Glue for tips

When it comes to nail extensions, one of the most important tools in a nail technician's kit is the glue used for tips. The right glue can make or break the look and longevity of your client's nail extensions, so it's important to choose a quality product and use it correctly.

Firstly, it's important to choose a glue that is specifically designed for nail extensions. Do not use regular household glue or industrial adhesives, as these can be harsh on the skin and nails, and may damage the natural nail.

When selecting a glue, look for one that is easy to apply, sets quickly, and holds strong. Some popular brands of nail extension glue include Star Nails, IBD, and NSI.

When applying the glue, use a small amount and apply it to the surface of the nail tip, then press the tip onto the natural nail, holding it in place for a few seconds until the glue sets. Be careful not to apply too much glue or get it on the skin, as this can cause irritation and discomfort.

It's important to note that nail extension glue is not a one-size-fits-all product. Some clients may have allergies or sensitivities to certain ingredients, so it's always a good idea to test the glue on a small patch of skin before using it on the whole nail.

In addition to selecting the right glue, proper maintenance of the nail extensions is also key to keeping them looking great. Encourage clients to avoid picking or biting at their nails, and to use gentle products and tools when cleaning and shaping the extensions.

In conclusion, a quality glue is essential for successful and long-lasting nail extensions. By choosing the right product and using it correctly, you can ensure that your clients leave your salon with beautiful, strong, and healthy-looking nails.
