Keep trying. It’s def worth it in the end. I never had any luck with bad tasting polish- I just soldiered on through the foul taste. haha Maybe it’ll be better for you though. If not, I know some people don’d like them but, I found that fake nails are a good idea for protection (and aesthetics) until your real nails are long enough. After that try a prof manicure once a month. It really helps.
Anyway, good luck!

I’m using Mavala Stop, and god! I put ONE nail in my mouth, and I’m sure the bitter taste will stay in my mouth & tongue for all day long ! You should try this one, I’ve tried some before but no luck with those, I got used to the taste, but I swear you can’t get used with this one. Disgusting !

I apply it every day, it goes away with handwashing and showers,

Good luck ;)
