*UPDATE! girl_aglow on IG notified me of an indie brand, Cinema Swatch Lacquers and they have a similar bottled product for $3... It's called "That's a Wrap" and it consists of a latex derivative, aloe and a colorant. If $11 is too much for you and you're not allergic to latex, check that out as well :)*
I buy the cheap sticker nail forms, for forming acrylic nails, on Ebay and wear them backwards. It is a faster and easier way to cover the cuticle, sides, and some finger. It works great for gradients and water marble and really polishing for beginners.
this may sound strange, but I actually use eyelash glue around my nails! It works better than regular glue and I haven't been able to find liquid latex anywhere so it works pretty well for me. :)
I've just always used peel off base coat. I got it one year for Christmas and when I used it I just felt like I was wasting polish so I thought of putting it around my nails so it wouldn't stay on and I would have to use polish remover
Oh my goodness. Amazing. I have to try this out. I love how resourceful you are Janelle. Why spend $22 on a tiny thing when I can get a "giant" tub in comparison for half the price? :) Thanks for this video! P.S. Any nail haul videos? I liked the last one. It helps me find new colors.
elleandish // Janelle honestly, any video you will be fine. :) I'm excited to see if you could make a Totoro tutorial. There's no rush though! Anything Miyazaki Hayao would be cool. Just keep being you bc I like your positivity. :)
I recently purchased the same body latex in purple from Amazon. I used it when polishing my toenails and it worked great. I'm glad to see someone else using this instead of the expensive small bottles of latex meant for using while polishing your nails. I got 8 oz for $12. A lot cheaper and will last a very long time.
Janelle, you're a genius! It does make life easier when cleaning the cuticle area after gradients! I might try this out, I'd love to do a water marble design, but don't want to make a mess, so this is great!
PixiePrincess501 I should have added water marble as an example! Sigh. The next time I try it for a video I'll use it :) another nice thing about the giant 4oz tub is that we can be generous with application, especially for gradients and water marbling since we will be using a lot of latex :D thanks for watching!!
This is absolutely genius!! I have a lot of liquid latex left over from Halloween and it honestly was just going to sit in my makeup drawer until probably next year or whenever I wanted to do special effects makeup again but now I can use it up in a more efficient way! Thanks!!!!
I wish I could thumbs this up more than once! I've been searching for a dupe for the Liquid Perlise and looks like you found it! Thanks for all your hard work and the content you put out!
I tried to order the one that you have but it was £27 on Amazon uk so I bought a bottle of black liquid latex from eBay for £7 and it works perfectly and it will last ages. Thanks for the tip Janelle.
I just ran out of nail polish remover today and messed up doing nail art and wanted to take it off. Then I remembered that you uploaded this so I came and watched it because I hadn't yet, and YAY it worked!
This was so helpful, Janelle, thank you! I've been seeing Liquid Palisade all over the place lately on channels and blogs, and I really wanted to try it, but like you said- $22 for a little tube!? Heck no! Thank goodness we have you, Janelle- the nail artist/budget master/DIY queen! Haha! Do you think this would be available at Michael's? Also, if you didn't mind a small gap by the cuticle you could probably use the liquid latex and a really tiny paintbrush to apply some by the cuticle to avoid cuticle pooling. Thanks so much Janelle! :)
Rainbow Loominescence I tried doing a teeeensy little curved latex line onto the nail but the result was a little more wavy than I had hoped, haha! But perhaps if I practice I'll get better at making that line a little smoother! Thank you for watching as always :)
This is so cool! I think an interesting video would be to compare all of these options; the latex, glue, polish remover, tape, and Vaseline. So we can all get a complete overview
I made the elmers glue peel off base coat and it does work but it take a while to dry. However cleaning up with the base coat is a lot easier then use a brush and acetone alone
After watching this video this morning, I hunted all over my town for liquid latex body paint and found a big jar for ~$13!!! So happy you discovered this little hack :-D Also, I put a small portion in an empty polish bottle for storage/use and it works perfectly!!!
