Nickel Guard® Single Pack - Protective coating for metal objects

A few years ago, I had an Apple Watch and would get terrible rashes where the sensor touched my skin. It would become red, itchy, and even start peeling. It got so bad that I could only wear it for a day at a time, then had to go weeks without it. Eventually, I just gave up and sold the watch. Last year, I decided to try a fitness tracker again and went with a Fitbit. That worked fine and didn’t irritate my skin at all. But since I have an iPhone, I always felt like I was missing out on features that an Apple Watch offers. A couple of months ago, my Fitbit stopped working, and I was stuck deciding if I wanted to deal with the rashes again or give up the extra features. My mom rarely uses her Apple Watch, so before buying a new one, I figured I would test out Nickel Guard. I had seen mixed reviews, so I honestly did not have high expectations. At first, I had a little trouble with the coating sticking to the charger a few hours after it dried, but after those first few uses, it worked perfectly. It goes on just like nail polish, which makes it really easy to apply and reapply. I ended up getting an Apple Watch again and applied Nickel Guard immediately. Now it has been a little over three weeks, and I cannot recommend this product enough. I have had zero irritation. Yes, you do have to reapply it occasionally, but that is a trade-off I am more than happy to make to wear my watch comfortably. If you have ever gotten a rash from the Apple Watch sensor, I would absolutely recommend trying this. It completely solved a problem I thought I just had to live with. Such a great find.

I have not been able to wear earrings for 10 years and then I found this product and now I can! It blocks the nickel that irritates my ears. I can now buy the cheapest earrings out there and wear with no issues! It is worth the cost it is easy to use, lasts a long time.

Some might find this a bit pricey, but not only have I found that this works well, I’ve also haven’t had to reapply it so far after several months, and I sweat a lot. It instructs you to reapply it as needed, but it goes a long way.

I bought this hoping that it would help and that I could wear a few pieces of my jewelry again. I painted this onto my necklace and earrings. I wore that necklace and earrings exactly twice. By day three, my neck was broken out in a swollen, red itchy rash. That was almost a week ago now and my rashes have gotten worse. It will take me a month for my skin to heal. This did not work at all and in fact, made everything worse.

I have been struggling with nickel sensitivity in jewelry my whole life and glad I found something safe and effective. Protects my skin against nickel irritation. Gave 4 stars because the protective coating can easily chip off and you have to recoat the whole thing in one smooth application (especially for earrings)
