The silk is great if you break a nail. I had a few shows to do recently and a broken thumb nail, so I used silk. Yes, the resin is just like superglue.
However a word of warning-
A few years ago I discovered silk and thought my nail problems were over.
Problem one- I have nails that hook over, using silk meant they grew out straight. Problem two- no more broken nail issues.
Problem three- a thicker nail for better tone.
After using silk for a few months my nails were completely distroyed beneath. Sore nail beds and very thin/weak nails so there wasn't even anything to put the silk onto as the nail would pull away from the bed.
I had previously used superglue for a few years without silk and had no problems so something in the combination with the silk didn't work for me. I followed the instruction and only covered the end of the nail. Perhaps the added stiffness meant the nail/nail bed attachment was under more stress?
It took two years for my nails to recover and they are now thinner than they were before.
After a few years of using nothing on my nails I have recently started to try 'nail envy nail strengthener' this thickens the nail and also helps it grow un-hooked.
I have only used the silk again once in this recent emergency and then took it straight off. I know for me prolonged use is a disaster.
