It can be used to mend broken nails and attach fake ones as well as small nail decorations such as rhinestones, beads, and gems.

Experts in nails, Gelike ec has developed a unique 6-in-1 gel formula nail glue that is an adhesive, base gel, strengthener, slip solution, brush saver, and blooming gel in one. It creates a strong seal between your natural nail and the acrylics so it stays firmly in place. 

You also don't have to worry about it peeling or popping off, at least for the next 3 to 4 weeks. The only downside is that the gel must be cured under a nail lamp for around 1 to 2 minutes in order for it to work. But if you already own a nail lamp and you use press-ons all the time, this product is a must-have in your kit.
