Lash glue is the adhesive that holds false lashes in place: extension glue bonds each extension or fan to one natural lash, while strip lash adhesive holds a full strip along the lash line. M1 Nail & Beauty Supply stocks extension glue from Gollee and Hami, DUO strip lash adhesive in clear and black, and the Gollee Bond & Seal pen for cluster lashes.

How to choose lash glue
- Match the set speed to your hands. Gollee lists Elite Master (M-01) at 0.5 to 1 second, Thin & Fast (A-02) and Advanced Icon (F-01) at 1 to 2 seconds, and Sensitive (D-02) at 3 to 4 seconds.
- Black or clear. Advanced Icon comes out pink and dries clear, with no carbon black, so it suits coloured lashes; Elite Master and Thin & Fast are black.
- Keep extension and strip glue apart. DUO is for strip lashes; use an extension glue for individual extensions.

Lash glue FAQ
Can strip lash adhesive be used for eyelash extensions?
No. Strip lash adhesive such as DUO holds a band of lashes along the lash line and is made to be removed with the strip. Extension glue bonds a single extension or fan to one natural lash and is used by trained lash artists. Keep the two apart on your station.
What room temperature and humidity does lash glue need?
Gollee recommends 22 to 24 °C and 55 to 65% relative humidity for its M-01, A-02 and F-01 glues. Keep a hygrometer at the lash bed and adjust the room with a humidifier or dehumidifier before you change glue.
How long can I use a bottle of lash glue after opening?
Gollee gives its extension glues a shelf life of 6 months unopened and 3 months after opening. Write the opening date on the bottle, wipe the nozzle and close the cap tightly after every use, and store it away from heat and sunlight.
