Liquid Palisade is a liquid that quickly turns to rubbery latex as it dries. It can be used to protect the cuticles from nail polish and then simply peeled off for quick cleanup. It can also be used for fun nail art instead of tape. The great thing about this is that it contours to the nail leaving no annoying gaps for polish to slip under as it can with tape. And the best part is that when dry, it can be gently pushed and shaped to the desired placement, in case you are not very steady with the brush!
It comes in a small lipgloss sized tube and has enough product for at least 50 manicures. The brush is very soft and easy to work with....
I tried it out in a few different ways...
I tend to avoid creating half moon manicures because I hate struggling with reinforcement stickers. At least the ones that I have never stick quite right and I always end up with polish seeping under them. This is a much easier and less frustrating way to achieve the same half moon look...
Note: Liquid Palisade changes color as it dries from lilac to a darker purple so it is easy to tell when it is dry. See the color difference in step 2. It is dry along the half moon edge and on the cuticle, but still wet in the middle of the half moon...
You know how much I love stamping, but there are some stamping polishes that are a pain in the behind to clean up afterwards. I can't even tell you how good it felt to just peel away the mess and not have to worry about cleanup. Granted, this isn't the messiest stamping example here, but it would work perfectly regardless. Notice in the 2nd step that I got a bit of the product on my polish, when I only intended to have it on the cuticles. When it was dry, I just moved it out of the way with another nail and it stayed put...
Obviously you can also do a combination of nail art and cuticle protection at the same time. I had to try it with sponging as it is one of the messiest manicures that I love to do. I added a few squiggly lines just for fun. Everything peeled of beautifully leaving no mess behind (except where I didn't have Liquid Palisade)...
Water marble fans... hint, hint... cleanup doesn't get easier than this!
OK, I didn't intend for this to be a full manicure, but here are my three nail art attempts all together...
A few quick Liquid Palisade pointers...
Avoid if you have latex allergies!
