BTArtbox XCOATTIPS Clear Soft Gel Nail Tips, Extra Short Almond, 320 Pcs

***UPDATE NOTE*** I'm on day 23 of my current set and they're still holding like it was day 1!!! To be clear, the pictures added are from two different applications. The clear short ones were one attempt, and the long red ones were another. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am using a cheap extension with them, so the longevity isn't due to that. Not one edge is pulling up like it has lost adhesion. I did pretty much everything mentioned in my original post, with one exception (filing the inside of the press-on). For reference, how I've gotten 23 days of PERFECT wear out of them is: There was a slight difference between my left and right-hand application. On my left, I used a dehydrator and primer before putting the nails on, but I did NOT do that on my right hand. At 23 days, I can tell you I can not tell the difference in how they are adhering. 1. Cleaned up my cuticles (used an orange stick to push them back, trimmed off the excess skin 2. Lightly buff my nails. I'm trying to grow them out to be healthy, so I took a lot of time with this to be sure I'm only taking off a TINY bit when buffing them. Basically, lightly passing my buffing block over the nails until the shine is gone 3. Using my power nail drill to file the INSIDE of the extension. I roughed that up pretty good. 4. Used an alcohol wipe on all my nails really well, paying attention to the sidewalls, to get ALL the dust off them 5. Used another alcohol wipe on the extensions, also to get dust off them 6. Left hand only (I forgot to do to the right hand). I used a Dehydrater, and once that dried, I put on a layer of Primer 7. Put a bead of the glue on the extension - I don't do this right at the bottom edge, I put it on about the bottom 1/4, and I put a bead on but also run the nozzle to the left and right of the nail a bit to make sure it easily gets to the sides in the next step 8. Put the nail on by lining up the bottom edge just a smidge above my cuticle at a 45 degree angle and SLOWLY angling it down until it is flat. I do move it a little bit side to side, careful not to lift it at all (to keep it air-bubble-free) IMPORTANT NOTE! DO NOT lift the nail at all after it's seated, or it will absolutely get air trapped. If you DO have to lift it for any reason, put a little bit more glue on the nail to get rid of bubbles. 9. Flash-cure the nail under a UV lamp (I do 10 to 15 seconds) 10. Put on the other 4 nails on that hand the same way, and then do a full 90-second cure of the whole hand. 11. Put on a thin layer of base coat and cure 12. Put on a thin layer of gel polish and cure 13. Put on a thin layer of top coat and cure ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I put on a little more glue than needed, and it did flood under my nail and the side walls. I cured it with that overlap on because I just can't hold the uncured nail in place while cleaning off the excess. I haven't figured out HOW to do that without the extension nail lifting up and getting air bubbles. I wait until after it's fully cured, and then I use nail nippers to cut the excess glue off. I do that at an angle so it matches the curvature of my nail. I then use a fine grit (180) thin file to lower that down even more until there is no overlapping glue on my sides/cuticle area. I use nail nippers to get some of the glue out from under my nail, though there is still a bit When they started to grow out (when they'd grab my hair, basically), I filed the extension until it wasn't shiny anymore and cleaned it off with an alcohol wipe. I then used a builder gel to fill in the grow-out area (I kinda pooled it in the grow-out area and then just did a light swipe up on my nail, so that was just a thin layer). I flash-cured each nail after doing the builder, so it wouldn't run or anything. When done, I cured the whole hand for 90 seconds. I then did base coat + gel polish + top coat on each of the nails. And here I am, at day 23, with absolutely ZERO lift on any side of any nail! I am SHOOKETH, y'all! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***ORIGINAL REVIEW*** This is for the glue, only (I didn't get the nails with it). I have done my own nails at home for a year or two at this point, but I wore acrylics and extensions for more than 15 at this point. That is to say, I am a bit of a nail snob now. Usually, I use regular nail glue with half-tip extensions (the kind that you glue on in the middle or upper quarter of your nails). I had accidentally ordered full nail extensions a year ago and just never used them. I decided to try them with this glue. Oh my heckin gawd! First, let me say this was ridiculously easy to apply. I put a dot of the glue on the full extension, bottom center. When I put it on, I slid the nail up and down and side to side a bit, to get the glue all over my natural nail. It took about one single second to do. Once I had that and could see there were no bubbles, I flash-UV'd the nail to set it, cleaned off the excess glue around the edges, and then moved on to my other fingers, doing the same thing. Once I had my 4 main nails done, I cured for just over a minute. I then did my other hand, and then both thumbs. Let me just say, WOW. These suckers are ON there. They don't budge, and the excess glue that I failed to clean off was actually super easy to remove (nail nippers). My nails hurt the rest of the evening, but that was because of the shape of the nails I used. It didn't hurt bad, just that tenderness you get when you put on a new set of acrylics after not wearing them for a week or two. It wasn't the glue's fault, it was just the shaping of the nails. The glue didn't even feel warm under the lamp. I've had them on for a full 24 hours now, and they feel solid. Like, I feel my actual nail would come off before these things would. I have one area that looks like I didn't get glue on that edge (operator error), but other than that, they look remarkable. I will report back how long they lasted once they start to come off (or I decide to switch them out), but as for an initial reaction, I am floored. I've attached two pictures. One is just a view of a few nails. You can see how perfectly flat they lie on my nails. There is some bubbling you can see at the tops of my fingers, that's excess glue I haven't removed yet. The other picture is my thumbnail where I didn't get the glue all the way to the edge. As you can see, there is a visual difference. Knowing this now, I know what to look for when I use this next time.

