✨✨We love teaching artists to “learn their glue,” how to develop a relationship with it, so to speak. As and advanced artist You need to observe your adhesives as you are working with them, in the glue dot as well as on the natural lash. ✨✨⠀ ⠀ 👉There are a few main circumstances we need to be aware of here, and it’s easy to break them down like this: Glue can be too wet - and when it is it looks shiny. In this circumstance it is either too cold or too dry, and you’ll need to use an activator like Glue Aid, make sure you get your humidity up asap, and switch to a faster drying glue. ⠀ ⠀ ✍️Now, on the other side of things, sometimes your glue is too matte - this means that it has already cured before you even have the chance to get to the NL! In this case, cured or partially cured blue will not be able to bond the FL to the NL, even if it seems to stick in the first place. This happens when it’s too hot or humid, or your adhesive cures too quickly for your methods (those who make and dip the fan before isolating may run into this with really fast drying glues). ⠀ ⠀ 🚨Making sure you get things cooled down, de-humidified, or use a slower curing adhesive is what is needed here. Getting to know the way your environment actually feels when your adhesive is behaving in certain ways will make all the difference. Take note of what happens, and pay attention to client retention, when your environment changes. This will help you so much to be able to work appropriately with your adhesive. ⠀ ⠀ 🗣Our last thought - always have a backup glue on hand. Have one that cures faster and one that cures slower. Depending on which one you work with regularly, the other may save your behind on the day your environment starts to act up!💕💕💕⠀
