    I did well to get 3 days before I popped a nail. Works as good as what I get at the dollar tree for $1.25. Didn't even need the remover yet..

    So disappointed this tube you have the glue in is horrible!!! This the second one that messed up. Just arrived over the weekend and I opened it today. Opened the package and the end of tube must have busted. The first one I ordered of the semi-solid the skinny nose that the glue comes out broke off so I had to throw it away. Wasted money now this my second one and just look... I love the glue it's the tube that's malfunctioning so I have to throw away the glue. 🤐🤐🤐

    The glue was fantastic but the removal doesn’t work great and quite frankly I had to peel my press ons off which caused my real nails to weaken. Very frustrating.

    Seemed like it would work well but a nail fell off the next day. When it fell off and I couldn’t find it, I was able to remove all the other nails easily by pulling on them.

Thick gel consistency that allows adjustment
