beetles Gel Polish Instant Apex Nail Tips — Medium Square, 16 Sizes (00–14) Pre-Built Apex for Builder-Gel-Free Gel Extensions

Beetles Tipex Lite Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped medium-square extensions with a built-in apex so you can get a salon-style gel nail look without using builder gel.

These ready-to-apply nail tips are engineered to simplify DIY gel extensions by combining structure and shape in a single piece. Each tip features a pre-built apex curve and reinforced free edge so finished nails look lifted and polished while maintaining a thinner, more natural fit at the cuticle. The set includes 16 sizes (00–14) to match a wide range of nail beds for easy customization and full coverage.

How do these tips reduce the need for builder gel?

The integrated apex provides the strength and curvature normally created by applying builder gel, so you skip that extra application step. That saves time and reduces product layering while still delivering a durable shape for gel polish overlays.

• Pre-built apex supplies structural height where nails need it most
• Reinforced free edge resists flex and chipping
• Thinner cuticle area offers a closer, less bulky fit
• Designed to be used with regular nail glue or gel adhesive

Will these fit different nail shapes and sizes?

The kit contains 16 distinct sizes, from 00 to 14, so you can mix and match to suit each finger, including thumbs and narrow or wide nail beds. The full-coverage design covers the entire nail plate for a smooth, consistent finish that takes polish and gel overlays well.

• 16 sizes improve chances of finding an ideal match for each finger
• Full-coverage design hides irregularities on the natural nail
• Medium-square shape offers a balanced, modern silhouette
• Trim and file to fine-tune length and sidewalls before application

What tools and steps are recommended for best results?

Prep and application still matter: lightly buff and dehydrate the natural nail, select the correct size, and adhere the tip with nail glue or gel adhesive. After bonding, file and blend the seam if desired, then apply gel polish or top coat and cure per product instructions.

• Prep: gently push cuticles, buff, and clean nails with alcohol
• Adhere: use nail glue or gel adhesive and hold steady until set
• Finish: shape, apply gel polish or builder-free overlay, and cure
• Removal: soak or use proper removal technique—avoid peeling to protect natural nails

How do these tips look and feel compared to standard press-ons?

Because of the engineered apex and reinforced edge, these tips feel more rigid and salon-like without appearing thick at the cuticle. The medium-square profile provides a contemporary, manageable length and shape that photographs and wears like a professional extension.

• Structured curve mimics the lift of a salon gel extension
• Less bulky at the cuticle creates a more natural transition
• Durable free edge reduces early breakage and creates cleaner lines
• Ready for nail art, gel polish, or a glossy top coat finish
