Liquid Palisade

If you don't have a very steady hand and find that you get more nail polish on your cuticles and surrounding skin than you do on your nails then check out Liquid Palisade. Sounds a bit scientific doesn't it!

  It's a peel off barrier which you paint all around your nail bed. You need to build up a couple of layers to ensure you can peel it off easily.

 Once dry you can go ahead and paint your nails as slap dash as you want knowing that you can simply peel off the barrier. 

Excuse my bloody awful nails!

It applies as a thick lilac liquid and dries off to a deep purple. It's made from rubber latex and is perfectly safe on the skin, providing you don't have a latex allergy!

As you can see I quite literally slapped nail polish on in my usual haphazard fashion.

 Once it's fully dry, paint your nails as normal and leave to dry off before simply peeling off the rubber barrier.
 It peels off in one without breaking and doesn't dry or pull the surrounding skin.

There is also a special Liquid Palisade for creating a French Manicure or nail art. It has a super fine brush so you can use it as a barrier to get a straight edge to your French nails.
 These are $14.00 each (around £10.00).
