Help with Nail Glue 
I have been using brush on nail glue for a few weeks. It protects the nails well but after one good hour of dance class the glue develops curved cracks like broken glass. withing a day or two pieces will break off. Applying more glue just prolongs the process. The cracks are only in the glue as the nail itself is fine. Does anyone else have this problem?
Here are pics after 2 days after application.

yes that's normal. make sure you always have a fresh bottle of nail glue. after 1 month it get's bad and needs more time to dry, flicks off faster etc.

So nail glue only lasts for 1 month in the bottle? Maybe thats why there is only 3ml in a bottle.

If you keep it in a plastic bag like food you dont’ want to spoil, it will last until almost empty (several months). And yes, the glue cracking as you show in the photo is a result of already spoiled glue. You can also notice it is going bad if the glue is becoming more gel like and less runny, before application. I personally don’t even bother to put it on if it is like that, I will trash it right away buy new bottle ASAP.

I bought a vacuum sealer to do sous vide cooking and started vacuuming sealing my glue. Seems to work great if you got one.

Few times the glue was too viscous when I just opened the packaging so now I open it right in the store and return if it is bad.

It's amazing when you stop and think about it, how much this art form owes to the existence of Krazy Glue.
