Crusty glue drop is your worst enemy, for real. Once your adhesive comes in contact with the air, the curing process starts. And keeping a single glue drop for the entire lash set without changing it? That’s a one-way ticket to Lash Fallout City.

 

Here’s the deal—if your glue looks odd, like it became stringy, or started developing a weird consistency, it’s time to switch a glue drop. Perfect timing is doing so ever 10-15 minutes, depending on how low your humidity is. The drier your room – the faster you change the drop.

 

Want to keep it fresher longer? Then it’s better to use a jade stone, as it helps regulating temperature and slows down curing.

 

 

 

2. Glue Amount: Not Too Much, Not Too Little—Just Right

The more, the merrier doesn’t count here. More glue does not equal better adhesion or firmer bonding. The same goes for a tiny amount of adhesive, that won’t be able to hold the weight of an extension.

 

Too little? The lash is basically held on with a wish and a prayer. Too much? Clumps, stickies, and the dreaded spider leg effect.

 

The golden mean? Dip just 1–2mm of the extension into the glue drop and make sure there’s a cute little bead—enough to hug the natural lash without drowning it. Think of it like eyeliner: precise, controlled, and never overdone (unless you’re going full Euphoria).

 

Nail this and you’ll cut down on retention issues and keep your sets looking clean.
