Product details

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

These Beetles tips are made for DIYers and nail techs who want a sturdy, structured extension quickly: each tray contains 192 tips in 16 sizes (00–14) with a reinforced C-curve and pre-built apex. The firmer construction minimizes bending and helps retain shape under daily wear when you prep and apply them correctly with gel glue and a compatible lamp.

How do these tips simplify the at-home extension process?

The pre-built apex and pronounced C-curve cut down on manual sculpting, so you spend less time layering builder products. You only need to size, prep nails, apply gel glue, press the tip on, and cure to achieve a polished extension. This streamlines routines for beginners and speeds up salon services.

  • Built-in apex reduces sculpting steps
  • Pre-etched underside improves glue adhesion
  • 16 size options help match nail beds accurately
  • Compatible with standard gel glue and LED/UV curing

Will these tips hold up for everyday activities?

Designed with a thicker profile and firmer material than ultra-flex tips, Beetles Tipex tips are aimed at users who want a strong, acrylic-like feel. When properly sized, glued, and cured, they resist bending and cracking better than thin tips. Longevity depends on correct prep, application, and aftercare.

  • Thicker construction for added strength
  • Reinforced C-curve maintains shape under pressure
  • Pre-etched base reduces lift when glued correctly
  • Not intended for users who prefer flexible, ultra-thin tips

How do I pick the right size and finish for a natural look?

The set contains 16 size increments to fit most nail beds; test sizes on each finger before trimming or blending. Short coffin shape can be filed or shortened for a custom silhouette, and the thicker walls accept gel polish, lacquer, or builder overlays for a finished salon look.

  • Try sizes on dry nails to find the best fit
  • File sidewalls and free edge for a seamless seam
  • Top with gel polish or builder for extra strength
  • Trim length carefully to preserve the C-curve and apex

What application steps give the most reliable adhesion?

Good adhesion starts with clean, dehydrated natural nails and lightly buffed contact areas. Apply a thin bead of gel glue, align the tip at the cuticle line, press firmly to remove air pockets, and cure fully. Follow by sealing the edge with top coat or builder layer for longer wear.

  • Clean and dehydrate nail plate before application
  • Lightly buff the contact area for mechanical grip
  • Use gel glue and cure under recommended lamp
  • Seal the seam and free edge with top coat or builder

Who is this for? These Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Short Coffin Nail Tips suit DIY enthusiasts and professionals who prefer a strong, acrylic-like extension without sculpting with builder gel. They’re ideal for clients or users who like short coffin shapes, want multiple size options for precise fits, and value a pre-formed apex to speed application. If you prefer very thin or highly flexible tips, consider alternative slim-profile styles instead.
