You can also use eyelash glue if you’re out of nail glue. The same thing is sold as “nail glue” – it’s cyanoacrylate, and if you buy that as a hardware instead of a cosmetic product it’s significantly cheaper.
Simply so, what can I use instead of nail glue for fake nails?
Nail polish remover, rubbing alcohol, or nail acetone, cotton balls, a nail file or buffer, and some basic cuticle oil.
Then, how do you make homemade nail glue? To make nail glue, start by combining 1 cup of PVA glue and about half of a standard-sized bottle of nail polish in a bowl. Use a cotton swab stick to stir the mixture, since you can also use it for applying the glue afterwards.
