Easy-to-remove fake nail adhesive?

Dd needs to wear fake nails for a fancy dress evening event and has to get up early for a sports match next morning. Does anybody know what would be the easiest option for sticking on the nails and taking them off again relatively quickly (and safely!)?

The event is at on a school night, so we haven't got oodles of time to get the things fitted either. She has been given the nails with a small bottle of cryanolite (?) nail glue, but dread having to do a late night acetone soaking session. So really hoping there's an easier option.

Don't use nail glue. She might be allergic to it (I am - asthma like symptoms!)
You can buy stick on nail tabs that come in a kit with the stick on nails from Boots, Superdrug etc.

Thanks Frost. I was looking at the stick-on option, but on the YouTube videos it looks like that's really tricky to remove too. gah. Thanks for pointing out the allergy risk. Hadn't even thought about that!

I wish there das some super duper safe kiddie fancy dress option. Nails that are just for a one off occasion can't be that unusual
