Latex Tape Peel Off Cuticle Guard Skin Barrier Protector Nail Art Liquid Tape 15ml Pink - BH000584

I am a ‘Do it yourselfer’ for my own manicure and I have three different reasons. First, it saves me the expense, and secondly, I do not have to drive any place and hunt for a parking spot. My third reason is I can do my own manicure at my own convenience any time in the evening and at the end of the day, instead of the hassle of scheduling an appointment according to the manicurist’s available timetable. However, there is a small compromise for this convenience. I am right-handed, therefore when I use my right hand to paint the nails on my left hand, my nail polish comes out okay, but when I work left-handed to paint my nails on my right hand, I receive terrible results. My left-handed attempts are poor, my hand starts to shake, and the polish gets all over my fingers on my right hand. In addition, since I am far-sighted any close-up work becomes a blur. Therefore, I spend too much time trying to correct all my mistakes with nail polish remover, and mess up the polish on the sides of my fingernails and my cuticles. Additionally, sometimes I’m too aggressive and when I try to dig off the extra polish from my skin, the skin around my fingers starts to bleed. This latex liquid tape just takes a few seconds to apply around each fingernail and it saves sooo much clean-up time. Furthermore, it saves me from the pain of digging out the polish from my skin around my nails. Before I start my manicure, I brush the pink latex all around my fingernail, let it dry for a minute or two, and then continue with my normal manicure. After the last top coat is dry, I use tweezers to grab one end of the latex tape, and it peels off in one long elasticized strip. As it peels off, it removes all the excess polish from around each fingernail, leaving an almost perfect and flawless result. For me, the Pureen latex peel off liquid tape is a mistake-proof solution, within a few seconds this liquid tape removes all the excess polish from the around my nails and the cuticles. It eliminates all the mistakes that I’ve made due to my shaking left hand, and my less than perfect eyesight.

I really love using this liquid latex! It is easy to apply, dries quickly, and peels perfectly. I use it to protect my cuticles from stamping and sponging, and I also use it on the nail (over dry polish) with striping tape to mask off certain areas. It works best if you peel while the polish is still wet. It definitely smells bad, but so does basically everything associated with doing nails. I don't think it is significantly more offensive than acetone or polish; I only really notice the smell if I get the open bottle too close to my face. It will stick to itself, even when dry, so either work one finger at a time or be careful not to touch your fingers together.

Ordered this for my wife. This is her review: Product does what it's supposed to, and is *mostly* easy to use and fool-proof. Caveats are 1. One hand at a time. Don't let your fingers come CLOSE to each other when they've got this on the skin because once it touches, both fingers will pull off whether you want them to or not! 2. Takes practice to do it on your dominant hand without getting on the nail. Don't give up. 3. DO NOT, under any circumstances, allow the polish you put on your nails after applying this around the cuticles to dry before pulling up this product! IT WILL NOT REMOVE THE POLISH, and you will be left with a "fringe" edge of polish. I didn't think about that, and in an attempt to save product, thought I'd wait until after I applied the second coat of polish to take this product off (so as not to "waste" by applying this for each layer - I was attempting a geometric nail art pattern using 3 colors in 3 steps). After polish has been successfully applied, remove this product (and the errant polish on it) IMMEDIATELY - especially if it's glitter!! Reapply if necessary for subsequent nail art designs. Just trust me on this one. 4. It smells. Not *horrible* (like I've read in reviews for less-expensive products like this), but enough to be noticeable. Upon removal of the product, the smell does not linger long (wash your hands when your nails are dry and the smell disappears entirely). Don't let it deter you from using this product. All in all, it takes some practice and there's a learning curve, but it's well worth the price - especially if you enjoy doing nail art that can get messy (splatters, water marbling, sponging, etc.)

At times when I can't get to the salon (like during this covid-19 shelter-in-place order!), I sometimes try to paint my nails. It always looks like my manicurist is a far-sighted gorilla! Tragic. More polish is on my skin than my nails - on both hands. Tsk, tsk. I bought this because of a review in BuzzFeed, which I don't really take seriously but I thought, "Nothing can be worse than how I do it." SERIOUSLY low expectations. I got it today and once I figured out how to use it, I now believe it is a miraculous product! The tricks I've learned (on my 10 practice sessions...one for each finger) is to put it on kind of thickly and then wait for it to dry. A few minutes at least. The skin surrounding your finger should be kind of magenta-ish and not gooey anymore. Also, don't try to cover up your cuticle, but do get it super close to the gutters on either side of your nail. Go all the way around, maybe twice. If it gets on the nail where you want polish, wipe it off. It peels off super easily, it comes off in one long strip for me, so that's nicer than I thought. I wouldn't say I've achieved salon-level perfection, but I suspect that next time I do my nails at home, I will be even better at using this stuff. It's really terrific!