hey Janlle! I really hate the pulling at the cuticles, especially with sponge gradients. I usually use the OPI peel off base coat around my cuticles. it does take a long time to dry, but I take my time anyway so it doesn't become an issue for me. the other day I was doing a basic ombrè and discovered something. instead of keeping the base coat just on my skin, I (accidentally) put it on my nail. i put it around keeping the shape of my nail, and only putting it so far on my nail that i would leave space when painting my nails anyway. it was surprisingly easy and to my delight, I finally had a clean sponge gradient with no pulling! I bet this would be even easier with a thin brush like the one in liquid palisade, or just a plain thin paint brush. just thought i'd let you know, maybe that'd help you out! love your videos, erin (:
OMGG thank you so much! i was skeptical when i saw that little bottle of liquid palisade and thougt $22 isnt worth it. now that i saw you vid, i can get way more product for half price! thanks so much subscribing:)♡
I appreciate this sooooo much! The liquid palisade is much too expensive for me though I'm intrigued by it! lol I did some research of my own and I too discovered it's simply liquid latex. I've even looked watched recipe vids for making your own liquid latex. THANK YOU for posting a product, a VERY LARGE container at that, with a reasonable price. You're the bomb!
Wow thanks for the idea Janelle - I love it! I'm a beginner at doing nail art and gradients are messy as heck >< gonna try this out and hopefully it'll make gradients less painful
Where have u been all my life? Lolololol So happy I found this! Going to order that little tub from Amazon since that little pooling doesn't really bother me;)
I usually clean up the nail polish on my skin when I'm in shower, I found it really easy to just peel it off when my skin is submerged in hot water! Btw the part where you pulled the latex off the brush is so weirdly satisfying that I kept on rewatching that part haha :D
Thank you so much for this ever so helpful video! :) I don't enjoy cleaning up around my fingernails because sometimes I accidentally clean too much off and the polish on the sides of my nails come off also. You are the best Janelle!! :D
i like that you compared this to elmer's glue! haha it was kind of a 'mindblown' moment to use glue outside of the nail for clean up instead of just as a peel off base coat. My only problem with elmer's glue is that it doesn't always come off in one easy piece, the latex looks so simple to use! I definitely want to give this a try :)
Wow! I've never seen latex used like that! What an awesome idea! I hate pooling at my cuticle but I have tiny nail bed and tiny fingers so it seems like its impossible to not have that happen. I do use a flat edged brush with nail polish remove though which seems to help. I'll have to try this!
This was so helpful! I am awful at applying nail polish on myself and always get it all over the place. I'll definitely try it out!! Would you recommend applying a base coat before or after putting the latex body paint?
Very cool. Thanks for the tutorial. I am very particular when I do my nails. I have to clean each nail before I go onto the next one. I am going to try this.
I like to use tape for water marble!!! And I use a pointed q tip and remover on regular nail designs including sponging!! I also want to try a brush and remover for a cleaner look. :)
Pooling drives me insane, too. I'd have to still use a brush and remover for that when doing sponge gradients. But it's certainly a time-saver nonetheless. I'd give it a shot! Thanks for sharing.
I've recently seen the Palisade product all over instagram but I didn't know how expensive it is 😱😱 !! Gonna try the latex version of this video though I always clean my nails with a pencil and nail polish remover 😊💅
You can also use miss sporty peel off base coat and I have a latex allergie and it does not bother my skin. I don't think it works very well as a base coat but it does work around the nails
Thank for such a great, helpful video! I've been seeing people on Instagram using Liquid Palisade, and although it works great, I was not into dropping $22 bucks on a small product. I will definitely have to find myself a a jar of liquid latex now 😄
This was great! I actually just recently saw a demo of the pricier tube on Instagram the other day and thought how cool it'd be to be able to use it. Thanks for this video and alternative!
I also bought the latex body paint but after putting it around my nail and applying polish I waited for my polish to dry too! Bam! No pooling or stringy-ness! :)
thank you very much for this ye thats a great alternative love your vids!! i usually use the nail polish remover and my brush, i would probably use this for sponging but yea i dont like how it comes up at the cuticle so i may stick to what i do but i may try this and see anyway thankz for sharing! :)
Hey, about this swathing technique, you said it was a bit bumpy. Can you please try to use a topcoat or just a regular clear nail polish and see if there won't be any bumps? Maybe we could do creme nail polishes over it!♡
You should think about going to elementary schools to do demonstrations. I'm in school to be a teacher and this is an amazing example of using the scientific process! This would be great for those who don't think they'll ever use it in life! Nail polish isn't just a girly thing, it is grounded in science! You're breaking sterostypes and would be a great role model for my future students!!!!
