Having the right nail glue matters.

It makes the difference between a reliable manicure and your nails popping off unexpectedly while you’re away from all your nail repair supplies.

In this post, we want to share with you our favorite top 2 nail glues that are proven winners for longevity, reliability and ease of use.

Before applying nail glue, make sure you’re diligent in your nail prep. Wash, clean and dry the nail, then to remove the shine from the nail, use a buffing block to lightly rough up the nail bed, so the glue has something to grip to.

Now you’re ready for the nail glue.

How to use nail glue for applying press-on nails and nail tips: apply a very light amount of the glue to your natural nail and to the back of the press-on nail, then press it to the nail bed, start at a 45 degree angle and slowly bring it flush to the nail. 

Hold it in place for at least 15-30 seconds while it dries.

How to use nail glue for repairing a ripped or broken nail: apply a drop of the glue to the tear and with an orange stick, hold the torn nail pieces down, together and in place while it dries for at least 15-30 seconds. When dry, buff out the glue surface until smooth and level.

Below are the best nail glues we’ve tested so far:
