I'm pretty sure it's due to the nano mister may break. It's the same for facial steamers you can use just normal water in those x

But, WHY does distilled water sprayed in a fine mist cure the lashes faster?
Also, why is the nano mister any better than an atomiser or oil mist sprayer?

Just bumping up, as would like to know WHY spraying a fine mist of distilled water 'sets' lashes after application
yes does this really cure the lashes or is it just another product they are selling?
as well can it be used incorrectly?
is it worth the buy?
how is this any different from splashing water on the eyes after lashing?

All semi-permanent lash glues have a cyanoacrylate base which sets in 2 ways: there is a solvent that evaporates so that the glue dries and a chemical reaction with water molecules that cures (polymerises) the glue. The trick for a perfect bond is to get exactly the right amount of moisture to set off the chemical reaction without preventing the solvent from drying. That's why it does not make a very strong bond if the lash is too wet, bubbles of solvent get trapped in the glue.
Another thing to watch out for on fast glues and 1st generation Cyanoacrylates when you mist them is 'blooming', a white powdery coating caused by the glue boiling as it cures too fast. The white powder is tiny droplets of the glue settling back on the surface. This is used by CSI teams finding fingerprints by not very good for us.
Please bear in mind that even if you mist heavily the glue will still need a few hours to fully cure to the centre of the bond. The actual time will depend on the speed of the glue.
The bottom line is that if you are going to mist you should test and practice misting with your preferred glue. Don't overdo it at the start as it could cause you problems and above all make sure your bottle and water are totally clean to avoid infection. It will not make your lashes last longer and if overdone could make the glue weaker.
In laboratory conditions the ideal environment for the Eyelash Emporium glues to cure is 40% to 75% Relative Humidity at 19-27ºC. it's very similar for other brands. That's why you might have noticed that your glue is slower on really dry days or if the air con is turned up. I check my treatment room with a hygrometer (you can buy them at Argos for about £10) and if it's really dry I have a humidifier that's like a big nebuliser that brings the room up to around 50% RH before treatment. I never have problems with the glue not lasting as long as the lash since I started paying attention to the humidity. I also don't have to worry about getting the glue too wet.
Finally, misting is used in 3D lashing for glue on glue techniques. Personally I prefer xD Russian Volume over 3D as it's quicker, lighter and stronger for a better effect with less glue. If you get the right speed glue for the way you work you don't have to bother with misting. Hope that helps.
