Tips are not popping off anymore
This is what I use to bond tips before I build, and the difference in retention is real. It grabs the tip fast and I get no lifting at the seam even on my clients who are hard on their hands. It has enough body to hold the tip in place while I position it, so I am not chasing slippage. Cures without that hot flash some glues give. Between this and the base coat my tip work has gotten noticeably more durable.

Licensed nail technician · Seattle, WAFast, clean bond that saves chair time
For a busy Saturday this speeds up my extension sets because the bond takes right away and I am not holding tips down waiting. No pooling, no lifting at the smile line, and it stays put through soak-off week after week. My clients with allergies to the older acrylic and gel systems have had no reaction to the HEMA-free formula. It has quietly become the step I do not skip.

Salon owner · New Orleans, LAMade tip extensions doable for a beginner
I was intimidated by extensions but this made the bonding step forgiving. It is thick enough that the tip does not slide around while I press it on, and once cured it holds. I got just over two weeks on my first ever set before one tip lifted, and honestly that was my prep, not the product. No smell and no burning under the lamp. I felt safe using it at home knowing it is HEMA-free and TPO-free.
