beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips — Medium Almond, 192pcs (16 Sizes), Pre-etched Thicker Tips for Salon-style Extensions

Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped, thicker medium-almond tips with a built-in apex that let you create structured, acrylic-style extensions at home without builder gel.

These ready-to-apply nail tips from Beetles Gel Polish offer a firmer alternative to ultra-flexible tips, delivering a pronounced C-curve and elevated apex that mimic professional acrylic work. With 192 pieces across 16 sizes, the set gives plenty of options for matching natural nail plates and practicing multiple applications. The underside is pre-etched so gel adhesive bonds quickly, while the thicker profile supports shaping, filing, and a long-lasting finish once sealed with gel polish or top coat.

How do Beetles Tipex tips simplify at-home nail extensions?

The tips arrive pre-formed to fit the curvature of natural nails, reducing shaping time and helping even beginners get consistent results. You only need to prep the nail, apply gel glue, place the tip, and cure as instructed. Their firm construction holds shape during filing so you can refine length and silhouette without collapsing the tip.

• Pre-shaped C-curve saves shaping effort and creates a salon-style profile
• Pre-etched underside improves glue adhesion for secure application
• Thicker material resists bending when filing or shaping
• Includes 16 sizes with multiple duplicates for accurate fits

Will these tips work with my existing gel polish routine?

Yes—these tips are compatible with standard gel glues and gel polish systems. After adhering the tip and curing the glue, you can apply base coat, color, and top coat as usual. The sturdy structure withstands standard curing times and keeps a smooth surface for painting.

• Pre-etched base for strong gel glue bond
• Firm surface accepts base coat and color evenly
• Durable enough for typical LED/UV curing steps
• Polish and finish just like natural extensions

How do I choose the right size and shape for my nails?

The set contains 16 distinct sizes (00–14) with 192 tips total, giving multiple pieces per size so you can trial fit and find the best match. Start by placing each tip over the natural nail to check sidewall alignment and coverage at the cuticle line. File or trim small differences for a customized fit before final bonding.

• 16-size range covers narrow to wide nail beds
• Multiple tips per size allow try-ons and swaps
• Medium almond profile offers a balanced tapered look
• Trim and file edges to fine-tune fit and length

What maintenance and finishing steps work best with these tips?

After adhesion and curing, lightly buff the seam between tip and natural nail to create a smooth transition. Apply base coat, gel color, and a durable top coat to protect the tip and add shine. Regular salon upkeep—fills, edge refinements, and professional removal—will keep extensions looking their best.

• Buff the join to eliminate visible ridges before polishing
• Use quality base and top coats for lasting wear
• Refill or replace when natural nail growth becomes visible
• Soak-off or professional removal prevents damage to the natural nail
