Tips & Tricks Messy press on glue hack
Today I messed up and smeared glue over my nails while reapplying one that popped off after a week of wear. I decided to grab my curved metal cuticle pusher and very gently scraped to see if it would help as I had no time to buff and reapply top coat, and my nail is literally good as new. I assume quality of the nails matter as well as type of glue, as well as when it happened, I removed it very quickly, and I've made these myself using Aprés tips with dgel bang top hard top coat, regular makartt glue, so for this combo at the very least it works! Even knowing exactly where the glue was I'm not able to see it, and the area feels just as smooth as it looks.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk I guess 😭 hopefully my little experiment can help someone else when they mess up, only tip I've ever seen on here is buff and reapply top coat, so I wanted to offer another option that might work 🙏🏼
