Good Latex Barrier for Price
I'm trying every liquid latex barrier that I've heard of no matter the cost to compare. So far I've only used three different ones: Bliss Kiss Simply Peel ($12.47), Kiesque Liquid Palisade Thin Brush ($14.00), and now this Pueen Latex Tape ($8.99). So I will be comparing the Pueen to the other two.
My initial thought when I first used this was that it was very liquidy. But that didn't seem to make much a difference for application. It went on smoother than Simply Peel and covered more area than the Kiesque (although that's because I got the thin brush).
The smell was terrible. They all have a fishy smell, but if I were to rate the smells on a scale of 5, this one would get a 2. If you are really sensitive to smells, I would suggest going for the Kiesque. I don't notice much of a smell for that one.
For the most part, I liked Pueen's latex barrier. I would rate it 5 stars, but I noticed that when I peeled it off after doing my nail art, some of the stuff stayed in my cuticles and I had to practically dig the little bits of latex out. There's not much of a purpose to liquid latex if it doesn't peel all the way off.
For now I use the Kiesque for my cuticles and then put the Pueen around that to avoid that issue. I haven't had any issues with drying too fast like I did with Simply Peel. If you don't really feel like shelling out $14.00 for Kiesque, this is a good alternative.
