Tired of a Messy Sticky Nose

image

Are you tired of the messy Latex adhesive you have to use to stick on your nose? Are you frustrated with the nose falling off in the hot, summer months? Do you wish you didn't have to take time to dissolve the Latex Adhesive buildup inside the nose?

Well folks, Step right up and listen to the newest way to stick on your nose. It's called "STICKY STUFF" and it was designed to solve all the above mentioned problems. Sticky Stuff is a double sided prosthetic tape that works great. The best part... at the end of the day, simply remove your nose and throw away the strip of used tape.... results...A clean, shiny looking professional nose.
