UNT Peelable Base Coat

I have plenty of swatch sticks, but sometimes I still can’t decide on a color without seeing it on. The excess polish remover was destroying my nails, so I decided to try peel off. This stuff is great! I’ve just started experimenting, but here are a few tips:-Use 2 coats every time. One coat is too thin to peel off effectively and the color polish may manage to soak through to the nail, necessitating remover to get it off. Consider using a regular base coat over the 2 coats of peels base, especially if you need a ridge filler. The peel base doesn’t protect from staining and makes ridges more pronounced. The regular base cost doesn’t inhibit the peelability whatsoever-Let each coat of peel dry *completely* before adding the next peel coat or any base or color coats on top. I wait at least a full 5 minutes before adding the next coat. If the coats are even slightly wet, the following coat will bond to the one below and make it’s way to the nail plate and adhere. If this is a color or regular base coat, again, you’re looking at polish remover to get it off your nail.-Don’t touch the skin or flood the cuticles with the peel base. Doing this will cause the base coat to lift and peel off earlier, just like it would for regular polish. This base coat is very watery. Wipe the brush off well on the rim of the bottle. A little goes a long way!-Don’t wrap the tips with the peel off base coat, but do wrap them with polish and top coat. This way, when the other polishes chip at the tips, the peel off is unaffected and won’t all peel off together. You may need a touch of remover to get any polish under or on the tips, but it’s a necessary evil-I haven’t tried this yet, but if you’re looking at a longer lasting manicure it’s said you can only do a swipe or two down the middle of the nail. In my experience, any part of the nail not covered in peel base will need remover to get the polish off, so I’m not sure how much or how well the peel effect will be with this method, but it’s worth a shot!I haven’t worn my manicures too long with the peel base because like I said, I’m usually just testing swatches before redoing a regular manicure. In the one case I did leave it on, I was able to shower, go to dinner, and do some dishes and household cleaning (recklessly, but with rubber gloves!) over 2 days before seeing my first chip. It held up to my usual multiple-times-daily application of cuticle oil and various hand creams too. I could’ve kept it on longer without being too bothered but I was in the mood to change it anyway. I’ve had regular manicures do worse!YMMV with wear time. I’ve seen some people say they get the same west time as with regular base coats and others have it popping off before they’re don’t paining their manicure. I assume it’s a body chemistry thing. Make sure to prep well, remove cuticle (not proximal mail fold!), and wash hands well with a soap without any oils/use remover or alcohol or other nail dehydrator first, just as you would for a full regular manicure.Since I peel it early when testing colors while the polish on top is still wet, it can be kind of tricky to get it to peel, but peel it does, all in one piece, and with little to no mess. The drier the polish, the easier the peel.So far, it does what I need it to and I have no complaints! I intend to try using it under my manicures more often to see if I can avoid polish remover altogether, especially since I like to change my polish as frequently as possible once I get tired of it. I’ll update if I have any other feedback or insight.

I recently started using a lot of glitter nail polish, and was getting really sick of taking it off. It took me forever, I used a lot of cotton pads and nail polish remover, and there was always a little residue left anyways. I decided to try this peel off base, even though I thought it was a little pricey. I’m so happy I did. The nail polish almost always peels off in one piece, which is very satisfying and convenient. There is sometimes some residual nail polish, but it’s very minimal, and a little nail polish remover takes it off easily.However, like some people have said, it works a little TOO well. The first day I wore it, my left index finger polish popped off all in one piece. This isn’t a huge problem for me, as I use my hands a LOT and am still perfecting my manicure skills, so I am thrilled if I get two or three days out of nail polish without chipping. Because of this, I change my nails pretty much every other day, and this takes away the hassle of taking it off with nail polish remover. I just pop it off, clean them up a bit, and paint them again.If you want them to last longer, push your cuticles back and clean your nails off with PURE ACETONE. Also, if you want to, buff the top layer of your nails down a bit (When you take away the shine of your nails you should be good). Then apply a VERY thin layer. I found if I do a really, really thin layer, the polish doesn’t come off all in one piece, but it does still come off easier, plus is lasts longer. Then when you paint your nails, make sure to wrap the tips and edges of your nails with polish.Love this product and would recommend to anyone who hates the hassle of removing their nail polish, or anyone who likes to change their nails frequently.

Those of us who are of a certain age will remember Tinkerbell Cosmetics. The best part of their products, and the only part that I really remember, was their peel off nail polish. I probably owned 2 or 3 bottles as a youngster, and they were most assuredly all somewhat boring shades of pink. I really liked these polishes simply because of the minor thrill of being able to peel them off within 10 minutes or so of painting them on. Eventually, Tinkerbell Cosmetics disappeared, along with my childhood. However, those looking to relive the thrill of using their nail polish need not worry. The BO-PO polish reappeared on the market some years ago, and in much bolder colors.I received two bottles of UNT Sun Envy along with my two bottles of Ready For Takeoff. One bottle is a odd melon flesh color (NV040) and the other is sort of green/silver (NV135). I used ROT base coat with NV135 and OPI base coat with NV040. With NV040 I used three coats of polish and found it still streaky. I didn't use top coat and found that it lasted for two days before chipping. With NV135, I found that it looked more gold colored on the nail and was still see through after 2 or 3 coats. I had tip wear with this particular polish, which I attribute to the ROT base coat.As far as the base coat goes, it didn't fall off in the shower, or while washing my hands. ROT takes a while to dry and smells of glue. It doesn't peel off cleanly, the way it does for Youtube wunderkind Simply Nailogical. Recently, I used ROT on a thumbnail, allowed it to dry, then painted on a red OPI polish and a glitter topper. The red polish was a smeary mess so I tried to peel it all off. It would not peel, so I had to use acetone. On a different nail, I had 1 coat of ROT, 3 coats of a Nicole by OPI polish, and a glitter topper. Today it was solidly stuck to the nail. So far, the base coat has failed twice.I used different brands/colors/glitter/non glitter polishes on other nails. There is quite a bit of tip wear and a small amount of chipping, despite the wrapping of the tips with polish and fast drying top coat applied.I won't be using it with my holo polishes. Last night, I used ROT, let it dry, then used a discontinued holo polish made by Butter London. I used three coats of polish and fast drying top coat. The polish never really felt dry, but it also didn't smear or chip through two showers and one breakfast. This afternoon, I bumped the nail on a coffee carafe and the polish mostly peeled off. The price of holo is too dear for me to use a peel off base coat with it.So, in summary, Ready For Takeoff peel off base coat is okay. It peels somewhat satisfactorily and lasts almost as long as UNT says it does.I have included a photo of the polishes I was sent. It is an artistic shot. I call it "Kartoffeln mit Nagellack".If you have read this far, yes, I have intended for this to be one of the longest reviews for Ready For Peel Off Takeoff Peelable Base Coat Nail Polish with 2 Nail Polishes, 4 Packs 0.5Oz /15ml No Latex Cuticle Barrier, Non-glue Based Nail Tape for Pregnant Woman & Children. I hope that in some small way I have succeeded.
