How to Choose the Right NikkiLash Adhesive
Choosing the right eyelash extension adhesive can make a big difference in your application speed, client comfort, and retention results.
At NikkiLash, our BADASS adhesive line gives lash artists three professional options based on dry time, fume level, and client sensitivity.
BADASS ONE — For Speed, Strength, and Long Retention
BADASS ONE™ is our strongest and fastest adhesive in the BADASS line. It is designed for experienced lash artists who want fast dry time, strong hold, and long-lasting retention.
With a 2–3 second dry time and retention up to 7 weeks, BADASS ONE is ideal for lash artists who work quickly and want a deep black finish with reliable performance.
Best for: Experienced lash artists, faster application speed, Classic, Volume, and Badass Flat Lash sets.
BADASS SENSITIVE — Lower Fumes With Professional Strength
BADASS SENSITIVE™ is a low-fume adhesive designed for lash artists working with clients who are more sensitive to adhesive fumes or odor.
It has a 4–5 second dry time, medium viscosity, and retention up to 4.5 weeks. The slightly slower dry time gives artists more control while still offering strong professional performance.
Best for: Sensitive clients, lower-fume applications, controlled placement, Classic, Volume, and Badass Flat Lash sets.
BADASS SENSITIVE+ — The Gentlest Adhesive in the BADASS Line
BADASS SENSITIVE+™ is our most gentle adhesive option, designed for clients who are extremely sensitive to fumes, odor, or irritation.
With an 8–10 second dry time, no-fume and no-odor performance, and retention up to 2.5 weeks, BADASS SENSITIVE+ is best for artists who prefer a slower, more controlled application pace.
Best for: Extremely sensitive clients, lower lash applications, slower controlled placement, Classic, Volume, and Badass Flat Lash sets.
Quick Comparison
| Adhesive | Dry Time | Retention | Fumes | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BADASS ONE | 2–3 sec | Up to 7 weeks | Medium | Speed & strength |
| BADASS SENSITIVE | 4–5 sec | Up to 4.5 weeks | Low | Sensitive clients |
| BADASS SENSITIVE+ | 8–10 sec | Up to 2.5 weeks | Minimal | Extremely sensitive clients |
Don’t Forget Your Room Conditions
For best performance, NikkiLash adhesives work best around 40–60% humidity and below 74°F / 23°C.
If your room humidity is below 40%, a nano-mister may help support curing. If humidity is above 70%, using a dehumidifier can help improve adhesive control and consistency.
Final Recommendation
If you want the strongest hold and fastest dry time, choose BADASS ONE.
If you want lower fumes with professional performance, choose BADASS SENSITIVE.
If you need the most gentle option for extremely sensitive clients, choose BADASS SENSITIVE+.
