If you are into a habit of wearing and removing your nail polish every now and then, then you sure must be aware of the hassles of using a nail polish remover. Not only it is inconvenient to use, but the acetone based remover can also pose damage to your cuticle. Nail polish also tends to get chipped off very easily. So, sometimes you may feel as though you spend those hundreds of dollars on a manicure for nothing. If you bite your nails frequently, the whole effort may seem entirely futile. A good option to protect your nails and save your money is peel off nail polish!
What is a Peel Off Nail Polish?
If you are familiar with the peel off nail polish for kids, let me tell you that the paint and peel nail polish you find for yourself are rarely any different from the kids' version, only they are to be worn by adults. Peel off nail polish does not require you to remove it with a nail polish remover. Thus, your nails are relieved off the assault of harsh chemicals in the acetone remover. Besides, there is also no need for a top coat and a base coat while applying the nail polish. Its water based formula makes it easier to apply and remove. It takes only seconds to dry completely. Thus, you can wear it and immediately go out without any curing time in between. Whenever you wish to remove the nail polish, you can simply start peeling it off from the edges and it comes out as a whole. Thus, you can virtually try on a new shade of this non toxic nail polish (yes, it's free of formaldehyde, toluene and phthalates, most hazardous yet common ingredients) without posing any threat to the health of your cuticle.
However, one must not expect too much from this product. The companies which make this product market it as 'makeup for your nails'. This means you should only expect it to last as long as you would expect your mascara or eyeliner to last. Women get disappointed when the nail polish chips off in less than 24 hours. However, one must understand that this product is not designed for long term use at all. It is best suited for women you get easily tired with the same shade of nail polish and wish to change it too often. Since, this product does not need nail polish remover, you can easily take it with you on holidays. Funnily, some people derive immense pleasure from peeling the nail polish from their nails. In that case, do not expect it to last more than a day!
Reviews
Peel off nail polish is a concept from a cosmetic company named Sula. Needless to say, Sula's paint and peel line of nail polish is very famous. You get an array of exciting colors of nail enamel to choose from. Bright pink and periwinkle blue are some commonly picked colors from this collection. Sula's paint and peel collection is priced at about $9. However, you can get a pack of three nail polish bottles for $14 (check if they still have that offer where you are). Urban Outfitters is yet another cosmetic company which has its own line of peel off nail polish. The colors are somewhat similar on the lines of Sula collections, however at $8, these products are priced a little cheaper than Sula.
Peel off nail polish is a temporary adornment for your nails and should be perceived in that way only. Thus, if you keep your expectations realistic, you are less likely to get disappointed by these products.
