BTArtbox XCOATTIPS Nude Press On Nails, Extra Short Almond, 160 Pcs

These truly look like your natural nails if you prep correctly. I love them for exactly that reason. They’re also very easy to put on and the perfect length to still look elegant but not get in your way. If you prep right, you can have these bad boys last A LONG time. Edited to add a photo of the pinker nails!! Oh my godddd I’m OBSESSED with these nails. I will never ever buy another again for the natural look. They’re so easy to put on and truly look so natural

I absolutely love these! The color is exactly what I hoped for. I ordered the pale pink in the “length” and think they’re gorgeous. I would probably do extra short next time if I wanted them to truly feel short, but that’s typical with any press ons. I like these the most because they come so neatly on a little tray with the size, and since there’s 5 sets you can easily see for next time you do it which nails fit without even needing to write it down and keep track of your size. Amazing price, and I use with the “curvlife semi solid glue” and they last almost two weeks. I put gel top coat over them and put them under gel lamp. Perfection!!!

The nails are good quality. Lots of sizes to choose from, so I had no trouble with my smaller nail beds. If you have flat nail bed, I’d recommend a solid gel UV nail glue as I have used a thinner gel nail glue and have bubbles. They adhered well. The nails were a breeze to decorate before putting on using little nail stands. I sealed after putting on my fingers with a clear builder gel then topcoat.

❗️Edited after wear test: I changed my review from 5 stars to 4 stars. These nails stayed on really well, but I struggled with the top coat because it began to peel off around the edges of the nail after 6-7 days. I think it was an error in my application and I didn’t seal the edges with the gel top coat properly. I still haven’t used the gel nail glue yet because it makes me nervous and I don’t want to use an electric nail file to get the glue off. I use the Beauty Secrets nail glue and I swear I think these nails could survive a nuclear war. I don’t mind the top coat peeling because it’s an easy fix. These nails save me money and still look good for a long time. I usually get bored and soak the nails off before they’re actually ready to come off naturally. Original post: These nails are absolutely worth the money. You need to have the builder gel and top coat kit with the UV lamp, but I use my own nail glue to stick these on. I ordered the XS size and these nails are quite small but perfect for my finger size. I didn’t cut the length down at all. I type for work all day and these are the perfect length in my opinion. You may have a harder time with these if your nail beds are larger. Be sure to pay attention to the size when you’re buying these. The nails are thin but that is why you’ll need the builder gel kit, it turns them into acrylic type thickness so they are sturdier. Apply these nails like you usually would prep to apply any press on nail (I haven’t used the BTArtbox gel glue yet). The nails are a gorgeous sheer pink once you apply the builder gel and top coat. This was my first time ever using builder gel and I just applied it like regular nail polish and the cured it per the directions. A little bit of builder gel goes a long way so be careful not to glop it on and ❗️DO NOT CURE THE BUILDER GEL ONTO YOUR SKIN❗️, you risk developing a gel allergy if you do that. I use rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad to wipe of excess gel. The builder gel finishes a bit sticky out of the lamp, but after you wipe the top coat on and then cure it completely, the stickiness is gone. These nails come with enough for 4 sets. Since this is my first time using these nails I will update later with the wear test lengths. So far very good quality, very user friendly and WAAAAY cheaper than the salon, even if you buy the builder gel kit.

These are my favorite! I recently have been doing press on nail kits but was tired of not finding shades I wanted. I got these nails to paint with my nail polish shades and glue on. The shape is good for me and I don’t have to file them down. I have small hands, small fingers, small nail beds. Literally use the smallest size in a nail kit or will not even be able to find a nail that fits my pinkie. But these nails fit and they don’t bother my cuticles. I have been using a Sally’s nail glue and they last a week which is fine now bc I get tired of my nails after so long. I did use white nail polish over the nails for certain nail polish shades but I do see the appeal now of getting these and just doing like a jelly nail bc that would be cute. I’m not sure about uv nail / gel products with these so I can’t comment on that. But I will be buying more of these in the future. I like the XX short and they remind me of like a chillhouse mail or olive and June nail. I do want to try gel/uv stuff in the future with these but for now I’m happy breaking out my nail polish shades agains. I tried to post pics of the shades I used and stuff just to test the waters. I have a burgundy that looks fine on normal nails but with these it looks too brown. -green nail photo: lights lacquer/KL polish shade mojito - 3 coats went on perfectly over a 2 layer white base coat with 2 clear topcoats- 1 before placement and 1 after. No white base was used on the other nails in the other pics - nails attached to stems still. Let’s just say I like them so much I found the company website and found even more to get. I’m so excited lol They are sturdier then drug store nails I’ve gotten.

