Beautytrix, I've just been reading about allergic reactions when using Flirties glue and people asking if they had changed their ingredients. Is it maybe because they are using the new Ultra one and its too strong for their customers? I want to get a sample pack as I'm looking for a new glue but don't want to cause reactions in my customers if I can help it :wink2:

We have never changed the formulation and the Flirties Ultra adhesive is not launched yet but unfortunately anyone can develop an allergy or oversensitivity to anything so a client that has been booking with you for months or even years without problems can have a reaction to nails/hair/tan/lashes at any point as every body is different and this is something you have got no influence in. This is why we recommend to use the Flirties sensitive adhesive for any client who has had a reaction in the past and definitely patch test all clients to avoid problems for you and your clients :O)

Hi all I've been using the nova lash platinum bond adhesive however they have pulled out of Ireland making it exceptionally difficult to get.
I want to see if anyone else has used this and if they have tried anything else that is a good alternative
I find it a fantastic bond and has a rubberised finish so no need for sealants. It's flexible and long lasting after 4 weeks clients still have loads of lashes left
Urgent help needed

I have a few questions:
1) I use Flirties & I was wondering what effects it has on the technician. I have recently started to get a bad throat after a day of lashing.
2) How often you advise your client has a rest without lashes? how long for? And how can you guarantee their return business?
Sorry geeks, but these are questions not really covered in training.

If you use the products in the right way there should Be no negative impact for the therapist especially as flirties is formaldehyde free

If lashes are applied properly and the client look after the lashes there is no damage to the natural lash so the client can keep wearing them without problems

Wear a mask with a filter? Working with adhesive all day isn't ideal if your not protecting yourself.

If you choose suitable extension sizes for the client, do a good job (isolate well) and enforce good aftercare then no break is needed.

Thanks, can you tell me why the glue seems to hurt my clients throat? It also makes them a little sniffly.

Anyone have any feedback on glue??? I seem to be suffering from OA (occupational asthma). I read it's due to over exposer of Cyanoacrylate, one of the main ingredients of lash glue.
I also read that Formaldehyde can build up, the longer you use an open bottle of glue. Hence the shelve life being 1 month.

Wondering if anyone has any advise? I just ordered an allergy mask as this was advised on a university study paper I read.

HELP???

Yes you are right, it is best to avoid formaldehyde if possible. Unlike some people think this is not an ingredient but a byproduct that is created during the manufacturing process but with careful formulation it is possible to reach a very low amount which is classified as "formaldehyde free". Not many suppliers can state this so its worth looking out for that as it will make it a lot easier for you in the future.
its also worth making sure you are using the sealer and other products / techniques that your trainer showed you as that will help eliminate any problems :O))

I'm not sure how the sealant will help with the fume and OA? From my understanding the slightest amount of water being present, the molecules of the glue will have a chemical reaction and form tight chains between the two surfaces being bonded. This reaction will happen in seconds of the water and cyanoacrylate making contact. I'm not sure how this may help with the fume though. Still looking into it

HI Lisa, fumes and vapours are attracted to water which means if you or your client have watery eyes it is a viscious circle. However the use of a sealant (bit like a top coat with nail varnish) does as the name suggests and seals the lashes which means that any odour is greatly reduced and if you use a nanomister it seems that even the most sensitive clients are fine as the adhesive is cured faster :O)

Where can I purchase the flirties glue?
