According to their official product info:
- It’s a super-strong nail glue made for artificial nails, tips, repairs, and wraps.
- It uses a “PowerFlex” technology, supposedly to reduce lifting or nails popping off.
- It dries very fast (“in seconds”) for quick application.
- Ingredients include ethyl cyanoacrylate, polymethyl methacrylate, etc. It warns it is strong, can irritate, needs care.
What Users Say: Pros & Cons
Here’s a summary of what people like and dislike.
Pros
- Strong hold
Many users report that nails really stay put for days to over a week, even under “rough” conditions (washing hands, everyday tasks). - Fast drying / curing
Users appreciate that it sets or dries quickly, which means less waiting and moving. - Good value
While small in size (3 g or so), people often say it’s affordable and works well enough for its price. - Useful for press-ons and repairs
Works well both for sticking on false/press-on nails and for repairing cracks or breakages.
Cons
- Hard to remove
Because the bond is strong, many report removal is difficult. You need to soak the nails, use acetone etc. It can be laborious and sometimes damaging if not careful. - Strong smell / irritation potential
The scent is described as “strong”, “rubbery”, or harsh by some users, especially when applying or if glue gets on the skin. Also, as with many cyanoacrylates, there are warnings about possible irritation. - Small bottle / limited uses
Because it’s only a few grams, frequent users might finish it quickly. Also the nozzle or tip can clog if not cleaned properly. - User technique matters
Several complaints are along the lines of: people didn’t prep the natural nail well (e.g. cleaning, removing oils, roughening slightly) or didn’t press long enough or firmly enough. When users do those steps, glue seems to perform much better.
My Take: Where It Shines — and Where It’s Less Ideal
Based on all this, here’s when I think this glue is a good choice vs. when you might want something else.
Best Use Cases
- If you want press-on nails or false tips to stay firmly for several days (almost a week or more).
- When you need quick-drying glue so you can apply and go.
- For nail repairs (cracks, splits) if you need something strong and fast-setting.
- If you use glue infrequently or occasionally, so the small size isn’t a big issue.
Possible Drawbacks / Considerations
- If you want something easily removable or gentler on natural nails. The strong bond can be hard to dissolve/remove cleanly.
- If you have very sensitive skin or are prone to allergic reactions—cyanoacrylates can irritate.
- If you change nails very often (daily or every couple days), you might go through the glue fast, and removal each time might cause wear.
Tips to Get the Best Results
If you do use it, these tips help maximize hold and minimize damage:
- Prep well – clean nails, remove oils, maybe lightly buff or file the nail surface, wipe with alcohol or acetone.
- Use enough but not too much – a thin, even layer, and don’t flood the cuticle area. Press down firmly for several seconds to remove air bubbles.
- Avoid contact with skin – glue on skin can irritate and reduce adhesion on the nail. Clean up any overflow quickly.
- Allow to cure/dry fully before using your hands heavily or getting them wet.
- Safe removal – soak in acetone if possible or use a remover made for nail glue; don’t just force off nails, which can damage the natural nail.
Final Verdict
KISS PowerFlex Maximum Speed Nail Glue is a very strong contender in the world of nail glue. If you’re someone who uses press-ons, does your nails at home, or needs something reliable for a few days at a time, this glue gives excellent hold, speed, and reasonable price. Just be prepared for the removal to take effort, and make sure you use it carefully (proper prep, apply correctly).
