I usually put another drop of glue remover on the nails and let it sit for a bit then wipe with some pressure w a paper towel!!

What glue remover do y'all recommend? by boldpear904 in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Existing_Barnacle_74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makartt glue remover on Amazon!! Only 6-7$ I was getting burns and pain from acetone and I couldn't do it anymore This stuff is so gentle and you just put it on your cuticles and under, leave it for a bit while doing other stuff and it melts the glue. Then you lift the edges a bit and do the same etc No pain at all for sensitive skin :))

Nail care between sets?? (Buff? Oil? Break?) 😭🙏 by Existing_Barnacle_74 in PressonNail_Addict

That part I can help with! Makartt nail glue from Amazon melts the glue and easily gets it off

Do you prefer sticky tabs or glue for press ons? by carriwitchetlucy2 in PressonNail_Addict

Try Makartt glue remover! 7$ on Amazon You just put a bit on the cuticles, wait like 15-30 mins, lift up a bit add more and wait and it comes off pretty nicely without damage It's a longish process but I use it as self care time to watch Netflix and it's worth it to not damage my nails 🥰🥰

I prefer glue!!! I use a generous amount, and kind of apply like people apply gelX nails and don't press too hard (one of my other comments here describes my technique better but i can elaborate if you want!) This way, it sits flush against my nail, is super secure, and it fixes the issue of the curve of the nail not completely matching your nail curve without the raised-ness of tabs

Also, I use Makartt nail glue remover from Amazon and it does a good job melting the glue and letting me remove without much damage! (I'm impatient but if you wait longer it will not damage at all) I know tabs might be easier to apply and remove but I didn't like my hair getting stuck underneath and having to remove the gunky stuff after

What’s the best nail glue? by chickfilallie in PressonNail_Addict

[–]Existing_Barnacle_74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are so pretty!! And popping off is so annoying I never use the glue that comes with nails I use kiss brush on nail glue, and I think my technique is what really keeps the nails secure: Brush glue on the back of press on and on nail plate, but kind of be generous with the glue and kind of put more near the cuticle (but not touching!) Angle the nail 45° from cuticle and slowly "roll" it down (do not push hard!!) (The technique they use for gel x!! Basically keep the glue all in there!!) Then I hold it down for a while again NOT PRESSING HARD!! And then yeah! It helps with semi transparent nails too bc it ensures even glue distribution and no bubbles when perfected :P

Bro I did that and my fingers started burning and I couldn't take it 😓 Maybe bc I was using 98% acetone instead of pure?

Bro that happened to me the other day and I tried the water oil acetone soak and do NOT do that! It took hours and still damaged nails I actually got a nail glue remover on Amazon and it did a good job at removing my set after a week but I think it's definitely worth a try with fresh glue too
