Forum Novelties Liquid Latex, Clear, 16 Ounce

Perfect! Yes indeed, it works beautifully as a nail art mask, for a VERY low price, plus, you can add any color glitter you want, &, it dries clear & pulls off clean. I bought this 16 oz. bottle for around $5.00, free shipping. The bottle looks small, but this will last me a LONG time for what I'm using it for; nail art masking. Because it's real latex rubber, it does have a funky smell (kinda like soured old potatoes), but that goes away as soon as it's dry. How: (Test a dab on your skin first, to make sure you're not allergic! If you don't have any reaction, you should be fine.) I emptied & cleaned out an old nail polish bottle (with nail polish remover, then dish soap & water, dried it out with a q-tip), poured some of this (it has a thick milk/thin cream consistency) in & added some fine glitter (not glass glitter). Now I can easily paint it where I want it. It dries clear, so the glitter shows through! It peels off clean, usually in one peel.

I purchased this to make my own liquid palisade and I have to say it works perfectly. I had never heard of liquid palisade before so when I found out about it, I wanted it immediately. I could not believe how expensive it is! I went online and looked for a way to duplicate it. I found that you could just take liquid latex, add some acrylic paint to color it and you'd have your own version. I found this on Amazon to be the best value and price. I was a little hesitant as I read reviews that said it had a very bad ammonia smell. When I first opened and smelled it, it had a very pungent aroma. I poured some into a foil bowl, added several drops of acrylic paint, mixed it all up and poured it into a clean nail polish bottle. I am happy to report there is no odor at all. It dries very quickly and easily peels off. I am so glad I bought this. Now I can make my own liquid palisade at a fraction of the cost.

The tiny bottles of liquid latex at Spirit Halloween and other party stores are /expensive/. I decided to buy it online even though I had a coupon for it. I bought the bigger bottle because I didn't know how much it would take to do some effects. Turns out, you don't need a lot. But a fan and patience is good. With toilet paper, cream makeup, and foundation, I was able to create gashes and second/third degree burns that stopped people in their tracks. Liquid latex is versatile so don't let me limit your imagination. By the way, I wanted to experiment with this and not worry about making a mess. I used cheap sponge brushes to apply and sat on a cut open plastic trash bag to cover the area. I also made my 2-ply TP to 1-ply (yes, it matters, and try to get one without texture) and tore them before hand cause I knew my fingers would be getting messy. Some things I learned using this product: 1. Use a fan or be in a well ventilated area. I was experimenting with this for a few hours and it stank my room up. It might have been ammonia, but it wasn't that acrid. It didn't smell pleasant but it also didn't stay. The special effects themselves did not smell. 2. Layer. If you're using toilet paper that is. I haven't gotten around to using wound wax or liquid latex with it, but I really like 1-ply toilet paper. Apply a thin layer of latex, apply a jagged piece of toilet paper. You can create a natural looking build up of what seems to be your torn flesh. 3. Foundation: important. I used my foundation to matte the slight gloss that dried latex has. The skin tone makeup will transition between skin and latex better than Halloween cream makeups. I tried mixing a cream foundation with latex, thinking both are hydrophobic and will mix. It didn't for me, but maybe I didn't try hard enough? It didn't make too much difference when it dried. 4. Apply a larger base of latex than needed. If you want to make a gash a few inches long, add another few inches all over the perimeter of your application. After a long wear, the edges of the latex will peel up and you don't want that close to your SFX. Also, if you want to apply cream makeup on top of it, you're better off if it's all on latex. The latex acts like a primer and will show colors more vividly than plain skin, so once you cross the border, it becomes very obvious. This might be the most important lesson that I learned -- you DEFINITELY see where the latex ends and it generally is not what you want. 5. Be prepared to throw everything away. As in... this is latex. It behaves similarly to acrylic paint when it's on non-human surfaces. It's very difficult to get off. I found that I can away with this by washing everything before it's dried, but I don't want latex in my drains. If you have a thin layer on your skin, have fun because you can peel it off like Elmer's. If it's a thick glob, you can either peel it off or rub it. Question: when the latex dried, it created a "wrinkly" skin effect, a little but like the way white glue will do when it dries. Does anyone know how to prevent this?