I’ve been using these clear nail tips for my at-home sets for the past 3 month’s and they are honestly amazing! I do my own nails so I need something that’s durable but still looks natural and BTArtbox always deliverers. This brand is actually one I consistently go back to. I use their nails all the time because they hold up just like salon sets! They are strong, reliable and long-lasting without feeling bulky. I always pair them with a builder gel overlay to add extra strength and durability and that combination has been perfect! It gives me that solid salon-quality structure while still keeping the nails lightweight and natural-looking. I first used these clear nails for a bold jelly red set and the application was super smooth. The nails are sturdy but still lightweight, and they shape really nicely! especially for almond/stiletto looks. What I love most is how clear they are!! they’re PERFECT if you like using sheer or jelly polishes because the color shows true without looking cloudy. After about three weeks, I did a refill instead of starting from scratch, I removed the red polish and switched to a soft sheer pink design and the nails still held up beautifully! No cracking, no breaking, no lifting. they stayed strong the entire time. That’s what really sold me. Being able to reuse the same set for a completely different look without compromising durability is a huge plus, especially when you’re doing your nails at home. Overall, these are super reliable, beginner-friendly, and versatile plus this kit comes with a great quantity of nails! If you love switching between bold colors and soft sheer looks like I do and want something that performs like a salon set, all the nails by this brand are definitely worth trying!

Love these nails! Prefect length and shape for me. Last longer than others I've tried!

These are AMAZING quality nails. The shape is perfect and I love how many sizing options they have. My only downside is the length is a bit longer than I wanted but these would be perfect for people with longer nail beds. Otherwise, amazing.

I initially bough a pack back in March of 2025 and just now ran out of my size so it lasted me about a year, granted i didn’t put on a set every two weeks. The nails themselves are decent quality, they don’t bend a lot which I like but I find that if I make them too long they snap in half pretty easily. each set lasts me 1.5, maybe 2 weeks if I’m careful. Tips for a longer lasting set: -file the edges of the acrylic to fit the shape of your nail -file the inside and top part of the acrylic -push down/ cut your cuticle -buff and file nail bed and sides of your nails -wipe your nails with 100% acetone right before gluing them on (I like the onyx brand) beauty secrets nail glue from Sally’s is top tier. For nail polish I use sally hansen Insta dry and I use their top coat as well. I hope this helps, stay gorgeous divas!

Beginner friendly, easy to apply and feel very realistic. I’ve had salon nails many times, I will never go back to a salon!

So I’ve heard so many good things about this brand and thought to give a try. I am a DIY girlie and I thought I would use these as a base then poly gel. The sizing of the nails were a bit wide. They were easy to use. Shape was on point but I ordered short and they were mixed some were short and others were long. I guess they were durable for the type of nail.

These nails are strong and last me about 3 weeks

I bought these and I bought more expensive ones to make press on nails for my clients during the lockdown...... these are by far the BEST quality. They’re sturdy, the perfect shape and just overall amazing quality. 10/10 will be buying more

I would recommend purchasing them !
