Beetles 9 In 1 Nail Glue Gel, 2Pcs 20ml Large Size Set for Nail Tips & Clear Press-On Nails, Self-Leveling Extension Gel, Designed for Frequent Use, DIY & Salon Ready, UV/LED Cured

This Beetles nail glue set is a really nice upgrade from regular nail glue. You get two bottles (about the size of nail polish), which is great for the price and should last a while. The biggest thing to know is that this is a UV-cured glue—you must have a UV/LED lamp for it to work, and it does not come included. Once you have that, though, it works really well. I love the process of applying the glue, curing it, then pressing on the nails and curing again—it really helps them stay on better compared to standard glue. It’s also very versatile. You can use it as a base coat, for applying gems, or even for nail designs—they advertise it as “9-in-1,” and it definitely feels like a multi-use product. I’m not super advanced with nails, and this still felt easy enough to use with my lamp, especially for press-ons. It’s definitely different from traditional nail glue, but in a good way. Overall, a great option if you already have a UV lamp and want something that holds better and does more than basic nail glue.

I tested this nail glue gel set for press-on and nail tip application, and it performed impressively well. The self-leveling formula was easy to work with — it spread smoothly without bubbling or running, and it cured cleanly under a UV/LED lamp. The bond was strong from the first use, and my press-ons stayed firmly in place for several days without any lifting. Having two full 20ml bottles in the kit was a genuine value, especially compared to smaller single-bottle sets I had used previously. The gel was clear and glossy once cured, which didn't affect the final nail look at all. Whether for DIY at-home use or for more frequent salon-style application, this kit held up. I would confidently recommend it to anyone who regularly uses press-ons or nail extensions.

Beetles UV/LED nail glue comes in a two pack for $12.99. Pros: - it's a great price for two full sized bottles - the product does work well as a base coat and then UV/led glue for soft gel nails - While i have only used it as a base and as a glue, its supposed to also be good for blooming gel, slip solution or builder gel but im a little skeptical Cons: - do not get this on your skin, this formula is not hema free and it can lead to allergies if you make skin contact. Overall these are good for home use but its really important to follow instructions and make sure you cure them for 90 seconds to avoid allergies or sensitivies. As a glue this works well but needs to be soaked off.

I tried this nail glue gel for press-on nails and nail tip application at home. The packaging and applicator are actually well designed. The gel dispenses easily and the applicator makes it simple to control how much product comes out, which I appreciated for more precise placement. However, I had significant issues with the performance of the gel itself. It tends to spread very easily and got messy quickly because it did not cure with UV light, making it hard to keep it only where I wanted it. The biggest problem was curing. Even after using a UV/LED lamp as directed, it never fully hardened for me. It stayed tacky and did not set properly, which made the nails feel unstable and not secure enough for regular wear. The smell was also very strong during use. My daughter described it as smelling like burning hair, and while that is not my exact description, it does have a harsh chemical odor that is noticeable while curing. The applicator is the strongest part of this product, but the curing performance and messiness made it difficult to get reliable results for nail application.

There are 8 steps for using this product, and nail prep is very important. First you push in and trim the cuticles, buff the nail surface with a nail buffer, wipe your nail with alcohol to remove the dust from the buffing, find the proper size nail tip for the nail you intend to glue it on, put a thin layer of the glue on the nail as you would normal nail polish (this acts as a base coat and you let it cure for a minute before proceeding to the next step), apply glue to the back of your nail tip, press on your fake nails and let it sit for another minute, and last you can style your fake nails with styling tools. I ordered this for my teenage granddaughter who frequently wears fake, glue-on nails. She reported to me that the glue holds very well and the odor isn't too off-putting, however she did say that the glue causes chemical burns, so she is not able to use it. I would say if you are going to use this, maybe try it on one nail first and see if you have any kind of a reaction to the glue. If not, then you are probably safe to use it on all of your nails, but please do use with caution before you know how your skin will react to the chemicals in the glue. It comes in bottles colored both white and black, and it is the same product as far as I can tell.

Beetles 9-in-1 Nail Glue Gel is a solid multi-tasker. It isn't just a basic glue; it functions as a base coat, a nail strengthener, and even works for attaching rhinestones. I used a UV lamp, and I’m going to see how long I can keep this set on. It feels much more like a salon acrylic bond than a standard air-dry glue. Unlike liquid glue that sets instantly (and often crookedly), this gel stays wet until you cure it. This gives you plenty of time to slide the nail into the perfect position. It also adds a noticeable layer of reinforcement to the natural nail, which helps prevent snapping if you have thin nails. For a budget-friendly "all-in-one" kit, the Beetles gel is a good glue to have in your home kit. The attached picture is after 2 weeks and there is no sign of loosening or lifting. I’ve banged them into things and they are holding strong!!

A basic starter brand, Beetles is a known brand I would trust. Good size bottles. Of note this nail glue requires curing with a UV/LED light so be aware of that. This is not if you are looking for a quick non-cure glue. However because it requires curing it does seem to last thus far.
