I'm having a hard time getting my nails to stay on. What's going on?Updated 9 months ago
Our recommendation? More glue and be sure to follow the instructions. Some of the most common reasons your Dash may pop off include:
- Your Dash overlaps on your skin.
- Air bubbles in the glue- be sure to apply your Dash at a 45-degree angle from your cuticle.
- Your natural nail beds are oily. Don’t forget to clean your nail during the prep.
- Your natural nails are very smooth. Don’t forget to gently buff your natural nail during prep.
- You didn't use enough glue. Add a dot of glue to each Dash and the back of your nail. Let the glue get tacky for a few seconds, then apply.
- Press down, press down, press down for 30 seconds! The longer and harder you press down on the Dash after applying the better. If the Dash doesn’t get pressure air bubbles will form causing the nail to pop off.
- You’re hard on your hands. Do you enjoy gardening, lifting weights and playing volleyball? You should opt for the longest glue application time frame even if you only plan on wearing your Dashes for a few days.
