beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips — Short Square 192pc (16 Sizes) Thick Pre-shaped C-curve for Salon-style Extensions

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

These ready-to-apply tips from Beetles Gel Polish are designed for users who want the look and feel of acrylic extensions without the extra steps of sculpting with builder gel. The set includes 192 short-square tips across 16 sizes (00–14) so you can match every nail, and the pre-etched undersides pair with gel glue for a fast, reliable bond. With a pronounced apex and firmer construction, these tips deliver a substantial, salon-quality profile that holds shape under polish and topcoat.

How do these tips make at-home extensions quicker?

The Beetles Tipex tips are pre-formed with a C-curve and built-in apex, removing the need to sculpt or build volume manually. Application is a simple sequence: prep the natural nail, apply gel glue to the tip, press on the tip, and cure as directed. This streamlined process shortens appointment time significantly compared with full sculpting methods.

• Pre-shaped C-curve and apex for instant volume and contour
• Pre-etched underside for better adhesion with gel glue
• Fits most nail shapes thanks to 16 sizes (00–14)
• Works with standard gel glue or nail adhesive systems

Will these tips feel durable and natural during daily wear?

Unlike ultra-thin flexible tips, Beetles Tipex tips are thicker and firmer, engineered to mimic the strength and weight of acrylic extensions while remaining comfortable. The robust construction helps resist lifting and maintains the apex shape under polish and wear. For longer-lasting results, pair with a compatible base, gel glue, and a quality topcoat.

• Thicker acrylic-style material offers a substantial feel
• Built-in apex keeps extension profile stable over time
• Suitable for glossy gel polish or traditional lacquer finishes
• Can be shaped or filed to refine length and edge

How do I choose the right size and ensure a secure fit?

The set contains 192 tips across 16 sizes, providing multiple tips per size so you can trial-fit and pick the best match for each finger. Start by dry-fitting tips to find the closest width at the natural nail edge, then file or tweak sidewalls if needed for a snug fit. Use the pre-etched underside and recommended gel glue technique to maximize adhesion.

• 16 sizes (00–14) with repeated pieces for each nail
• Dry-fit before adhesive to confirm correct width
• File minor gaps or edges for a precise seam
• Apply gel glue to pre-etched area and press firmly to bond

Can I customize these tips with my preferred finishes?

Yes — Beetles Tipex tips accept most professional nail products, including colored gel polish, builder gels (for overlay if desired), acrylic paint, and topcoats. Their structured apex and smooth surface make them easy to buff, shape, and polish for salon-standard finishes. Always follow product compatibility and curing instructions for the best outcome.

• Compatible with gel polishes, topcoats, and lacquer systems
• Surface sands and files cleanly for custom shaping
• Can be overlaid with builder gel for extra reinforcement
• Designed for glossy, structured salon-style results
