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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these tips deliver a salon-style apex without builder gel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt-in raised apex offers instant structural strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePre-etched underside improves adhesion to gel glue.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApply, press, and cure—no sculpting or builder gel required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with standard LED\/UV topcoats for a glossy finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich sizes and counts are included, and how do I match them?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.

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.
