BTArtboxnails French Gel Nail Tips - French Tip Press on Nails Pink Short Coffin XCOATTIPS for Nail Extensions

I love BT Art Box nails!! This is my 3rd style. Brown skin friendly, short coffin. It does take time and practice and a lot of patience, but it is worth it. I use the BT Art Box nails glue ( the one in the black bottle with the nail brush). You have to cure it. First apply it on your own nail cure for 60s then apply some on the nail and cure for another 60s. Then apply a builder gel and top coat ( curing each separately) and your done! You do have to prep your nails to get a clean look. So be sure to clean up your cuticles etc. highly recommend, if u have time and patience it will turn out good. Every time I do my own nails I get better and better . It is a little tricky at first but watch a few videos on YouTube and read the reviews of others on Amazon and you will learn. Comes with several packs and multiple sizes. Once applied “ correctly “ it will last about 3-4 weeks. I soak them off with pure acetone. The French does chip/ fade away but that’s with any nail. I still highly recommend this. They also have so many different colors and options to choose from. If you like getting your nails done, stop wasting time.

Actually the best, sturdiest pressons to ever exist. I have tried so many pressons in my life and not once have I ever come across some that DO. NOT. BUDGE. Like I pressed them on just with normal glue for a few seconds and they haven’t moved since that day. (First three photos)I also added just a gel top coat and that lasted about a week before I noticed chipping but I am going to just file them down a bit more to get the shape back & make it look like there’s no peeling. (Last photo is after 7 days)Length is perfect. Color is beautiful. They are thick and are still lasting me! AND they give you a BUNCH of sets! I thought I was just buying one but this is going to last me practically all year the way they stay on lol.The only bad thing (which is user error) is that you can see the glue pockets up close if you don’t put enough glue. STILL NOT COMING OFF THOUGH :). I’m super happy I found these. I won’t be going anywhere else as long as my natural nails underneath are healthy after I take these off.

Amazing nails! They look great. I look I just left the salon. They do chip easily but that could be a user error. I applied the builder gel and top coat. I love the amount that you get as well. I’m set for months! I love this brand overall. I have the toe nails and they’ve lasted over a month! I’m happy with my purchases & I plan on purchasing other styles.

Pros:The French is perfect because it is machine pressed or machine made. It's smooth, thin to the surface of the nail, and the smile line is impeccable.It is indeed gel. It has a perfect gelly look to it, matte or glossy, and doesn't crease when bent, making it fast, easy and accurate when making a pinched set of nails.Easy to layer over top of polygel, hard gel, gel glue, or traditional air dry glue.They take all types of polish and top coats oh so dreamily.When layered with gel glue, polygel or hard gel, they're easy to keep as reusable press ons.Cons:I wish the pink was a little more opaque, a little brighter and a little bit more of a cotton candy or bubble gum color. I use polygel or hard gel under these because otherwise there's a semi sheer pink gap between my finger tip and where the French smile line begins. I don't use them with traditional air dry glue on their own for this reason. If they were a little more opaque and a little pinker, I would be able to, though. They're so close to perfect for me.The pink short almond set came with all the pieces in a plastic box, loose. I hated that. I think that the strips are by far more professional, convenient, attractive and easy to size.I returned them because unfortunately several nails were clipped at the tips, so were more like coffin instead of almond like the rest of the nails in the set.I wound up ordering their Pink Short Square instead.4/25/2023:I got the short pink square set today and got them on. I'm in love!!! That's my left thumb. I installed this set with my favorite nail bed polygel of all time, Rosè from Makartt. I have some pink, opaque builder gel coming from Makartt later this week, and I'll redo my nails then with it instead because I want a bit more coverage and thinner cuticles that I don't need to sand down, which does create a rougher, faker look for me if I can't do it perfectly... extra tough to do with my non dominant hand!But these nails are incredible, in my opinion. I can file them down at the cuticle area before applying if I need them shorter while preserving the French tip, they're sturdy enough for me while still being thin enough, I love the pink color, the box contains 5 to 10 sets for my personal use depending on whether I use hard gel or polygel, and they can be reused as pressons.Now the pro tip. Have you ever heard of the cuticle pocket? Opening the cuticle pocket is the secret to getting nails that look and feel exactly like Russian salon nail services. If you look on YouTube, search "how to open and clean the cuticle pocket nails" or something very similar. I know my photo isn't the greatest, but hopefully you can see the depth between the nail and cuticle area. If you open that cuticle pocket, clean it, then carefully insert the press on slightly under it, it looks incredibly crisp and it prevents lifting even further.Another pro tip, one I figured out myself:If these nails are too sheer for your liking, buy or use a jelly polish on the underside of the nails first, one to three coats, and then fill the under side with non stick sculpting gel. Pressing down on the cuticle area forward to the tip, you'll retail the nice thin cuticle area under the pocket too. Then you'll also want to secure the nail with a clear UV clip. Place it right at the cuticle area firmly, then bake in the light for 90 sec. Then top coat to seal the French tip. Voila.Another general note, if you insert the nail under your cuticle, it shortens the press on. BTA Frenchies are in general perceived to be kinda long.. your opinion of the length depends on the length of your applied area, so, from chosen cuticle area (some people leave some space between the press on and their cuticle, some people gently push back and clean the cuticle to apply for a snug fit, some apply against the untouched cuticle, and some, like me now, give the cuticle the full cut, push and clean, then insert underneath) to the free edge of the finger tip. If you insert these into the pocket, suddenly too long "short" press ons become much shorter.. in my new opinion, just right. I love BTA French tips.

These are a perfect quick alternative to fancy nails at the salon. I am a working stay-at-home mom who does not have time to leave the house for manicures. But I love having my nails done! I like the freedom these offer.Tip: I shape them a little with a filer to fit my natural nail shape a bit better. I finish it off with clear builder gel and top coat of my choice.

I’m a flight attendant and have spent too many hours hours and too much money in nail salons of the years. Looking for a way to cut both, I discovered these press on nails. I purchased the short French Nails and the quality, the look, durability, (I purchased the entire system) has exceeded my expectation! Highly recommend, easy to apply easy to remove! I will not set foot into a salon again!

Love this brand and the wear. I'm a retired nail tech and don't want to spend time on my nails. These are easy even with regular nail glue. I use the Glamonade clear top coat and they last weeks. I like this short length but if you get the longer ones you can shorten them from the back.
