These are thick tips! I'm allergic to gel so I have to put them on with glue. I also have some wide flat nail beds, but they are still shaped oddly, they like to curve downward. To glue these with the least amount of bubbles possible, you have to push HARD until the glue dries. If you can, I recommend using gel glues or builder gels to adhere these bad boys. They're very stiff, not much bend to them at all. Which is a given since the apex is built up already. Apex and nail shape is fantastic. I got the almond mediums and I love how these are shaped. I don't even need to reshape them. So far these are my favorite apex tips.The only con is a personal con. I think the cuticle zone of the tips should be slightly thinner. It might be because my nails are shaped oddly, but I had a hard time pushing these tips on so the cuticle end is flush with my nail bed and also make it so the nail tips isn't pointing at the sky trying to make it flush.My nail beds are wide but mostly flat. Some of my nails have a natural apex to them. This made the glue only seem to touch the middle/apex of my nail so I had to push HARD for full nail bed contact. I did not knock any stars off because I believe this is just my weird nails, and Beetle was clear in saying that these are best for flat nail beds.

If you have flat nail beds these are for you. I started doing my own nails at home with gel X however no matter what I did at least one nail would pop off the next day. I am no professional but adhering a nail tip isn't rocket science not that the nail techs aren't incredibly skilled trust me I loved getting my nails done in a salon but saving money is even better.Many people were telling me I wasn't doing enough cuticle prep which I knew I was I was taking my time and doing every step possible and still weather applying base gel to adhere it or glue to it they would still pop off.I always knew my nail beds were a little flat but never knew I needed specific nail tips to apply until I found these. They are by far the best for flat nail beds. I've had my nails on for 2 weeks not one has budged. I wash a lot of dishes and my hands a lot. I'm a hands on kind of person and just to prove that they stayed on I put on a pair of compression stockings and if anyone knows what compression stockings are you know there is where our nail is going to come off and not one budged. Absolutely worth it.

They work amazing especially with the gel glue, the nails are thick and durable. The only problem is the size is misleading, I ordered short almond and the box says short almond but they are more of a medium. I’ve noticed the sizing isn’t always true, I guess imma have to order extra short next time.
