Gollee Lash Glue Compared: Elite Master, Thin & Fast, Advanced Icon or Sensitive?
By Edmond Lin, M1 Nail & Beauty Supply, Markham, Ontario. Last updated 9 October 2026. Set times, retention and room conditions are Gollee's own published figures.
The four Gollee eyelash extension glues differ mainly in how fast they set: Elite Master in 0.5 to 1 second, Thin & Fast and Advanced Icon in 1 to 2 seconds, and Sensitive in 3 to 4 seconds. Pick the slowest glue that still matches your placement speed. A glue that sets before the lash is in position gives a weak bond, however strong the glue is on paper.

Which one should you buy?
- Choose Gollee Elite Master Glue if you place a lash in under a second and want a rich black lash line. It is the fastest of the four.
- Choose Gollee Thin & Fast Glue for volume work. The very thin texture wraps the base of a fan without leaving a bead, and 1 to 2 seconds is enough time to seat it.
- Choose Gollee Advanced Icon Glue for coloured lashes, or for clients who avoid carbon black. It dries clear, so the bond does not show on blue, brown or white lashes.
- Choose Gollee Sensitive Glue while you are learning, or when you want a lower-odour alkoxy formula. The slower set costs retention.
Temperature and humidity
Cyanoacrylate glue cures when it meets moisture, so the air in the room changes how every glue in the table behaves. Gollee recommends 22 to 24 °C and 55 to 65% relative humidity for M-01, A-02 and F-01. A hygrometer on the lash trolley tells you where you are.
| Room | What the glue does | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Below 55% humidity | Sets more slowly than the label says. Lashes can slide or lean before they hold. | Raise the humidity with a humidifier, or move to a faster glue. |
| 55 to 65% humidity, 22 to 24 °C | Sets in the published time. | Nothing to change. |
| Above 65% humidity | Sets faster than the label says. The glue can skin over before the lash touches down, and the bond turns brittle. | Use a smaller drop and replace it more often, run a dehumidifier, or move to a slower glue. |
| Cold room | The glue thickens and sets more slowly. | Warm the room before the first client. |
Handling and storage
- Shake the bottle before each use. Gollee's instructions call for 2 to 3 minutes on a new bottle.
- Hold the bottle upright to dispense, and replace the drop as soon as it thickens or forms a skin.
- After use, squeeze the air out, wipe the nozzle and close the cap tightly. Store the bottle upright in a cool, dry place.
- Gollee gives its extension glues a shelf life of 6 months unopened and 3 months after opening. Write the opening date on the bottle.
- An unopened bottle can be kept in the fridge. Let it reach room temperature before you open it, or condensation gets into the glue.
What goes with the glue
- Before.Gollee Eye Cleaning Solution removes makeup and oil. Dry the lashes fully before you start.
- At the end.Gollee Super Bonder is applied to the bonding points to finish the cure. Gollee states the lashes are water-safe about 3 minutes later. It is not a glue.
- At home.Gollee Lash Protective Sealant is a clear coating the client brushes on from 48 hours after the appointment, to protect the bond from sweat, oil and water.
- Removal.Gollee Cream Glue Remover is a non-drip cream that dissolves the glue in 1 to 3 minutes.
Questions about Gollee lash glue
Which Gollee lash glue is the strongest?
Gollee publishes the longest retention for Thin & Fast (6 to 8 weeks), then Elite Master (up to 7 weeks) and Advanced Icon (6 to 7 weeks). In practice retention depends more on isolation, room conditions and aftercare than on a one-week difference between glues.
Is Gollee Sensitive Glue hypoallergenic?
No lash extension glue is allergy-proof. Sensitive Glue uses an alkoxy cyanoacrylate, a type that generally gives off less odour and fume than ethyl cyanoacrylate, but a client who is allergic to cyanoacrylate can still react. Patch test first.
Why does my lash glue turn white?
White residue, often called blooming or shock curing, appears when the glue cures too fast because of water: wet lashes, very humid air or a nano mister used too early. Dry the lashes fully before you start.
Can I use Gollee Bond & Seal for extensions?
No. Gollee Bond & Seal is a water-based pen for DIY cluster lashes worn for a short time. It is a different product from the four cyanoacrylate glues in this guide.
