A super practical guide to the 9 functional nail glues

New manicurists, are you curious about those nail glues with different functions? Today, let me analyze the functional glues that are essential for manicurists in depth!

Base glue: As the foundation of manicure, Nail Base Coat is used to isolate nail polish and nail surface to prevent staining. It contains resin and photoinitiator, which can enhance the adhesion of nail polish and protect nails from staining and damage.

Peelable base glue: This base glue can be peeled off directly without nail polish remover, which is very suitable for practicing and quickly changing nail art designs.

Seal coat: The seal coat is the last step of manicure, which is used to protect the nail art pattern and increase the gloss. The wash-free seal coat is convenient and fast, while the scrub seal coat needs to use cleaning fluid to wipe off the floating glue on the surface, providing a longer-lasting gloss.

Reinforcement glue: If your nails are thin or brittle, reinforcement glue can provide extra strength and protection. It contains more resin and filler to help repair the unevenness of the nail surface.

Phototherapy extension glue: It is used to extend nails and provide a solid support. It has a high hardness and is suitable for construction and reinforcement of the nail surface, making your nail art more durable.

Diamond glue: This glue has super strong viscosity and is suitable for sticking various nail decorations, such as diamonds, pearls, etc., to make your nail art more shining.

Softener: Used to soften the cuticle around the nails, making it easier to remove dead skin and prepare for nail art. The main ingredient is a mild chemical solvent, and excessive use may cause dryness or sensitivity of the skin.

Balancing liquid/anti-warping agent: Used to remove grease from the nail surface, prevent the nail art from curling, and enhance the adhesion between the base glue and the nail.

Transfer glue: Used with transfer paper, it can easily transfer various patterns, easy to operate and without peeling. Understanding the uses of these functional glues can not only improve your nail art skills, but also make your nail art works more professional and diverse.
