I had the same problems you had! I ruffed my nail beds up with a file, and cleaned them . I followed the tutorial they have posted !! The nails popped off with in 5 minutes or sooner after I had cured them under the UV lamp …. Too bad this stuff didn’t work, I enjoyed not accidentally glueing my fingers together, like when I use the old fashion nail glue! Yes even the brush on nail glue 😂 Anyway, I wanted you to know it’s not just you having a problem with the CurvLife gel nail … So don’t feel bad! I think you did a great tutorial on how well this CurveLife gel nail glue Doesn’t Work !! 😉
For the most past they worked except I had to hold the nail on under the lamp to get them to stay while curing. Made the process longer and then after all of that 3 popped off. I'll give it another try next week and if it doesn't work then back to my usual glue.
I have always used nail glue but when I saw the solid glue, it made the process look so easy that I bought 2 little tubs of glue and a UV lamp myself. And, yes, you guessed it....I am having the exact same problem that you had. I've tried a few times to get it to stick and it just will not do it. I don't think it has anything to do with the nails because I used different ones than you did. So I am kind of upset that it didn't work. Guess I'll go back to the nail glue.
By the way....no matter what I do, when I use french nails I always get like air bubbles under them that are very noticeable at least to me. I'm sure they're under polished nails too but you can't see that. They never look good to me. Any suggestions for how to prevent that?
I was hoping it would work too. I used plain ole fake unpolished nails and I got my thumb to stay on for almost a week but the other not so much they stayed ok but popped off back to front.
If it popped off from the back you either put the nail too close or on the cuticle (could have not properly pushed back cuticles and had skin still on the nail)
I'm trying the nail glue right now. So far I am not real happy with it. It seems more work than with the liquid glue. We will see how it works at the end of me putting all 10 nails on.
Im trying mine tonight. But, the tutorial I watched said to cure 1-3 minutes for lighter colored nails and 3-5 minutes for darker nails. Also, to dip the fake nail in the glue, not use your fingers (i wonder if oil from your fingers have something to do with it?) We'll see how it goes 😮💨