Could you pour some liquid latex into an old nail polish bottle? And maybe trim the brush so it's like a lil striping brush? 💕 Idk if it would dry the brush out though! Love your videos Janelle 😘😘👌
Paige Lodge Yes I think you could do that! As long as the brush stays wet I don't think you will get that dried out brush issue that I had :) Smart idea!
22 is too much - and i liked that you gave us an alternative. But if would try it i would use it only for watermarble, also for loose glitter would be a good suggestion - other than that it would not be necesary because i barely get to my skin while painting . And i dont like that peel off near the cuticle neither :p haha ..even if i try it i will be using the remover becasue Im very picky i like a clean and perfect finish xD - thank you so much for this demo .. Love you ♡♡♡
katys2105j haha yes I think I'll just be using it for really messy cleanup like sponging and watermarbling.. I'm all for working on my painting skills on both hands ;)
Seeing you pull off the latex from the brush was so satisfying...
I KNOW RIGHT!?😄😃
rayennixi YES IT WAS RIGHT OMG!!!!!!!!!
That's why I watch Thus!!
*rayennixi OMG YASS IT WAS*

:D
elleandish // Janelle is this safe for the skin and nontoxic?
FrenchCocoCakes yeah if you get the body paint
?
FrenchCocoCakes even though latex is non-toxic, some people can have an allergic reaction so please make sure you're not allergic first!
I buy the cheap sticker nail forms, for forming acrylic nails, on Ebay and wear them backwards. It is a faster and easier way to cover the cuticle, sides, and some finger. It works great for gradients and water marble and really polishing for beginners.
Pistol~Vixen smart!
Thanks for sharing! :-)
this may sound strange, but I actually use eyelash glue around my nails! It works better than regular glue and I haven't been able to find liquid latex anywhere so it works pretty well for me. :)
tay tayyy good alternative! eyelash glue is normally latex based, so you're right in that it should work the same way
I've just always used peel off base coat. I got it one year for Christmas and when I used it I just felt like I was wasting polish so I thought of putting it around my nails so it wouldn't stay on and I would have to use polish remover
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
It's great that you focused on the people who don't have latex allergies so we have no accidents! Great video
Oh my goodness. Amazing. I have to try this out. I love how resourceful you are Janelle. Why spend $22 on a tiny thing when I can get a "giant" tub in comparison for half the price? :) Thanks for this video! P.S. Any nail haul videos? I liked the last one. It helps me find new colors.
h502star no hauls in the making at the moment, I have so much nail polish! Would seasonal hauls be helpful?
elleandish // Janelle Yes, seasonal hauls with swatches !!!
elleandish // Janelle honestly, any video you will be fine. :) I'm excited to see if you could make a Totoro tutorial. There's no rush though! Anything Miyazaki Hayao would be cool. Just keep being you bc I like your positivity. :)
I'd love that!

Janelle the thing I love most about winter and the holiday season is snow and being with all of your family and friends to enjoy each others company.
THIS IS AMAZINGG! I feel like... I would be the type of person who just applies this on my hand to peel it off 😂😂
SAME HAHAHA
I thought I was the only one😂😂😂
This is absolutely genius!! I have a lot of liquid latex left over from Halloween and it honestly was just going to sit in my makeup drawer until probably next year or whenever I wanted to do special effects makeup again but now I can use it up in a more efficient way! Thanks!!!!
The two polish at the end of the video are too cutes !!
I wish I could thumbs this up more than once! I've been searching for a dupe for the Liquid Perlise and looks like you found it! Thanks for all your hard work and the content you put out!
I tried to order the one that you have but it was £27 on Amazon uk so I bought a bottle of black liquid latex from eBay for £7 and it works perfectly and it will last ages. Thanks for the tip Janelle.
Artists masking fluid is another great alternative!
I just ran out of nail polish remover today and messed up doing nail art and wanted to take it off. Then I remembered that you uploaded this so I came and watched it because I hadn't yet, and YAY it worked!
The nail with the latex and glitter looked really nice the colour it was!!
