KEEP IT CLEAN!

You shake your glue, dispense it, give it a small wipe, and replace the nozzle.
What could possibly go wrong? Well, glue nozzles like to ‘burp’ - they spit out
any air left in the nozzle and send out some remnants of glue with it, which
glues the nozzle to your lid.

To avoid this, try the following..

Remove the lid to shake - I know, this sounds ridiculous! Of course, you’re going
to cover the end of the nozzle; the only thing worse than glue stuck in a nozzle
is glue stuck to literally everything else. Take a small piece of foil or wax paper
and cover the nozzle, shake, shake it and peel back - any glue that burps out
can simply be wiped away before you dispense.

Don’t squeeze! Tip the glue up and let gravity do the work - it might feel like it
takes a bit longer, but less air will be sucked into the nozzle, which means less
air must exit the nozzle!

Give her a little tap on the bottom! Before you pop that lid back on after
dispensing the glue, give the bottle a little tap on your trolley to encourage any
air that did make it into the nozzle to come out. Wipe away and replace your
lid.
Have some back up rescue kits - despite your best efforts, sometimes the
nozzle and the lid just want to be together forever. Having some spares in your
kit will SAVE YOUR LIFE! Also grab a nanomister to help with good retention and
help curate the lash adhesive glue better. If your client is experiencing any
burning sensation from the fumes, this is usually caused by an inadequate seal
of the eyelid (twitchy eyes, improper eye pad or tape placement, or talking can
cause the seal to break). In order to stop the burning, you can cure the glue
throughout the appointment as needed with your nanomister. This will not
impact the lash set, as it will prevent the client’s eyes from watering and
creating too much moisture for the set. The nanomister is also used at the end
of the appointment to cure the glue.

-Under curing adhesive remains wet and sticky
-Over curing adhesive “shock cures,” resulting in fracturing and brittle bonds.
It can also turn white (blooming). When using nanomister make sure to mist
both eyes until you see light misty water droplets on the lashes and then stop.
