beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips — XS Square 192pcs, pre-etched no-builder-gel acrylic-style

These Beetles tips are designed to give you a strong, structured extension that mimics a salon acrylic apex while staying simple enough for at-home application. Each tip features a pronounced C-curve and a pre-etched underside so you can attach with gel glue and cure—no separate builder gel required. The set includes 192 pieces across 16 sizes (00–14), providing multiple full sets and spares for refits.

How do these tips create a salon-style apex without builder gel?

The tips come with a factory-formed apex and thicker construction that reproduces the three-dimensional volume typically built with acrylic or builder gel. Because the underside is pre-etched and the tip has a pronounced curve, gel glue bonds securely and retains shape after curing.

• Factory-built apex offers instant volume and peak without sculpting.
• Thicker acrylic-style material holds a structured look under polish.
• Pre-etched underside increases adhesion for glue-and-cure workflows.

What is the fit and finish like for everyday wear?

These square XS tips are firmer than ultra-thin alternatives, providing a substantial feel similar to acrylic extensions. Their durable build helps resist flex and edge chipping, and the square shape gives a modern, bold silhouette that polishes smoothly.

• 16 sizes (00–14) included to match natural nail beds more precisely.
• Pre-shaped C-curve reduces filing time and evens pressure across the nail.
• Works with gel polish, regular polish, or enhancements once applied.

How easy are these tips to apply for a DIY or salon tech?

Application is straightforward: prep the natural nail, select the best-fitting tip, apply thin gel glue to the pre-etched underside, press into place, and cure. The tips’ thicker profile and pre-curve minimize reshaping time, so both beginners and pros can complete a set faster than sculpting from scratch.

• Simple four-step routine: prep, glue, press, cure.
• Pre-etched underside prevents lifting and speeds adhesion.
• Large quantity (192) supplies multiple full sets and practice runs.

Can I customize the shape or length after applying these tips?

Yes—after attachment and curing, you can file, buff, and shape the tips to refine length and edge style. Their thicker construction allows for shaping without quickly thinning the tip, making them suitable for creating tapered, squoval, or more dramatic square finishes.

• Files and sands cleanly for custom length and edge shaping.
• Holds structure well for additional overlays or polish layers.
• Plenty of extras in the pack for practice or varied nail styles.
