I just tried this, it works quite well, you have to work pretty hard at rolling though and its make a hard bond which has no shedding at all with pulling/combing.
I feel slightly high now though breathing in those fumes! anyone else tried it? |

| nope its not nail glue, its a liquid and a powder you mix together and you either use it to coat nail tips, or mould your own nail.. it dries solid and clear :) |

Oh, wow. That's a really good idea! Yeah, not nail glue, but that gel that they use to do fills. That stuff is pretty solid. -Rae ------------- http://www.hairalchemy.net - Hair Alchemy |

Well, it sounds like a fab idea - however, my mum's acrylic nails caught fire once when she lit a match. I'm not sure how flammable acrylic is when it is dry - obviously most anything will catch fire near an open flame, but fusion and shrinkies can get pretty warm too.... ------------- *question authority* |

Agreed - I noted that in my original post. I'm just curious how flammable acrylic is in it's dry state. ------------- *question authority* |
