Solid nail glue is a fantastic option for a long-lasting, secure hold. For best results, please follow these steps carefully:
- Prep Your Natural Nail: Use a nail file to gently buff the surface of your natural nail. This removes the shiny top layer and any oils, creating a rough texture for a stronger bond.
- Clean the Nail: Wipe each nail thoroughly with an alcohol prep pad to remove all dust and residue. Allow your nails to dry completely.
- Apply the Solid Glue: Important: Do not apply the glue directly from the jar to your nail. Instead, use the edge of your press-on nail to scoop out a small, pea-sized amount of the solid glue.
- Place and Press: Hold the press-on nail at a 45-degree angle. Place it about halfway down your natural nail and firmly push the nail backward towards your cuticle, squeezing the glue forward as you go. Once positioned correctly, apply strong pressure for 30-60 seconds to secure the bond.
- Clean Up Excess: If any glue seeps out around the sides, you can easily scrape it off with an orange stick. This excess glue can be returned to the jar for future use.
- Cure Under a LED/Lamp: This step is crucial! Cure the nails under a LED or UV lamp for 60 seconds. Ensure you position your hand so that the light reaches the top, sides, and the free edge (tip) of the nail for a complete and durable set.
How Long Does It Last?
When applied correctly with the curing step, solid nail glue can allow your press-on nails to last for over 2 weeks.
💡 Pro Tip: Solid nail glue is ideal for customers with flatter nail beds, as it can help to create a more pronounced, curved shape (C-curve). The curing process ensures an ultra-strong, durable hold.
