I was
thrilled when I was approached by Kiesque. They asked if I wanted to test their
Liquid Palisade, and I happily accepted.
I'm showing the traditional use - and how to use it in nail art.
This what I received:

Liquid
Palisade comes in two versions one with a thick brush with the description: "Liquid Palisade - Easy Peel Polish Barrier is likened to
painter's tape for your nails. The thick brush tip is designed for easier
product coverage on your cuticles and around your nail. Protect before you
polish for a mess-free-manicure or pedicure."
Or a
thin brush with the description: "Liquid Palisade French, is likened to painter's tape for
your nails. The fine brush tip is designed for accuracy and precision when
creating a French tip manicure or custom DIY nail art designs. Apply
before you polish and simply peel away for a salon-perfect effect."
See the really
good instruction videos right HERE.
Lets first have a look at the thick brush...
The finished result after I removed the Liquid Palisade.
Liquid
Palisade French Manicure has a striper like brush, as I showed you on the brush
comparison photo. As French Manicures do not look good on me, I decided to try
to use it to create random freehand stripe patterns.
Then I added a coat of the perfect one-coater black Purrfect Pawlish Pitch Black, see swatches HERE, one nail at a time immediately removing the Liquid Palisade.
But I used a black liner to correct the small mishaps that gave me, because the tweezers dropped the Liquid Palisade back on the nail, no biggie tho – just something I definitely will do differently in the future.
I could have made the lines even more crisp, but I wanted to show an "as is" result.
Finally I top coated with Seche Vite, and I thought it was quite fun!
I like the idea of use of latex for nail art, however I find this particular latex severely overpriced considering the amount of actual product you get.
SvarSletYou have a point, but I son't mind paying a bit extra to have a product with a subtle and pleasant scent, I find the brushes rather genius ;)
SletThat's a life changing idea for nailart lovers! You reviewed it so beautifully Maria!
SvarSletThank you so much :)
SletVery useful product and you made such a detailed review that now I want it too :)
SvarSletHave fun, it's a great product!
SletI haven't tried any liquid latex products so far, mostly because I don't do nail art often, but it's always intriguing to see them working. I didn't know they also had a striper version!
SvarSletThe striper is really brilliant!
SletThis is really a very useful product and it is interesting how you created that "laser" manicure! :-) I use "NYC Strip me off", it's perfect base when you want to use glitter polishes and helps getting it off your nails very easily... well, I use it to protect the skin around my nails when I create gradients :-)
SvarSletThe Liquid Palisade is an entirely different kind of product, it's not a peel off base...
SletI agree with Vedrana - the product looks cool but I also find the price way too high compared to other products. I like the idea of the thick and thin brush though :)
SvarSletThe brushes are really cool - and so is the pleasant scent ;)
SletI've used only one liquid latex product (a no-brand that I got at the theatre shop). It smells horrible but I couldn't imagine doing nail art without it. I sure hope to try Liquid Palisade some day but at the moment it's a bit too expensive with shipping and customs. For now I'll just don't smell my fingers while playing with polish ;)
SvarSletLOL - the ways we suffer ;)
