**Question:** Which nail glue has a strong hold?

**Short answer:** NYK1 Super Strong Nail Glue has the best record, with 21 of 24 shoppers saying their nails stayed on for days or weeks. KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue follows at 25 of 33 and Olive & June Extra Hold Nail Glue at 24 of 33, while KISS PowerFlex Brush-On Nail Glue has the weakest record here at 5 of 18. People often write about glue when a nail pops off, so low scores can be common, and the leader rests on a modest 24 reviewers.

**What stands out:** The three brush-on glues take the bottom three spots. Shoppers like how easily they go on, with 28% of Olive & June Brush-On reviews and 32% of KISS PowerFlex Brush-On reviews saying so, but weak hold is the main complaint, in 30% of Olive & June Brush-On, 38% of Glamnetic Brush-On and 73% of KISS PowerFlex Brush-On reviews.