You never cease to amaze.

elleandish // Janelle I'm allergic to Latex so I can't use it
Brooke Katz use pva glue
cari nowland What's PVA Glue?
Brooke Katz PVA glue is craft/school/white glue such as Elmer's Glue.
That brush thing was freaking cool
It looked so satisfying when she peeled the latex off the brush...lol😂😂👌
This was honestly so helpful!! Thx for posting this!!
You should use simply peel
No, it's way more expensive for the same exact thing. Both have the same base: latex. This is way better value because you get way more for the price.
+Buff Dog Blog but it sparkles?
Lucy Dreyer simply peel like no big deal
Adriel Manzo simply nailogical
This is so cool! I think an interesting video would be to compare all of these options; the latex, glue, polish remover, tape, and Vaseline. So we can all get a complete overview
I made the elmers glue peel off base coat and it does work but it take a while to dry. However cleaning up with the base coat is a lot easier then use a brush and acetone alone
i like how your videos are so diy and creative c:
Oh my goodness! This is a great video super helpful. So smart of you to actually go out and find a similar product that works just as well!
I just bought the same Liquid Latex Fashions body paint, and it is AMAZING. Thanks for such an awesome and much cheaper alternative.
Wow what a neat idea!!! I try to apply polish carefully but always end up with some on my skin!
After watching this video this morning, I hunted all over my town for liquid latex body paint and found a big jar for ~$13!!! So happy you discovered this little hack :-D Also, I put a small portion in an empty polish bottle for storage/use and it works perfectly!!!
millies825 yay!!! :D
Janelle... you have just saved us all. HAHAHA have a nice day!

The ending was so funny and cute 😍😍
You just got a new sub....the speaking nail polishes got me😂😂😂😂
Wow thanks for the idea Janelle - I love it! I'm a beginner at doing nail art and gradients are messy as heck >< gonna try this out and hopefully it'll make gradients less painful
Awww the little nail polish people at the end 😂
This...is...BRILLIANT!!!
Where have u been all my life? Lolololol So happy I found this! Going to order that little tub from Amazon since that little pooling doesn't really bother me;)
I loooove your videos soooo much, great work! oooohhh science, nice idea on the latex! Keep up the great work
I use a q-tip, and then go in with a brush closer to my nail and to refine the cuticle line.
love your videos! by the way, your voice is so soothing 😄
Love ur nail ideas! Especially the cute nail polish cartoons at the end!
I usually clean up the nail polish on my skin when I'm in shower, I found it really easy to just peel it off when my skin is submerged in hot water! Btw the part where you pulled the latex off the brush is so weirdly satisfying that I kept on rewatching that part haha :D

Under 200 views and a really good vid janelle!
Jayooll :) thank you for watching!

Stephienese hihi Stephie!! :D I did it before applying the latex but since it's clear you can probably go either way :)
i really enjoy these kind of videos - they're always so informative! :)
himymfan2030 :) happy you enjoy them! :)
omg that was soooo satisfying to see her pull the latex off the brush
i literally just turned it into a gif.
you are welcome.
This is amazing. You're a genius!
Very cool. Thanks for the tutorial. I am very particular when I do my nails. I have to clean each nail before I go onto the next one. I am going to try this.
Thank you so much for trying all of this out! :-) Looks like a great way to avoid messy nails.
Love your vids! ♥
Best cleaning item for nail polishes ever
I use acetone and a brush!! Thanks for sharing Janelle.
I like to use tape for water marble!!! And I use a pointed q tip and remover on regular nail designs including sponging!! I also want to try a brush and remover for a cleaner look. :)
Excellent Demo!! Thank You bunches!
Your videos are so creative & helpful! Thank you!
Pooling drives me insane, too. I'd have to still use a brush and remover for that when doing sponge gradients. But it's certainly a time-saver nonetheless. I'd give it a shot! Thanks for sharing.
I thumbed up the video 'cause the nail polishes and the end didn't have any thumbs :'( They're so adorable :')
Interesting! I'll have to try this next time I do a sponge look. Thanks for the $ saving tip!
Omg. This is genius!!!
Go to Sally's and buy a big bottle of hair extension latex glue for a couple of $$$$.
