Beetles Gel Polish 9 in 1 Nail Glue with New Formula, 0.5 Fl Oz

I am a man that has had the unfortunate habit of chewing my nails for most of my life. I have tried just about every therapy or product there isand another works except getting acrylic or using fake nails. I dont even have the urge to put my nails near my face. Since it's so expensive to go to the salon every 3 weeks, I started doing it myself. PRO: This beetles brand glue is amazing, it is thick but not too thick when applied and it spreads out well so you don't need to use a ton of it. As long as i remember to rough up the nail before applying it, I can get about 3-4 weeks easy before needing to change nails and the bond is still strong. So as far as glues go, this one wins by all accounts so far. CON: if you don't know how these curing glues or super glues bond, the chemicals they are made of get hot as the curing happens. Depending on the thickness of your nails and your curing light, this glue gets really hot and almost burns your finger, you may have a different experience than I do. I have a strong curing lamp and I need to do it in 2-3 second bursts to tolerate the burn until its fully cured. It's not a deal breaker, but something to be aware of. I don't mind it though once I'm done because I know it'll hold for weeks. Cheers!

This stuff works as in works almost too well so here’s some tips from my trial and error so you can avoid the error. 1. I used a very thin coat , BE SPARING, but just a thin covering coat on real nail 2. Paint the glue underneath fake nail THINLY on the part that will be touching your real nail and then as if you are cleaning off the nail brush, scrape the excess glue on brush by the cuticle area of fake nail. It will look just like if you had too much polish on a brush and you scraped it on side of polish bottle . Not so much that it oozes out everywhere but a small dollop enough to coat your nail when you press the fake nail onto your nail bed. Your goal is enough that when you press down on fake nail that the glue spreads evenly between your real nail and fake nail without spilling all over the sides of nails. If you have a little bit that comes out, just wipe off with a nail brush or whatever you have that will work 2. It’s a pain to try to hold onto the fake nail that keeps popping up from your real nail before curing, but you need to position the nail straight SOOO what worked for me was curing the nail for 3-5 seconds (start at 3 seconds) WHILE I am holding the fake nail in place so the fake nail can still be moved a little but is now tacky enough to grip your real nail and won’t fall off or pop up from your real nail . Once you have it in position perfectly, press down and put nail in light for about 20-30 seconds … IT IS NOT MOVING NOW SO I HOPE YOU GOT IT STRAIGHT…. Not moving as in day 15 for me and I’m wondering if I may need to use my little nail dremel file tool to get them off. I used to nail glue that will pop in 2-7 days so this was definitely different. 3. IMPORTANT and almost a MUST… buy a mini light on Amazon to cure the glue. It is ALMOST impossible to use a standard UV curing light that you put your hand in because the glued nail has to be held in place before using the curing light and a mini just makes it so much easier and less messy and less error . You can’t hold the nail in place with one hand and use a standard cure light at the same time without messes or crooked nails . My light was $6 on amazon so don’t think more expensive is better 4. LISTEN LINDA… do not get the glue all applied and ready to be cured and then put your finger directly under the UV light almost touching it while keeping finger completely still. IT WILL HURT I PROMISE as in like 👹 is resurrecting from your nail bed because even he can’t take the heat and pain. Instead place finger about 1-2 inches from your mini light and wave finger back and forth a little . It will feel warm and uncomfortable the first few seconds but NOTHING like sticking right under the lamp and leaving it there. That was about 7-10 seconds of unsolicited torture I went through , so don’t be me, be better and wave wave wave the hand queen!! After you get the initial waving back and forth done the rest of the time should be comfortable enough to keep your nails stationary until completely cured. 5. If you have cured glue for more than 30 sec and your fake nail is moving around or feels gummy underneath the fake nail…either fake nails aren’t clear, too much glue used, or not enough curing time probably because the glue doesn’t take as long to cure as regular gel polish does . Also in case this doesn’t go without saying, you MUST MUST MUST be using clear press on nails or tips or the light will not be able to penetrate an opaque nail and then it will not cure. With my little clamp on mini light glue was hard as a rock in less than 15 sec but to be somewhat cognizant of the directions I cured for a complete 30 seconds . A little longer or a little less for you is possible as it will depend on your light. Hope this helps gorgeous people!! 🫶🏼

This Beetles 9-in-1 gel nail glue works great. It’s strong, easy to apply, and very versatile. I used it for nail extensions and as a base, and it holds really well after curing under a UV/LED lamp. The consistency is perfect—not too thick or too runny—so it’s easy to control, even for beginners. My nails stayed secure for days without lifting or breaking. Great quality for the price and a must-have if you do your nails at home. I would definitely buy it again

I don't know about the 9-in-1 shenanigans, I don't personally believe any one product can do that many things, but in all fairness I have only ever used it as nail glue. I use it with Beetles nail extensions and my sets usually last about 1-1/2 to 2 weeks. I remove them after 2 weeks because they have grown out, I do not know how long they would last if I just let them go. Make sure there are not any bubbles and FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ON YOUR NAIL EXTENSIONS! Some extensions require a base coat before the nail glue application, some do not. I use this with Beetles extensions, so I cannot attest to how it works with other brands. (For the record I also recommend Beetles extensions)

So I'm new to the nail polish and nail world, and I've been experimenting a lot. I've found I really like gel nail polishes, and wanted to try on the glue and press-on nails. Tried this glue, and initially, they looked great, felt great, and I felt I did a great job applying the glue for the nails. The nails looked great too! But apparently my body is allergic to some of the ingredients, because my fingers swelled, I've got hives now, and they're very itchy. Giving a 4/5 stars because of the allergic reaction, BUT the difficulty getting the nails back off attests to the strength of them. I was fighting for my life getting those nails off and removing the glue lol

this is a very good product and gives 4 week retention!!

Easy to use. I love it.

The first picture is about an hour after using the glue. It holds very strong and is great glue. It stings slightly when curing but that seemed normal to me. I’ve used this glue on 2 previous sets and had no issues. I’ve used the glue on my friends nails and had no issues as well. I don’t know what it was this time but I had what seems to be an allergic reaction to the glue on both of my thumbs. I knew some of it spilled out from under the nail I glued on but i just wiped it off. Now my thumbs are swollen, red, painful, itchy and cracking open. It’s a really strong glue but I would be very careful if you have sensitive skin to not let the glue touch your skin or cure on your skin

Really good bond for gel tip/extensions. I always have trouble with gel just peeling off my nails but this holds really well. Really smooth application too, just the right consistency. Very happy and excited to try out the different applications

I love the brad and these are the only nail glue I buy because of how well it works

The consistency is good so it’s easy to control and it cures quickly under a lamp. My nails stayed on solid for over a week without lifting. A little goes a long way too, so the bottle should last a while.

Great for my nails and keeps them on!

Très bon produit pour les ongles
