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.

Love love this nail glue! I wear press ons to save $$ and this glue with the right prep keeps them on for weeks! It’s also not messy like a the squeeze bottles the brush makes it so easy

This has been the best nail glue for acrylic nails that I have tried. I'm rough on my nails and these glue lasts close to two weeks for me. Easy to apply, dries quick and reasonably priced.

This nail glue does the job for me! My nails stay on nice and tight without being too crazy hard to take off either! I’ve used this with a couple different brand of nails now even dollar store nails and they all sta on strong! Only thing for me is if you get a little too close to it when applying the fumes can kind of sting your eyes a bit? I’m not sure if that’s normal but it doesn’t bother me too bad and it fine after it dries anyway. Other than that I highly recommend!

Easy to use, durable and strong. May not last for an extended long time but if you are looking for it to last the weekend it's great for that.

Best nail glue on its own, but be careful... it can be like cement when applied with acrylic powder on handmade acrylic made press-ons! No joke!!! When I use this glue with commercial "off the shelf" press-ons, I apply glue to my nailbed then dip it in clear acrylic powder, then add glue to the underside of the press-on nail and apply (like a glue acrylic 'sandwhich'). Once all nails are applied I paint the underside of the nails with glue and dip the tips in acrylic powder to make the nails harder. Lasts for 2 weeks, easy to soak off... BUT! I made the mistake of doing this application technique with my handmade custom acrylic press-ons and oh boy did they stay on like cement! Lol Because of the price and intricate design of the handmade nails I like being able to soak them off in warm water and reapply for a second or third use to get my $ worth. I think because of the nails being thicker and harder in strength the glue/acrylic powder combo sealed in a way once applied where there was zero way to get water underneath to soak the nails off. I basically had to "melt" them off with acetone, which rendered them one wear and done. If I was taking a trip to a beach resort this would've been great to withstand salt water/chlorine and catching on luggage lifting etc, but that's the only time I'd do that again! Bottom line fantastic glue, be careful when using combined with acrylic powder on handmade nails if you plan to rewear them, because it holds as if they were "built" onto your actual nail in the salon. Lesson learned 😅

Its really good and holds up nails strongly. Just expensive for the size

Love the glue! However this is my 2nd bottle that the brush stuck to the bottle and I had to pull it apart. I got so frustrated the 1st time, I threw the remaining glue away. Not this time. I guess Ill buy a few bottles as carefully as I can, pore 1 n2 the next 1?