100% WORTH A TRY! I am now obsessed with this entire line. I am so impressed that I'm going to go this route which not only saves money, but time! This was my first time using QUALITY press-on nails after years of paying $$$$ for dip nails at the salon. I purchased the multi pack of nails (along with a nail dehydrator and the BTArt XCoatTips kit and nail glue)because I was going on vacation and had a packed work schedule with long hours the entire week before the trip, so it didn't give me any time to get to the salon. I purchased the multipack thinking I would need to do them several times while on vacation to get me through until I could go back to my dip nails when I returned...because drug store brands I had done in the past only lasted a day or two. LET ME TELL YOU!!! ONE set lasted me 3 WEEKS and only removed them because they were grown out and few lifted a little bit along the top to where my hair would catch a little. The nails are thin but strong. I had so many compliments on them and I have told all of my close girlfriends how impressed I am. I am incredibly hard on nails because I run a construction business and constantly either doing a single dip myself (which always looked TERRIBLE) or at the salon for a cracked nail replacement. It took roughly 45 mins for me to prep the cuticles/nails and apply everything else. Here are the steps I took. Prep -cleaned the cuticle really well around the entire nail. -used a medium course foam file block across the entire nail making sure to get along the edges really well -scrubbed the nails well with dish soap (probably over kill, but I have oily nails and do this on my toes before polish for max adhesion) -wiped with rubbing alcohol -applied nail dehydrator Nails -I did one nail at time going back and forth between my right and left for each nail, I wanted my pointer and thumb fingers to be last. With the xcoattip uv glue on both my nail and press on nail - when you press the nail on make sure to go at the 45 degree angle per the instructions so there are no air bubbles and hold it down firmly so it's tight when you flash cure it. After all the nails are done I cured them for another 2 mins just to be safe. -filed nail tip to shape the little connector tab off. -applied and cured xcoattip primer, cured -applied one coat of UV polish to give a little more dimension to the nail (personal preference) cured -applied xcoattips top coat, cured -I am not the best at polishing, so cleaned up the polish the best I could around the nailbed before curing, but did end up also filing around the nail between coats.

I love these nails. They’re my new favorite thing and the perfect solution for me. I’ve tried pretty much all ways of doing my nails - acrylic, poly gel, regular press ons, and now these gel press ons. I love press ons, but the issue with the regular ones is that the paint on them chips, scratches, rhinestones fall off, etc. And you’re not able to put a top coat on them to help prevent that, because it will only peel. These gel press ons solve those issues perfectly. I can paint them, put rhinestones on them, do designs, wear a top coat and it sticks/stays without issue. They also adhere very, very well and almost have an acrylic-like feel when on. I’ve had them on for a bit over a week so far, and they’re super secure - definitely showing no signs of going anywhere. Typically with regular press ons, 1 or 2 would have fell off by now and I would have had to glue it back on but these gel ones have not budged AT ALL and I’ve done so much with my hands. I’m sure I could do just about anything with these on and they wouldn’t fall off. I’m more worried about getting them off, but I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. I also think they’re a fabulous value, going for about $12 a box currently. I’ll be able do my nails 5x with this pack, for just $12. You can get a good box of regular press ons for about $7 or $8 but you’ll only be able to use it one time, so you do the math. Overall, with all things considered, these come out on top and I highly recommend them. The only downside to these versus the regular ones is that they’re not pre-designed, so you’ll have to spend extra time designing them if you don’t want to wear them as is in which they’re still perfectly cute, but I do tend to get bored and like to switch it up but don’t always feel like or know how to do certain designs. So, that’s the only thing but beyond that, they’re still awesome. Just know that you’ll need to have a UV cure lamp and gel nail glue because regular nail glue won’t work. You can get a nail lamp for pretty cheap and it’s worth the investment. With these things and a proper prep, you’ll be good to go, promise! Update: It’s 5 months later and I’m finally re-ordering. I’ve done my nails 5x and they’ve lasted 3 weeks easily each time without falling off. In fact, I’ve never had one fall off regardless of how long I kept them on. Of course, as with any nails (acrylic, etc), after the weeks pass, they no longer look as fresh but that’s to be expected being that your nails grow out or whatever else, that’s why you do a new set. I still can’t think of a better way to do your nails in a way that is durable and lasts. They feel the same as having on acrylics and last just as long but they’re a WHOLE lot easier to do. I’m completely positive that it was a user error if anyone has had an issue with these nails.

Please ignore my bad French free hand attempt lol. That's my fault, not the nail's. I'm in love. I'm a nail artist trained professionally up to creating classic European styles and although I adore them, they're time consuming and exacting little sculptures. Sometimes I need and or want a classic American nail with no work, or very little, that still upholds high quality and the acrygel look I crave on my own hands. These fit those needs extremely well! I bought the long square neutral box. Though not my favorite color (I want pink), I had an Amazon gift card and after that only paid $4. Four dollars to try out potentially 5 sets of really high quality gel nails!? Done. These are oh so breezy to apply with tinted polygel or builder gel. A thin layer of one underneath, 60 seconds cured, then file down the cuticle and do any decorating and sealing... hardly any filing or finishing needed! The neutral is such a nice color on me that I'm going to do a few autumnal sets for that time of year. The rest of the year though I'll be using the pink boxes. I'm making up my mind about several different sizes and shapes.. once I do, I'll have 3 more boxes from this company. A YouTube nail artist reviewed this brands pink coffin French tip box in Medium. Get video was on my feed a few days ago, which is what inspired me to order. I couldn't believe they were press ons! But yes they look and feel exactly as advertised, in my opinion. I thought when I opened them that they were just plastic, but bending them showed no one or creases. They're real and I do suggest everyone tests theirs too to be sure. I'm in love. I ordered the Pink Short Coffin version here...I loved the thickness of these better because they were thinner, but I never got to use them because I noticed firstly that the sticker sealing the package was oddly covered with pink fuzz lint then upon opening, all of one size was gone. This was a used and returned set I was sent! I'm pretty upset honestly. In the future I'll probably just order from the website directly instead.
