SOFbond™ Nail Glue
SOFbond™ Air-Dry Nail Adhesive – Strong, Gel-Like, & Easy Removal
Experience SOFbond™, the air-dry nail adhesive with a thicker consistency for controlled, precision application with a long-lasting hold. Slow-dry formula allows flexibility during application and reduces the uncomfortable “super glue” feeling of traditional nail glues. This unique, no-cure formula offers the flexibility to wear your nails for a day, a week, or up to 18 days—simply adjust the amount of glue for the desired wear time. SOFbond™ provides a strong, salon-quality hold while being much easier to remove than gel adhesives. Safe and non-toxic, SOFbond™ utilizes a no-gel formula- effectively cutting out your exposure to toxic gel chemicals that may cause skin sensitivity or allergy issues.
SmartTube- Designed with a special leak-resistant tube that keeps your nail application clean and controlled. Unlike traditional glue tubes, SmartTube
prevents excess glue from spilling by retracting any leftover product back into the tube when not in use, minimizing waste and mess. This innovative design ensures you have just the right amount of glue every time, without leaks or drips, giving you flawless, long-lasting nails with ease.
DIRECTIONS
Application
Apply a small pea-sized amount of glue to the inner base of the nail tip. Place the tip at a 45 degree angle onto the base of the nail bed and gradually lay until flat. Hold firmly for 15-30 seconds. Avoid contact with water for at least an half an hour for optimal results.
Removal
To prevent damage, avoid forcing or popping off nails without prior soaking or use of remover solution.
Gentle Soak-Off Method - Oil & Warm Water
Soak your nails in warm water mixed with a few drops of cuticle oil for 10–15 minutes. The oil helps break down the glue, allowing you to slowly slide off each nail. Gently lift around the edges with an orange stick or cuticle pusher. If needed, re-soak to avoid forcing, which helps prevent any damage to your natural nails. This method is ideal for keeping nails and cuticles hydrated during removal.
Acetone Removal
Gently lift around the edges with an orange stick or cuticle pusher. Drop nail polish remover, acetone, or nail glue remover solution into the lifted space between the tip and natural nail. Allow remover to soak into the glue for 30-60secs. Lift nail tip off nails, and buff surface of the nail to remove any remaining residue.

FAQs
How to prep nails before applying
- Trim nails to a short length (approximately ¼ inch growth beyond nail bed).
- Push back and clean cuticles, buff nail surface and wipe down with alcohol wipes. Tip: You can use the ALDA Nail Cuticle Pusher Pen and Nail File/Buffer combo for natural nail prep.
- Use the Nail File side of the Nail File/Buffer combo tool to gently file the nail bed. This optimizes the nail glue’s adhesion capabilities.
- Wash hands thoroughly with soap and warm water.
How to select and place nail tips
- For each hand, individually match the SOFtips™ finger by finger by placing the tip on the dry nail and test for fit. The SOFtips™ should fit comfortably on the surface of your nail without overly exceeding the cuticle area.
- Layout each tip left to right, starting with left pinkie and ending with left thumb. Repeat steps for your right hand.
Tip: If you are in-between sizes, simply choose a larger size and file down the edges for a custom fit.
How to apply SOFtips™
