beetles Gel Polish 2 Pcs 15ml Nail Glue Kit for Acrylic Nails, 5 in 1 Super Strong Brush in Nail Gel Glue for False Nails Tips and Gel Nail Polish Led Lamp Required Nail Art Gift

I recently purchased these nail tips to use with my Gel-X set, and I'm really impressed! The sizes are perfect and fit my natural nails comfortably without needing much filing or adjustment. They're strong yet flexible, making application super easy, and they adhere well with the gel for a long-lasting finish. I love how they shape beautifully, giving a salon-quality look at home. These tips make my gel extension process so much smoother and faster. If you're into DIY nails or professional use, I highly recommend them. Great quality, great sizing, and they hold up really well. Definitely a repurchase!

I bought these as part of getting started on doing Gel x nails at home. I like coffin shape, but the coffin mediums are just a little too long for me and the coffin short are not quite long enough. My hope was that I could use the almond medium and snip off the tip to get something like coffin or ballerina. That worked pretty well. Many reviews led me to believe that I needed to spend the money on the Apres brand gel tips, but these worked great for 1/3 the price.I didn't spend much time on my polish or bother with any art because this is my first set done at home and I'm sure they won't last very long. So please excuse my very pink and not very precise polish. I needed to dive in, make the mistakes, and learn. And I did. Start to finish only took about an hour and half. Some are on slightly crooked, almost all have air bubbles particularly around the cuticle. This was actually easier than I thought it would be. I learned that my flash cure device needs to have a motion sensor. It takes both hands to place the nail perfectly over my natural nail and hold it in place while it flash cures. My flash cure device requires a button push in order to light up. I could have done a much higher quality job if I had a third hand, or didn't have to push that button to flash cure. So I'll be replacing that little device.As part of making this doable for me, I used a peel off gel base coat on my natural nails under this mani. I love the gel x nails but the removal process is a nightmare--dealbreaker for home manicures. Acetone destroys my skin and my natural nails so after a while they break easily with even a good regular gel mani. The salon price to pay for a full set of gel x and then the maintenance protocol is way more than I want to spend on my nails. So I've watched a lot of videos on how to do this at home, and in that process I found peel off gel base and learned why people use it. The purpose is to make the removal process much easier and gentler. It's not quite as "peel off" as the name implies so this is not necessarily for one-night nails. My nails are likely to last days to even a couple of weeks but instead of filling in, drilling off and changing the polish, etc., I will remove them without acetone and drilling and just apply a new set. You still need a remover with the peel off base. You typically have to buy or make that separately. I noticed people who don't use a remover give the peel off base bad reviews. Jello Jello peel off base comes with remover. Really all that's needed is some warm soapy water, some cuticle oil, and an orange wood stick. You apply a few drops of a remover around the edges of your nails, or soak them in warm soapy water for about 5 minutes. That loosens the peel off gel base enough to allow the nails to pop off since it is what is covering your natural nail. There is still some basic work involved, but if done correctly there should be virtually no damage to my natural nails. It seems the better you prep your bare nails, the longer the peel off base lasts before your nails start to lift or pop off. Some who did normal gel mani nail prep said even at 2 weeks they were still holding on pretty well. So if you only want a day or two, don't prep your nails.I love these gel nails so far and will buy them again. I found a size to fit all of my nail plates without much filing on the sides. They're comfortable and look nice. They feel strong so I'm not concerned about cracks. I didn't prep the gel nails after I applied them. Most video makers recommend that. I just did a regular gel base coat, two coats of polish, and a top coat. It's been 4 days, I type a lot every day, and my polish isn't peeling or chipping at all. Recommended.

This Beetles nail glue is one of the best I’ve tried. The brush makes application super easy, and it holds my nail tips really securely without lifting. I’ve used it for both acrylic tips and press-ons, and they lasted much longer than with regular glue. It does require curing under a UV lamp, but once set, the nails feel strong and salon-quality. A little goes a long way, so the bottles will last for many applications.

I use this product for gel x, and it works very well! I’ve never had an issue with nails popping off when I use this product. Very easy to use and super affordable for anyone who enjoys doing their own nails at home. Just make sure with a product like this you ONLY use clear nails when applying and curing. Then you can paint them after. Not using clear tips will not allow the gel to fully cure and can lead to getting contact dermatitis. But as long as you use a clear nail tip and a good UV lamp, this product is great!

I really wanted to love these Beetles nail tips right out of the box—and now I do! But I’ll be honest: it took some trial and error to get there.Let’s start with the positives. The quality of the tips is incredible—they feel sturdy but not too thick, and the shape is super flattering. Once applied correctly, they really do last like a salon set. I’ve gone over 2 weeks without a single one lifting or popping off. That alone makes them worth it.BUT...the instructions are pretty vague if you’re new to gel extensions or Gel X-style application. My first attempt was rough. I ended up having to remove and reapply multiple nails because they weren’t sticking properly or had air bubbles underneath. I ended up watching a few tutorials online to really understand the best technique (tip: flash cure with a mini UV light while pressing the nail down!).After a few practice rounds, I finally got the hang of it, and now I feel like a DIY nail pro. If Beetles updated the instructions with step-by-step visuals or a QR code to a tutorial video, this would be an easy 5-star product.📌Tips to save you time:Buff your natural nail first and use a good dehydrator/primer.Use just enough gel to cover the inside of the tip—too much = overflow.Press and flash cure before putting your hand under the full-size lamp.Overall, these are amazing nail tips for anyone who wants that salon look at home—just be prepared for a little learning curve. Once you get it, you’ll never go back to press-ons or pricey appointments!
