Nail glue can be used to adhere artificial nails, nail tips and nail art to natural nails. Nail glue has caused burning or heat sensations in many people. This article will explain the causes of this phenomenon.
How does nail glue work?
Nail glue reacts quickly with moisture on the surface or in the air to create a strong bond. The molecules of the glue link up to form polymer chains that create a strong grip between two surfaces. The glue hardens as it dries and becomes stiff. This provides a strong hold.
WHY DOES NAIL GLUE GET HOT?
During the curing of nail glue, heat can be generated. The heat generated by nail glue is due to the exothermic chemical reaction (heat release) that occurs when the molecules of the glue link together and form polymer chains. Heat can build up and cause discomfort, or even pain if too much glue is used or the glue is placed too close to skin.
Who is most affected by the heat from nail glu?
Heat generated by nail glue can be more uncomfortable for people with sensitive skin, or who are allergic. People who use large amounts of nail glue or frequently apply it may be more sensitive to the heat.
What are the pros and cons of using nail glu?
PROS
- Nail glue is a good choice for a long-lasting and strong bond between artificial and natural nails.
- Quick-drying glue: The adhesive dries very quickly and allows for an easy application process.
- Use a brush applicator or nozzle to apply nail glue.
- Nail glue is versatile: It can be used for a variety of artificial nails, decorations and other types.

- It can be difficult to remove artificial nails that are attached with nail adhesive. This may cause damage to the natural nail.
- Inhalation of toxic fumes from nail glue can cause irritation to the eyes, nose or throat.
- Nail glue should not be kept near heat sources.
Alternatives to Nail Glue
You can use double-sided adhesive tape, adhesive tabs and gel adhesives as alternatives to nail adhesive to attach artificial nails. These alternatives are less harsh and easier to remove.
Use nail gluing safely with these tips
- To minimize the possibility of burning or heat, avoid applying too much glue to the skin.
- Avoid inhaling toxic fumes by using in an area that is well ventilated.
- Keep the glue out of reach of heat and flames.
- Remove artificial nails as soon as you feel discomfort or irritation. Seek medical advice.
CONCLUSION
Nail glue may cause discomfort to some users during the curing procedure. To avoid adverse effects, it is essential to use nail adhesive safely. There are several alternatives to nail adhesive for those who want a gentler option.
