BTArtbox XCOATTIPS Natural Nail Tips Matte -Short Almond Press On Nails Pink, Long Lasting Soft Gel Nails False Nail, Soak Off Acrylic Fake Nails Extensions for Nail Art DIY

The media could not be loaded. I love these nails. They’re my new favorite thing and the perfect solution for me. I’ve tried pretty much all ways of doing my nails - acrylic, poly gel, regular press ons, and now these gel press ons. I love press ons, but the issue with the regular ones is that the paint on them chips, scratches, rhinestones fall off, etc. And you’re not able to put a top coat on them to help prevent that, because it will only peel. These gel press ons solve those issues perfectly. I can paint them, put rhinestones on them, do designs, wear a top coat and it sticks/stays without issue. They also adhere very, very well and almost have an acrylic-like feel when on. I’ve had them on for a bit over a week so far, and they’re super secure - definitely showing no signs of going anywhere. Typically with regular press ons, 1 or 2 would have fell off by now and I would have had to glue it back on but these gel ones have not budged AT ALL and I’ve done so much with my hands. I’m sure I could do just about anything with these on and they wouldn’t fall off. I’m more worried about getting them off, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I also think they’re a fabulous value, going for about $12 a box currently. I’ll be able do my nails 5x with this pack, for just $12. You can get a good box of regular press ons for about $7 or $8 but you’ll only be able to use it one time, so you do the math. Overall, with all things considered, these come out on top and I highly recommend them. The only downside to these versus the regular ones is that they’re not pre-designed, so you’ll have to spend extra time designing them if you don’t want to wear them as is in which they’re still perfectly cute, but I do tend to get bored and like to switch it up but don’t always feel like or know how to do certain designs. So, that’s the only thing but beyond that, they’re still awesome.Just know that you’ll need to have a UV cure lamp and gel nail glue because regular nail glue won’t work. You can get a nail lamp for pretty cheap and it’s worth the investment. With these things and a proper prep, you’ll be good to go, promise!Update: It’s 5 months later and I’m finally re-ordering. I’ve done my nails 5x and they’ve lasted 3 weeks easily each time without falling off. In fact, I’ve never had one fall off regardless of how long I kept them on. Of course, as with any nails (acrylic, etc), after the weeks pass, they no longer look as fresh but that’s to be expected being that your nails grow out or whatever else, that’s why you do a new set. I still can’t think of a better way to do your nails in a way that is durable and lasts. They feel the same as having on acrylics and last just as long but they’re a WHOLE lot easier to do. I’m completely positive that it was a user error if anyone has had an issue with these nails.

I really love the length and the color of these nails. They are perfect and super easy to apply with solid glue gel. after you have them on all you have to do is decorate and voila salon quality nails for pennies on the dollar. I've had these on for a week now They haven't been or cracked. I got these for only $14.95 but these nails are usually around $30 so I got a really good value for my money. I'm not sure why these ones are cheaper because to me they're the best because all the other ones are short! I'm a long nail girly but even in other brands they don't carry long pre-made nails.

My new go-to nails!!! These say “extra short”, but I personally would just consider them a TRUE short almond nail size (if comparing to getting them done at a salon). The regular “short” sets in this brand (like many brands, besides impress and kiss) are way too long. But these are perfect! The quality is great! Keep in mind, they need a quick top coat. Even if you wanted the matte look, I would not consider these nails complete as is, and would still recommend using a matte top coat. The reason is, like all tabbed nails, is that you need to lightly buff the tips after gently snapping off your nail sizes. I think they knew this, so the nail as is does not have a complete look and is more like a perfect base for whichever clear finish top coat you prefer to get that beautiful jelly nail look. It would probably be so cute with a shimmer or glitter top coat too! Or maybe attempt an ombré, oooo, the ideas are flowing! These are so gorgeous and it only took about 5 minutes to do. The numbered sizes on the bottoms are easy to read and being on tabs, you can just slide your fingers underneath to quickly find the right sizes instead of digging through a little bag of nails and sorting out the mixed up sizes (such a pet peeve when nail companies are too lazy or cheap to make sure they package your nails already sorted and organized by size). I used their sticky nail tabs with these (the best I’ve found so far, btw) which were clearly labeled with the corresponding sizes and made applying a breeze. I prepped with an alcohol wipe, put the sticky pads on my nails, pressed on the nails, gently buffed the tips, applied two quick coats of gel no-wipe top coat (in the pink bottle) and ran out the door for blueberry picking! It’s been a few days and they are holding up beautifully. I imagine I should be able to reuse these several times with the sticky tabs. But I do also use brush on glue at times when I can keep my nails on a bit longer, and occasionally UV resin to gel my nails on if I am sure that I don’t need to take them off for a long time (like vacation). In those instances, I don’t attempt to reuse nails because usually the removal process destroys them. But with the price of these and how many sets you get, it’s still a great deal and far cheaper than getting them done at a salon. So all-in-all, two gorgeous thumbs up!
