Graftobian Liquid Latex SFX Makeup - Professional Skin Safe Adhesive for Special Effects and Body FX, For Theatrical Stage, Cosplay, and Halloween Makeup, 0.5 ounce

I use this liquid latex as a barrier product for my nails. The shipment came a day early, even though I have prime and ordered on a weekend! Eventhough this is a rather small bottle, only about a half ounce, it will last me quite a while for the purpose I am using it. My favorite thing about this product and the reason I bought the Graftobian brand is because it has a small brush in the lid, super convenient!!! This means that I don't have to use on of my nail are brushes, and then attempt to get the dried latex out of it later. I have included a few photos of how I use the latex, but here is a quick rundown:- Paint around the cuticle and nail, the latex paints on white, but will dry clear. You only need a thin layer. Also, even once the latex is completely dry, it will still feel "tacky".- Paint nails as usual, then peel the latex off while polish is still wet, starting at the base of the nail bed and peeling towards the tip of the nail (sometimes a pair of tweezers is helpful for this). The latex should peel off all in one piece.- Clean up any remaining polish with a stiff angled brush and acetone, although this should be greatly decreased because of your latex :)I really love this brand because it peels off nicely all in one piece, and I would absolutely recommend the Graftobian liquid latex to anyone looking for a quality brand to try!

Dries super fast. Great for lightweight application. I used this to apply fake whiskers for a costume, after an hour it started to flake off. But that could have been due to my application or the small surface area

Very thin! I bought this to use to blend the edges of my prosthetic. It dries fairly fast, but it takes a lot of coats to do what I want with it.

The brush on this is terrible and the product does not dry, sticks to everything

I probably use this product very different from it's intended use but it's perfect for what I need! I'm a Nail Technician / Nail Artist and I use it to keep my client cuticles and fingers free of splatter or excess polish. I simply apply it around my clients cuticles & fingernails before polishing / artwork. It dries as I work and when i'm done I simply peel off the latex and with it any splatter or over lap! The only thing I need to mention is I wish it didn't dry so sheer. It's sometime hard to see when I need to remove it. But other than that, it works FANTASTIC and it's 1/2 the cost of commercially sold products that do the same thing!

The brush in the bottle I received was very curved, curling back on itself, and made application nearly impossible. A manufacturing flaw, and why I rated it "I don't like it" 2-stars.There are some glowing reviews for using this Liquid Latex for nail art. I disagree. It is NOT SUITABLE for NAIL ART. - It is tacky when it dries and everything sticks to it, especially adjacent fingers. The only way to use it for nail art would be to do one finger at a time, and that's dumb in my book.

It smells bad but works really well. I used it to make fake mold and tears on my skin for my beetlejuice costume and to hold both my bald cap and wig in place. It also kept my fake prosthetic tears and scars on my face all day. It dries clear and works great with all types of face paint (I used cheap kid face paint and expensive clown paint). Letting the latex dry on top of a thin piece of toilet paper, will later give you a nice piece of "skin" to apply to your face and paint like a scar. If you are having trouble getting the latex to dry, just use a little bit of baby powder. I really recommend watching some YouTube videos on how to make make scars and stuff with liquid latex, it is all so simple and fun!

I ordered this product to assist with the special effects makeup of a cosplay. Unfortunately, I spilled about 2/3 of the bottle before I could make much use of it.What little of it I was able to use, I found to be quick-drying (but still slow enough to make use of as an adhesive) and held down the prosthetic well. The odor was less pungent than other liquid latexes I have used but still had that ammonia scent, so if you haven't had experience working with liquid latex before, be forewarned.Overall, the liquid latex itself was of high quality but I don't know how well it holds up over time.
