Each pack of Helmies comes with 10 helmets to cover each one of your fingers, as well as two additional helmets for your toes. The nail helmets are made from silicone and designed with strategic cutouts for the pads of your fingers so that you will still be able to use touchscreen devices while your nail polish is drying.
