ULTIMATE HOLD - CYANOACRYLATE FREE
UNITED STATES BUYERS:
DHL was our preferred shipping method but with increasing costs it isn't financially feasible to ship worldwide any longer.
Therefore, we have partnered with an American supplier to bring you better rates on this product - you can now source our Ultimate Hold through this link on amazon.
NOW COMES IN TWO SPEEDS & TWO FORMULAS
0.5-1.5 second drying time is the new formula and features eight week hold - Polymethyl methacrylate based adhesive - no cyanoacrylate.
1-3 seconds is the original formula with slightly longer dry time (perfect for summer!) and features six week hold - Polyacrylate based adhesive - no cyanoacrylate.
You can find a water based acrylates polymer adhesive here - also formulated without cyanoacrylate.

This WILL NOT WORK for those who are sensitive to carbon black and have a blanket allergy to acrylates.
No adhesive can guarantee you will not react as every body has the potential to consider different ingredients as histamines.
Personally, I am exclusively allergic to cyanoacrylate, and this adhesive saved my career.
Being cyanoacrylate sensitive, I am able to work with this adhesive with zero issues, and it is giving my clients the better retention than what they experienced with cyanoacrylate based adhesives.
Having used this adhesive personally since last christmas I can make a few recommendations:
Because of the consistency of this adhesive, you require only the tiniest amount to adhere extensions to the natural lashes with this adhesive.
It grabs instantaniously, but takes a few further seconds to cure.
Therefore I suggest working from eye to eye, to allow each lash time to cure to ensure no stickies amongst your set.
This adhesive does not react sensitively to humidity and temperature.
Whilst it does have recommended humidity and temperature ranges, it works well outside of these also.
I have worked with it in temperatures in up to 30 degrees celsius in humidity levels of 70%.
Working with it in temperatures of up to 25 degrees celsius is ideal.
You can find the MSDS here.
Reviews
I am a lash artist who is allergic to lashes (both as an artist and a lash wearer) and normally work with an N95 mask on. I am particularly sensitive to Methyl-2-cyanoacrylate although ethyl-cyanoacrylate also makes me react. I have now used Ultimate Hold (clear) for three days with my clients with no mask on as a trial and I am thrilled I have had no reactions. The glue is great to work with, I really like that its not thick, and it grabs beautifully. It makes for some excellent sharp bases too
Now this glue is great for allergy or sensitive clients, but this glue works amazingly on everyone! This glue has the best retention and is always consistent. 10/10
I absolutely loved this glue. Great for an allergic client and better for us lash artists who expose ourselves to the fumes.
I love these for my sensitive eyes! i didn't realise i was allergic until my eyes were always red and crusty after lash extensions and now with this glue it is alot better!
Definitely one of my go to adhesives, alongside Claire’s unicorn adhesive. 10/10 My client’s have amazing retention results. Easy to work with and sleek packaging.
