Pre-Buffed Soft Gel Nail Tips, 600 Pieces, Full Cover in 5 Shapes
Soft gel tips are the fastest route to a full set of extensions: you size a tip to each nail, bond it with gel, cure it and shape it. This box holds 600 tips in one shape and one length, so a single purchase covers dozens of full sets for yourself, friends or clients.
The tips are full cover, which means the whole nail surface is a tip rather than a small tip tab. They have a pre-buffed, half-matte contact area that gives gel something to grip, and a thicker zone at the cuticle line so that the edge blends without a visible ridge.
What is in each box
The photos show the width and length in millimeters of every size in each shape. Gel, a lamp, nail glue and tools are not included.
- 600 clear soft gel tips of one shape and one length.
- Most boxes hold 12 sizes with 50 tips per size. The medium almond, coffin and oval boxes hold 10 sizes, with some sizes doubled.
- Sizes are numbered on the tips so that you can match a tip to each nail quickly.
Shapes and lengths
- Coffin and square: a flat free edge. Coffin tapers toward the tip, square keeps parallel sides.
- Almond and oval: rounded outlines that suit soft, natural-looking sets.
- Stiletto: a pointed tip for dramatic length. The half-cover stiletto has a smaller contact area that stops short of the cuticle.
- Extra short, medium and long describe the box. The size chart in the photo of each shape lists the exact millimeter lengths.
How to apply
- Prep the natural nail and choose the numbered tip that fits the width of the nail from sidewall to sidewall.
- Apply a thin layer of gel or tip gel to the frosted contact area and press the tip on from the cuticle toward the free edge.
- Cure it, then shape the free edge with a file if needed.
- Apply color and top coat as usual.
Who it is for
- Beginners: numbered sizes and a pre-buffed surface take the guesswork out of fitting.
- Hobbyists: a box of one shape lasts for many sets and makes practice cheap.
- Nail artists: 600 tips per box suits regular clients and lets you keep shapes in stock.
Good to know
Pick one shape and length per box. If you work with several shapes, choose the ones you use most. The tips are made of PMMA plastic. Follow the instructions of the gel or adhesive you apply them with, including curing and removal, and do not pull tips off the nail.
