Lash Glue/Adhesive FAQ’s
What is Lash Extension Adhesive/Glue?
Let’s explain…
The main component in Eyelash Adhesives/Glues is Cyanoacrylate this is a fast-drying chemical bonding agent, used in many nail & eyelash extension adhesives & lash glues
To create a strong bond with the natural lashes.
It starts as a liquid & once it comes into contact with moisture it cures, creating a solid but slightly flexible bond.
Depending on the set speed of the Adhesive/Glue will also depend on how much odour the product may have.

Troubleshooting – Hints & Tips…
To get the best out of your eyelash extension adhesive/lash glue:
- We recommend making a note of the date you opened your glue, so you know when to re-order
- Apply a sticker with the date the glue was opened & stick it on the glue bottle
- Use a Jade Stone & Glue Dots rather than a Glue Ring
- Why not try a Lash Tile with Jade Stone included, keeping your lashes in order
- Replenish your lash adhesive approximately every 5-10 minutes depending on the humidity
- Replenishing your glue frequently will ensure great workability & less waste
- We recommend using a hygrometer in your room or salon to measure the correct temp/humidity
- Shake eyelash adhesive/glue well before use, sometimes the pigment can separate
- Make sure your lashes are all prepped & cleaned using our Foaming Brow & Lash Wash before the eyelash extension application
- Ensure you have applied the correct lash curl, weight & length
- Apply the eyelash extensions 0.5 to 1mm away from the lash line
- Finally do NOT apply eyelash extensions any longer than a 3rd to 1/2 longer than the natural lashes
