UNA GELLA Almond Nail Tips, 312PCS Half Cover Almond Shape Nail Tips Soft Gel Tips 12 Sizes Pre-shape Acrylic Clear False Nails with Handles for Press on Nails Extension DIY Home Salon

I've never used these before. I've either used press-ons that come with their stickies or glue, or have done my own with acrylic (with or without tips). I'm always grateful for stick-ons because they do not destroy my nails. These were great option though I wish they weren't stiletto- I just couldn't find the shape I wanted so these had to do.I have to say these were the most fun and easiest nails to paint! And I am shocked at how well the Polish has stayed on! The Polish I used is probably a decade old... No fancy expensive brand either. The nails look just as good today as they did the day I painted them which was 2 weeks ago. I did two coats of robin's egg blue, a top coat, and quick dry on top. I did them while watching TV and it was so easy!The only problem I have (obviously the shape) is the stickies I used (which did not come with this product so it's no fault of this product). Find a really good quality sticky if you can (or if you are a nail glue user), you'll love them.(They say in the description that they are not curved but they are very curved on the bed of the nail, but that worked really great for me! I think they actually adhere better.)I look forward to painting them again or putting on a whole new set! (I have not contemplated removing the nail polish but I wonder if I could! They seem durable enough.)I found these nails to be quite strong even though I have to take them off often because the stickies are not good so I have to keep replacing that. They haven't torn, bent, chipped or broken! That's truly shocking!I do wear rubber gloves to do the dishes but that's only because of the stickies I'm using. Whether or not that is helping the durability and the polish to stay on I don't know... But just wanted to mention it.They were definitely worth the money.

Although I wouldn’t consider these as “short length”, I found them easy to work with. I love that they are really sturdy and flat. Definitely will repurchase in the future. I also purchased the nail glue and it seems like it will hold up well.

I have been doing my own gel-x nails for over a year and I recently switched from a very popular brand because it no longer seemed to be lasting to this one and 10/10 this one last so good even with Tpex nails that are thicker my nails stay on for a month. Easy to apply dries well and no harsh smell

Good quality tips. The length is good. They work well and are strong.

When I took these out I noticed that they seemed much more flexible than the ones I have previously used which made me concerned that they would break easily but they surprised me, they are strong and I have had zero problem with breakage. Note, I do use dip powder which does strengthen finished nails. I always use Nailene Ultra Quick nail glue which is a 10/10 for holding tips on, I have never had them pop off. The only reason I took off a star is that the nail sizes are very tiny. There are enough sizes that by choosing the 5 largest sizes I can fit them on my nails but the 5 smallest ones seem to be made for a child's hands.

The media could not be loaded. I had other nails that were very long and rectangle shaped, which created a lot of extra work to cut and file if I wanted to use them. I got the “pointed almond” which just looks like long almond. They are a bit longer than I would like, def more than a medium length for most people.I like they stick straight out from your finger. Ones that curve down in the tip tend to get in my way, and break or pop off more easily. I wish they weren’t clear since that affects the look of lighter polish when the tip is clear but your nailbed isn’t, but these were the shortest I could find that still looked almond.I drilled the surface lightly after they were glued on, but I need to drill it more next time bc the dip polish was resistant to sticking. I normally also drill the inside to help glue it down, but I tried it with just their pre-etching to see how it works. I can normally get 2.5-3 weeks adhesion with cheap nail glue, so I’ll know if these come off faster.The nails did look super narrow and arched when I 1st got them, but I realized I was comparing to my nails that already had other nails over them. With naked nails, these are a great fit for my nail beds. I don’t think I have narrow nail beds, but they definitely aren’t wide. I could almost use the smallest size, but felt it was too arched. If 1 seems too arched, going up to the next size fixed the problem for me. I don’t think they look overly arched once glued down. I use all the small sizes except the very last.Compared to dip on my natural nails, they are a little thicker, but I think being narrow helps them look less clunky or oversized. I did have to do an extra coat with this dip to get the color really solid, which added to the bulk.

This glue is very strong. You cannot take it off without their remover which makes you have to buy it in order to even take them off. I soaked in acetone for over an hour, and I had to pry the nails off. The glue is very good very strong, but terrible to take takeoff.

These work great ! Easy to apply, no filing required ! My daughters love to use these and so much cheaper and durable than salon nails !
