How to Create Spikes with Camellia Lashes: A Lash Artist’s Guide

Spikes are having a serious moment, from anime-inspired sets to those sleek wet-look styles. But nailing the perfect spike (clean, consistent, not clumpy) takes the right technique… and the right lashes. That’s where Camellia Lashes come in.

We’re breaking down everything you need to know to make spikes that actually spike, from what a spike really is, to choosing between Camellia lash styles, troubleshooting the occasional clump drama, and using Curacoro tools that get the job done (and look good doing it). Whether you’re just dipping into textured sets or looking to finesse your technique, we’ve got you.

1. Intro to Camellia Lashes

What Are Camellia Lashes? 

Camellia Lashes are lash strips with mixed lengths—like 8mm, 9mm, 10mm—all in one row. They’re designed to mimic the way natural lashes grow, giving you that fluttery, effortless texture without the tray-hopping marathon.

Camellia vs. Regular Lashes 

Regular lashes? Same length across the strip. Clean and bold, sure, but not exactly built for dimension. Camellia Lashes bring softness and depth with their natural taper, making them the go-to choice for layered styles like wispy, anime, and wet-effect sets.

Why Lash Artists Love Camellia Lashes for Spiky Looks

Camellia Lashes feature a natural taper that makes spikes blend in beautifully with the rest of the set. The tapered tip helps create seamless transitions between spike and volume fans, making them ideal for clean, cohesive looks—especially when using Camellia SuperMink Textured Lashes for hand-crafted spikes or Camellia Easy Spikes (Bonded & Non-bonded) for a ready-to-apply option.

2. Mastering the Spike

What Is a Spike? 

A spike is a closed fan formed by combining multiple lashes into one sharp, defined tip. In textured sets, spikes are your secret weapon for structure and style, solo for a sleek accent, or stacked for extra drama.

At Curacoro, we define spikes as individual, closed fans. Why? Because consistency is queen.

Popular Lash Maps Featuring Spikes

• Anime Style: Heavily grouped spikes to form dramatic accents
• Wispy Style: Spikes interspersed between volume fans
• Wet Effect: Narrow, glossy spikes with a clean finish

What Lashes to Use for Spikes? 

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation, so choose your lashes based on the effect you want:

Camellia Spike vs. Regular Spike

• Regular Spike: Uniform length, bold and defined, perfect for statement sets.
• Camellia Spike: Tapered tips from mixed lengths, blending softly into volume fans, ideal for anime and wispy styles.

3. How to Create Spikes with Camellia Lashes

Step-by-Step Guide 

There are two main product types from Curacoro that you can use to create spiky lash looks: manually with Camellia SuperMink Textured Lashes or with the pre-formed Camellia Easy Spike fans. Each offers flexibility for different levels of customization and speed.

1. Choose Your Spike Tool: Use Camellia Easy Spike (bonded or non-bonded) for pre-made spikes, or build your own using Camellia Super Mink Textured Lashes by pulling multiple mixed-length lashes together into a closed fan.

2. Pick Up Correctly: Whether pre-formed or hand-built, grip the spike near the base using precise tweezers to keep the tip tight and clean. Follow this video for reference: 

 

3. Dip Wisely: Apply adhesive slightly above the base, but not too much! So you avoid clumping and ensure secure attachment.

4. Apply with Purpose: Follow your chosen lash map for placement; adjust spacing to maintain balance between volume fans and spikes.

5. Refine the Set: Use a mirror or check from multiple angles to ensure uniform direction and tidy symmetry across the lash line.

4. Troubleshooting Spiky Styles

Creating perfect spikes can be a challenge, especially when it comes to maintaining clean bases and balanced spacing. But don’t sweat it. Here’s how to handle the usual suspects:

Avoiding Clumps & Uneven Spikes

• Avoid using too much adhesive—it can weigh down the spike and create stickies.
• Separate spikes clearly from volume fans during lash mapping.
• Use non-bonded spikes for softer designs.

Pro Tips for Perfect Consistency

• Clean those natural lashes, a fresh canvas helps with direction and hold.
• Use high-quality tweezers for grip and precision.

5. The Best Products for Spiky Lashes

Why Camellia Lashes Are Perfect for Creating Spikes

Camellia Lashes can create ultra-thin tip spikes that are perfect for anime-inspired designs. These spikes blend effortlessly with other spikes thanks to the tapered tips—this is key when you want the spike to look intentional, not harsh or bulky.
