Super Strong Nail Glue for Press On Nails, Nail Tips & Acrylic Nails (8ml) NYK1 NailBond Brush On Glue for Press Ons, Tips & Acrylics - Long Lasting, Maximum Strength, Mess-Free Application

I've tried 5+ of the top rated Amazon nail glues and this is the best one by far. It worked even better than using acrylic and monomer to adhere my press on.My nails generally last 2+ weeks with this glue.Here are my tips/tricks:-Plan ahead! Avoid water for as long as you can after you apply your nails. I like to do mine late afternoon or evening and I avoid water (showers, hand washing, dishes) until the next day. Exposure to water in general breaks down the glue, this is especially true in the 12 hours after they have been applied and are caring.- it is super important that you don't touch anything including your phone, Door knobs, remotes during the nail application process. I give myself 30 minute typically. I will turn something on the TV an let it auto play. All of these surfaces have oils and bacteria that will contaminate your nails and can weaken the glue.- always protect the nails!- don't use your nails to open soda cans. Use a butter knife or other utensil to lift the tab. (Or ask someone to open it for you).- avoid anything that puts direct pressure on your nails. Don't try to remove a sticker lable with them or o pry something with them.- when you grab things don't dig in your nails. Try to put the pressure on your palms or finger tips; not the nails.- no long exposure to water as this will weaken the glue.-Use hand sanitizer when you can.- If you have to do dishes, wash a dog, scrub a floor ect. use dish gloves.- wear gloves when gardening or messing with soil. Soil has bacteria that can get trapped under the press on nails and it can turn your natural nails green.-avoid getting greasy lotions on/around your nails. The mix of oil and moisture will break down the glue.-Vialsss on social media has great tutorials on how to do everyday tasks with long/fake nails. There are many great online tutorials on how to protect your nails.- If you lose a nail. Try to file away the excess glue on the nail before you reapply it. Wipe your natural nail and the press-on down with rubbing alcohol to kill off bacteria before you reapply it!To apply the nails you will need:Nails, this glue, cuticle pusher, nail file, nail clippers, cotton pads, acetone nail polish remover, 70% rubbing alcohol or alcohol wipes/pads, nail dehydrator.My steps for application are:-Wash your hands with dish soap before you start to remove all oils and contaminates.- trim your nails, push back the cuticles, lightly... Lightly! (just take away the shine) file your nails to give a rough surface the glue can stick to.- Wipe your nails down with "pure" acetone. Do not use the nail strengthening or the non-acetone removers as they often leave contaminates (thing that will make your nail glue not stick) behind on your nails. This step helps remove the natural oils and debris from pushing back the cuticles and filing.-I size my nails at this point (pop them out, try them on if need be and line them up in order of application).- I wipe down my nails and finger tips again with a cotton pad with 70% rubbing alcohol in case I came in contact with oils or other contaminates during the sizing process. This also kills bacteria.- I use a nail dehydration on my nails.- I apply one nail at a time. This glue dries super fast. I start with my pointer finger first as it get the most use and needs the strongest bond. I also do one hand at a time.- apply the glue to your nail. A thin coat on the whole nail. ​You don't need a thick coating. I find for me my nails last longer if I only apply it to my natural nails and don't put any on the press on. One dip in the bottle is enough to coat each nail generally (might need to redip for big thumbs). I have big hands and one dip is usually fine.- I apply the press-on starting at the base of my nail. Pushing it down from the base of the nail to the tip to squeeze out any air bubbles. I then use my thumb and the knuckle/side of my forefinger of the opposite hand to firmly hold the nail in place while the glue dries (see weird photo). Hold in place for 20 seconds or so.-Flip your finger over and swipe some glue along the underside where the the tip of your natural nail ends and the press on continues. (See photo). This will extend the life of the nail for days. It will help keep your nails from lifting and will keep moisture from seeping in under the nail and weakening the glue.- do every nail this way.- cuticle oil if you have it when you are done. If you want to.-wait at least 10 minutes before you file them to make sure the glue has had enough time to set.Soak off removal: (takes 20-30 minutes) this method protects the press on nails so that they could theoretically be reused.You will need: a bowl, dish soap, warm water, acetone, cotton pads (cuticle pusher not the sharp type, nail file, both optional)-Take a few squirts of dish soap and add it to a bowl of warm to hot water (as warm as you can stand).- Turn on a episode of your favorite show.- Soak your hands in the warm water w/soap for 10 minutes or so. make sure the nails are covered completly in water.- With your nails (or the cuticle pusher) push/ gently pry around the edges of your nail to see if they are loosening. Some should be loosening. I also pinch the nails on the sides between my thumb an forefinger to see if they are loosening. I refill the warm soapy water as it has gotten cold.- Soak another 10 minutes.- Some of the nails should be lifting, I will gently see if they want to pop off by pinching and lightly pulling on them. I place the edge of my thumb nail under the loose nail and give it a gentle flick. If you can't flick them off with a gentle flick then soak them for longer. You want them pretty much falling off. you may want to refresh your soapy water. Definitly soak for longer if they are not practically popping off.- Once all the nails have popped off there will be a little lingering glue. You can file it lightly with a nail file and then remove it with acetone. Or skip the filing and just remove the residue with acetone. This glue wont just rub off. I saturate a cotton pad and hold it on the nail for 30 seconds and then try to wipe away the glue residue.Acentone Soak Removal: (note, I don't reuse my nails. I buy them for under $1 a set. This method will melt them)You will need: plastic gloves, acetone nail polish remover, cotton pads, rubber bands or hair ties.- remove all hand and wrist jewelry- cut 5 cotton pads in half and place them into the finger tips of the gloves.- rubber bands around your writs.- pour a cap full of acetone in each finger (I just guess).- put your hands in the gloves, put the rubber bands over the edges of the gloves on your wrist to seal it tight.- sit finger tips down for 20 minutes while the nails and glue melt. I will occasionally pinch and twist the tips with the cotton pads to help remove the nails.- once the nails have dissolved I remove the gloves. Wipe my nails down with fresh acetone soaked cotton pads to remove any residue.

