The Ultimate Guide to Press-On Nails: Best Glues for Durability Without Damage!

Hey loves! If you're as obsessed with press-on nails as I am but hate the damage traditional glues can cause, I've got some game-changing info for you. After 5 years of being a press-on nail enthusiast and trying out all sorts of adhesives, I stumbled upon this solid glue on Amazon, and let me tell you, it was love at first use.  Think of it as the perfect blend between a stick pad and your usual nail glue. It's mess-free, super newbie-friendly, and, best of all, a cinch to remove!

Just apply the solid glue onto your press-on nail, use a nail stick to spread it evenly so it's about the size of your natural nail, kinda like you would with a stick pad. Wiggle it a bit to ensure the glue spreads evenly across your nail, press down firmly,don't worry about any excess just yet, and cure it under a nail lamp for 20 seconds to make things easier to clean up. Continue curing - if your press-on is clear, it'll need about a minute, but darker shades might take two.

The result? Super durable press-ons that can withstand just about anything, yes, even potato peeling. And if you're not using your nails as kitchen tools daily, you're looking at a solid 2-3 weeks of wear.

Removal is just as easy as peeling off a stick pad, but you might want to soak them a tad longer in water first. The only minor inconvenience? You'll need a nail lamp for about 20 minutes total, but that beats a salon visit any day.

Remember, prepping your nails is crucial. Make sure they're clean and that the press-on's curve matches your own to avoid any gaps or bubbles, which can shorten the wear time. Need help with mismatched nail curves or other tips? Check out more of my videos or head over to my website.

Take care of your nails, and they'll take care of you.
