beetles Gel Polish Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips XS Square 192pcs — Pre-shaped C-curve, Pre-etched for Gel Glue

Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped, thicker XS square extensions with a built-in apex that create salon-style acrylic-looking nails at home without builder gel.

These Beetles Gel Polish Tipex tips are designed for users who want firm, structured extensions that hold shape and shine like salon acrylics but apply quickly using gel glue. Each kit includes 192 pre-etched tips across 16 sizes (00–14), so you can match every nail and refill multiple sets. The C-curve and raised apex reduce filing time and give a natural strength point where the free edge meets the nail, while the thicker profile keeps the feel substantial rather than flimsy.

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

The tips arrive with a molded apex and C-curve that mimic the lift and strength normally built with acrylic or builder gel. Because the underside is pre-etched, gel glue bonds quickly and reliably, letting the molded apex remain the main support point. Finish with your favorite gel polish or topcoat to blend the seam and add gloss.

• Built-in raised apex offers instant structural strength.
• Pre-etched underside improves adhesion to gel glue.
• Apply, press, and cure—no sculpting or builder gel required.
• Works with standard LED/UV topcoats for a glossy finish.

Which sizes and counts are included, and how do I match them?

The pack contains 192 tips across 16 sizes (00–14), giving multiple repeats of each size so you can tailor sets for different nail widths. XS square describes the narrow, squared shape perfect for slim nail beds or a sharp, modern look. Test-fit before gluing: choose the closest size, then file edges slightly for a seamless fit.

• 16 sizes cover a wide range of nail widths for better matching.
• 192 tips supply several full sets plus spares for breaks or practice.
• Pre-shaped square free edge offers a crisp, contemporary silhouette.
• Fine filing of edges helps achieve a flush, natural seam.

How quick and simple is application for home use?

Application is intended to be straightforward: prep the natural nail, select the correct tip, apply a thin layer of gel glue, press the tip onto the nail bed, then cure as directed. The pre-shaped curve and apex reduce the amount of filing and reshaping required, making the process faster than building acrylic tips from scratch.

• Prep (clean, buff, dehydrate) for best adhesion.
• Use gel glue designed for nail tips for a quick bond and curing.
• Minimal filing needed thanks to the molded curve and apex.
• Compatible with gel polishes, builder-free manicures, and topcoats.

What finish options and maintenance should I expect?

These tips accept gel polish, regular polish, and topcoats, so you can create glossy or matte looks. Because the tips are thicker and firmer, they handle shaping and light buffing well; however, treat edges gently and avoid aggressive files to maintain the apex. For long wear, follow proper prep and curing steps and keep nails moisturized around the cuticle.

• Compatible with gel and traditional polish systems.
• Thicker material allows controlled filing and shaping.
• Edge maintenance preserves the apex and reduces lifting.
• Replace or rebond individual tips if damage occurs—no full rebuild needed.
