beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips - XS Square 256pc Value Pack, Pre-shaped No-Builder-Gel Extensions

Beetles Tipex Lite Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped, salon-style extension tips with a built-in apex so you can achieve structured gel-look nails without adding builder gel.

These Beetles Tipex Lite tips come in a 256-piece value pack and are engineered to simplify at-home or salon-style gel extensions. Each tip features a reinforced apex and a thinner cuticle edge for a natural profile, while the full-cover design and 16 sizes (00–14) help you match a broader range of nail beds. They’re made for DIY use—press-on creation, glue-on extensions, or custom nail-art bases—and eliminate an extra builder-gel layering step for faster application.

How do these tips create a salon-quality apex without builder gel?

The Beetles Tipex Lite tips are molded with a pre-built curve that mimics the lift and support usually achieved with builder gel. That structural apex provides depth and strength along the free edge while keeping the base slim for a seamless look.

• Pre-formed apex eliminates an extra building step
• Reinforced free edge for durability and fewer breaks
• Thin cuticle area for better blending and natural appearance

Which sizes and quantities are included, and how do I pick the right size?

This set contains 256 tips across 16 sizes (00–14), giving multiple pieces per size so you can fit every finger and replace tips over time. Try sizes across adjacent numbers to find the best contour and file edges slightly if needed for a perfect fit.

• 16 sizes cover narrow to wide nail beds, including thumbs
• Multiple pieces per size for practice and replacements
• Full-cover shape simplifies gluing and blending

What application steps give the best, long-lasting results?

Prep the natural nail by cleaning, dehydrating, and lightly buffing the surface before applying nail glue or gel adhesive. Press the tip into place, ensure no air pockets, and cure according to the adhesive type; finish by blending the seam and adding polish or topcoat.

• Clean and lightly buff natural nails for adhesion
• Use compatible nail glue or gel adhesive and press firmly
• File and blend the seam, then shape before polish and cure

Are these tips suitable for DIY nail art, press-ons, or salon use?

Yes—Beetles Tipex Lite tips are versatile for DIY sets, press-on production, and professionals seeking a quick extension base. Their instant apex reduces time spent layering builder gel, making them efficient for creative nail art and quick client turnarounds.

• Great base for nail art, gel polish, and sculpted finishes
• Designed to be trimmed, shaped, or decorated as desired
• Pack size supports multiple sets or salon clients
