That has worked pretty well for us (Bailey's not
completely over the playful nipping, but I sort of figured that would be a battle for a while). When she snapped at you, was she acting hurt or threatened at all?
Recently Bailey has started something that we laugh at so hard, it's hard to decide how to handle it - or if it needs to be handled at all. Instead of biting (even playfully), she will give a few "air bites" (like air kisses, they don't come anywhere close to contact - usually at least an inch or two away from any skin surface) and then she'll start licking. It's really funny to watch, but I don't know if it should be stopped. Right now, I'm just laughing and enjoying it.
