500Pcs Medium Almond Fake Nail Tips Full Cover Clear Acrylic Nails Press on Nails for DIY Nail Art, 10 Sizes (Natural)

=== Updated Review - Oct 27, 2024 ===TL;DR I found a technique that works for me. I hope it does for you as well. After discovering a technique that is working well for me I am now bumping this review to a 5 star product rating along with the following corrections:* These nails are 100% medium length. In my original review I claimed they were not and were instead long length. The mistake was entirely mine because over 2 years ago I was completely inexperienced with nails and knew barely a thing. Fast forward to today. These nails are definitely medium length.* These are pointy almond nails and I love them.I bought these over 2 years ago. At the time I was only just starting and experimenting doing my own nails at home. Since this time I have tried many different nail enhancements (full cover, half cover, true nail tips, builder gels, dip powders, polygel, nail forms and dual forms).My original problem despite any nail prep routine (as in, regardless of how good it was) these nails (and others) would just pop off within 2 days. After spending a lot of time learning and trying different types of products and techniques I have finally stumbled on an approach that work for these nails (and probably any other full cover nail product).This technique, which finally occurred to me 2 days ago that might work, is using adhesive tabs in a specific manner. In the past whenever I have tried this the tips stayed on for maybe a few hours at best when the adhesive tabs were applied directly to prepped natural nails. What I stumbled on that works far better than I thought it would is:1. Apply a regular nail polish base coat (in my case, Sally Hansen's Double Duty) on my natural nails and let dry.2. Apply a regular nail polish top coat x 2 (in my case, Seche Vite) and let dry.3. Apply adhesive tabs on my nails.4. Apply these full cover tips.5. Apply desired nail color (in my case I just used regular polish, 3 layers, color here is LA Colors Color Craze "Wired" #424).6. Apply regular nail polish top coat x 1 and cap the free edges.7. Apply gel base coat and cure.8. Apply gel top coat and cure and cap the free edges.9. Apply a clear regular nail polish on the underside of my nails to seal any possible gaps between the nail tips and natural nails and let dry. This prevents any possible water from intruding between any gaps. In my case I needed two applications.With just this last approach alone these tips are holding on without any problem or movement. This includes washing my hands, taking showers and typing on keyboards using my nail tips instead of my finger pads. Currently as of this writing I am at a solid 2 full days of wear. Unfortunately tomorrow I need to change out my manicure for something that will work better for the coming week in a professional workplace setting so I will also update this review when I do remove these nails and what it took for me to do that safely.What I like about this approach is that the removal will be very easy due to just using adhesive tabs and there should be zero soak off. The worst case is that I might have to file the top coat off but I doubt it. It seems that the adhesive tabs adhere much, much better to a polish top coat product. I just do not know why this is the case but I am most definitely not complaining.I see no reason why removing steps 5 and 6 entirely if you are not going to use regular polish but want to use gel polish instead. In this case then insert after step 7 the desired gel polish color using the number of layers that you want for opacity.I just wish there was a size 00 for these nails because I have wider thumb nail beds.=== Original Review ===These are advertised as medium length. They are not and are long length. They do not last for long regardless of using adhesive tabs or even glue. I have gotten maybe 48 hours at best on these before they just start peeking up in either case.

Nice, strong nails. Go on easy. Easy to file. The amount for the price, a no brainer. I trim them, I like my nails a little shorter. Get decent glue, no problem staying on. I used to be at the nail salon every week, not any more.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I initially chose these nails for the variety of sizes. They are easy to apply and polish, and the shape is very attractive. When the time comes, they're easily removed with a cotton ball and acetone. The only downfall is they crack/break easily! If you work with your hands, be ready to have to replace nails often.

These are super durable and great quality nail tips. The length is perfect and they’re super easy to file down and cut. They are also not very hard to remove. Overall great nail tips and I would definitely buy again.

Love these nails will buy them again very lightweight works with acrylic glue or gel glue. And though they are flexible and they look like they be a lot they do not they’re actually pretty sturdy.

Ok let me preface this by saying I am a biter so there isn't a lot of nail bed for these to hang on to. That being said here comes the good and the bad!THE GOOD- the shape of these is spot on for almond shape. The cuticle area is rounded and the plastic isn't too thick or thin. They adhere well with press on nail tabs, Kiss brand nail glue, and Krazy Glue in the green and red tube- I tried all 3 on one set to see which I preferred :) Length wise they worked well as a longer length doesn't bother me but here comes the bad part...THE BAD- and this is literally the only bad- these things split horribly! I am a seasoned wearer of full coverage longer-than-average nail tips and I can count on one hand the number of times I had nails split- ZERO. Until these. 4 of the 10 nails on this set (the only set I have done) have split straight in half, right down the center, within 3 days of wearing. Two were adhered with press on nail tab and the others were glued on so I cant say if either of the application methods was the culprit. This last one I was literally scratching my stomach through my jeans and there it went! 4th one down and I decided to write this review.Other than that they were perfect but alas, I am shipping these back!

These are easy to apply and prep. I use dip powder over mine and they look nice. They are not heavy on your fingers. I like the adhesive quality. Comfortable to wear.

Love them, but breaks easily and melts if you have a heated dryer.
