The 6 products ranked here carry 3,966 reviews at Target. We read the newest reviews of each product (up to a thousand per listing), kept the ones that talk about hold, and counted up to 40 per product, posted between Jun 2023 and Oct 2026.
A review counts only when the reviewer used the product themselves. We drop reviews written in exchange for a free product or a sweepstakes entry (0 on this page), and products that are no longer sold.
Target also shows reviews first posted on brands' own websites. We show them on product cards but never count them, because brand-site reviews run more positive than store reviews of the same products.
Because we searched for the problem, people who had it are overrepresented. Compare products with each other rather than reading a share as your own odds.
Skin type, skin tone and age splits use what reviewers chose on Sephora's review form (and age on Ulta's when given). We only show a split when enough reviewers fall on each side.
Amazon buttons appear only on products that most reviewers here say fix the problem (at least 60%, with enough reviews to trust it). Everything else gets no buy link.
An AI model labels each review against a fixed list of points, and we spot-check the labels before publishing. We publish counts, never the reviews themselves.
NYK1 Super Strong Nail Glue has the best record (21 of 24), followed by KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue (25 of 33) and Olive & June Extra Hold Nail Glue (24 of 33). People often write when a nail pops off, so use the scores to compare glues, not as a promise.
Shoppers say it goes on easily but holds less reliably. The three brush-on glues take the bottom three spots here, at 25 of 35 for Olive & June, 15 of 24 for Glamnetic and 5 of 18 for KISS PowerFlex.
Follow the directions on the label. Keep the glue off your skin and away from your eyes. To take press-on nails off, soak them to loosen the glue rather than prying them off.
