BTArtboxnails White French Tip Press On Nails, Extra Short Nails, 160Pcs

I'm relatively new to false nails, although this isn't my first round. I prefer tips on the shorter side, and I use only air-dry glues and lacquers. These work with my preferences, and are also easy to apply and remove, shapeable, comfortable, realistic, durable, inexpensive, and can be painted without the need for buffing. The size (XS Oval) still has a bit of length (~4mm free edge on me, as I have shorter nail beds), but they aren't obtrusive. I have smallish pinky nails and flat/wide beds in general, and didn't have issues finding a fit. The cuticle area isn't terribly square but I do find that the larger sizes fit better if I round them off a little, as my cuticle line is rounded. They are easily reshaped with a 180/240 file, and they don't get too thick at the cuticle if you do so. The tips have a nice slight taper but they aren't too pointy. I have fair-cool skin and the Nude French shade doesn't pull too yellow or too pink; they look a hair peachier in sunlight than they do in overcast or indoor lighting, but not orange. They are slightly sheer so you should take your time to avoid glue bubbles showing through, but they aren't totally see-through like a jelly nail. I also like the matte clear tips in the same size/shape, which is what I use when I want to paint them. If you look into those, please note that those are currently listed on Amazon as XS Almond, but they are definitely the same size/shape as the XS Oval in the French tips, and are listed on the brand website as XS Oval as well. The attached picture is shown with sticky tabs from the same brand, unshaped and using a regular air-dry top coat (please note that they are matte without it). Shaping and using glue will give a more natural look, but they are passable even with a quick application unless you're inspecting very closely, IMO. I try to avoid using my nails as prying tools (I carry a blunt oyster shucking knife to use instead), and I reapply my top coat every 3-4 days to help protect the French tip, but otherwise I don't baby them; I do plenty of cleaning and lifting and pet-scratching and hand/face-washing and shampooing throughout the week. I have yet to have any of these nails break or crack on me, and pop-offs are very rare with a good glue. I usually like to swap them out every 7-10 days or so just because I like to change designs, but two weeks of wear is attainable even with air-dry products; I imagine gel would give an even longer wear time, if I used it. For me these are among the best nails you can find on Amazon, and definitely worth the price, which currently comes to about $5 per application if you get them on Subscribe & Save (plus a few cents for glue/tabs and top coat). Honestly a very good deal for something comfortable and natural-looking that still gives me the flexibility to change them whenever I wish.

These are my favorite nails- I used to pay $50+ for dip every two weeks because I love the look of nice hands. Now i use these- they a bit flexible so your finger doesnt hurt so bad when you wear them like other brands. I did get better glue but they stay on for a solid week (sometimes more) and im super hard on my hands.

I am a salon girly every 2 weeks spending 60+ on nails and i wanted to give these a try to see if it was worth it. I’ve had the same set on now for 16 days and only needed pop on 2 new nails during this time. Quality 8/10 I will say applying a top coat weekly does help keep them clean looking/ stopping them from chipping which they will if you don’t. Only downfall, they do tend to wear down and may need reshaped here and there. Highly recommend though! Strong, not flimsy. 1/2 sets used $15 for 2 weeks compared to $60+ at a salon is a win win!

Hello All! If you’re looking for an at home nail routine, this is the one you want. I am an active stay at home mother to two young kids. The extra short length is just right to not scratch the kids. You will need a top coat on this but as this product states, it helps with the wearing of the nail. The almond looks classy as well. There are 5 sets that come in this pack so you can get many manicures out of this purchase. They’re easy and quick to put on. I would recommend this item.

I don’t have builder gel or the product it says to use, I just used nail glue and then a regular gel top coat. You def need something on top otherwise it looks very matte and flat. Will update review with how they stay on, but right now I really like them
