beetles Gel Polish Tipex Lite Instant Apex Nail Tips — Medium Coffin, 16 Sizes, Pre-built Apex

How do these tips replace the builder gel step?

The Tipex Lite tips incorporate a pre-molded apex ridge that provides the lift and strength usually achieved with builder gel. That means fewer layering steps after tip placement; you can move faster to gel color, encapsulation, or nail art.

• Pre-built curvature mimics a salon apex for structure and longevity.
• Thinner cuticle area reduces bulk and improves adhesion.
• Reinforced free edge resists lift and chipping under light wear.

Will these medium coffin tips fit my nail shape and size?

The set includes 16 sizes (00–14) to cover a wide range of natural nail widths, letting you mix and match sizes for thumbs and fingers. Full-cover sizing and the tapered coffin silhouette offer a smooth, seamless look once glued and finished.

• 16 sizes allow pairing for each finger to improve fit.
• Full-coverage style simplifies edge blending and filing.
• Medium coffin profile suits most nail lengths and shapes.

How do I apply and remove these tips safely at home?

Prep your natural nails by gently pushing cuticles back and buffing the surface for better adhesion. Use a quality nail glue or gel adhesive to attach the tip, file to blend the seam where needed, then cure any gel overlays per product instructions; remove by soaking or softening adhesives rather than forcing tips off.

• Clean and lightly buff natural nails before application.
• Apply thin glue bead at the well, press and hold for best bond.
• Remove with recommended solvent or soak-off method to protect natural nails.

What finishes and techniques work best with these tips?

Tipex Lite tips accept acrylics, hard gels, builder gels, gel polish, and nail art—making them versatile for salon-style finishes. Their pre-shaped apex shortens prep time for common techniques like ombré, encapsulation, and pressed-on nail sets.

• Use gel polish or color gels directly after blending the seam.
• Encapsulate glitter or decorations over the apex for dimension.
• Press-on nail makers can customize length and shape with a file and topcoat.
