Durable and great quality for good price! Tried these for the first time recently and definitely recommend them- easy to apply with the right supplies, glue is lasting, dries and cures quickly within 120 seconds under UV

Very nice The Beetles Tip Ex Nail Kit is perfect for at-home nails, especially if you’re a beginner. The tips are strong and durable , and the gel applies smoothly and cures well. My nails came out looking natural not bulky Super easy to use and totally worth the price. Great alternative to salon nails. I clipped and shaped them to my preference I love that these fit well on my flat nails with apex included already!I will come back to update with pics in about 2 weeks.

Upon first opening this box, I was not impressed. My initial thoughts were nails too thick, not enough sizes, very toxic smelling glue. However, I did complete a set of these nails, and here are my thoughts: Nail Quality- These nails are very sturdy and seem like they are very unlikely to bend. They are not soft gel, gel-x, or gel-e material, but rather like an ABS plastic. I know the product says acrylic extensions, but I'm not sure if they are truly any different from other plastic nail tips on Amazon. The apex is an amazing feature that gives these nails a quality finished look. Size Selection and Fit- There are not a lot of sizes, and the tight C curve makes sizing difficult. This was a huge disappointment at first, but I made it work. I have narrow nails and did not expect the C curve to be an issue, but these nails are tight even for me. What I found to work best, was to choose a nail size that was one size too big, and file the side walls to fit. For example, one of my thumbs fit a size 4, but the curve was so tight that it was 1) painful, and 2) I was concerned that it would result in too much stress/resistance on the glue and might pop off. So I used a size 3 (less tight curve) and filed the sides to fit properly before applying. This worked well for many of my nails, but did require time consuming customization. This set provides 8 full sets of nails if you can find sizes that fit you. Glue- I did not risk using the included UV glue. I have heard very negative things about Beetles glue/gel products and the levels of HEMA they contain. I was unable to find an ingredient list and did not wish to risk a gel allergy. Instead I purchased DND soft gel-e UV glue and this seemed to work fine. I plan to purchase Après HEMA-free UV glues if I intend to continue wearing nail extensions. Light- The light worked well, has a sensor, and a USB plug. There isnt a lot of space under the light, so it's a bit tricky to hold the nail extension on to press out bubbles AND get your fingers under the light, but I made it work. My second hand was much better than my first. Because I mainly purchased this kit for the nails and the flash-cure light, I would give it 5 stars. Like any new product, it will take a few applications before I feel like I've "got it". The apex on the finished nails is gorgeous and really elevates the look of at home nail extensions. I painted my set with DND gel polish and hope that I get at least 2 weeks wear from these nails! 1 Week Update: These nails have held up very well. After a week of wear, all 10 nails are still almond shaped with with a nice point. Typical press-ons wear away at the edges, altering their shape, but these have not. I decided to change gel colors after 1 week to see how much lifting has occurred. Lifting was minimal considering how inflexible the nails are. I highly recommend the gel glue I used. After filing them down and removing the lifted nail, I reshaped the apex with my e-file (best I could), and repainted a bright blue for week 2 wear. 2 Week Update: These nails last. After 2 weeks, they were still holding on for dear life, with no signs of popping off or major lifting. My concern after this time, was removal. First, I cut the nails down with a false nail clipper, then filed the gel polish off with my e-file, then soaked in acetone. The nails dissolved within input 15 minutes and was able to be scraped/wiped off like I would regular gel polish. There was no visible damage to my nails, and no abnormal thinness 👏. Ignore the dry cuticles (from the acetone soak), and see that my nails look great! Maybe just need a little hydration.

This nail tip kit is fantastic for at-home manicures. The 224 stiletto tips come in 16 sizes, so it’s easy to find the perfect fit for each nail. The Tipex UV nail glue makes them stick well, and the tips are sturdy yet lightweight. Great value for anyone who wants salon-style long nails without leaving home.

I love BEETLES!! I actually just purchased more products. I only gave 4 stars because of the gel glue in the kit. LOL 😆 It's not easy for me to put them on and cure at the same time. You cannot just press it on in place and then cure it. I hold it steady and my daughter hold the little lamp. If you move it and you don't hold the nail in place while curing, it's definitely gonna have bubbles. However, if you can keep your hand steady, no problem. The uv gel glue is very functional and keeps the nail on securly. Next time I'm just gonna use a different glue. Shhhhhh! lol The nails are so durable though. My sets last usually a little over 2 weeks and then I remove them. I can definitely go longer though because at the point where I remove them they are not even lifting. The apex look is very nice. The length and shape are great. Once cured they are sealed air tight. YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BREAKING A NAIL. I literally ran my hand finger tip first into a wall at pretty good force and the nail did not chip, break, or bend. My finger hurt a lot but the nail was not damaged. LMAO!! Very durable product. The little curing lamp is very good as well! I love that Beetles puts these kits together and they are definitely affordable. I would recommend!

I seriously love this concept and these nails are amazing. The glue that comes with them is nice and strong, those nails aren’t going anywhere. The only downside is the strong odor from the glue but honestly the benefits outweigh the negatives by a million. I am INCREDIBLY hard on my nails, and most sets are broken within the first week. These last me as long as I want to keep them on as long as the correct prep is done! I appreciate the shape of the nail as well, there is not an unnatural c-curve for the nail bed like some other tips. Tips for successful adhesion- -Sand the shine off the nail plate. -Push back cuticles and clean up any residue or remaining skin on nail bed. -Dehydrate the nail as best as possible, to remove oils or anything that may interfere with glue bond. -Don’t use too much glue! Play with the amount prior to curing and wipe off until you find a sweet spot. You want the glue to completely cover your nail bed without flowing over into the sides or underneath of the nail. If you follow these steps your nails will LAST. Highly recommend for beginner or at-home DIY nail artists to see what proper shape looks like and to gain a foundational understanding of what an apex should look like. Also, you can’t beat the price! There are a lot of tips in this one set, so unless you have a business this one pack should last you quite a while.

Great variety of sizes to choose from in this set! You should be able to find a size to fit every one of your nails with these. Loved the etching on them, makes for long lasting manicures. Easy to trim and reshape too!

Great variety of sizes, and quality. They’re quite strong nicely curved, and don’t wear down super easily like others I’ve tried. I’ve noticed the sizes are very close to each other and I can use the same sheet twice since they have about 18 sizes per sheet and only 6-8 wouldn’t be used on my finger, so these are gonna last me the year!

Très bon pour ongles naturel plat. J'aime beaucoup . Bon produit

Detailed review: I've purchased and tried these Beetles tipex, the Modelones tipex, and the five angels as well, and I can say these are the best. Here are the pros and cons comparing all 3: Pro: beetles has the most natural cutical area( being more of an oval shape as compared to the other brands which are very square and not natural) Con: Beetles does have the smallest sizes width and length wise, the thumbs (0's) are slightly to small so I use the model ones size (0s) and the length of the nails are slightly shorter. Pro: the Beetles adheres the best to flat nails especially with regular nail glue if that's your choice where as the other brands are still pretty thick and arched on the nail bed area. Con: the beetles nails are a bit flatter than the other brands, meaning the apex. But some will prefer that, imo it makes them more natural without having to sacrifice to much apex. Pro: the price you pay for the amount you get is the best deal out of all three. Model ones you only get 120pc and the five angels are $25+ Hope this helps. REMEMBER TO BE SAFE WITH NAIL PRODUCTS

Honestly, not great - they aren't very strong and they didn't fit my nail beds very well ,-,
