PUEEN 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.

The smell will always be there, like nasty rubber, but it's easy to use and dries quickly. Great product.

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.)

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 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.

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.

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.

Absolute garbage. Stuff never dries and stays sticky so if you bump it on something it rips completely off. I wish I had fire powers so I could incinerate this bottle. The anger I feel may stay with me for the rest of my life
