I bought this nail glue after seeing all the 3D nail designs trending on social media, and it has worked perfectly for that purpose. It’s strong enough to secure 3D flowers and other raised decorations without them shifting or popping off. I also struggle with extensions falling off no matter what glue I use, so I was surprised at how well this one holds. With this glue, my nail extensions stay on for multiple weeks at a time. The formula is easy to work with—it’s not overly sticky, but it has just the right amount of tack to give a secure, long-lasting hold. Overall, this glue has made both my nail art and my extensions last much longer, and it’s been really reliable. Read more
Like Holy Water is to Catholics, this glue is to the Beetles full coverage almond nail tips! And that gem 💎 of a nail lamp I ordered too! Omg once you finally get the consistency down with the malleable glue you will never go back to using super glue on your nails 💅! My nails are growing and instead of being sucked dry of any of their natural moisture- they’re firm and have firm growth nail beds! No they don’t have any moisture and no fungus! It doesn’t chip! But because it’s malleable you’ll need cuticle trimmers for cutting and cleaning up. Read more

I wanted to like this, and I really like how strong it is. My issue is that when you apply it, it's so viscous you run the risk of doing too little or too much. When using the gel lamp to apply the nails I found it hard to get all the air bubbles out. It does cure fast but again the formula is so thin that it doesn't stick very well when applying press ons. I think this is a great adhesive for something like rhinestones and charms, this glue sticks like you owe it rent, it won't go anywhere. That said though, when using it for press ons, I got greenies for the first time in my life. Greenies are little bacterial infections that thrive in moisture, and the reason I got them is that I couldn't manage to get a tight seal with the glue. I love beetles products and I'm certainly not going to stop using them, but this glue as a press on adhesive is not for me. Plus, I accidentally spilled the beetles matte top coat on my jeans and didn't notice for a few hours and developed a gel allergy, so I can't see myself trying to work with this glue again. Nowadays I do my press ons with gel on a stand then apply with a safe glue like the glamnetic, which also lasts but arguably not as long as this glue lasts, so credit where it's due for sure.
