Eyelash Glue 0.5s vs 0.3s: Which One Is Right for You?
When doing professional lash applications, time is money. Indeed, as it stands, the more appropriate the eyelash extension glue, the better the procedure’s speed, retention results. At Swaniya, we know lash artists require accuracy—that’s why settling on a 0.3-second glue and a 0.5-second one may seem minimal, but it can really screw up your routine.
Today on the blog, we’re breaking down the difference between 0.5s and 0.3s lash glue, so you can choose the best one for your lashing style/level of expertise.
What Does 0.5 Second or 0.3 Second Mean in Lash Glue?
Unpack the fundamentals. The “0.5s” or “0.3s” are the drying or curing times of the adhesive in lash glues. This is what it takes for the bond to form with the natural lash once the lash extension has made contact with it.
Glue 0.5 Second: Bonds in approximately .5 second.
Glue 0.3 Second: Bonds in approximately .3 second, 1/3 faster.
Those little fractions of time add up over the course of an application, and for a lash artist who can perform hundreds in a day, this adds up in a big way.

How to Choose the Right Swaniya Glue for You
Selecting the perfect eyelash glue is not a matter of which is “better.” It’s all about what suits your pace, technique, and environment best.
Ask yourself:
Can you really place lashes in under 0.5 seconds?
Do you keep your studio at a constant temperature and humidity?
Which do customers prefer: longer retention or a milder formula?
If you need more working time and your humidity fluctuates, or if you find the right balance, the Swaniya 0.5s Glue is a safe bet.
Let’s lash fast and on point with advanced placement, Swaniya 0.3s Glue will just level up your game.
Tips for Working with Fast-Drying Lash Glue
Adjust your technique: Quick glue requires quick movements. Pre-isolate lashes and dip before going close to the lash line.
Control your environment: Keep track of room humidity with a hygrometer. It really changes how glue acts depending on the climate.
Use a jade stone or glue ring: Temper the gluing with these items to make the adhesive neither too hot nor too cold.
Work in sections: Fast glue means that isolation and proper working on sections to avoid lash stickies are very important.
