Stop & Grow Stop Biting Nail Solution

Stop & Grow Stop Biting Nail Solution 7.5 ml is an anti-bite nail care solution formulated to help adults and children (aged 5 years and over) break the habit of nail biting and thumb sucking. The invisible, odourless liquid dries clear and leaves an extremely bitter taste on nails and cuticles on contact, discouraging unwanted nibbling and chewing.

With regular use, many users notice longer, healthier-looking nails within about three weeks, reducing damage and improving appearance. Its discreet format makes it suitable for daily wear on natural nails without interfering with manicures or daily activities.

Key Features:

• Double-acting, bitter-tasting formula helps deter nail biting and thumb sucking.

• Invisible and odourless once dry — ideal for discreet use.

• Supports healthier nail growth with reduced biting urges.

• Suitable for both adults and children aged 5+ when used as directed.

Directions for use:

1. Ensure nails are clean and dry before application.
2. Shake the bottle gently and brush a thin layer over the entire surface of each nail and surrounding cuticle.
3. Allow the solution to dry completely before touching objects.
4. Reapply regularly, especially after washing hands, before bedtime or after eating.
5. Continue daily use for best results over several weeks to help form a new habit.
