Gelike EC 240PCS Soft Gel Nail Tips Kit - Clear Cover Full Nail Extensions - Medium Almond Pre-shaped Acrylic False Gelly Nail Tips 10 Sizes for DIY Salon Gift Nail Extensions

The media could not be loaded. I’ve had these tips on for a week and they are holding on strong! The shape is great, but it’s not medium length on my nails because I have short nail beds so I have to cut, and file them to a shorter length for myself. They hate definitely thin, so I used builder gel to give it some thickness. I’d recommend getting the shorter length if you have small, flat, short nail beds. I used builder gel to adhere the tip to my nail and I’ve been doing this for months it keeps my nails strong and I find this tip is a lot easier for me to adhere to my nails. I love love love all the sizes available because my pinky is tiny and the 11 size nail fits perfectly. I’d definitely recommend this set to anyone.

My favorite product to put my nails on with! Have reordered again! My nails last so much longer and easy to get off with acetone. It is a great price and last a while.

I used to have long coffin tips which I would have to cut down, but noticed when I did so that it would flatten the C-curve of the nail and make them lose their coffin shape and become a little more square. But these are the PERFECT length for someone who is used longer nails but not ~super~ long (and if you aren't, this length is very easy to adjust to. i wipe just fine ;) ) so I no longer have to compromise shape to get the length that is most comfortable for my lifestyle. These also come pre-buffed so they attach really well to the natural nail, and they remove the quickest out of any apres dupe i've tried (soak in acetone for 10 minutes, scrape, soak for another 5-10 minutes, scrape, and it's usually all gone. any left is thin enough that it can be buffed/filed off). I've been using tips for over a year now and with trial and error have found the best way to keep my nails on for 4+ weeks with little to no lifting:Before doing anything, size your nails to see which size tips you will need for each one. if you write down the size that each of your nails needs the first time you use them, it's unlikely your nail beds will change in size and you won't have to spend 10+ minutes sizing your nails each time you sit down to do these.1. proper nail prep- push back/remove cuticles (any cuticle remover will work, sally hansen is a popular one), buff, nail dehydrater (there are lots of these on the market, i honestly just wipe some acetone on my nails and it seems to work? im not a licensed tech though lol), nail primer2.cure glue on natural nails- i use the beetles nail glue for these, and i do NOT use base gel. most glue bottles will say a base is 'optional' but it saves so much time to not use it and i honestly found my nails were staying on better once i stopped using base. apply a relatively thin layer so that it can cure properly under a lamp.3. prep the tips (this can also be done before steps 1 or 2)- buff or file the base of the tip to fit your nail bed. i have a skinny, rounded cuticle area and most tips come with a rounded square base, so i shape them to better fit my nail beds.4. prime the tips- yes, i use primer on the tips (but only the part that will go on my nail). a little goes a long way, and i shake the tip vigorously for ~5 seconds so the primer dries before adding glue5. apply glue to tip- do NOT be shy with the glue (within reason). I used to not put enough glue on in the name of avoiding excess glue pooling out under the tip, and then they would lift within days. it's MUCH better to avoid air bubbles and have slightly unattractive pools of cured glue under your nail than to end up with air bubbles that will cause lifting6. invest in a small LED or UV flash cure lamp so you can cure the tips one at a time. after curing glue on each of my nails, i can turn on the flash cure lamp, apply glue to one tip at a time and hold the tip down on my nail under the light for about ~10 seconds. this will NOT completely cure it, but itll secure the tip to the nail well enough that you can complete the application process before completely curing under your regular lamp. if there is any glue that pools out of the sides of the tip, the flash cure lamp also cures the gel but it stays soft, so its easy to lift off with a cuticle pusher or clip off with a cuticle clipper (i find that the latter actually works really well)7. buff the tip- this will help the polish stay on. you do not need to put base gel on the tips! oil does not accumulate on a plastic tip the way it does on a natural nail, so base gel is not necessary

very sturdy and has a great shape to it, plus you don’t need to file before applying, my only complaint is the nail lengths are weird, like the smaller nails are way to long, and the bigger nails are to short.

I have pretty short nails and find traditional acrylic nails to feel too heavy. These were the perfect short length for me not being overly long and claw like. It was pretty easy to apply with a UV light activated glue and they lasted pretty long! They are flexible and thin enough to feel like a natural nail. They provided an excellent base for my gel polish and was very easy to remove when I needed to remove them.

Love the glue as someone who does her own nails they really held and maintained sturdiness

The media could not be loaded. These have definitely changed since I last bought them. Either that or these are counterfeit, not too sure. The last time I purchased was July 2024. The new ones a much less durable at the base, have a more curved apex, and the sizing is a little off. I’ll try them but I’m not confident and will probably be looking for a new go-to brand.

Gel X is a game-changer for fake nails! I used to struggle with regular press-on nails that never lasted long enough, but with Gel X, my nails stay put for weeks. I applied them for the first time before a special event, and they lasted through a weekend trip without a single issue. The process was easy, and they looked like they were professionally done. My friend even asked if I’d gone to the salon, which made me feel so proud! The best part? They didn’t damage my natural nails when I took them off. This stuff is amazing, and I’m already planning my next set of designs.
