Edit: After a couple of days wear, they began to split, crack and snap off. Not the quality I had hoped for. Perhaps a couple layers of builder gel or hard gel on top would prevent this but I doubt it. Wont be purchasing again and would not recommend if wanting nails to last longer than a weekend, at best.I bought these nails as an alternative to a different resin brand which are really expensive and high quality. These were a fraction of the price but quality is matched!I use gel nail glue to set them and have painted them with gels. They are strong, a good length and are comfortable.The only downside is the number of nails in the set. You only get enough nails to do 4 sets (8 of each size) and there are several sizes that go to waste as theyre 'in-between' sizes. But this is typical for at home nail sets. It is just a shame there's no option to order specific sizes to avoid wastage!Defibitely worth the money, though. I would recommend them to anyone that wants at salon-standard manicure done at home.

I have tried many gel tips from multiple brands such as Mylee, Apres, Halo, Pretty Pro. All of them have left me underwhelmed. They tips either needed a lot of time consuming and fiddly prep or the length is too long and needs filing down.These tips in XXS are the absolute perfect length if you like short nails. I have finally found the perfect size that don’t need filing or reshaping. They are already prepped to improve adhesion. They are also thin, and flexible and fit flush to the nail bed. I apply gel polish over the top of mine which makes them stronger.I have had them on for over a week and I’ve pushed them hard and they are still going strong.If you are find they are popping off easy then you are either using the incorrect size or you aren’t prepping your nails properly. I use the pH bond from Gelish along with their tip adhesive and tip primer. If you don’t choose the right products, size or prep properly they will pop off and that will happen with any gel tips.These tips are durable , comfortable, look amazing and are fantastic value for money.

These tips were easy to work with and very thin near the cuticle edge which is exactly what I wanted as it makes it easier to blend into the cuticle and you don't have a sharp plastic edge digging in which is what I have had in the past. I'm really impressed with how they look, it looks like I went to a salon. They were easy to size and apply too. The only thing is I got the short square and they're def not short, these are long for me, so I'm glad I got these and not the mediums, so just keep that in mind if you're buying! I could've filed them down but I couldn't be bothered tbh - but it would be easy enough to do. I applied them with the 6 in 1 gel glue they recommend and they've lasted really well so far! No more expensive salon trips for me!

Haven't tested the longevity yet, but tbh this is all down to correct prep and application not the nails themselves.They are a true gel nail, I've tested durability and so much better than the plastic kind of press ons. Nail sizing is good and the length is OK, it's not totally short but I guess that's why some brands now make extra short / extra extra short. Will be using this brand again!

Much longer than stated. Easily filed though. They didn't stay stuck for longer than a week. Just going to stick to my own nails (as brittle as they are ha)

Easy to use and strong

I recently tried these nails for the first time and I'm pleased with my purchase. They're a great fit for my short nails, although I do feel they require some trimming since they're a bit too long for my liking. Despite this, I'm impressed with the quality and look forward to buying them again.

So far I’m impressed. It’s only taken me an hour to do a full set from start to finish which I consider to be pretty good. I prepped my nails by filing, buffing, pushing cuticles back then cleansing them with nail cleanser. I then did one nail at a time, applying the glue to my nail then directly inside the nail tip. What I found not entirely clear from the instructions is that you must press the nail down as the nail is curing. It’s therefore best if you do one nail at a time. I only pressed each nail down for around 5 seconds and let each nail cure for 30 seconds. After this I then cut them to size and filed them down. I purchased the medium almond size and find these work well with my nail bed shape although out of the whole box, I probably used only 4 different sizes.I applied builder gel once they were glued but I don’t think it is required. I then applied base coat followed by two coats of gel polish and top coat followed by nail oil.So far they feel very sturdy and I’m pleased with the quality. They are quicker and easier than using gel or acrylic, I think. Because they are full sized tips you don’t have to worry about trying to bridge the gap between the acrylic tip and the rest of your nail. I always found this tricky and don’t use electric nail files so these are perfect if you use a handheld nail file only. The smell isn’t as unpleasant as acrylic and I think they would be easier to soak off.I only give these four stars for now because time will tell how long these will last but I’m pleased with the results and can see me using these on a regular basis.
