BTArtbox Almond Press On Nails - Soft Gel Nail Tips Medium XCOATTIPS Natural with Base Color, Stronger Adhesion, Nude Pre-shaped Ultra Fit Fake Nails for Women Gift

Folks! First let me thank all of you who have created reviews! You all were the wind beneath my wings! I was hesitant to try just another press on and I was afraid of gel x. But, salon costs and also lack of service caused me to soak off my last acrylic set several months ago. I like having my nails done but the regular press ons (except maybe Olive and June) just really don’t last or if they do, after a short while they start chipping and or looking lackluster or like plastic! My daughter started getting gel ex at the salon and they looked great but again back to the high salon costs! I’m done with that! So for the cost of about a full set with designs and a bubble tea, I invested in some products to start doing my nails at home! I started with these BTartbox natural nails and they are such a game changer! After reading a few reviews and checking out YT, I was ready! This was so easy and enjoyable! Also the product quality is so good! The nails are durable and just cute and feminine! 💕Here were my steps and I wish you all much success!Cleaned nails and cuticles (followed the going advice for nail prep)Found correct nail sizes. Painted nails with dehydrator and nail primer.Applied gel glue to each of my nails, cured for 30 secs. Started applying each nail pinky through thumbs (THIS Part - 1 nail at a time): Added glue to each press on nail (not a lot of glue) (one at a time). Placed the nail at a 45 degree angle onto my natural nails. Press down from base of nail to top of your natural nail tips. Clean excess glue with alcohol or a little brush. Flash cure each nail holding the nail under the uv light with your free hand. Continue until each nail is applied. Wipe excess again and cure both finished hand under a bigger uv light for 60-120 seconds.Before applying the builder gel (not a lot), take a bit of acetone and swipe the cuticle area of each nail. This sort of melts the bottom of the nail into the cuticle area so it looks like the nail is growing out naturally! If you are adding designs it’s a good time to do so before adding the builder gel and top coat.Alright now you add a thin layer of builder and cure. Next add your desired top coat and cure!I cure once more for good measure! Add cuticle oil to your cuticles Don’t forget to wear fingertip-less gloves as you are working with the uv lamp! I wish yall the very best!!! I already ordered several more BTart box xcoat nails! Working to get my photos uploaded😊❤️

I got the nude medium almond, and these are SOOOO beautiful and natural looking! They’re extremely sturdy and it worked with the Beetles nail glue. They’re extremely definitely work a lot better than other more plastic extensions which I have to, but these feel like these would stay on long. The shape is perfect and the length isn’t too long but long enough to give a beautiful elongated dainty finger. Lol. That might sound weird but it gives my hands more of a natural femininity than those thick acrylics that really look like too much. And I loveee natural looking enhancements. I painted and designed my own nails but these took on gel nail polish and seem like they will LAST. I don’t think I will use any other fake nails to be honest. I could wear these without painting them, and I loveee natural looking that! I have a pretty flat nail bed, but these definitely have less air bubbles than others I’ve used but I have to press it or add more glue. It’s trial and error when it comes to that, but I can say out of 10 fingers, I have 2 fingers with very minimal air bubbles. You wouldn’t even be able to tell though even if I didn’t paint over them.

These are a great base for gel x nails. I’ve added rhinestones and different little decorations to spruce up but I love the color and shape and length ! They feel nice and it really depends on how you apply them

These are my absolute favourites, they make at home gelx manicures so much faster and easier. I've never had one break on me the way some of the clear gelx caps can.

A great option for natural looking nails at home with press ons. easy to apply and maintain

Good quality but you need gel glue base coat and top coat to keep the nails lasting longer than 2 weeks.

Love the color, shape and sizes! You can slightly change the color with different shades of sheer nudes and pinks or you can completely change the color with fully opaque gels. I found a gel polish for my toes that matches perfect! My only issue is they don't seem to stay on well with any old nail glue. You need a STRONG nail glue to keep them on.

For a nail base, these are nice if you want a quick natural-looking full cover. They are a bit crooked at the pointed tip, and they are also softer than I thought. The tips quickly wore down after a couple days, and trying to file them gummed up my nail files. :| I don’t imagine these lasting as long as other brands.Also, I ordered another set of a different length and both did not include the nail glue as advertised.
