beetles Gel Polish9 in 1 Nail Glue with New Formula, 0.5 Fl Oz Super Strong Brush in Nail Gel Glue for False Nails Tips, Rhinestone, Base Gel, Blooming Nail Gel

I bought these to create coffin shaped nails in a length that suits me. Coffin short is too short, not enough landscape for good nail art. , Coffin medium is just a bit too long for me. You can't really trim the coffin shape or it won't be a coffin shape anymore. I also purchased these in the almond mediums for the same reason. With the almond, I wound up with something like ballerina, which is fine but I wanted to see if I could get coffin or pretty close to it in a length I like without having to completely reshape each nail. Shaping these is very time consuming so you want to choose a shape and length that works for you pretty much as-is. When I snip off just the tip, these stiletto nails are as close to coffin as I can create without having to do a lot of work. I used an artificial nail cutter with a dial on it--$10 on Amazon and definitely the most accurate way to get all 10 the same length. I applied these nails and then set the dial on the trimmer at 5--the higher numbers on the dial will leave the nail longer. I believe the highest number is 7. The lower the number the more it will cut off. #5 takes off about 4 or 5 mm-- so the whole pointed portion, leaving just the tapered square end. I'm very happy with the results.I am new to doing full sets at home. I was misled to believe that I need to spend more than double on the Apres nails. I don't. These Beetles nails have been great so far at about 33 to 50% of the price. They wear well. I haven't experienced cracking. They're shaped and sized perfectly. I can find a size to fit each of my fingers with little to no filing down the sides. These are Beetles' reasonably new "etch x" tips that come pre-etched in the portion that covers your nail plate, saving a step in the application process. I am using Apres Extend Gel to apply these nails and I'm really happy with it. I haven't tried other brands yet, but the Apres gel seems to combine strong with gentle, so these suckers hold on really well but, unlike the glue that many brands offer, the Apres gel is gentle on my natural nail underneath so I can still grow my own nails and do a basic gel mani once in a while.One of the things I'm learning is that even when I didn't do a great job of getting the nails on right, they still last a long time without popping off using the method I'm using. I took off my first set after a week and figured out that even though there was some lifting, they very likely were not going anywhere for at least another week, maybe two. Air bubbles underneath is the biggest challenge to overcome, along with placing the back edge of the nail just close enough to your cuticle without getting too close. I either get no air bubbles but the back edge is too close, or a good placement with regard to my cuticle but in trying to be precise I let in air. Still, I'm getting a great looking full set. This mani would have cost about $125 at the salon. I've invested a few hundred dollars in equipment, supplies, and polish/art, but I have already more than paid for it in what I'm not spending on nail techs. I've watch a lot of how-to videos and I strongly suggest that if you're planning to start doing your own Gel-x nails at home.Overall good quality product at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

I was sick of everything falling apart, just like those exes who couldn’t keep their hands off me only to vanish at the worst times. Then I found this Beetles 9-in-1 Nail Glue and, wow, it’s a whole different vibe. It sticks like my stubborn heart—super strong, flawless, and ready to shine no matter what. Whether I’m rocking false nails or bedazzling with rhinestones, this glue keeps it all locked down like nothing else. If you want nails that refuse to quit, this is your ride or die. 💎✨🙌

Brand: BeetlesProduct: Nail Glue for Nail TipsSize: 15 ml (0.5 fl oz)Type: Soak-off UV/LED nail glue (dual use as base gel)⸻🔍 Performance:This gel-based nail glue offers solid, long-lasting adhesion for nail tips and press-ons. Unlike traditional quick-dry glues, this one requires curing under a UV/LED lamp, which actually helps nails last longer — up to 2–3 weeks with proper prep.✅ Pros:• Strong hold – tips stay put with no lifting when applied correctly.• Dual function – can be used as a base coat too (saves time and money).• Low odor & gentle – doesn’t sting or burn like harsh glues.• No mess brush applicator – easy to control, beginner-friendly.• Larger bottle than most glues – more product, better value.⚠️ Cons:• Needs a UV/LED lamp – not for quick fixes or on-the-go touch-ups.• Thicker formula – requires careful, even application.• Not ideal for impatient users – no instant bond; takes a little time to cure properly.⸻Final Verdict:If you’re already working with gel products and a lamp, this glue is a great investment. It gives salon-quality adhesion and is much gentler on nails than drugstore glue. Just don’t expect it to work without curing, and you’ll love it.💅 Pro tip: Prep your nails well and cure thoroughly — and this glue will keep your nail tips on longer than your last situationship.⸻Let me know if you’d like a sarcastic “acid tone” review for this one too!

Absolutely love the Beetles I’VE Gel Nail Glue! I’ve used it several times now, and it consistently keeps my press-ons secure for at least two weeks, sometimes even longer with minimal lifting. It’s easy to apply, cures quickly under a UV light, and gives a salon-quality hold without the damage of traditional glue.I’ve tried a lot of nail adhesives, and this one truly stands out—no popping off mid-week or random nails coming loose. It gives me the confidence to wear press-ons for events or just everyday life without constantly checking if they’re still in place.Will definitely be buying again! Highly recommend if you want long-lasting, strong wear without the hassle.

So I'm new to the nail polish and nail world, and I've been experimenting a lot. I've found I really like gel nail polishes, and wanted to try on the glue and press-on nails. Tried this glue, and initially, they looked great, felt great, and I felt I did a great job applying the glue for the nails. The nails looked great too! But apparently my body is allergic to some of the ingredients, because my fingers swelled, I've got hives now, and they're very itchy. Giving a 4/5 stars because of the allergic reaction, BUT the difficulty getting the nails back off attests to the strength of them. I was fighting for my life getting those nails off and removing the glue lol

Great tips, they come with lots of sizes for nail beds that range from thin to wide widths. They were very easy to apply with very clear instructions. My 12 year old was able to do bother her own nails and mine. They held well with the beetles glue. Will continue to purchase.
