Don’t get me wrong, I’m not blaming nail marketers and the magazines, they are just responding to the words nail professionals use every day. They have created a resin and mesh that combine perfectly and together they create a strong and thin overlay. Apply the mesh over the entire surface of the natural nail then coat with resin and Activator spray to create a strong, protective extra layer to soft and thin nails. This question illustrates a big problem in the beauty industry in general and demonstrates how confusing nail industry terminology can be. In practical terms, resin and glue are the same, and it is a misunderstanding to think they are different.

Astonishing Brush on Resin is used for tip applications as well to saturate silk and fiberglass for nail wraps. Just squeeze onto the nail and tease into place with the nozzle or Star Nails extender tips to create thin layers and then cure with Resin Activator Spray. The natural resins were also used by the ancients both as glues and as protective, water-proof coatings for wood, leather, and cloth.

So, rather than use inaccurate and incorrect definitions that confuse, why not use a more professional term? It can be used to apply nail tips, but also to use it with either Fiberglass or Silk applications to saturate the mesh. Instantly dries and reinforces the nail when applied in conjunction with The Edge Quick Nail Dipping Powder and Quick Nail Spray. Brush-On Resin is a durable and beautiful as traditional resin, we just found a new way to apply it.

Plus, the Gelish LED lamps were professionally designed for salon use to offer you only the best curing experience! Consider this as well: which of these would clients have greater respect for or be more impressed by?

It seems to me that much of the incorrect terminology comes from nail schools, educators, and veteran nail technicians who don’t keep up with the latest educational information. A small piece of Mesh is applied to the break, fixed with Resin then activated to provide a 'splint' that supports the break. A fibreglass or silk mesh and resin overlay creates wafer thin nail extensions that are the preference of many clients. An easy brushon application paired with a thicker formula makes this product ideal for wraps and strengthening natural nails. Instead of “nail resin” or “glue”, it is better to use the word “adhesive” when you are referring to “adhering things together”, and the term “cyanoacrylate monomer” when these are used as a nail coating.

Largely because nail product marketers too often use incorrect terms to describe their products or services, which further reinforces the use of these terms. The Edge have created a resin and mesh that combine perfectly and together result in a strong and thin overlay. A medium consistency Resin absorbs through the fibremesh to create a secure bond between the mesh and the natural nail, or extension. Product should not be touching the skin around the cuticle area and make sure the entire nail, including the free-edge, has been sealed with the Brush-On Resin. Sheba would like to introduce to you a new application for traditional fiberglass/resin application.A medium consistency Resin absorbs through the fibre-mesh to create a secure bond between the mesh and the natural nail or extension. If you’re a nail educator, please do your part to ensure that the correct terminology is taught and used.

A kind alternative for those who cannot wear Gels or Acrylics Fibreglass can also be used to strengthen natural nails and for nails repairs. This thin resin interlocks with the mesh for a strong structure and creates natural looking nail extensions. With the Gelish gel polish colours, not only will you have a nail colour for every occasion, but your manicures will also last for a minimum of 21 days with no chips or cracks. The Millennium Fibreglass offers an attractive and extremely strong alternative which can be worn for long periods of time.
