Spray-on nail polish is a thing

Image credit: nailsinc.com/

Nails Inc. broke the internet last year with ‘NailKale’, but now they’ve gone one better with an innovation we never thought possible: Spray-on nail polish.

The first of its kind, Paint Can nail polish is set to become the clumsy girl’s ultimate beauty weapon – giving a flawless mani, minus the uneven coat and smudges.

*Cue happy dance for those of us with not-so-steady hands.*

So, how does this magical formula work?

Well, first you’ll need to apply your base coat the old-fashioned way (aka brush and bottle).

Then comes the fun part: To ensure an even finish, you have to coat your fingers with the stuff (preferably in the backyard or over a sink).

Once it’s dried, the spray on your skin can be easily washed away with warm water – but don’t worry, your nails are safe as the spray sticks to the aforementioned base coat, as you can see in this video:

The formula is designed to completely cut down drying time, setting in as little as 20 seconds, so you can spritz away and pretty much head straight out the door.

The best part? It’s pretty much impossible to smudge this bad boy, which means we can kiss most of our DIY and nail salon struggles goodbye.

Now to the essential question: “Where can I get this miracle product?”

The polish sold out in the UK when it was first released, but now you can get it from stylepatisserie.com for $25. A small price to pay, considering it's probably the fastest manicure you'll ever create!

Would you try spray-on nail polish? What are your biggest struggles when applying nail polish?

Fantastic for those of us who lack fine motor skills.

I love this concept.

This looks like a dream! I usually do my own nails rather than getting them professionally done, so not really a fan of the price tag.

I'd definitely buy this if it was in Australia & if it did eventually bring it out here I hope they have different colours too :)

There's no harm in giving it a try ... once I can get my hands on a can.

After having a bad time applying nail polish this evening this is not looking like a bad option.

May I quote a line from a popular current TVC? "Shut up and take my money". Omg I need this!!! I have no patience but still want pretty nails for dates.. Without much effort.

I really wanna try this! It would be so time saving, but I wonder if it chips easily :/

darasparkle 17 Apr 2017 8:06 PM

I can't wait to try this!!

Trish_D 16 Apr 2017 10:27 PM

I can definitely live without this!

I'm not sure this will catch on.

Ellisha Leen 2 Mar 2017 3:36 PM

Ohhh!! I need this! I am going to stylepatisserie.com now!!!! :0

This is such an interesting idea - I wonder if it will take off. I love doing art on my nails, but the base colour i always have trouble painting on neatly. this could be the answer to my base colour needs!!!

J_01 17 Jan 2017 2:52 PM

The idea seems okay, but I feel like it could get messy

chanelle.l 12 Dec 2016 11:56 PM

Looks interesting but messy

ThisIsMe 12 Dec 2016 10:20 AM

Sounds awesome! But expensive and possibly more time consuming even if you need to apply a top coat also along with the base coat unless I mis-understood?

I cannot stress enough how much happier my DIY manicures would look, with this product ...Release this in Australia NOW! I would buy straight away!

I was SO excited when I saw this product in a local chemist. I purchased the colour Porchester Square which looked to be a lovely dusty purple on the colour shown on the packaging. After waiting for my base coat to dry I applied the spray over some paper towel (definitely recommend putting down something protective as the colour will get everywhere around your hands). I sprayed a little close on my first nail which caused some rippling in the polish, however avoided this on other nails. I let the colour dry for three minutes and applied a top coat. I was a little terrified on seeing the colour all over my hands and was concerned it would not come off however this was no issue with some soapy water and scrubbing. Unfortunately on drying it was evident I should have applied two coats as it was a little transparent. The colour was also quite glittery which I had not expected. I think with a little more practice it will result in the promised perfect manicure but the first attempt still looks very much like a home job! It's a great idea but I'm not sure the product justifies the $34 I paid for it.

Interesting to hear from someone who has tried the product. Thanks for such a comprehensive account and some good tips.
