and then put it in my mouth. The popcorn did NOT taste like the nail polish even when I grabbed it with my fingers. When I ate chips, I grabbed them with my finger and made sure the tips of my fingers were at the bottom half of the chips so my fingers wouldn’t go in my mouth... again, my chips did not taste like the nail polish. It’s annoying to be cautious while I eat, floss, or wipe my mouth, but it’s only until I break this bad habit and it’ll be worth it. Lastly, I swear my nails grew over night. I only used it for two days so far. I applied in the morning and when I woke up the next day, they looked A LITTLE BIT longer. I also like the fact that it literally dries in a minute or less. I’ve only used on bare nails so I’m not sure if the drying time would be the same with regular polish under it. Maybe I’ll come back on in a month and do an updated review. I already took the before picture so I’ll see what it looks like in a month. UPDATE: it’s been 7 days since I used it. I LOVE THIS STUFF! I put on a new coat every day. I started last Sunday, and now it’s Saturday and I took the polish off and added a new coat. My nails grew like crazy within the first week. My nails have NEVER grown that fast and they have never been this strong. Too bad this nail polish taste horrible because otherwise I would use it as my go to. I don’t want to stop using it but eventually I will have to. It’s literally a miracle polish. The only thing I didn’t like (besides the taste) is the fact that it peels off easily. After washing dishes and/or taking a shower, I notice that some of the polish either came off or it would be peeling off, which is why I applied a new coat daily. I can’t wait to see what my nails will look like in a month.

The polish doesn’t stay on very long. It starts coming off the next day. But the bitterness stays on your nails for weeks!

Really does the trick but I forget sometimes when I eat finger foods—yuk.

Update - I've now been using this for 18 days (2/27 - 3/16) and I have not bitten or chewed even one time. It really works and I couldn't be happier! I have been chewing my nails for my entire life. I have never found anything that worked. The stuff you can buy in a store tastes a little bitter but eventually you get used to that and can continue to chew. Also, that stuff is very watery and doesn't stay applied for very long. This product tastes absolutely horrible! It is by far the most disgusting taste for a nail biting deterrent that I have ever experienced. And it actually applies like nail polish so it sticks around. I have only had it for a day but I have not engaged in even the least bit of chewing since I've put this stuff on my fingers. I've made the mistake of putting a finger in my mouth and immediately it tastes horrible. And I only does it taste horrible, but the taste lingers in your mouth in the back of your throat. I think I have finally found something that's going to end my finger chewing and nail biting for good!

Title says it all. The kids hate it. So it works. Has enough staying power for even determined biters.

It totally does what it promises. It stays about a week. So you have to keep reapplying till you get rid of the habit.

もうすぐ3歳になるこどもが、眠いときの指しゃぶりをやめれなくて、歯並びに影響するので購入。 めちゃくちゃにがいらしく、塗ったあと指しゃぶりしたときに泣いて悶絶してました。 数日効いていたけど、目を離したすきに捨ててました… また買い直さないと…と思ったけど値上がりしてて断念。 また前と同じ値段か安くなったら買います…

It is quite effective and has a got a bitter taste which u won't forget for some time.But since I'm from India and I use my hands for having food,its quite difficult for me to adjust as whatever I eat with my hand is bitter from the Polish,now I have to learn how to use a spoon properly.

商品の色は写真のような透明ではなく、オレンジっぽい色でした。 爪に塗って試しにペロっとなめてみました。 半端なくおいしくないです。 いつまでもしつこいくらいに苦みが残っていて、唇をなめただけでも慌てるくらいに苦いです。 これなら何十年も治らなかった癖が治りそうです。 お子さんに使用する場合、ご自身で味見してから使用された方がいいと思います。
