This process could have a learning curve for sure! But the perfect amount of glue is dependent on the size of your nail bed.  

PRO TIPS

• Apply glue to the bottom 1/3 of the pre-buffed area of the nail, a little bit above the cuticle edge 
• Do not press so hard when applying the nail tip; stop right when the glue reaches your natural nail edge.  
• If the glue does not cover your entire nail bed or you see bubbles, take off the nail and apply more before curing.  

Clear nails only need 60 seconds to cure, but the sheer design nails must be cured at least 2x. If you feel you used a thick layer of glue with a clear nail tip, we recommend curing twice to make sure the glue is fully hardened all the way through.

No. The GelXtend soft gel glue is specially formulated to work with the GelXtend clear nail tips & pre-designed nails in the GelXtend product line.

No. Our product works best when you hold/press the nail for the full 60 seconds to ensure the best adhesion and long-lasting wear.

For the clear nails, absolutely! For our pre-designed nails, be cautious not to chip away at the nail design; it might cause the gel layers to become exposed and wear away. If you are between sizes and do not want to trim the larger size, size down.

We recommend getting a new nail from your set. However, if it is a pre-designed set and you are able to remove the glue from the artificial nail, you can re-use it. All nails are technically made for one-time use. 

The glue cannot be stored in conditions below 32° F, but not to worry; just let your glue sit in a cup of warm water until it softens back to normal!
