beetles Gel Polish Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips — Medium Stiletto, 192pcs (16 Sizes) with Built-In Apex & Pre-Etched Underside

Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips are pre-shaped, thicker medium stiletto extensions with a built-in apex that let you create salon-style nails at home without using builder gel.

These ready-to-apply tips from Beetles Gel Polish come in 16 sizes (00–14) and a set of 192 pieces, giving you enough stock for multiple full sets or repetitive touch-ups. Each tip has a pre-etched underside for reliable adhesion with gel glue and a pronounced structured apex that delivers the lifted, acrylic-like silhouette many users prefer. The C-curve profile and firmer material make shaping, filing, and polish application straightforward for DIY and professional use.

How do these tips simplify a DIY nail extension routine?

Beetles Tipex tips are pre-shaped to reduce preparation time: simply prep the natural nail, apply gel glue, align the tip, press, and cure. Their firmer construction resists bending during shaping and provides a stable platform for gel polish or regular nail lacquer.

• Pre-etched underside for stronger glue bond
• C-curve shape minimizes filing and reshaping
• Built-in apex saves time recreating structure
• Ready to fit 16 nail sizes for quick matching

What makes the medium stiletto shape different from thin flexible tips?

These medium stiletto tips are thicker and more substantial than ultra-thin flexible alternatives, producing a solid, acrylic-like feel rather than a flimsy flex. The design maintains the dramatic tapered silhouette of a stiletto while offering durability for shaping and longer wear when applied correctly.

• Thicker material for a firm, acrylic-inspired finish
• Pronounced apex for enhanced lift and dimension
• Suitable for shaping into custom lengths and curves
• Less likely to warp during filing or application

Which products and tools work best with these tips?

Beetles Tipex tips are designed to pair with gel glue or adhesive systems, plus standard manicure tools like files, buffers, and electric drills if needed. You can apply them under a gel polish overlay, builder gel if desired, or paint them with regular lacquer after sealing the join.

• Use gel glue for the pre-etched underside to ensure adhesion
• File and shape with 180–240 grit emery boards or e-files
• Cure only if using a gel adhesive or overlay product
• Finish with top coat for shine and protection

How do I pick the right size and apply for long-lasting wear?

Select the size that most closely matches each natural nail edge; slight filing at the sidewalls helps a snug fit. Proper nail prep—dehydration, pushback of cuticles, and a light buff—combined with firm pressure while the glue sets, gives the best hold and longevity.

• Match by width at the free edge, not the cuticle
• Prep nail surface for adhesion (dehydrate and buff lightly)
• Press firmly for several seconds when placing the tip
• Seal the seam with top coat or gel overlay to protect edges

Who is this for: These Beetles Tipex Instant Apex Nail Tips suit DIY enthusiasts, salon technicians who need a bulk supply, and anyone who wants a bold stiletto look with a firmer, acrylic-like feel without using builder gel. Ideal for people who shape and customize tips, or those who prefer a structured apex and a stable base for gel polish or enhancements.
