Makartt Solid Nail Glue Gel - Cherice Super Strong Long-Lasting Adhesive for Press on and Acrylic Nails, 3D Sculpting for Art DIY Home Salon, 15ML UV Light Cured

I was using uv nail glue. By the end of the day or next day the nails were already coming off. Was very skeptical about this based on the reviews, but I took a chance and am very glad I did. Like others have stated it was quite solid when I received. But I placed the jar in a small bowl of microwaved water and it softened. I did have to do that a couple of times to keep it soft but even when it harden up I still had not issues using, was just easier when soft. Being my first time using this type of product it did take a little bit of trial and error but after doing 2 nails I figured it out. You don't want it to be too soft as it is a solid nail glue. Following the product directions, I first filed the underside of the artificial nail and my own nails. What worked for me was to scoop a little bit out (little goes a long way) and worked onto the artificial nail...just a thin layer. I spread it out a little bit to make it a thin even layer. Not nearly the amount they show in the ad. Then starting at the cuticle, laid it onto my nail then pressed down firmly (was more like squeezed the crap out of my finger tips). Didn't get a single air bubble. If it was a little crooked I just slowing slid to where it needed to be. Any excess glue that came out around the nail I just cleaned it away with nail scissors and cuticle scraper. Then cured for 90secs. An extra perk is with this glue you do not need to hold it down before curing. Once I pressed it firmly onto my nail it stayed put. Enough so I was even able to cut them before curing. Stayed so well i almost forgot they weren't cured. I work in a warehouse and my hands and nails go through hell between loading an unloads pallets 40hrs a week. I've tried letting my natural nails grow, but with my rough job they keep breaking. With this glue my nails have lasted almost 2 weeks and still going strong. And not a single one is close to being loose. I evening tested on opening a couple soda cans and not even a wiggle. Will update with how long they last and how easy they are to remove in the future. Sorry for the lengthy review but hope this helps. I would highly recommend and will definitely purchase again.*Update* My nails lasted about a month but even then they were not loose or falling off. I did find a better way of keeping the glue soft. I placed the tub that the glue comes in onto my wax warmer. That kept it at a good soft consistency. Did not get so hot as to melt the container or make the glue runny. I have included a photo of the type of warmer that I used. It is one that uses a light bulb to create heat. As for removal, I just file the top as thin as I can go before getting to my actual nails and then use gel nail glue remover.

I recently tried the Makartt Solid Nail Glue, and while it has some positives, it didn't quite live up to my expectations for use as a traditional glue gel. The application process was incredibly easy, as the glue has a smooth consistency and is simple to spread onto both my natural nails and the press-on nails. It also has a convenient, mess-free texture that doesn't spill or drip, making it easy to handle.However, when it came to actually holding the press-on nails in place, I was disappointed. Despite properly prepping both my natural nails and the false nails, the glue would initially hold the nails in place, but after a couple of days, the rubbery gel would start to pop off. The bond wasn’t as strong as I'd hoped, and the gel remained flexible and rubbery, making it ineffective for long-lasting wear.On the plus side, I think this glue would work wonderfully for 3D nail art, as its flexible and non-drip nature makes it ideal for attaching embellishments, gems, or other decorative pieces without the risk of creating a mess. Overall, while I wouldn't recommend this for securing press-on nails, it could be a great option for art-focused applications.

I really wanted this to work because I hate having to hold my soft gel nail tips while curing. I read a bunch of reviews of the 4-5 most popular gels and decided to go with this one. I always PREP my nails really well every time it’s nail day (takes me at least 2 hours for removal of the old tips and fresh nail prep alone). Also all of my new tips prepped and etched and primer on, etc. and then put them on with this hard gel, not too much and not too little, then cured for 3 minutes which is more than recommended. It was cool how much easier it seemed to be, I went to sleep when I was done and the next morning I was fidgeting with my nails as I often do and I barely pushed on one of them and it peeled right off. The solid gel stayed stuck to my natural nail really well, but in no way was it stuck to my tip any better than the sticky stuff that you get from store bought press ons. I had to use my e-file to buff this glue off and even then it was really difficult to remove and acetone was hardly helping. I eventually grabbed part of it with my cuticle nippers and slowly peeled off the layer-which I shouldn’t be able to do either but it was easier than trying to buff it off. I made sure the gel was warm. I made sure there were no air bubbles. I made sure to not touch it and used a metal spatula. I personally wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I’ve been doing my nails for a year now and so far the best adhesive I’ve used is the Gelish tip adhesive which is also super super thick but my nails easily last a month with that stuff. Bummed.

Ok i am a complete beginner, I know VERY little about doing nails (only what certified nail technicians have told me) but I did my nails by myself for the first time using this and I must say I am super impressed. First of all dont use your bare hands to put on nail or whatever the oils from your hands will mess up the gummy and that's why some people have trouble with having it last. I used a small metal spatula to put on nail before I put it on. This would have lasted longer than 2 weeks if I wasn't so impatient or had nail biting anxiety. I have hit my nails on things and used my nails to open soda cans and nothing made them pop off but when i did end up taking it off it was super easy like waaay easier than I expected. It really holds well. It was little to no mess when applying. It was just "stringy" that's the only "mess" you will get. I cured it for 2 minutes (just to be safe but I don't think it really needed it). Once these run out I am DEFINITELY buying again.

Ill give it a 3 star its good for a few hours but its not long lasting i did my nails lastnight at 5pm and they all started poping off at 7am dismorning i had very high hopes