I've recently seen the Palisade product all over instagram but I didn't know how expensive it is 😱😱 !! Gonna try the latex version of this video though I always clean my nails with a pencil and nail polish remover 😊💅
I use latex based wig glue but you can also use painters tape. I cut out a U shape to make a customized cuticle protector. no dry time!
Brilliant - I'm buying some latex paint RIGHT NOW!
OMG!! i new to your channel, and i just wanted to say that i love the ed of your videos the little nail polish guys are so adorable!!
Omg I was literally about to go out and buy OPI but now that I watched this video it heolps so much!!!!
I laughed so hard at the boing sound when you pulled off the latex XD
cattie705 :D
Omg yas Janelle!😂👍 Love the videos and please start the Christmas nail art!!
tom wang next video! :)
Yay!
I just realized this would be great for my right hand since Im terrible at applying nail polish with my left!
You can also use miss sporty peel off base coat and I have a latex allergie and it does not bother my skin. I don't think it works very well as a base coat but it does work around the nails
Thank for such a great, helpful video! I've been seeing people on Instagram using Liquid Palisade, and although it works great, I was not into dropping $22 bucks on a small product. I will definitely have to find myself a a jar of liquid latex now 😄
EpicxKitty I'm all for cheaper workarounds! Hehe
This was great! I actually just recently saw a demo of the pricier tube on Instagram the other day and thought how cool it'd be to be able to use it. Thanks for this video and alternative!
OMFG thanks for this video! My liquid latex came in today and i'm already using it! :D
Thank you! I love this idea! Never would have thought of it
Thank you so much! I needed this. I have been wondering about these products and what they where even called thank you!
I also bought the latex body paint but after putting it around my nail and applying polish I waited for my polish to dry too! Bam! No pooling or stringy-ness! :)
thank you very much for this ye thats a great alternative love your vids!! i usually use the nail polish remover and my brush, i would probably use this for sponging but yea i dont like how it comes up at the cuticle so i may stick to what i do but i may try this and see anyway thankz for sharing! :)

Awesome!! It is a lifesaver when I paint my nails!! (I tend to have more problem with the non-dominant hand....)
Try Simply Peel it works like a charm and it sparkles when it's dry
Just tried this and it worked perfectly!!!
NailpolishfanCC awesome! :D
I love your videos I'm 12 and u really got me into doing nail art and u have given me some really cool Ideas
Love you xxxx
This is genius thank you sooo much! I need this so bad! You are the best. Thank you! 😘
xoxo,
Maria
You should think about going to elementary schools to do demonstrations. I'm in school to be a teacher and this is an amazing example of using the scientific process! This would be great for those who don't think they'll ever use it in life! Nail polish isn't just a girly thing, it is grounded in science! You're breaking sterostypes and would be a great role model for my future students!!!!
Could you pour some liquid latex into an old nail polish bottle? And maybe trim the brush so it's like a lil striping brush? 💕 Idk if it would dry the brush out though! Love your videos Janelle 😘😘👌
Paige Lodge Yes I think you could do that! As long as the brush stays wet I don't think you will get that dried out brush issue that I had :) Smart idea!
This is so amazing. Thank you for making this video! Definitely have to try this!
Simply peel by bliss kiss works really well! You should try it!
Amazing idea Janelle!:D
Thank you so much, i was debating, rather or not to buy this! but i am totally now!!
Thank you!!!! This is amazing! I think I have some latex body paint laying around somewhere, too...
Wow, this is very helpful and informative! I'll definitely check this out. Hopefully it can help me with my messes!
22 is too much - and i liked that you gave us an alternative. But if would try it i would use it only for watermarble, also for loose glitter would be a good suggestion - other than that it would not be necesary because i barely get to my skin while painting . And i dont like that peel off near the cuticle neither :p haha ..even if i try it i will be using the remover becasue Im very picky i like a clean and perfect finish xD - thank you so much for this demo .. Love you ♡♡♡
katys2105j haha yes I think I'll just be using it for really messy cleanup like sponging and watermarbling.. I'm all for working on my painting skills on both hands ;)
Wow this is so helpful :) Currently I'm using Vaseline but I'm going to try out latex :) Thanks so much!
I need this :O Thanks for the demo! :) Love your vids!!!
