Nail Glue

[Cindy Michelle]

Hi Gurls. Most of you don't know me, but I have been lurking here for years. Your posts have been so encouraging that I can't say thankyou enough. It just seems that I never have anything to add to your comments. However, this time I could use some help.

I am quite closeted, but get the opportunity to dress for short periods of time once in awhile. Sometimes I have enough time to do make-up and more. I'd love to add nails but am afraid the glue is too permanent. So-o-o-o, do you have any suggestions how to attach acrylic nails very temporarily so I can remove them after an hour or two? Thanks, Cindy

Kiss 1 Easy Step Stick On Nails have the glue already on them. Once you find your perfect size you simply press it firmly onto your natural nail.

Google search "nail adhesive pads"

Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over is a repositionable, clear and flexible glue that allows you to reposition appliqués and patches from garment to garment. You turn the nails up inside their plastic container and dab a small amount on each nail. It dries tacky. Put a clear base coat on your own nails, then press on the tacky fake nails.

Some places (hobby type/scrap booking) sell glue dots that should work. http://buygluedots.com/order_glue_dots/ ... sive_dots/

Do you really mean acrylics or are you just wanting any press on nails? Lee makes a press on nail. However, I haven't had too much luck with press-ons. They certainly will come off, but often not when I want them to. If you're wanting nails for play -- not wear out in public, then an inexpensive press-on can be an alternative. If nothing else, you can get some practice putting them on before you go to anything more expensive.
