Beetles 12 Sizes Gel Nail Tips Etch X Soft Gel Nail Tips 504Pcs Pre Filed Half Matte Short Coffin Full Cover Nail Tips Fake Clear Acrylic Press on Nails for DIY Nail Extension and Salon Gift for Women

I bought these to create coffin shaped nails in a length that suits me. Coffin short is too short, not enough landscape for good nail art. , Coffin medium is just a bit too long for me. You can't really trim the coffin shape or it won't be a coffin shape anymore. I also purchased these in the almond mediums for the same reason. With the almond, I wound up with something like ballerina, which is fine but I wanted to see if I could get coffin or pretty close to it in a length I like without having to completely reshape each nail. Shaping these is very time consuming so you want to choose a shape and length that works for you pretty much as-is. When I snip off just the tip, these stiletto nails are as close to coffin as I can create without having to do a lot of work. I used an artificial nail cutter with a dial on it--$10 on Amazon and definitely the most accurate way to get all 10 the same length. I applied these nails and then set the dial on the trimmer at 5--the higher numbers on the dial will leave the nail longer. I believe the highest number is 7. The lower the number the more it will cut off. #5 takes off about 4 or 5 mm-- so the whole pointed portion, leaving just the tapered square end. I'm very happy with the results.I am new to doing full sets at home. I was misled to believe that I need to spend more than double on the Apres nails. I don't. These Beetles nails have been great so far at about 33 to 50% of the price. They wear well. I haven't experienced cracking. They're shaped and sized perfectly. I can find a size to fit each of my fingers with little to no filing down the sides. These are Beetles' reasonably new "etch x" tips that come pre-etched in the portion that covers your nail plate, saving a step in the application process. I am using Apres Extend Gel to apply these nails and I'm really happy with it. I haven't tried other brands yet, but the Apres gel seems to combine strong with gentle, so these suckers hold on really well but, unlike the glue that many brands offer, the Apres gel is gentle on my natural nail underneath so I can still grow my own nails and do a basic gel mani once in a while.One of the things I'm learning is that even when I didn't do a great job of getting the nails on right, they still last a long time without popping off using the method I'm using. I took off my first set after a week and figured out that even though there was some lifting, they very likely were not going anywhere for at least another week, maybe two. Air bubbles underneath is the biggest challenge to overcome, along with placing the back edge of the nail just close enough to your cuticle without getting too close. I either get no air bubbles but the back edge is too close, or a good placement with regard to my cuticle but in trying to be precise I let in air. Still, I'm getting a great looking full set. This mani would have cost about $125 at the salon. I've invested a few hundred dollars in equipment, supplies, and polish/art, but I have already more than paid for it in what I'm not spending on nail techs. I've watch a lot of how-to videos and I strongly suggest that if you're planning to start doing your own Gel-x nails at home.Overall good quality product at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I have been doing my nails for about two years now. These tips are my favorite affordable option!! I normally do two weeks per set but they can last me easily a month of which I was forced to test lol.A lot of people mention them being longer than expected however I don’t think people are taking into consideration how long their own natural nail bed is. This of course would affect how long the nail appears to you. I find them to be just fine for my nail bed length and they are also easy to file down if needed.HOWEVER, if you’re just starting out on the nail journey I actually recommend a longer length than you want because it’ll help give you leverage while you learn how to hold the nail for application. Doing nails on your own is definitely a learning curve but stick to it and you’ll get it!!I really like the pre-etch on these tips and have absolutely noticed a difference on how secure they feel. These puppies aren’t going ANYWHERE and it saves me time on having to etch them myself.So yes, highly recommend these tips! Oh and the polish I’m wearing is from RARJSM in color 482 called Rose Pink :)

Size is slightly longer then shown. But works perfect! Holds strong with their glue as well! Love it! So much cheaper and faster then going to a salon!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased the square short, pre-etched. I really like the shape, it's a tiny bit tapered. Enough that it doesn't look too boxy but is still a square. When searching for square nails many looked too wide around the edges. I looked at so many and watched so many reviews. These were the best I found shape wise.You get a good amount with 12 different sizes. The largest is a tiny bit small for my thumb, but I have bigger fingers. Other than that there seems to be a good variety of sizes.I love the length, to me it would be a medium. If you want short I would go with extra short. The cuticle area is thinner and the nail gets thicker towrds the tip. They seem pretty sturdy.I can't recall if these are supposed to be soft gel. They do feel like plastic. Not sure if you can tell from my photo but they do crease when bent. It went back to shape but left a mark. I did have to put some force behind it to bend it, though. I will say the pre-etched part does not seem well done. The nail still feels very smooth inside that area.
