Nail glue

It seems my next step with nails is to try glue ons. Whenive used them before I've used the glue included which is always rubbish. Can anyone suggest one? Ideally something that won't completely wreck my nails and can be taken off.

Also, are glue on nails reusable? I've always lost some before removal so didn't have a full set to try again?

Brush on glue is my tip. Much easier to control. I've used the Elegant Touch one before and find it pretty good.

Edited to add - I often restick mine if they come loose, but you can only do it so many times before they get gummed up or chip.

Can I jump on and ask for brand recommendations for the nails?

Mine are so ruined from prolonged BIAB and a bad take off and just break constantly, would stick on be a good option? I’ve never used them.

Goid idea, I'll be interested too. I've just ordered some cheap ones off aliexpress.

I like Candy Claws press ons. You can get brush on glue from them or else if preserving your nails is a priority then you can use them with the adhesive tabs but they won't stay on as long as they do with glue (maybe 5 days instead of 2 weeks).

I use cheap ones so tend to bin after use, if i lose one i just glue it back on. Dont scream but i use superglue it sticks them on well for up to a week then as it dries out the nails lift off easily, couple of days of nail oil and nails are good as new.
