12 Non-Damaging Glues For Long-Lasting Press-On Nails

Of all the pains one can experience, there is no greater pain than watching your nail extension or press-ons falling off in front of you. Any nail expert or aficionado will tell you: The right nail glue can make or break your entire nail set. With the right adhesive, press-on nails or extensions can be applied quickly to get polished nails in a matter of minutes and last weeks on end. Nail glue is typically used to adhere acrylic nails or gel extensions to your natural nail but celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein uses nail glue for quick repairs. "It’s already in a self-applicator and comes in a squeeze tube or brush on or a dropper tube. Nail glues can be used to adhere tips to nails or used for nail wraps," she explains.

Although most kits include nail adhesive, there are several other options that deliver better, longer-lasting results. Whether you prefer brush-on applicators or one-and-done squeeze tubes, scroll down for the 12 best nail glues on the market.
