PULL MY FINGER
Polish that you can paint on, then peel off.
We all have bad habits—finger tapping, face picking, hair twirling—but few are as bad as chipping off nail polish. Not only are you left with Rorschach-like splotches of color on your fingers, but you’re also lifting off an important layer of nail.
But bad habits die hard, which is why there’s Peel and Paint polish from Sula. The chemical-free formula uses water, so that swatches of color come off in one swift chip without pulling off anything from the nail. An informal test in the office proved that Sula lives up to its promise, with our nails bare in just minutes without the help of headache-inducing remover.
The polish, which launched this past spring but is adding a handful of autumnal colors to its arsenal, might be easy to take off, but what happens if you like the shades so much that you want to keep it on? Just apply a topcoat and it will stick around for as long as it takes to kick a bad habit.

I am undecided, but I would probably say no. I have enough problems with chips as is. I want it to stay on when I wash dishes, do artwork, and workout!
After learning a new trick to removing darker shades without stains, I don't mind using remover. Just swipe some cuticle oil on your nails before removing polish and it won't stain your nails!

i think its a bad idea. personally, i hate it when my nail polish chips there's no reason to be painting your nails if you're going to peel it of later.

i love it! i own one and it's really good because if you mess up because you don't need nail polish remover.
The only downside is you have to take it off every day or else it just peels and gets annoying.

Bad idea. I've tried it before and it comes off way too easily.

BAD IDEA. Just to clerify, you can get nail polish that peels off in one peel for $1 at the grocery store. And that's because it's cheap to make, and comes off too easily.

Fabulous! This perfect because I always forget to take of my nail polish before a dance/ chorus concert or drama performance. Now i don't have to sit in the wings scraping of nail polish at the last minute and can avoid after-show notes about proper show attire! Thanks!

I love this stuff! I find it lasts just long enough, and i like to change my nail color every day or 2. rocks.

I have about 4 colours I love it because when I am in a rush (always) I don't have to plan around getting a manicure. I put it on at work, it doesn't smell and off I go. Get tons of compliments for the colours.

hmm...i guess this kind of nail polish would be suitable for a gal (or guy);) that likes changing their nail color every day...which makes me think they have a lot of time on their hands. besides i try to keep my nail polish on as long as possible. :P

Uhh... I've had nail polishes that peel off easily, and they suck. What's the point of taking time to paint them if it's just going to come off so quickly?

I absolutely love this nail polish! It's great when you're in a hurry, and it dries super quick! It's perfect because it lasts for a night out. I've even tried putting regular top coat over it and then it lasts for days! Also the colours are amazing!

I LOVE THIS STUFF! It's so much fun, the colours are great, and its not bad for your nails! I also love Sula's perfumes, they all smell so good and fresh!

Even though this nail polish peels, it last long enough for a night out or an event, and you don't have to deal with any chemically, smelly nail polish remover. If I want it to last for a few days, I just apply a non-peelable topcoat. It's great having both options!

The colours are bam on! They're all so in right now and a lot of other nail polish brands don't have them. I especially love the green, and peeling it off is so fun! I also don't feel as bad wearing it because it's not bad for your nails!

I love this nail polish! and I love the fact that it peels off, but when you do put the top coat on it will stay on for a really long time, it's amazing!

This stuff is just so handy. If you're in a rush it dries really quickly, and it peels off!! I love the colors that they chose.

I had stuff like this when I was a kid. It dried instantly, and it was kind of rubbery. This does sound cool, except I am an art student, and I would undoubtedly mess them up within five minutes.
