Product Review: Sula Paint & Peel Nail Polish


Here's the deal: my mother is a biochemist, and vehemently opposed to nail polish. This left me searching other options, and I found Sula Paint & Peel.

Sula Peel and Paint Nail Polish @ Through the WildernessI got a bottle of perfect pink for 10$, and eagerly headed home to try it out. Usually, I try and only be positive on this blog, but this is an extreme case. I hated this stuff!

Reasons:
  1. It is really thick, and hard to apply evenly.
  2. It dries really quickly, which is good, but it dries so quickly that it is hard to get a coat without huge lumps.
  3. It call's itself paint and peel, and it really is. Within a minute of it going on, you can peel it of. And It really does peel. Don't attempt getting dressed, opening a purse, or moving a hair. It gets snagged, then it looks terrible, and you have to peel off the entire nail.
  4. There is nothing you can do to combat this. Using a polish that I know works wonderfully on it's own, I have experimented with top coat, bottom coat, both, all possible combinations.
My quest for a health safe, functional nail polish continues!

Thoughts? Requests?

Love, Rosie

  1. Whats wrong with nail polish? I personally don't use it, I pick it off right after I put it on! So maybe this nail polish would work for me. I hope you find a better solution to your nail polish dilemma!

  2. I am not keen on painting and peeling nailpolish, but then again.. I don't wear much nailpolish

    I tend to always pick clear, or light colours.

    P.S. I just started, so I'd love it if you'd come by and look at my blog :)
