Well, despite my initial hesitation at wearing nail polish in public, i gave it a go. You are right, it does taste disgusting.

I found it more useful as a reminder that i’m trying to give chewing my nails than a prevention though, and don’t bother with it anymore.

My nails are currently longer than they’ve ever been in my life, and are an endless source of fascination for me at the moment. I still find myself on the verge of biting a fingernail every now and then though, but am now able to consciously catch myself in the nick of time -
