Okay.  I love this concept.  I love the price.  BUT.  BUT.  I think this is going to be a major problem for kids who wear this who like to pick and peel polish.  And for the working woman because I think this is going to come right off (as you yourself said) with one touch of anything chemical.  I would be so unhappy if I brought this to my manicure, had it painted on, paid $12, and the next day it peeled right off.  I think it is a step in the right direction chemical compound wise.  But the longevity situation turns me off.  Nail varnish already chips and peels with the junk infused in it already.  I can see this as being rubbery and so tempting to just pull at.  And for toes, sandals might snag on them and then, voila, a peeled varnished nail gone!  You're gonna be doing more touching up then you want and then this "easy solution" turns into high-maintenance.  I'd try it if it ended up on my desk for free---but---wouldn't go and buy it and risk it on an event.  I'd be worried it'd be gone by the time I was at the valet.  Nice idea--needs to be tweaked.
