Vernis Amer - Bitter Polish

Eat greens, not your nails.
Manucurist’s Bitter Polish is a targeted solution for nail-biters of all ages (12+). With a distinct bitter taste, it discourages nail biting while working behind the scenes to restore and strengthen damaged nails. Powered by a unique blend of dimethylsulfone, silicon, plant keratin, amino acids, and apricot kernel oil, this plant-based polish supports healthier nail growth by nourishing, hardening, and repairing the nail plate—one coat at a time.

Benefits:

• Bitter taste helps curb nail-biting habits
• Strengthens and densifies the keratin network
• Remineralizes and repairs the nail plate
• Intensely nourishes with apricot kernel oil
• Gentle, plant-based formula safe for use from age 12

How to Use:

Apply to clean, dry nails.
Let air dry completely.
Reapply every two days without removing the previous coat.
To remove, use Green or Green Flash™ gentle nail polish remover.

Loshen & Crem's Recommendation:

Bitter Polish is ideal for clients struggling with compulsive nail biting—whether stress-induced or habitual. It's also a thoughtful option for teens looking to break the cycle. We especially love how it doesn’t just deter the habit—it helps repair the damage with every application.
