We picked well-known salon brands and popular at-home options for each job, and wrote down what each one is for. We haven't tested all of these ourselves yet — when we do, we'll add our own photos and notes here.
How to choose
- Gel glue: a solid gel you cure under a UV/LED lamp. Needs a lamp.
- Classic nail glue: liquid glue that dries in the air, no lamp needed.
- Remover: a glue remover helps loosen glued nails instead of prying them off.
