A liquid adhesive for nail polish is a topical composition that is used to facilitate the application and removal of nail polish as well as the creation of intricate nail polish designs. The composition includes rubber latex and water. The liquid adhesive may also include an antiseptic composition of ammonium hydroxide and thiram, a preserving composition of zinc oxide, an aromatic agent, a coloring agent, and a moisturizing agent. The rubber latex forms a liquid-impermeable coating on the surface of the users skin or nail once applied. This allows a dried coating of the liquid adhesive to be peeled from the skin or nail along with any nail polish applied over the coating. The composition may additionally exhibit antimicrobial and antifungal properties as well as a resistance to decomposition and other unwanted chemical and physical changes.
