A harmless, yet effective product that helps adults and children break the nail biting habit.

Nail biting is a very bad habit which often becomes uncontrollable for many adults and children.

MAVALA Stop is a harmless, transparent formula with a distinct bitter taste. It can be used alone or over color. It will stop you from putting fingers to your mouth and biting your nails. Also recommended for children who suck their thumbs.

Directions:

Apply one coat of MAVALA Stop on the entire nail and allow it to dry for one minute. Repeat the application every two days until you have broken the habit of biting your nails.

After 10 days, your nail should have grown normally but may require strengthening! We would then recommend our nail hardener MAVALA Scientifique and Nail Cream to complete the beauty of your "new" nails.

Ingredients:

Ethyl Acetate, Alcohol Denat., PVM/MA Copolymer, Phthalic Anhydride/Trimellitic Anhydride/Glycols Copolymer, Butyl Acetate, Acetyl Tributyl Citrate, Sucrose Octaacetate, Denatonium Benzoate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Benzophenone-1, D&C Violet No. 2.

It's working!
Reviewer: Tyra from Laurel, MD   2009-04-24

I just used this for the first time tonight for my little guy (17months). He and my niece (2 years) are determined thumb suckers. He threw up once so far after sucking his thumb the stuff tastes so bad. He cried a bit so I see a lot of hugs, cuddles and support in our future....but for the first time he's sleeping without sucking his thumb! YAHOO! Now maybe that blister will finally heal....Next is my niece!

Awesome & horrible!!!!

I was recently recommended this product and bought it for my 4 year old daughter. I have tried many tricks to get her to quit sucking her pointer finger for the past 2 years. She used to have her finger in her mouth ALL the time, tv, car, bed, you name it! She actually threw up 3 times on the first day I applied to her fingernails - it tasts that BAD! At first I wasn't sure if I'd made a mistake using it. But she has not once put her finger in her mouth since! I can't even believe it. It must have made a psychological break with the comfort she was receiving from sucking. I'm so thrilled. (And kinda feel bad.)

OMG Something that works!!! FINALLY!!!

I can't begin to tell you how happy I am with Mavala Stop. I'm a 25y.o. male, and have been biting my nails since pre-school (old home videos don't lie!). I have tried EVERYTHING; Thum, hot sauce, horseradish, you name it and it didn't work for me. I bought a bottle a few months ago, and it only took a few times of this horrible, bitter, LINGERING taste in my mouth to finally give up this habit that's plagued me nearly my whole life. I have not been putting it on for a few weeks now, and my nails are still there! Occasionally I'll catch myself nibbling on a rough edge, so I've started keeping nail clippers at work/home/car so I can take care of it right away. Then I'll usually put on a new coat just to reinforce the not-biting! :-D Only issue is that sometimes it'll rub off when eating with my hands, so I get a nice dash of awfulness with my sandwich or french fries. Otherwise, this stuff is liquid gold and I would recommend it (and have) to anybody trying to get their fingers out of their mouth. THANK YOU MAVALA!!!!

The taste disappears quickly
Reviewer: Heather from Central Coast, CA   2009-02-27

This stuff works! But then I forgot about it for a little bit and was back to my old nail biting ways. I tried it again yesterday and there is no gross taste anymore! Its like it evaporated from the bottle. It just seems like regular clear polish now. :-( I've only had it for 5 months. Time for a new bottle!

Works Wonders
Reviewer: SJH1542 from St. Louis, MO   2009-02-11

My son is 5 1/2 and has always sucked his thumb. We thought it would get better as he got older, but it actually got worse. We tried every tip that people gave us. We decided to talk to the orthodontist because my sons teeth were starting to push forward from sucking his thumb. He recommended this product before we put the "bar" in his mouth. It worked immediately. The first night he tried to put his thumb in his mouth twice, he hated it. He has not even tried since. We are on day 6 and will keep it on for a couple weeks just to make sure, but so far I am thrilled!!!
