Beetles Gel Nail Tips Short Oval Shape, 500Pcs Clear Soft Gel Nail Tips Pre-shaped Full Cover False Nails Gelly Tips for Gel Nail Polish Easy Nail Extensions Acrylic Press on Nails

I have short stubby fingers so I'm always on the look out for a more flattering shape. There is also the 'professional workability' aspect. So, as the set director, illustrator, digital press operator and general flunky, my hands take a beating. Economics being what they are, I've had to start doing my own nails and I struggle. This set fits all my nails, but uses way too many #7s per pack, but aren't so pricey tri can't refill.

Finally, after a lifetime of wanting longer nails but not having money or time to go to a professional, they have come up with gel extensions! I can totally do these myself and now that I have, I find they solve several problems I didn’t know I had… Once these are on, they are so much easier to paint neatly than my natural nails and the polish stays on until you take it off! My very oily natural nails would only hold polish for a day before chipping or just popping off all together. They are strong – With the longer nails I have to type by slamming the key straight down with the nail end and it has not been a problem at all. Unlike nail polish, the nails stay securely on my oily nail beds for weeks – I do some extra prep as my nailbeds are oily, but I have not had any pop offs and I am *rough* on my nails. They survive long periods of time under water, cleaning, yard work, etc.I do still struggle with applying them without an excess amount of glue around the edges. That is purely technique and I will undoubtedly get better with practice. In a meantime, a $6 electric nail drill does the trick to sand all that off/down. But other than that, these are super easy to do yourself. There are tons of videos on YouTube that walk you through all the steps and tricks. Take the time to fit the nails, sanding down the sides to fit your unique cuticle lines and nail widths – These aren’t made to just pop on out of the box. But it only takes a little time, not talent for them to look great!

I haven't used then yet but they're getting a 5 star because they do have MAN HAND sizes. 🤣 I had to check because I can never find any that fit my enormous thumb, ring and middle fingers and these actually had all three!

Good quality and reasonably priced! Still a little long for those with short nail beds.

I am so happy I found these. First I love the length. I type all day and have to stay on the short side with nails. Once I prepped them to fit my nail and glued them there was minimal filing for length and shaping. This set lasted about a week. Through research and tweaking my application of these nails I am now at 3 weeks of almost all of them staying put. I had two pop off at week 2, but I expected it because I was messing with trying to put air in my tires using those two nails for leverage. I actually ended up having to take them off because I was ready for a change of color after week 3. I will continue to purchase this brand and I am excited to order and try out a couple of new shapes.

Just got these today and immediately applied them and I'm obsessed! I used beetles regular nail glue to apply and they adhered perfectly (buffing your nails and cleaning with acetone right before application is crucial for good adhesion - also, apply the glue to BOTH your nails AND the tips). They are relatively thin which I like as it makes them feel more natural and the length is perfect! I didn't have have to trim them at all which is such a time saver. Highly recommend!

I had been wanting to try this but a lot of the nail kits are upwards of $100 so when I found this, I decided to give it a try I’m already a user of the gel nail polish from this brand so I thought I would give the artificial gel nails to try. Pretty easy to figure out even as a beginner but one thing I will say is that I cannot get these to last longer than a week. It’s very difficult to get glue across the whole nail and have it stay without there being any air bubbles that is probably the biggest issue that I’ve had I’ve used clamps they absolutely do not work. I think if there was a way to prevent there being any air bubbles, these would last longer closer to two weeks. But it’s not like gluing on regular acrylic nails. When you put the glue on the nail, it Hass to cure in order for it to stay and you have to push the nail down while it’s curing or else it won’t stick. I have found that I have to hold down the nail for at least the first 10 seconds of curing but because it’s extremely awkward trying to have both hands underneath the curing lamp and you have to cure each finger individually. You can’t just put glue on all the nails, stick all the nails on because they will immediately lift off. Unless they are held down and cured INDIVIDUALLY. For the money it’s definitely a worthy product. It’s just good to know that they really don’t last as long as they’re advertised to. If you don’t mind re-applying fake nails once a week….. it’s totally worth it. But it’s just important to know what you are going to get when you purchase. I just bought the nails and nail glue separately because I already had a caring lamp in the other supplies. I also recommend LED over UV!!

I love doing my nails and these have been working great for me. They are sturdy and look natural when painted it.
