Makartt Solid Nail Glue Gel: Super Strong Nail Glue for Press On & Acrylic Nails, 3D Gel Nails Art Design, Long Lasting Clear Adhesive 15ML, UV Lamp Cured, Ideal for Home Salon DIY Use

I'll be passing these along to a friend, as I am unable to use them. Can only fit index/middle/ring (sorta), leaving no good fit for thumb or pinkie nails. It's a shame because they seem well made and excellently priced. Revised 1/2024 - figured out I can adjust the thumb fit by slightly filing the edges to narrow and the base to change that curvature! (Yes, I felt dumb for not thinking of it first.) Pinkie nail was fine, don't know why I didn't like it the first time. I've now worn these twice and been absolutely delighted - they are easy to apply and shape, lightweight enough to feel relatively normal and very comfortable, and they took polish like a dream. Not a chip or wear mark the whole time. Still wish I could order the specific sizes I need, now that I know what those are.

My teen daughter wanted nails done for a dance. I was not about to spend 50-60 dollars on fake nails at a salon. So I ordered these and glue. It worked out perfect. They look really nice. The only thing is that the thumb nail sizes were a bit to big for her thumb. Because we were in a hurry I didn't have time to file the thumb nail down around the sides. So we just used it as is. I think for my first time applying nails, I did good. I googled "how to apply acrylics" for tips. I suggest if this is your first time also, to do the same I ordered the "short" nails because I think my daughter is to young for the longer length. They could have been shorter. I imagine the "long" length are VERY long. Overall, a good value. They are sturdy. Before you glue on the nails you will have to file the tips just a little bit to file off a piece of plastic that sticks out. I have a few special events coming up and I will be using these nails for that day.

I got the short clear oval tips. I'm no pro, but I've been doing full cover tips of some sort on myself for 20+ years to keep me from picking my nails, so I know what works for me and what doesn't and know how to make them look pretty natural. These seem like high quality full coverage tips, and I really like Makartt products in general. That said, I am returning these because they will be unusable for me without a ton of modifications. There are some important sizing issues that buyers should know going in about these, because they can impact how you wear them: - they run SMALL... I'm talking 3-4 sizes smaller than most U.S. full coverage tips. I have quite small nail beds already, but these were verging on child sized. I typically wear a size 3 or 4 on my thumbs and a size 10 or 11 on my pinkies. With the Makartts I had to go to 0 on the thumb and 7 on the pinkie. - the sizing also seems a bit inconsistent between sizes, meaning there's a larger jump between some sizes and smaller jumps between others. Within a bag they seemed all the same, so at least quality control seems good. - the c-curve is pretty flat to begin with, and if you do any filing to adjust the sizing it quickly flattens more. Because they are so sturdy, they resist bending which is normally a good thing for strength, but in this case it's not so good because of the next point. I already have flat nail beds on most my nails and normally have to fill the c-curve of most full cover tips with gel or glue, but these tips were so flat that the side walls were floating up in the air! I've never experienced that before. - the cuticle line is super square in all sizes. Normally most people's thumbs have more of a square cuticle line and smaller fingers have more of a curved cuticle line, so many full cover tips reflect this. Still, since everyone's cuticle and finger shapes are different, many of us are used to lightly shaping the cuticle line of tips to get them to fit better. However, filing the cuticle line of these tips caused the c-curve to flatten even more and I ended up with floating side walls. Overall, I just couldn't get these tips to fit me without a ton of adjustments and they just ended up looking odd. There's better fitting tips for me out there so these weren't worth it. Perhaps if you have super flat, super square, super tiny nail beds these will work better for you. I still love Makartt, just not these tips.

Let me start by saying that I have always got acrylic nails because my real nails are so thin and even when they grow out, their shape is weird and they never look nice no matter what I do. Acrylics however are so bulky and expensive. I decided to try to find a cheaper and more natural alternative and this is it!!! *these are pretty long but I was able to cut them to size *they are clear so you can see the nail polish through the nail like a natural nail *they appear to be strong with multiple layers of polish. I’m on a week of wear and no chips yet! *customizable!!!! So what I did was clean my hands, make sure they are bacteria free. I used rubbing alcohol on the nails as well which also helps dry them out. I then file the tops of my nails so create a rough surface and I also file the inner part of the fake nail so it too has a rough surface when gluing to my finger. This is so important!!! When I glue them on, I used a glue that has a brush like a nail polish, and I paint the glue on my nail and a tiny bit on the fake nail. I press them on to make sure there’s no bubble or air and I also make sure the mail fits perfectly to my finger! If not, it will lift and chip. After my nails are on, I then cut/file them to the size and shape I want. I go over the top of each mail again and rough the top up with a file so the polish sticks nicely! But DO NOT USE ACETONE REMOVER or your fake nails will melt right off lol. You can see the process in my photos! My nails look so natural which is what i wanted! And boy are they STUCK on!! Follow this method and your nails won’t budge!!

Wasn't bad just had little product and had broken open at the top and spilled on my carpet. You could probably find something for cheaper that's better quality.

These were exactly what I wanted. No more filing or shaping, which im not so good at.

I have very small hands with very tiny nails/nail beds, as pictured. I was able to utilise these nails for my hands in the sizes shown (1,5,4,5,8 on each hand). I have added a photo of what they look like plain on my fingers (first glued) and once they have been trimmed and painted (final look). They are good quality and flexible, easy to cut and shape without being too flimsy. Good colour as they are transparent so the polish shows up similarly to normal nails. Good to style as I prefer slightly shorter nails than most false nails provide which can be harder to cut. Good value for money. You will need to buy nail glue as it is not included.

I am no professional, but I thought I would try my hand at doing my own nails. I decided that I couldn’t trust my left hand with the gels (coz you know not a professional or coordinated) so I got these coffin tips to paint then glue on. I was actually impressed. They were easy to work with and they are not too thick once you put 4 layers of gel. I would definitely buy these again :)

These are very strong and durable, have great shape and length, and they’ve become my go to when I do my nails; the sizes are quite small though. I have small hands and the size 0 just fits my thumbs. If you have small hands these will work great for you, if not though you might be better off looking for something else.

Good length for natural looking nails, only thing is they are a bit small, especially the thumb size, but they are good quality and I found some sizes that I was able to work with and I don’t have big nails, once on they do look natural, last and do look good.
