Ellie Chase Stop Nail Biting Deterrent Treatment Polish Extra Bitter Taste 0.5 Oz | Stop Putting Fingers In Your Mouth | Safe For Adults & Kids | Helps Nail Growth Made in USA | DBP Free, TPHP Free

Works great, I’m a chronic nail biter but this rubs off on things so easily. Even a second on my lips it’ll leave it’s horrible taste like a punishment reminding me to no even try, it’ll even stay on the skin of the nail so I don’t bite that either, only thing is that it sometimes leaves it’s taste on food when I eat with my hands and I can’t lick my fingers clean when I eat chips but it’s made for thumbsucking too so it really does work like a charm Update: now a month in and it works amazing. Though my nails are extremely fragile and can bend whatever direction. I doubled it with the nail horse nail strengthener but it hasn’t improved much. To be fair it’s been a lifetime of nail biting so it may take a while to gain their strength

I bought this back in May of 2024. The first picture was where I started with my nail journey. Second picture was a month later June 2024. Last picture is today, June 2025. Just over a year later. This stuff really works. I’ve tried so many different no bite nail polishes and this was the only one that worked. I used it until the urge to bite was gone, around ~2 months if I remember correctly. I reapplied every 2 or so days to keep the polish fresh so it continued to work and have that gross taste and I barely put a dent in the bottle. Now the taste of this thing is gross. If memory serves correct it just tastes really bitter and chemically and lingered for a while on the tongue and lips so it really deterred. I’m so happy I was finally able to kick my nail biting habit that I’ve had for over 20+ years. This and some cuticle oil will take you far.

I recently started using the Ellie Chase Stop Nail Biting Deterrent Treatment Polish, and I’m genuinely impressed with its effectiveness. This product has been a real game-changer in helping me break the habit of nail biting. The extra bitter taste is just as advertised—extremely unpleasant, which is exactly what I needed to deter me from putting my fingers in my mouth. The taste is strong enough to be a powerful deterrent, but it's not so harsh that it causes discomfort or irritation. I appreciate that this treatment is safe for both adults and kids, making it a versatile option for families looking to tackle nail-biting issues. It’s also reassuring to know that it’s DBP-free and TPHP-free, which aligns with my preference for products with fewer potentially harmful chemicals. The polish applies easily and dries quickly, leaving a clear finish that doesn’t interfere with the appearance of your nails. Over time, I’ve noticed a positive change in my nail growth. Not only am I less inclined to bite my nails, but my nails are also growing stronger and healthier. Made in the USA, this product feels high-quality and reliable. Overall, the Ellie Chase Stop Nail Biting Deterrent Treatment Polish is an excellent tool for anyone struggling with nail-biting. It effectively discourages the habit while supporting healthier nail growth. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to overcome this common issue.

I remembered this stuff from when I was little and my mom was trying to get me to stop biting my nails. Well, I did eventually stop, then started again. And stopped. Started again. Stopped. Etc. This last time though I've had a harder time than I ever have with quitting. I felt like I needed something extra because while I've tried to redirect my chewing to a silicone necklace, I keep forgetting it and absentmindedly going to town on my nails without even realizing that's what I'm doing. Then I remembered this stuff, looked it up... here it is! The same awful taste I remember... only this time it's more effective because I want to quit, lol. As a kid, I would just chew off all the nail that had this polish on it without letting my tongue touch any of it, then just go right back to chewing my nails as normal. Now, it actually does deter me from the absentminded snacking, which I wanted it to do. I haven't touched my nails in days now. I don't even try to do it most of the time now. Occasionally I slip, and I get reminded of why I don't bite them now, lol. It wears off within 2-3 days enough that it requires re-application. A big negative about it is if you're eating anything with your fingers that's wet (in my case, it was hot boiled peanuts), it will get into the food that you're eating and make it taste awful too. It is not waterproof in this sense. That awful taste I'm talking about can best be described as a chemical taste, much what I would imagine something like bleach or acetone must taste like.

Works well but if you’re an obsessive nail biter like me your taste buds will start to get used to the taste and it will start becoming ineffective within around 12 hours. ALSO a major downside and the reason I’m giving only 3 stars is because if this stuff gets down inside your finger like on the edges of your finger nail you can very easily get an infection that causes puss to form and of course needs a whole process to treat. So I’ve had to resort to very carefully applying this to only the middle of my nails. It still works that way but is now tedious to apply

I never bite my nails when this product is on them because it tastes very bitter.

My girlfriend tried it out of curiosity, and little by little the flavor began to be so intense that she vomited in just a minute, she ate, washed, and for nothing in the world did the strong taste go away, it makes her gag, it's for My 3-year-old daughter, I think that being a baby would be even stronger and could cause stomach damage or some poisoning, then I tested it to see if I was exaggerating, AND NO, I DID NOT EXAGGERATE, I swear I put less than a drop on my finger I just touched it, and my god, it's very, very strong, I don't think I could even sleep, it's absolutely very strong for a child who avoids thumb sucking mi novia lo probo por curiosidad , y poco a poco el sabor comenzo a ser muy intenso que llego a vomitar en tan solo un minuto , comio , se lavo y por nada del mundo el sabor fuerte se le quita , le produce arcadas , es para mi hija de 3 años , creo que siendo un bebe seria aun mas fuerte y podria causarle daño al estomago o alguna intoxicacion , luego lo rpobe yo psra ver si exageraba , Y NO , NO EXAGERA , juro que puse en mi dedo menos de una gota , simplemente lo toque , y dios mio , es muy pero muy fuerte , creo que ni podria dormir , absolutamente lo veo muy fuerte para un niño que evita chuparse el dedo

This is literally the best polish I have ever bought for nail biting. I have been biting my nails since I was about 4 years old and I am now 33 still biting my nails to nothing! So far I have worn this polish for a month and I have not bitten my nails because of the extreme bitter taste, I don't even think about it anymore! And I am obsessed with the fact this has no scent either!

I have 6 year old. I'm desperately trying to stop her from sucking a finger. The polish worked for about 2 days, but after that kid got use to the horrible taste... Does the polish taste horrible? Yes. Did it achieve my goal? No.
