BTArtbox Extra Short Square Nail Tips - Short Squoval Gel Nail Tips, Natural Fake Nails with Tip Primer Cover, Pre-shaped Upgrade Matte Full Cover Nails for Home DIY Nail Salon

I absolutely love this brand for my press on nails. It is the only brand that I will use. This time I opted for the almond medium and I absolutely love them. They’re easy to apply. They fit my nail beds very well and they are extremely sturdy. The quality of this brand is the best I’ve ever used. They look natural and I can still function as necessary. I’m a mom with four kids, so I’m constantly using my hands and I am very hard on my nails and he always last at least three weeks.

I absolutely love this gel tips. I have been using them for the past year with no issues. My last set lasted 7 weeks and not one nail lifted or broke. If you're looking for durability and quality these are it. Here are a few of the sets I've done on myself.

This is for the glue, only (I didn't get the nails with it). I have done my own nails at home for a year or two at this point, but I wore acrylics and extensions for more than 15 at this point. That is to say, I am a bit of a nail snob now. Usually, I use regular nail glue with half-tip extensions (the kind that you glue on in the middle or upper quarter of your nails). I had accidentally ordered full nail extensions a year ago and just never used them. I decided to try them with this glue. Oh my heckin gawd! First, let me say this was ridiculously easy to apply. I put a dot of the glue on the full extension, bottom center. When I put it on, I slid the nail up and down and side to side a bit, to get the glue all over my natural nail. It took about one single second to do. Once I had that and could see there were no bubbles, I flash-UV'd the nail to set it, cleaned off the excess glue around the edges, and then moved on to my other fingers, doing the same thing. Once I had my 4 main nails done, I cured for just over a minute. I then did my other hand, and then both thumbs. Let me just say, WOW. These suckers are ON there. They don't budge, and the excess glue that I failed to clean off was actually super easy to remove (nail nippers). My nails hurt the rest of the evening, but that was because of the shape of the nails I used. It didn't hurt bad, just that tenderness you get when you put on a new set of acrylics after not wearing them for a week or two. It wasn't the glue's fault, it was just the shaping of the nails. The glue didn't even feel warm under the lamp. I've had them on for a full 24 hours now, and they feel solid. Like, I feel my actual nail would come off before these things would. I have one area that looks like I didn't get glue on that edge (operator error), but other than that, they look remarkable. I will report back how long they lasted once they start to come off (or I decided to switch them out), but as for an initial reaction, I am floored. I've attached two pictures. One is just a view of a few nails. You can see how perfectly flat they lay on my nails. There is some bubbling you can see at the tops of my fingers, that's excess glue I haven't removed yet. The other picture is my thumb nail where I didn't get the glue all the way to the edge. As you can see, there is a visual difference. Knowing this now, I know what to look for when I use this next time.

I am unsure what all the hype is about with this brand. Their fake nails were terrible, cheap, and easily break. In addition to being too long. I tried these "extra short tips". Nothing extra or short about them. They need to be shorter. They are better quality than their press on nails, and easier to paint them while they're attached the plastic piece before you take them off. Short? Nah. Please provide SHORT nails.

Absolutely love this nail glue,my nails have been on for 19 days, and they have not budged, I used beetle and it itches and burns so much I have to take them off, this one itches still but way less then the other one, and not as aggressive, after a couple of minutes nothing, so I will purchase again, please follow the steps to prep, that is the most important for the nails to last. Quality is amazing, size is good, packaging is great. Looks good.

Quality on these is great, they applied easily, love that they are not smooth so glue sticks well. My complaint is that they are not extra short. The measurements they listed are correct but they are quite long. I don't have short nail beds. They are just much longer than I wanted, especially described as 'extra short'.

I bought these because paying for salon nails is so expensive and I wanted to get the same look but with a more affordable option. This pack has lasted me so long! They are pre-filed underneath so they stick well to your real nails (as long as you prime your real nails first). I buff the tops of them and then add gel nail color. They last me about 2 weeks for each set (I think it comes with 10 sets!) Super affordable and well worth it!

I'm new to this hobby, I don't have perfect execution, and prep skills which is why I appreciate that these are pre-prepped. It seriously saves so much time and I don't trust myself to do it right and evenly on my own so I super appreciate this being an option. I will say I'm not soooo new that I don't understand that there are different types of press on nails. I think the reviews that are claiming these are falsely advertised because they are called press-ons without being pre-glued are funny to me. There are different types of press-ons. The term press-on doesn't exclusively refer to pre-glued nails and there's no info in the description that says that they're pre-glued. This is advertised as full "matte" which has to do with them being pre-prepped and etched on both sides meaning there's a little bit of "tooth" to the surface for better adherance to your nails and better adherance of polish. It also says they are "soft gel" nails which means they're made out of a material that is designed to be cured under a UV lamp with a particular gel adhesive. You CAN use glue with them, but they're specifically made for UV application. So they're actually correctly advertised. I didn't do the UV gel method. It's too much for me, I prefer lacquers and I actually get really long wear out of them so I haven't felt the need to switch. I used Fastbond glue recommended my Sally Beauty employees and these things are fantastic. Kudos to them for the rec. These nails feel so strong. I don't have any fear of them popping off. For example I would usually use a butter knife to pop the tab of a soda can instead of risking loosening my nails if I got them done at a salon but with these I just use the nails. I've also been making my own DIY fluid art decals with cheap dollar store nail polish but I use a good base and top coat they haven't been chipping at all. I like that they're thinner at the base of the nail close to the cuticle and get thicker at the tips. They have a more natural look than salon nails while still having a more professionally done look to them. The extra small were perfect for my fairly average length nail beds. I did need to file back my natural nails just a little at the outer corners on a couple. I might try the short almond and coffin ones at some point when I'm feeling fancy but the extra short are perfect for daily wear.
