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

This product is actually pretty good. I was really worried after reading the critical comments I would get one that was dried out, but thankfully it wasn't. I was also worried based on other customer reviews that it was too liquidy and wouldn't cut it, though it was pretty thin it did the job. As you can see in the pictures I didn't get crazy with the polish mostly because I was using a gel nail polish and it was pretty thick (also I didn't want to waste any). It did still pool a bit in the edges of my nail towards the base of my fingers, but I think that was mostly from me being afraid to miss painting the border of my nails. I was also surprised to find that when I was removing the tape that it was very elastic, but once I started using it more I found a way to work with it. And Though it did seem to miss a few spots (very little) it works 10x better than what I was using before, which was actually a glue based peel off base coat. I only really have 2 negative things to say about it, 1. It has a bit of a funk to it, it was fishy. It kinda smelled like salmon. But it's not overwhelming more like a faint lingering smell. And 2. I noticed as I was using it (closing it after each time), when I would open it back up it had dried on the mouth of the bottle and would pull away when you removed the brush allowing the risk of it dropping down into the bottle and making it lumpy. But otherwise I love it. I was nervous initially because everyone has their own brand that works for them but I hadn't yet found mine and I didn't want it to be another time where I wasted my money. But it was a risk that paid off.

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.

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.

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.

This product worked exactly how it said it would. It was my first experience with the latex tape so of course I was a little skeptical. I applied the tape to my fingers and it was a pastel pink. It dried in 1-2 minutes (as it said it would) and turned a more clear looking pink when dry. I didn't really notice a smell that others are claiming they can smell. I didn't do any nail art, but used this product so I wouldn't have to clean up the skin around my nails with nail polish remover after doing my nails. I painted my nails as usual, let them dry, then pealed off the tape. It came off super easy and there was NO CLEANUP NEEDED. Not one drop of polish got onto my skin! Next time I wont wait for my nails to be dry before removing the tape and I will remove it after my topcoat is applied. This is a great product and I will definitely use it again next time I paint my nails!

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.

The applicator brush arrived damaged. It's worse in person, the picture doesn't accurately capture the way the long stray bristles extend past the normal area of the applicator When trying to apply the product, it did not seem to dry fully and the nail polish itself also lifted during removal of the latex.

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.

I can’t compare to any other latex nail products. I was surprised that it took more than a couple of minutes to dry. And it didn’t quite peel off like I’ve seen in so many you tube videos. Maybe it wasn’t applied thick enough.

Absolute garbage, old product not usable ,i bearly took brush out because its already hardened, and way overpriced

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.