I love this product for it's purpose, which it does serve: easily surrounding your nails with a thin coat of latex that you can peel off after painting your nails. This stuff is a must for me now that I've discovered it, because I've never been able to "color inside the lines" when it comes to painting my nails. With this, I'm doing my nails more often. The latex serves its purpose. However, it dries out really quickly, which I found strange, because I didn't exactly leave it open for any stretch of time. I mean, more than half of the bottle is full, but it's dried out. It still works, and it's pretty cheap, so that's why I bought it again, and I probably would again. I will keep looking for another one that can beat this in function AND price, but until then, I'll stick to this. Even though it dries out fast, I still feel like I'm getting my money's worth. Also, prepare for a bit of a bad smell, especially the older it gets. Apparently, this is normal for this type of product, but it's not pleasant.

It's a keeper! This should be and everyone's toolbox that does nails. It really does help to confine the polish to where it belong! Don't be overconfident, and flood the cuticles, it won't save you from that! However, for small breaches, and sponging to create an ombre style, this is a must have!

I painted my own nails for the very first time and this helped majorly. I did watch more than one video on how to use liquid latex properly and that helped a ton. I had almost no nail polish to clean off when I was done, and I did apply the latex thickly because that was recommended on the video and the latex was easy to remove (and it did not take long to dry). It does have a gross fish like odor to it, so I was worried about how bad it would smell while doing my nails, but I actually could barely smell it unless I directly sniffed my nails or the bottle. I asked another person who was in the room if they could smell it and they said no. I also did not rinse my hands off when I was done and I'm still not detecting any odor. So the smell isn't really a big issue to me. Some reviewers said the bottle dries out quickly, but I've only used this once so I do not know if that is an issue. I showed someone my nails and they were very surprised it was my first time doing my own nails. I think this latex made a big difference in that! Overall I am very pleased.

This product works fine. It does smell fishy (I think it has ammonia), but I don't mind it and the smell eventually goes away. I like that it's liquid and easy to apply with the brush. I don't use this to keep my edges clean (for that, I just get a cleaning brush dipped in acetone and clean along the edges). I use this to keep my finger clean when doing nail stamping, so that I could just easily peel it off and not have to waste more time cleaning my fingers. It dries very fast, about 1 or 2 minutes. It doesn't dry clear, but it does dry into a darker pink. I do have some kind of skin condition on my fingers (eczema? Dyshidrosis?), and this latex can irritate my fingers, but the stinging wears off pretty quick. I don't like applying it on my "proximal nail fold", because the latex tends to get stick in there and I would need to pick out these tiny pieces. Be careful not to touch your fingers together, or the latex will stick to each other and cause each other to be pulled off. If this happens, just snip it apart with scissors. This is a pretty simple product to use. I give it a 4/5 because there are many other liquid latexs that you can use, this product isn't that unique. You could also just use mod podge or white glue if you want to use something cheaper or if you have a latex allergy. I will continue using this and will likely buy a new bottle once I use it all up.

Good

Love it! Wish I had known this stuff existed long ago. Could have saved me such a hassle over the years. Works great, easy to use. My only concern is that it dries really quickly so do I have to worry that the whole bottle may dry out over time? I'm worried that once I get to half a bottle it may be turning to a solid. Time will tell I guess. So far so good. Will update if I have issues.

Good quality, easy to apply and easy to peel off. However, it is just good for regular nail polish. It doesn’t work for UV gel polish.

I see that a lot of people have issues with temperature. I bought mine in summer and it came fine. Application isn’t too hard. (I recommend two coats) It is a bit hard to get along your cuticle line though and it may stick your fingers together if your fingers touch.

I lie in Canada and just received this on my front porch. I work from home so it wasn't outside for very long. When I tried to open the bottle the brush broke off and was stuck in a rubbery solid blob of latex. This is useless. I tried to let it thaw but bu it had hardened completely from the cold. Too bad, I had high hopes and now I have to go trough the exercise of dropping it off for return & refund.
