Option 1: Nail Glue — The Long-Term Commitment
If you want a manicure that can survive a 14-day vacation, gym sessions, and daily chores, nail glue is your best friend.
-
Pros: Ultra-strong bond, water-resistant, and lasts up to 2-3 weeks. It feels just like a salon acrylic set.
-
Best For: Brides, travelers, and anyone with a busy, active lifestyle who wants a "set it and forget it" manicure.
-
Pro Tip: Apply a drop to both your natural nail and the press-on for a "double-bond" that won't budge.
Option 2: Adhesive Tabs — The Weekend Warrior
Do you love changing your nails to match your outfit?Or maybe you work in a profession where long nails aren't allowed on weekdays? Adhesive tabs are your secret weapon.
-
Pros: Damage-free removal, no chemicals, and makes your nails 100% reusable. You can apply and remove them in seconds.
-
Best For: Weekend events, photoshoots, teenagers, or those with sensitive nail beds.
-
Pro Tip: Use a hair dryer to slightly warm the tabs before applying—this makes them extra sticky and long-lasting!
The Verdict: Why Not Both?
At TsukiNails, most of our customers keep both on hand. Use the tabs for a Saturday night out, and save the glue for your next big trip. Regardless of your choice, the secret to longevity is always in the prep (buffing and cleaning with alcohol).Conclusion
