WHY YOUR SPIKES AREN’T STAYING 👀 If your spikes are popping off before your client’s next fill, your adhesive pickup could be the problem. The #1 mistake? Not dipping into enough adhesive. Your spike needs enough adhesive to properly wrap + bond to the natural lash, and the difference between not enough and the perfect amount can completely change your retention. But your adhesive speed matters too. If it’s drying too fast, it can begin curing before you’ve had time to perfectly direct + place your spike, leading to a weaker bond. If it’s drying too slow, you’re more likely to deal with stickies, especially when working with multiple spikes close together. The goal: fast enough to keep your spike exactly where you place it, but slow enough to give you time to direct + create a strong bond. ⚡ FAST ARTIST + LOW HUMIDITY/DRY CLIMATE: Try Superhero Black or Superhero Purple. ⚡ NEED MORE WORKING TIME + FLEXIBILITY: Lash Alchemist gives you more time to perfect your placement before curing. And don’t forget, your lash choice changes your spike too. Pixie 0.07 → perfect for clean, sharp + defined spikes with an easy-to-control base. Favorite Cashmere → perfect when you want a looser base with a softer, more textured finish. Perfect spikes aren’t just about how they look on day one. Placement + adhesive pickup = RETENTION. Save this for your next wispy set. 🖤 #lashboxla #lbla #wispyset
