beetles Gel Polish Gel Nail Kit Etch-X — 288 Medium Almond Tips, 3 HEMA-Free Gels (Base, Top, Glue)

Beetles Gel Nail Kit Etch-X is an at-home press-on and extension system that includes 288 medium almond pre-shaped tips in 12 sizes plus three 15ml HEMA-free gels (base, no-wipe top coat, and glue) for long-lasting, salon-style nails.

This kit is designed to speed up nail application without heavy filing or thinning of the natural nail. The pre-shaped almond tips are semi-matte inside for better grip, while the HEMA-free base, top coat, and medium-thick glue focus on durability and gentleness for those who prefer sensitive-skin-friendly formulas. Everything in the set aims to give you a polished extension look—press-on or enhanced with gel—while keeping the routine simple and repeatable at home.

How do these almond tips save time during application?

The Beetles medium almond tips come pre-shaped and pre-filed so you skip a lot of the shaping steps that traditional tips require. Their inner half matte texture increases adhesion to glue, reducing the need to sand or roughen your natural nail surface.

• 288 tips across 12 sizes for quick size-matching.
• Pre-filed thinner edges for a seamless fit.
• Inner matte finish improves grip without extra filing.
• Eliminates routine thinning of natural nails from heavy buffing.

What makes the gels in this set suitable for sensitive skin?

All three gel liquids included—base coat, no-wipe top coat, and nail glue—are formulated without HEMA, a common sensitizing ingredient. That reduces the risk of irritation for people with sensitive nails or skin while still providing reliable adhesion and shine.

• HEMA-free base and top coat to limit potential irritants.
• Base coat acts as a protective barrier between natural nail and color or tip.
• No-wipe top coat gives a mirror finish without additional cleaning steps.
• Glue’s medium-thick consistency prevents over-application near cuticles.

How long will these press-ons or extensions hold up?

When applied correctly, the combination of pre-shaped tips and medium-thick HEMA-free glue offers multi-week wear. The no-wipe top coat locks in the finish, helping resist chips and maintain glossy color for extended periods.

• Glue formulated for a strong bond and longer retention.
• Top coat provides durable, mirror-like finish up to several weeks.
• Pre-shaped edges reduce lifting by matching the natural nail profile.
• Proper prep (clean, dehydrate, and glue) maximizes wear time.

Can these tips be used with acrylics or painted for custom looks?

Yes—the transparent medium almond tips are compatible with acrylic overlays and gel color, or can be painted after application. Their thinner free edge helps create a natural-looking extension that can be blended with acrylic, builder gel, or polish for customized finishes.

• Clear tips work under acrylic, builder gel, or polish.
• Thin edges blend smoothly with overlays to avoid bulky seams.
• Pre-shaped form reduces sculpting time when combining systems.
• Suitable for both press-on wear and builder gel enhancement.

It’s ideal for people seeking a large variety of sizes, a gentler HEMA-free gel trio for sensitive nails, and a reliable glue that balances control with long-lasting hold. Whether you prefer quick press-on looks, custom painted tips, or combining tips with acrylic or builder gel, this kit provides the components and pre-shaped nails to streamline the process at home.
