Mavala Stop Deterrent Nail Polish Treatment Stops Putting Fingers In Your Mouth, For Ages 3+, 5 ml (Pack of 1)

Amazing product. Does what it says on the tin. I’ve bitten my nails for almost thirty years. I once stopped biting them for about six months but only because they were in artificial nails always. But there’s never been a time where I’ve had them exposed and not bitten. It’s been a real battle. My nails have therefore always looked bitten, unhealthy, malnourished and quite disgusting. I could only go on dates if I had fake nails. Playing pool, typing, holding a microphone or even gesturing became quite embarrassing with these nasty nails. I always felt embarrassed and disappointed in my self. I decided to try a bitter tasting polish as a fix. Best decision ever! This one tastes so Terrible and each coat lasts for days so you only have to reapply every 3-5 days depending on how often you wash. That means even though it’s a small bottle, it will last you months. I started using this on the 23rd of September 2018 and because of how bitter it tasted, the aversion started immediately. I stopped biting immediately but would initially still try to just have the fingers around my mouth but the taste is so nasty and long lasting that i actually became used to keeping my hands away from my mouth and even hated the idea of my hands going near my face. Do keep the bottle tightly sealed and clean as mine leaked and so it’s almost empty. However, even though I only used it for six weeks, I’ve now stopped biting my nails and instead obsess about having a healthy nail care regime which consists of pushing the cuticles back, painting them and applying nail hardener. My nails have grown leaps and bounds as you can see from the before and after photos (taken 6-7 weeks apart). I can now have a full manicure, paint them and flaunt my nails. They look amazing, I get complements from friends and family but they are quite weak due to extended Time spent biting for almost 30 years plus lots of gels, acrylic and stick on nails. So I am now rather focused on treating them and getting them strong and healthy. I can’t explain the joy, peace, confidence and freedom I feel from using this. It’s honestly changed my life. My family and friends are so proud of me. Thank God. Cheers to the manufacturers of this and the amazon seller. I’m so grateful: you changed my life.

Its been almost 3 weeks now and from the first time i put this on my children i have made them aware of what it's is,what it does, and why I am doing this to them. I have made them both taste on their nails. And every couple of days I put it on them without a fuss. They are only too willing to participate.... Bought this for my daughter and son as they both suck their thumbs(used to suck) I should say now with the help of this. They both were so addicted they could be walking down the road sucking their thumbs. They didn't care where or when they did it. From the first night putting this on my daughter(4) and tasting it she hasn't attempted to suck her thumb or I haven't seen her anyway and she was almost constantly doing it whenever she had a chance. It has well and truly put her off. And when asking her if she wants too I get a strange face with eewww no yucky.. my son(3) the first night he woke up crying I not sure if that's cos he tried to suck during sleep or If was a night terror as he had been suffering from them after being poorly with a very high temperature. He also is not wanting anything to do with his thumb now though.. no mummy yukky i get too.... I have also put on both my kids finger nails also as didn't want them stopping sucking thumbs and going to sucking their fingers instead. One bad habit to another. While doing this they have also stopped biting finger nails. Which wasn't so much of a problem for them but they don't do it at all now... I would definitely reccomend this to any parent who needs their child to stop sucking their thumb. I thought that it wouldn't work as their nails are so small but I have tried, and it doesn't only taste bad but lingers and spreads around the mouth. Leaving an awfully fowl uncomfortable bitter after taste in the mouth..They even made their big sister (22) suck their thumb as a joke and she gave a right good suck unaware that when she stopped the taste would rear it's ugly head.. the look on her face was a picture it just said it all..!!!!

This stuff is great at preventing nail biting - it’s truly vile and the taste lingers for ages to remind you of your sins. A word of caution however - to get the potent chemicals to your tastebuds, this stuff has to be slightly water soluble even when “dry.” Water can be from saliva, or it can be the moisture in a filet of Scottish salmon that you are lovingly preparing for dinner. As the salmon can’t object to the taste (it’s a fillet), you will quickly transfer all of the polish from your nails to your meal. It goes without saying that this completely ruins the meal and you will be left eating baked beans on toast instead. Not that I have anything against beans on toast, but I wanted salmon. Here endeth the lesson…

Amazing! My daughter has sucked her thumb since she was 3 months old and is soon turning 5. I was sceptical whether this would work. We’ve had two applications in two weeks and she’s stopped sucking it, even at bed time which is where I was expecting the biggest challenge. It’s only been two weeks so watch this space, but so far so good!

My baby is 17 months old, and this worked in just one day. She started sucking her thumb around 3 months old and never took a pacifier. Since then, she always sucked her thumb in the car seat and while sleeping. I honestly found it hard to look at, but I planned to address it closer to age two, when she might better understand. Recently, she started sucking much more aggressively. The skin on her thumb became raw, cracked, and scabbed over, and it clearly looked painful. It also wasn’t healing even after a long time. I knew she was still very young, but at that point I decided to try this product. I do want to mention that the taste is extremely bitter. The first time she put her thumb in her mouth, she immediately stuck her tongue out, smacked her lips, and clearly hated the taste. She kept making faces and licking her lips in confusion — but that bitterness is exactly what made this work. The result was a complete success. She stopped sucking her thumb after just one day. The first night, she tossed a little in her sleep but didn’t cry and slept through the night. I plan to continue applying it for another 1–2 weeks just to be safe. I’m incredibly grateful for this product — the bitterness may be unpleasant, but it is truly effective.

Ho provato diversi smalti per non mangiare le unghie e questo è tra i migliori. Ha un ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. È un forte deterrente visto la particolare amarezza. Bisogna metterlo quotidianamente per un perfetta riuscita. Perde un po' la sua efficacia se non utilizzato per qualche mese.

Bij bv fruit op de hand eten proef je de bittere smaak. Ik proefde hem de hele dag door. Blijft zeker 4 dagen werken.

It honestly works! I had tried everything and would always “get used” to the taste 😆 This product is expensive but it is worth every penny!! It lasts even if you shower, if you wash hands, days later - it’s still there. So absolutely you have no escape! If you’re in doubt, look no further - I was so dubious about spending the money and being another waste… but no way. Trust me… I hardly ever leave a review but I had to this time as I want to help people who are on the fence like I was!! It is amazing 🤩

Been a lifelong nail biter. I'm worst in the car where I do it absentmindedly. Was a bit sceptical about how good this stuff would be, or how long lasting it would last, but my fears turned out to be unfounded. It is awesome, tastes disgusting, and it very hard wearing. It's almost invisible unless you're really looking close, and the few times I've forgotten about it, and started to bite a nail, I'm given a very swift reminder not to do it again. The taste is bitter, and stays in the mouth long enough for you to not want to do it again. I sit here about two weeks into using it - nails are growing back nicely, no more sore fingers - nails are actually starting to catch on surfaces if I rub my fingertips over things. Amazing. I imagine I'll keep up the treatment for another couple of weeks, then stash the little bottle somewhere, and if I start to slip back into old habits, just do some shorter treatments as necessary, but I'm hoping this will help me break the association completely. If you want to stop - couldn't recommend this stuff highly enough.
