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

01

Base glue: As the foundation of the manicure, base glue isolates nail polish and the nail surface to prevent staining. It contains resin and a photoinitiator, which can enhance the adhesion of nail polish and protect nails from staining and damage.

 

02

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

 

03

Seal coat: The seal coat is the last step of the 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 requires cleaning liquid to wipe off the floating glue on the surface, providing a longer-lasting gloss.

 

04

Reinforcement glue: If your nails are thin or brittle, reinforcement glue can provide extra strength and protection. It contains more resin and filler, which helps repair the nail surface's unevenness, enhance nail thickness, and prevent nail cracking.

 

05

Light therapy extension glue is used to extend nails and provide solid support. It is more complex and suitable for constructing and reinforcing nail surfaces, making your nail art more durable.

 

06

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.

 

07

Softener: used to soften the cuticle around the nails, facilitate the removal of dead skin, and prepare before nail art. The main ingredient is a mild chemical solvent, and excessive use may cause dryness or sensitivity of the skin.

 

08

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.

 

09

Transfer glue: Used with transfer paper, it can quickly transfer various patterns, is easy to operate, and does not peel. Understanding the uses of these functional glues can improve your nail art skills and make your nail artwork more professional and diversified.

 

After reading this, you must have a preliminary understanding of nail glue. Novices who want to try it can do it at home by themselves. It will be a great sense of accomplishment, and becoming a nail artist is just around the corner.
