Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips, Full Cover Gel Nail Tips Short Square Thicker Acrylic Nails,Strong Clear Pre-etched Press-on Nails,Matte Underside False Nails for Flat Nails

I absolutely love these nail tips. I can use regular nail glue and they last for weeks. I do wish they would come in a 400+ pack or even be able to re-order certain numbers. Overall these are my go to every single time

STURDY, truly the best gel-x out there. They say they’re short but they’re truly medium-short. With the right nail prep these can last easily longer than my regular acrylics. I’mLearning how to do my own nails and these are the best

I do my nails at home and these make it sooo much easier for me being I don't like to work with acrylic or polygel

These tipex are great quality, very durable and sturdy, with the tipex glue dries quickly under uv/ led light. Easy to apply to nail, the correct thickness for wear, and remove with ease. A great buy. Definitely recommend these

Love these! Sturdy and lasts a long time when done right especially when using the gel nail glue. The only con for me is that I have to tweak some of them when applying bc of my nail beds but it’s fine.

I bought these nails (nails only) with the intention of using them as press-ons using nail glue, because I have a serious gel allergy. So, please take into account that I have to use them with nail glue and am unable to use them with the intended Gel-X method.With that said, I would like to start out with the pros:- very sturdy. These nails have a nice, thick sturdy feel. Their thickness makes me think they will remain on my nails without any cracking or chipping of the actual nail, which can happen with thinner press-ons.- good range of sizes. I was able to find sizes for my nail beds, no problems.- professional appearance. Once applied, they appeared as if I had my nails professionally done. Not bad for press-ons applied with nail glue.Now, onto the cons:- thickness. As mentioned earlier, this can be nice if you wear your nails the length they come, which is long coffin. However, I found they were a bit too long for me, so I had to file and shape them down to a medium almond. This resulted in a very thick edge. I mean, it makes sense - these have a built in apex. I would love LOVE LOVE if Tipex had this same concept in short and medium almond, my preferred shape.- pain. Some of my nail beds are now hurting, and I suspect it is due to just how sturdy/rigid the nails are, even by the cuticle. They aren't thin, so there's no bend, and they don't mold to natural shape of your nail. This results in slight tugging and pulling of your nail bed once the glue is fully cured, causing a bit of pain. I am hoping this will subside in a few days. I used the nail glue/acrylic method so these babies are ON THERE, so I will have to wait a few days for the glue to naturally loosen before I try to take them off. Which leads me to my third con- space between nail bed and nail needed filling - I understand these nails were designed with the Gel-X method in mind, which allows for filling any gaps between the natural nail and the false nail with gel product. However, since I am allergic, I had to resort to using my trusted Glamnetic glue and acrylic powder method to fill the gap left. Normally, I use this method to create a strong bond when I want to wear my nails for a solid 2 weeks without fear of losing a nail. But in this case, I HAD to do this to fill the gap between my natural nail and the false nail, otherwise, I would get air bubbles and moisture. I think this issue could be resolved if Tipex makes their nails' Apex thinner and lower.- not flat-nail inclusive. What I mean by this is that although these nails are supposed to be flat-nail friendly, not all of their nails adhered to that. Example - the thumb is usually pretty flat for everyone, universally, yet the size 0 and 1 had a pretty pronounced curve that required extra glue and acrylic to fill the gap. This can easily be remedied by Tipex by simply flattening their 0 and 1 sizes a bit more.Conclusion - for me, for my intended purpose of using them as press-ons with nail glue and not gel glue, I am going to return the rest of the unused product because the cons far outweigh the pros. It took a very long time to file and shape the nails how I needed them, and the entire point of press-ons is to be quick and easy and fun - this process was none of that for me. Although the quality and price is fantastic, for my particular use, it just isn't enough to justify the TIME and EFFORT required to make them look how I like.Sorry Tipex - these are going back. But please please please, if you make them in short and medium almonds, I will definitely come back and try again :)

I will never buy another brand. These are nice and strong, and they really hold up well. I use the semi solid glue and I swear my nails don't get damaged underneath. These, along with semi solid glue are game changers.

Just started doing nails and this instant apex was so realistic love this product
