This is for the glue, only (I didn't get the nails with it).I have done my own nails at home for a year or two at this point, but I wore acrylics and extensions for more than 15 at this point. That is to say, I am a bit of a nail snob now.Usually, I use regular nail glue with half-tip extensions (the kind that you glue on in the middle or upper quarter of your nails). I had accidentally ordered full nail extensions a year ago and just never used them. I decided to try them with this glue.Oh my heckin gawd!First, let me say this was ridiculously easy to apply. I put a dot of the glue on the full extension, bottom center. When I put it on, I slid the nail up and down and side to side a bit, to get the glue all over my natural nail. It took about one single second to do. Once I had that and could see there were no bubbles, I flash-UV'd the nail to set it, cleaned off the excess glue around the edges, and then moved on to my other fingers, doing the same thing. Once I had my 4 main nails done, I cured for just over a minute. I then did my other hand, and then both thumbs.Let me just say, WOW. These suckers are ON there. They don't budge, and the excess glue that I failed to clean off was actually super easy to remove (nail nippers).My nails hurt the rest of the evening, but that was because of the shape of the nails I used. It didn't hurt bad, just that tenderness you get when you put on a new set of acrylics after not wearing them for a week or two. It wasn't the glue's fault, it was just the shaping of the nails. The glue didn't even feel warm under the lamp.I've had them on for a full 24 hours now, and they feel solid. Like, I feel my actual nail would come off before these things would.I have one area that looks like I didn't get glue on that edge (operator error), but other than that, they look remarkable.I will report back how long they lasted once they start to come off (or I decided to switch them out), but as for an initial reaction, I am floored.I've attached two pictures. One is just a view of a few nails. You can see how perfectly flat they lay on my nails. There is some bubbling you can see at the tops of my fingers, that's excess glue I haven't removed yet. The other picture is my thumb nail where I didn't get the glue all the way to the edge. As you can see, there is a visual difference. Knowing this now, I know what to look for when I use this next time.

This glue duo literally kept my nails on for over a month. It was to the point where I’ve had to cut the nails off cause they were so grown out and hadn’t come off yet. I use Glamnetic nails + this glue to get my best looking and long lasting nails ever. I am the type of person that is always doing strenuous things with my hands (working in healthcare, cleaning, dishes, cooking, etc.) and my nails still last 4+ weeks with minimal lifting at the cuticle edge. I highly disagree with any negative review because this glue is the best one I’ve ever tried in the many years I’ve been wearing glue-on nails.

THIS GLUE WORKS!!! I’ve tried every kind of glue you can imagine for DIY full-cover nails and none of them stayed stuck for very long. Until now, the best I had used was solid gel glue but that was just too thick to really work for me. This glue leaves them all in the dust. Easy to use, easy to clean up and boy does it STICK!! (Make sure you do good prep for best results!) I like the nails, too (short coffins which aren’t really short but…). The way the nails are packaged is easier to get the right size of nail and the nails are durable without breaking or splitting. I’ve had this set on for a week now and everything is holding up really well. My search for the best DIY glue and nails is over. This is the best! Even better than the expensive name brands, too, IMHO.

I am a licensed nail tech, and I have TINY FLAT nail plates, so finding tips that fit well and are durable can be a struggle. I’m pretty happy with these.I wouldn’t really call these extra short (see provided photo) but they are pretty and they have been durable during the 10 days I’ve had them on, save for my index finger on my dominant hand. I do nails for a living & constantly have my hands in acetone so I’m not docking points for that!The only complaint I have is that they are not short enough for my baby fingers. I know, I can file them down, but the point of getting XS was so that I didn’t have to. Other than that, I like these tips! They come pre-etched so you don’t need to fiddle with that, they are very easy to size to the nail plate, and I did not use the smallest nail provided which is new for me. Love the different sizes (0-15)! I’ve had no issues with polish chipping off of the top although I DID use a buffing block to etch the surface like I do with any gel-x set. I wish they were shorter because I would buy them again!! I haven’t removed them yet but, to be fair, I don’t use e-files on myself or my clients and I always struggle to hand file gel-x down.The products I used were:BTArtBox X-Coat TipsYoung Nails prep/primerApres gel nail glueiGel beauty gel colored polish/top coatUnknown brand matte top coatMarkartt 3D art gelTGB BIAB for the nude color on the pinky/thumb

I normally do my nails with polygel and nail forms. But i wanted to try this type of product for a faster result. I bought this kit and a mini light. And let me tell you! I have never had a false nail bond to my nails the way this does! Its fantastic! Super easy to use! And they are on there super sturdy! I can't express how happy i am with this product. Almost two weeks and no signs of lifting or loosening.

Works well but I should have known it included methacrylate (HEMA). USE AT YOUR OWN RISK

I’ve bought these nails multiple times and I absolutely love them. They are sturdy and I have never had issues with these chipping unlike other brands. The tips fit perfectly as the size range is wide and I love how they’re transparent so I can paint over them however I choose.
