Nailed it! This easy-to-use $20 polish corrector is a 'mani saver,' fans say
Fix minor flaws like smudges, dents and chips with a few swipes of this 'miracle in a bottle.'
Ever finish the perfect at-home manicure when, suddenly, you bump a nail and — oh, no. After all that work, you've smudged your pretty polish, and you'll have to start all over again. Or have you ever left the salon only to accidentally nick a nail on your steering wheel? Instead of redoing all your work — or heading back to the manicurist — you can fix a variety of minor mani flaws with one $20 solution: Londontown Kur Instant Smudge Fix, an easy-to-use nail polish corrector that promises to smooth out smudges and camouflage creases, all in a single swipe.
Thanks to its innovative formula, this smudge corrector refreshes minor nail polish flaws like nicks, dents and chips.
So, how does it work? Smudge Fix uses a special formula (that doesn't contain any unpleasant ingredients like formaldehyde or acetone) to smooth away imperfections in existing manicures, restoring polish back to its pre-scratched, nicked or smudged splendor. That means you don't have to take the time and energy to redo your nails or return to the salon for a professional fix to your mani oopsie.
For smudges, just gently brush a thin layer of the Smudge Fix over the affected nail to smooth out the polish. Let it dry for about 10 seconds, then finish with your preferred top coat. For small nicks, chips and other imperfections, fill in the flaw with the original polish as best you can, and let it dry for 10 seconds. Then, brush a layer of Smudge Fix over the entire nail. Wait for 10 seconds, then follow up with a top coat.
Tons of Amazon reviewers have shared their praise for Smudge Fix, with many gushing over the corrector's ability to repair manicures and smooth out nails.
One reviewer dubbed Smudge Fix a "mani saver," adding, "This works really well to fix manis when I accidentally mess up a nail before the polish fully sets. Before this, I would try to do the same thing using clear top coat, but this is so much better and results in a smoothing effect."
Another user wrote, "Terrific for smudged nails. ... I manicured my nails yesterday using the Londontown Kur Nail Veil polish and managed to crease two nails when they were almost dry. I brushed on the Instant Smudge Fix and the wrinkles disappeared."
"Game-changer," raved a third devotee. "I am an impatient perfectionist, and these two traits in combination have me redoing my nails — individually or in total — more often than I care to admit. Well ... after a hasty manicure yesterday, which led to two or three imperfect nails that I dented or smudged, I used this for the first time this morning. OMG! My manicure looks literally perfect now! I couldn't be happier not to have to waste time, energy, and polish redoing them. This is a miracle in a bottle."
A final fan reasoned, "This is one of the best manicure products I've ever purchased. It truly works as the manufacturer promises, but some may experience a bit of a learning curve. ... I must say that the pricing for this item is most disappointing [aspect]."
This smudge corrector may set you back $20, but considering the traditional salon manicure can cost anywhere between $25 to $65 for a single visit, you'll get your money's worth from not having to redo any messed-up manis.
