Great brush-on nail glue.
I use cuticle remover and prep my nails. I don't find it necessary to rough up the top of my nails with a file. Some people do.
After cleaning up, pushing back my cuticles and prepping my nails, I brush on a nail dehydrator before applying Glamnetic nail glue to my nails.
This is similar to using the alcohol wipes that come with the nails. I just prefer using nail dehydrator on my nails as an extra step to make sure there's no moisture under the press-on nails after I apply them.
I paint the brush-on glue to my nail then apply the nail and press down on the top of the press-on for about 10 seconds before moving on to the next nail.
This works for me. I prefer using their brush in the brush m-on glue bottle for a more even application. It's the same glue that comes with the nails only it comes with a brush.
I'm very rough on my nails. Between my procedure and this fantastic glue, the nails always stay on for me for longer than 2 weeks- until I soak them off.
The glue is so strong I have to soak them off in warm water with liquid soap and oil in it.
I love this brush-on glue and I love Glamnetic nails.
