beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips — Medium Stiletto 192pcs (16 Sizes 00–14), pre-formed apex & pre-etched undersides

Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped, medium stiletto false nails with a built-in apex for strong, salon-style extensions—192 tips across 16 sizes for quick at-home application.

If you want a ready-made salon finish without sculpting an apex yourself, these Beetles tips give you a structured, substantial extension that mimics acrylic strength while being faster to apply. Each tip features a pronounced, pre-formed arch and a C-curve that aligns with natural nails, reducing the time spent shaping and building. They arrive pre-etched underneath for better adhesion with gel glue and are sized to fit most nail beds, making them a practical option whether you’re a nail tech or doing DIY manicures.

How do these tips speed up the nail extension process?

Because the apex and shape are already formed, you bypass the sculpting step and move straight to bonding, shaping, and finishing. That reduces time in both application and filing while delivering a consistent, repeatable profile across fingers.

• Pre-built apex eliminates manual apex sculpting.
• C-curve and medium stiletto shape ready out of the box.
• Pre-etched undersides improve gel glue grip.
• 192 pieces cover many sets and practice sessions.

Will these tips hold up for a firm, acrylic-like feel?

Yes—these tips are thicker and stiffer than ultra-flexible tips, designed to deliver a bold, substantial sensation similar to acrylic extensions. They provide a rigid platform for overlays, polish, and nail art without flexing excessively under normal wear.

• Thicker gauge for a robust, durable feel.
• Structured apex supports overlays and polish.
• Reduced flex helps prevent lifting when applied correctly.

How do I choose the right size and get a secure fit?

The kit contains 16 sizes (00–14) so you can match each natural nail precisely for minimal filing and better adhesion. Match the tip to your nail by selecting the size that covers the natural nail without overlapping onto the skin; fine-tune with light filing at the sidewalls and cuticle area before gluing.

• 16 sizes accommodate narrow to wide nail beds.
• Pick the closest size, then file sidewalls for a custom fit.
• Use gel glue on the pre-etched underside and press firmly to secure.

What finishes and techniques work best with these tips?

These tips are compatible with common salon techniques: gel polish, builder gels, acrylic overlays, and nail art. Their built-in apex and C-curve create a smooth base for glossy finishes and allow for creative shaping or extension blending without losing structure.

• Apply base gel or thin layer of builder gel for overlays.
• Finish with gel polish or acrylic for durable color.
• File and shape after curing to refine the stiletto point or shorten length.

Who is this for? These Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips suit anyone who prefers a bold, salon-inspired extension without sculpting an apex from scratch—ideal for busy nail artists, beauty students, and DIY mani enthusiasts wanting consistent, durable results. They’re especially useful if you like a medium stiletto silhouette with a strong foundation for overlays and detailed nail art. If you need flexible, ultra-thin tips, these heavier, structured tips may feel firmer than expected; choose them when you want substance and a ready-made apex.
