BTArtbox Nail Glue & Primer Set - 2 x 0.5 Fl Oz Acrylic French Ballerina Nail Gel, Long Lasting Super Strong 4 in 1 UV Nail Gel for Press On Nails

This is for the glue, only (I didn't get the nails with it). I have done my own nails at home for a year or two at this point, but I wore acrylics and extensions for more than 15 at this point. That is to say, I am a bit of a nail snob now. Usually, I use regular nail glue with half-tip extensions (the kind that you glue on in the middle or upper quarter of your nails). I had accidentally ordered full nail extensions a year ago and just never used them. I decided to try them with this glue. Oh my heckin gawd! First, let me say this was ridiculously easy to apply. I put a dot of the glue on the full extension, bottom center. When I put it on, I slid the nail up and down and side to side a bit, to get the glue all over my natural nail. It took about one single second to do. Once I had that and could see there were no bubbles, I flash-UV'd the nail to set it, cleaned off the excess glue around the edges, and then moved on to my other fingers, doing the same thing. Once I had my 4 main nails done, I cured for just over a minute. I then did my other hand, and then both thumbs. Let me just say, WOW. These suckers are ON there. They don't budge, and the excess glue that I failed to clean off was actually super easy to remove (nail nippers). My nails hurt the rest of the evening, but that was because of the shape of the nails I used. It didn't hurt bad, just that tenderness you get when you put on a new set of acrylics after not wearing them for a week or two. It wasn't the glue's fault, it was just the shaping of the nails. The glue didn't even feel warm under the lamp. I've had them on for a full 24 hours now, and they feel solid. Like, I feel my actual nail would come off before these things would. I have one area that looks like I didn't get glue on that edge (operator error), but other than that, they look remarkable. I will report back how long they lasted once they start to come off (or I decided to switch them out), but as for an initial reaction, I am floored. I've attached two pictures. One is just a view of a few nails. You can see how perfectly flat they lay on my nails. There is some bubbling you can see at the tops of my fingers, that's excess glue I haven't removed yet. The other picture is my thumb nail where I didn't get the glue all the way to the edge. As you can see, there is a visual difference. Knowing this now, I know what to look for when I use this next time.

Absolutely love this nail glue,my nails have been on for 19 days, and they have not budged, I used beetle and it itches and burns so much I have to take them off, this one itches still but way less then the other one, and not as aggressive, after a couple of minutes nothing, so I will purchase again, please follow the steps to prep, that is the most important for the nails to last. Quality is amazing, size is good, packaging is great. Looks good.

I've been doing my own nail with precolored gel extensions. I decided to go with the clear nails to improve on the lifting and air bubbles. I've got to say that these nails are lasting and easy to apply. Sturdy and barely any lifting for 3 weeks. Highly recommend. I have flat nail be⁰d and these nails fit well.

I am unsure what all the hype is about with this brand. Their fake nails were terrible, cheap, and easily break. In addition to being too long. I tried these "extra short tips". Nothing extra or short about them. They need to be shorter. They are better quality than their press on nails, and easier to paint them while they're attached the plastic piece before you take them off. Short? Nah. Please provide SHORT nails.

I'm new to this hobby, I don't have perfect execution, and prep skills which is why I appreciate that these are pre-prepped. It seriously saves so much time and I don't trust myself to do it right and evenly on my own so I super appreciate this being an option. I will say I'm not soooo new that I don't understand that there are different types of press on nails. I think the reviews that are claiming these are falsely advertised because they are called press-ons without being pre-glued are funny to me. There are different types of press-ons. The term press-on doesn't exclusively refer to pre-glued nails and there's no info in the description that says that they're pre-glued. This is advertised as full "matte" which has to do with them being pre-prepped and etched on both sides meaning there's a little bit of "tooth" to the surface for better adherance to your nails and better adherance of polish. It also says they are "soft gel" nails which means they're made out of a material that is designed to be cured under a UV lamp with a particular gel adhesive. You CAN use glue with them, but they're specifically made for UV application. So they're actually correctly advertised. I didn't do the UV gel method. It's too much for me, I prefer lacquers and I actually get really long wear out of them so I haven't felt the need to switch. I used Fastbond glue recommended my Sally Beauty employees and these things are fantastic. Kudos to them for the rec. These nails feel so strong. I don't have any fear of them popping off. For example I would usually use a butter knife to pop the tab of a soda can instead of risking loosening my nails if I got them done at a salon but with these I just use the nails. I've also been making my own DIY fluid art decals with cheap dollar store nail polish but I use a good base and top coat they haven't been chipping at all. I like that they're thinner at the base of the nail close to the cuticle and get thicker at the tips. They have a more natural look than salon nails while still having a more professionally done look to them. The extra small were perfect for my fairly average length nail beds. I did need to file back my natural nails just a little at the outer corners on a couple. I might try the short almond and coffin ones at some point when I'm feeling fancy but the extra short are perfect for daily wear.

The nails looked great, however they popped off almost immediately with the polish glue. Even though I prepped the nails properly and used the UV light as instructed. When I used regular kiss nail glue they still didn't last and constantly had to reglue so wouldn't recommend based off that.

BY FAR THE BEST GLUE! THIS IS SALON QUALITY BRAND. GET RID OF EVERY NAIL GLUE YOU HAVE AND BUY THIS!

These are the best. Really strong and lasts for up to two weeks. You get over 300 nails for such an affordable price. Only brand i use.
