Handy Manicure Protectors

'Helmies' are Nail Helmets Designed to Prevent Smudging

For anyone who has ever smudged a fresh manicure, the new nail helmets called 'Helmies' might be the perfect solution. While they may seem to be a strange concept at first, Helmies actually serve a very practical purpose for protecting fresh polish from dents and scratches.

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. Helmies are surprisingly easy to use and can be slipped on after you have applied your desired polish and top coat.

With these handy nail helmets on, nothing can come between you and your perfect manicure.