This glue works great. I can wear a set of qualit press-ons from Amazon for a week or two without any (or just one or two) popping off. It’s pricey for nail glue in a small bottle, but since it works so well, I have continued to purchase this product numerous times. It goes on sale for $10 quite regularly, which I appreciate. I keep the bottles of glue that are included with the press-ons in my purse or desk just in case, but I usually have to reapply with this glue within a day for more longevity. Picture is 9 days after application, and so far just the thumb popped off once.

I’m not the type to typically leave a review, good or bad. But when something is GREATi fee the need to let the others know. And this glue is AMAZING! My nails were on for a little over three weeks and I had to literally pop them off myself so I can get a different set on in time for the holiday. Otherwise who knows how long they would have been on. My acrylic nails from the salon never even lasted that long and I would pay 50-60 bucks each visit (every two weeks). This is a game changer AND a money saver!I did as another commenter stated and avoided water as much as possible for 24 hours. Seems like a hard task but I did my nails on my day off after my house cleaning, hair shampooing/styling and showering. And if my hands needed to be washed I would do a quick wash followed by hand sanitizing wipes.

After reading many many reviews for probably 20 different kinds of nail polish glue. I chose this one. I cannot grow a fingernail and I’ve never been able to, but I’ve always liked the look of ladies hands with nice pretty nails. Yesterday when I received them, I immediately prepared my hands, clean them alcohol swabbed, and got them ready to put on the French manicure that I had chosen. I was worried that the nail would be like paper thin and that’s something you really have to be careful with if you’re trying to pull off that these nails are actually either yours or that you go to the salon and get tips. I’m happy to say they’re not too thin and flimsy and they’re not so thick that they look like I did them myself. The only problem I did have was out of all the glue. I chose this glue because of the ratings that I had read how they had used it, and it had kept their nails on for up to 10 days and so the glue itself does work very well. My problem with it is inside the bottle itself. There is a tiny portion of nail polish remover it actually took me one entire bottle to get all 10 nails on the polish was expensive at $10. Most of them run anywhere from $1.80 to 3 dollars but after reading the reviews as I’ve said, I felt pretty good about making this purchase well my nails are still on nice and strong. They definitely have not shown any signs of tearing so the only suggestion for me would be to add more of the glue itself inside of the bottle so you can carry it with you if you’re going out in case your nail starts to feel loose, but I will shop this selection again that’s why I said that Nails the color they offer. Good quality and as well as many shapes and beautiful colors to choose from I myself prefer the small blocked off so hopefully I just got a bottle of glue that had not been filled properly before being shipped. I will definitely be back and spread the word.

I read a lot of reviews before buying this nail glue. It’s hands-down the easiest product to use. I paint a layer of it on my natural nail, and a tiny bead of the glue on the acrylic nail. I’m learning to use it sparingly because it works really well. It works best if you firmly press the acrylic nail to your natural nail for at least 20 to 30 seconds each so the contact will be secured..Removing the nails take a little time, so be ready with acetone, an orange stick, and a scraper tool. It’s worth the effort, though, because this glue will hold tight for nearly two weeks. I wash my hands and use hand sanitizer A LOT, and my nails do not budge. (Unbiased, unsolicited review…just genuinely trying to help.) 😊
