AILLSA Short Almond Nail Tips 450PCS Upgraded Matte Gel Nails Tips

These are the best tips I've used. They don't squeeze or squish to the nail, they flex just enough and retain their shape when glue is applied. The length is perfect for me, just short enough to be actually usable and long enough to be elegant and easy to paint. They take glue very well, bonding almost instantly. It's important to get them in place fast. But once they're stuck, they really don't want to budge. Luckily, particularly hot water + oil softens them enough to remove without too much force. The texture also makes polish application a breeze! I love the pre-base coat, it seems to work better than normal coats I can use on my natural nails. However, be warned that if you make a mistake and need to use acetone to remove polish from the nail, the base coat with come off, too. It's not a part of the texture of the nail itself, it's a coating that comes off with acetone. (So you *can* remove it if you'd like) Some of the highest quality nails I've ever used!

Ignore the paint finish in the purple color photos - that's not what this review is about anyways. For being short nails in the description, these are pretty long for me. I think cause I have short nail beds. I can say that these nails are the best in the DIY category for ease and longevity. Ive tried polygel and press on nails cause my real nails are weak due to years of acrylic use. Alongside the Aillsa gel glue and UV light, it takes me less than 20 mins to do both hands. I've actually done a friend's nails at a bar while sipping on our drinks. * Finding the right nail size - 2 mins max (the nails are organized by size so finding the right size is easy). I lay them all in the order of placement. * I put a layer of gel glue on both my nail and the nail tips. I let it rest separately for it to get tacky, then I use a clip to hold the nail tip against my nails - 3 mins. Make sure there is no air in between nail and tip. Then put my entire hand under UV light for 2 mins. This means I do each hand in roughly 5 mins. So total 10 mins for both hands. * Then I normally use color street nail strips for the design/paint which takes me about 3-8 mins. I prefer this since it comes out looking so professional with no drying time, more complex designs, and no UV light needed. NOTE: I did get the gel nail polish, which is what I have in the picture and that took me about 5-10 mins for both hands which includes 2 x 2 mins UV light time. I definitely need more practice with gel nail polish. The nails lasted through multiple hand washing, cleaning house, showers, running fingers through my long hair, typing, etc. for about 10 days. It could have probably lasted longer but I lost one nail messing with my zipper hurriedly so I used the opportunity to swap out my entire Christmas design set for these shown in the photo. They're not to hard to remove. I soak them in nail polish remover for about 5 mins then I use a sharp nail file to pry them off my natural nails. These purple ones are my 3rd set put on January 1st. The gold ones are my 1st set put on December 3rd. I used to pay $50-$100 dollars for manicure, acrylic, and gel nails every 2 weeks so this is well worth it.

Overall WORTH IT. At first I wasn’t sure how I felt about them but they do work well. They have a lot of sizing options from kids to adults but the nails are very flat. They worked for me but I used the largest thumb nail as were I normally am two sizes below the largest, so this could be an issue for someone else.

Pretty long but otherwise great!

all my "nail tips" I have ordered are from AILLSA & they all have worked well, my very first set was a box set with everything and the nails were medium almond and they were nice and thick, I loved them so much I ordered many in different sizes and shapes, I have noticed they are less thick then the first set I bought but was fine with it, this last set of nails I purchased was long stiletto, I was so exited to wear them but the width on them are so small, size 0 won't even cover my thumb, and usually size 0 is too big for me, has anyone noticed the long stiletto sizes being super smaller than the other styles?

