Hi Ladies (and Gents!)
I haven't posted here for a few years - it's nice to be back.
I have a question regarding glue suitable for nail art use on acrylic nails. I get my nails done at the salon without any polish or art and love to do my own nail art at home. Normally, I paint my own designs or use decals, however recently I've developed an interest in Japanese "decoden" nails - these are small 3D cabochons made of acrylic or polymer, which are glued to the nails as-is. Here's a google image search.
So, here's the catch - as I mentioned earlier - I have acrylic nails. Most (all?) nail glues are acrylate-based, which means that if I want to remove the decorations from my nails before going to the salon for a refill, I'd have to use acetone. I don't want to be using acetone, since this will dissolve the acrylic on my nails.
I'm basically looking for a non-acrylate glue which is not water soluble. In the best-case scenario, It'd be a glue which can be removed with acetone-free nail polish remover (or peeled off). So far my search has led me to find only double-sided tape, but I'm looking for something a bit more durable.
Any ideas?
