Product Information
Full details
Ecrinal Bitter Nail Polish is an effective deterrent solution designed for children over the age of three and adults looking to break the habit of nail biting or thumb sucking. By applying an intensely bitter, invisible layer to the nails, it discourages the urge to bite while simultaneously promoting healthier nail growth and reducing the risk of skin infections. The primary caveat to note is that because the formula is designed to stay on the nail even through routine hand-washing, it requires an alcohol-soaked pad for complete removal, which may be inconvenient for those who switch products frequently.

FAQs
At what age can children start using this?
This product is formulated for children aged 3 years and older.
Will this ruin my regular nail polish?
You can apply this over your regular polish as a top coat, though it works best on natural, bare nails.
How long does the bitter taste last?
The taste is designed to last until you remove the polish with an alcohol-soaked pad, though it may fade slightly after multiple hand washes.
Can I use this on the skin around my nails?
Yes, the formula is designed to be safe for the surrounding skin to help prevent irritation caused by biting.
Does this contain parabens?
No, the Ecrinal Bitter Nail Polish is completely paraben-free.
How often should I reapply?
For best results, apply a fresh coat daily to ensure the protective barrier remains effective.
Troubleshooting
Polish feels thick or clumpy
Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent solvent evaporation.
Bitter taste seems less potent
Reapply a fresh layer, as the bitterness can diminish slightly with repeated hand washing throughout the day.
Difficulty removing the polish
Ensure you are using an alcohol-soaked cotton pad; regular nail polish remover may not be as effective for this specific formula.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the polish, simply unscrew the cap and use the attached brush to apply a layer over the entire nail plate, focusing on the tips where biting usually occurs. No base coat or top coat is required.
Care and Compatibility
- Storage: Store the bottle in an upright position in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the polish from thickening.
- Compatibility: The product is compatible with natural nails. If you use standard nail polish, apply the Bitter Polish as the final top coat to ensure the deterrent is the first thing tasted.
- Maintenance: If the brush becomes stiff, ensure the cap is tightened firmly after each use. To remove the polish, use a cotton pad soaked in standard isopropyl alcohol and wipe firmly across the nail surface.
