Good alternative to Kiss glue on nails

Hi, I've short quite fragile nails (thank you chemo) and recently tried out short Kiss Core glue on nails from Boots. Amazingly they've lasted just over two weeks with a Amazon purchased gel like glue which I think has been the key. They've looked and felt natural like my own fingernails, just longer and pretty 😍

Not many colours or patterns though, so does anyone have any recommendations for any other brands that are quite thin near the cuticle end, have a short/rounded option and different patterns and colours please?

It's been a while since I had nice nails so it's a tiny bit of self care I want to continue 😘

Kiss also do nails that have sticky tabs already attached. They’re so easy to put on and last 1-2 weeks. My favourite stick on nails (sticky tabs already applied) are from MeAmora - it’s an online brand rather than in store, a bit like Avon. They’re absolutely brilliant and I’ve been using them for years now

I use Primark nails, loads of colour/design options. I do buy better quality glue such as Kiss or Elegant Touch but they last upwards of 2 weeks

Can you please link to the Amazon gel like glue? I can't keep any on for more than a day! I'm trying to let my nails recover from years of gel and they look terrible.

It's called Curvlife semi-solid nail glue 👍🏻
