5 Colors XCOATTIPS Gel Nail Tips

I had been going to salons every 3 weeks since 2020, until I finally decided that this was just too much money to spend on a routine basis. I decided to invest in a nail kit back in June of 2024, complete with drill, LED lamp, all kinds of bits and files and cutical care products, and of course, gel nails. This brand is hands down THE BEST I have tried! So thin, yet so durable! They look so natural my friends thought I grew my nails out! I've always hated the bulkiness of acrylic nails. You can't even scratch your back with them because of how thick they make them! These are just perfect 👌🏼 I use UV activated glue to adhere them and they last me about 18-20 days (I do a lot of crafts and can be very hard on my nails sometimes and these nails CAN TAKE IT) I prep my nails using the drill, and completly clean my cuticles to have a clean surface before adhering the nails. I use a flashcuring light to attach each nail. 10 seconds of curing before fully curing under the dome LED lamp. I use gel polish with them after wiping them with pure alcohol wipes LINT FREE to get rid of any debris or oils. Then,1 layer of base coat, 2 thin coats of color, and one layer of top coat. 60 seconds of curing for each coat. I have yet to try nail art, but planning on doing so soon. Even with the couple hundred dollars I invested in my whole set up throughout the past 6 months, I am still saving so much money! Plus, it is therapeutic for me to spend those few hours, watching a show or listening to my audiobooks, while enjoying self-care. No more salons for me!

I added my own strips and top coat, reminder glue does not come with nails, Easy to apply, great quality!

Great variety of sizes. The length is advertised as medium but I would personally consider them to be long. I just used regular nail glue. I love that these are thin and flexible. Because if this they hold better and are less likely to break. They look natural and seamless when applied correctly! I do wish the had more shape/size/color variety however.

This is one of the best brands of nail I have tried so far since 5years ago. They are becoming a little bit more expensive but the quality is there the style is there and you just have to use a proper glue and the proper UV polish.

I’ve used gelly tips from several different companies - Kiara Sky, iGel, enailcouture, and others - and can say that I really like these tips. I originally wasn’t too big of a fan of the tip color, but after applying them they are almost the perfect nail bed color. I didn’t add a base color and just painted on the French tips and topped w a thick top coat. They feel really sturdy and are a bit thicker than other gel tips that I’ve tried but not in a bad way. I applied them with a thick builder gel since the tips are a bit more curved than my nail bed and needed extra product to fill in the gap. I ordered the medium almond and these are a lot longer than I thought they were going to be - I filed them down a bit from the original length. I do think $15 for 150 tips is a little expensive especially when other brands give you 500 for the same price, but I do think they are worth a try. I also wish that the packaging was a bit nicer, like a storage box or something instead of a plastic try and annoying rectangle box I struggle to put it back into 🤭 Overall I really do like these so far! Edit: I removed these to do a new set two weeks after I the ones posted in my review. These gelly tips are different from normal gelly tips - meaning that they aren’t very flexible and don’t feel like they’ll melt easily in acetone. The description says that they are soak of tips, but after soaking my fingers in acetone for ~10 minutes, I ended up filing/peeling the nails off myself. Not the best removal process but perhaps it takes more time and a bit more filing of the polish layers to actually soak off. I would take off like half a star for that lol.

Perfect length the quality of the nails are a 10 I love the color. I have purchased short and medium length. I highly recommend this product.

I really like them, they're exactly what I was looking for… perfect size for me….. good quality

I love them. Very easy to apply. BTArtbox is definitely my #1 pick for sure. They haven't failed me yet.
