The Tipex Lite design places reinforcement where nails need it — along the apex and free edge — while keeping the cuticle area thinner for a seamless fit. Each set includes 16 sizes (00–14) to match a wide range of nail beds so you can create full-coverage extensions, press-on sets, or a quick gel overlay with cleaner structure and less filing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these tips save time compared to building an apex with gel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the apex is molded into the tip, you skip the multi-step layering and sculpting that builder gels require.