This is the second bottle of liquid latex I have ever purchased and the first was a rock hard, completely solid mass of rubber purchased from Party City, not sure what the brand was. I assume the bottle was old and I returned it no problem but you can imagine my delight when I received this bottle and I opened it to find the latex inside the bottle actual liquid. Because I had never used it before there was a bit of a learning curve with how messy and weird it is to work with but once I got the hang of it I realized this stuff was like magic and did exactly what I wanted it to. I created a zombie mouth prosthetic and ripped skin and this product worked perfectly.

Yup, this works great! I did my very first zombie on myself tonight and it came out even better than I expected. I used three layers of tissue paper (I recommend only using two) and tried to make three gashes across my face. For being my first time, I think it came out great!!! I literally had a girl who avoided me like the plague at the party tonight because I looked too gross!!!! Things I learned for you first timers; layer latex, tissue, latex, let dry, latex, tissue, latex, let dry. This stuff gets pretty hard to cut open once it dries so having three layers on just makes it that much harder to open up. Also, have your strip of tissue ready to go after you put that first layer of latex on. Don't dilly dally...get the tissue on your face before it dries at all. Lastly, after you slice the wound open, make sure to cut the edges of your slices back a good amount. It doesn't have to get crazy but don't be afraid that you're cutting too much back. Better to be too open than not open enough. Bonus tip; red body paint in the wound is a good base but get a small bottle of fake blood (not that stupid crap you see on the toy shelves). Fake blood gel takes your wounds to the next level. I've attached a picture...remember this is my first time. I think it came out better than I originally expected!!!

This product is absolutely awesome. I do recommend that if this is the first time using this product that you practice on a small area before you try to use it as a final product. I played with a small amount of the latex to create a small gash wound on my hand before applying anything to my face. This helped greatly because it allows the user to get a feel for the consistency of the product and how it needs to be manipulated in order to produce the best effects. The product is a bit runny so you need to be careful not to apply too much at one time. With that being said, it does dry rather quickly so you can apply additonal coats within minutes. A hair dryer works great to speed up the dry time. Also, please note that the product is a milky white color. You will need some sort of makeup/cover-up to give it a skin color look.

I have never used liquid latex before. I am very experienced with special effects makeup. Was curious to try it. Layer after layer, and using toilet paper in between it just didnt work out for me. I think this product is best for small projects such as vampire bite marks. You do have to work kinda quickly before it dries on applicator. but takes a little bit to dry once on skin. However I made my own special latex like substance. this is water proof where mine is not. So, i will be using this instead of my own just because every halloween my stuff melts when wet. I think this product could have been made thicker. somehow. in all, i would reccomend this product. i dont hate it. i am just very picky. lol

This is my #1 ingredient for just about every prosthetic and makeup application I do for my Halloween costumes. I’m a DIY Self-taught gal so I don’t have the means for the professional silicone or Hollywood grade adhesives. There’s not a whole lot to say about it, I mean it reeks to high heaven so if you’re sensitive to the ammonia smell or have a latex allergy, stay away. But it works great for creating and applying appliances, making fake skin/wounds or just playing around with to peel off your hands, kinda like we did as kids with Elmers glue. What I love most is the price since the same size costs about twice as much in the Hween stores which I refuse to pay, especially for as much as I use during that holiday season.

特殊メイクのアプライアンスが作れればいいなぁと一縷の望みにすがって買ってみましたが難しい… 傷メイク等はやりやすいと思います。

I love Halloween and making my own costumes. This is a go-to product for me. I use it to make fake skin and it looks so real. Will always purchase this product.

It was my first time using liquid latex already loving this product, ghetto package but good stuff. Better value than the BenNye one and works great, i can say I won't go for anything else when it comes to sfx.

臭いが髪の毛の脱色剤などの臭いが顔周りに使用した際、臭いが目にしみるほどかなりキツイです。 ですが、乾くとあのしみるような臭いが嘘のように消えました。 私はこのラテックスと手芸用の綿を混ぜ使用したのですが、肌につけた感じでは1枚目の写真のように肌に馴染んでくれました。剥がしたあとは2枚目の写真のようにゴム製のマスクのようになり、また同じようなメイクをする時に使えるかもしれないです。 ただ、液体の時の臭いがやはり気になるので評価は4にさせて頂きました。 臭い以外では、発送なども含め本当に大満足です。 ありがとうございました。

袋が誰かに開けられたのか？と思うくらい破けており、開けてみたところ中身が漏れ酷い臭いがしている状態の物が届きました。 届くまでしばらく待った物だったので非常に残念です。
