Today I will be sharing my thoughts on Edge Perfection. It is a latex barrier product that assists in applying polish, and you can also use it for protecting your skin when doing nail art. It is available online as well as in your local CVS in the nail/beauty section.
First impression: The first thing I noticed is that it had a steel ball in the packaging to ensure smooth product and application. I also noticed little to no scent, which is a major plus for those with scent sensitivities. Application brush was short, sturdy and easy to use. Formula was thin to allow the product to get into all the nooks and crannies to make clean up quick and easy.
I initially started using it for it's intended purpose - to help while applying polish. I soon realized that the polish I chose had a really great brush - so I really didn't need any assistance in protecting my cuticle area. Polish used is Nvr Enuff Polish Prototype topped with Glisten and Glow HK Girl Top Coat.
Next I wanted to test it out with nail art. It applied nicely and dried quickly. I like that it wasn't completely clear when dry (I like to know where I applied it). I typically apply 2 coats to ensure a clean peel in 1 pull and Edge Perfection hit the mark with the formula to provide a clean peel.
Mani details: Big Bling Stamper from Clear Jelly Stamper, Tighty Whities from Drip Drop Nail Paint, It Girl Nail Art IG103 Plate.
Final thoughts: I love a good latex barrier and use them with nail art regularly. Anything to make clean up faster is an A+ in my eyes. While I typically tend to support indie brands, if I'm in a bind, I love the option to head to my local CVS to pick this product up. I do recommend if you have have an allergy to latex to steer away from this product.
Happy Polishing,