The nails are a good quality but only work if you already have really short nails beds. My nail beds one on the medium to long side so these were too short to actually cover my full nail and I don't have much nail past my nail bed either. I had to return these and just file down the longer tips I already have

2nd update: I tried a few other brands and none fit my as well with no filing necessary. Although I only use 4 sizes, so a lot goes to waste. But U have small hands and very round cuticle beds and these are the only brand that don't require filing at all except a buff when I put them on. I recently tried another brand and they said medium but we're way narrow and so long that I had to clip them (also almond medium). So I'm bumping these back to 5 stars, but you need a lot of glue to keep them on several weeks. And pressing them for several minutes - after gluing makes all the difference. UPDATE: Not only do they break horizontally, they also chip fairly frequently (not the color, the entire nail). I bought 3 boxes when they were on lightning deal. So I'll be using them awhile, the fit is perfect but the quality isn't. Much more high-maintenance than my previous brand. I cant get through a week without having to reglue or replace one. But like I said, the fit is perfect, no filing required at all for me. And I can go longer or shorter with these. My suggestion is to use a ton of glue. But if it breaks off where the nail bed ends, you will be struggling to get the rest of it off. NOT for large hands. I had previously left a 5 star reviews. I've been wearing these a few months now. Previously only used BTARTBOX but they didn't have this almond shape. These are an absolute perfect fit for my small nails (I wear XS gloves and only one size is too big so large nailed people might want to try something else). I didn't care about the etching, I stil buff my nails good before using. I use the same glue I used with the other brand that last 2-3 weeks. Some of these will pop off after only a few days applied the exact same way. But the part I don't like is that many have broken - not chipped) horizontally, right at the line wear the etching stops. So pretty much the full tip beyond my nail bed. This has happened after only a day of applying, which makes getting the rest of the nail off my nail bed very difficult. I do love the shape though- others I've had to trim down because I type all day but these are the perfect length and look very natural once painted. I used a base coat, the regular non-gel polish followed by Seve Viche quick-dry top coat (you can apply this stuff to wer polish and it dries it all in under a minute. Never have to touch up the polish. I get less wear overall. About 7-10 days and usually have to reapply during that time several times because they popped off. I thought I would hate that they're on a strip and not already loose, but having them on a strip makes choosing the right size easier- just go down the line holding sizes over your nails. I also don't like that they're clear. I've used the "natural" kind from BTARTBOX and they look good without polish m these need to be polished right away. I'd fine 3.5 stars if I could. Love the fit, but not the same quality. Get rid of the etching and they probably would not break off where it ends. Use the pink glue here on Amazon, it last the longest.. NOT kiss glue. I used to be able to wear nails until the cuticle grew out in 2-3 weeks with the same glue. These don't glue on the same even though I use the same process (glue on the nail itself and a good amount on my natural nail). There should be enough so there is excess that squeezes out that you need to wipe off IMMEDIATELY. Then press down hard (pinch) about 20 seconds and you're set. No UV light is required. It dries FAST. Anyway to summarize, great shape but not as long-lasting, break off horizontally if you hit them just right (and you will) and just don't glue on the same. I'll probably go back to BTARTBOX but those are bigger and loose in a box separated by size (which will end up mixed together) and I only use 3 of the 12 sizes. They're bigger than these and require more shaping. NEVER polish before gluing on. Because if you're using enough glue to last a few weeks, excess will get on the polish and you'll have to polish them again. I do keep 5 polished in my purse just in case one pops off when I'm out and I can't find it. Easy fix.

I have bigger thumb sizes but the 0's fit me perfect. So far the gel is sticking well with no drilling and I'm already planning my next buy 😂

Son muy hermosas y de calidad

Bons faux ongles , font bien sur moi

I ordered the medium coffin, application on myself and my daughter was super easy and really comfortable. Nails went on without any air bubbles, and the sizing is really great, I have narrow nail beds and other brands typically don’t fit well. So long as these are durable I will be ordering the medium almond next. **Edit: I ordered almond and added a fifth star. I’m really pleased with this brand.

they’re really nice tbh. if you don’t want them super long, you can easily file them. i find the glue is a little weak, but that may just be me. i think they’re durable to an extent, but if you genuinely want to use them for everyday things, they may fold a bit. all around good though!

The texture to them was nice and helped nail polish stick, however the tips had quite a curve to them making it difficult to hold them in place while curing with uv light
