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 Daily Nail Extensions

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.

I have weird hands, some of my nailbeds are curved like a C, and others have been flattened or squashed and are wide and almost flat. It's very hard to find press-ons that will fit, but these are PERFECT! They fit all my differently shaped nailbeds, and they don't curve too early (some nails begin the rounded curve low, and the side of my natural nail shows). I paint them before I apply them, but you can see in the photo that they are not opaque. You can see your natural nail through them. After about a 5 - 7 days of wear, they start to yellow. After a week, the sides that are not glued to your natural nail (above your finger) will become soft and start to bend/dent. This probably happens because I wash my hands a lot during the day. Regardless, I love these nails! I get 5 manicures out of 1 box, so the price is on point! Oh, they are easy to file, trim, and reshape at the cuticle edge.

Favorite set yet!!! These ste amazing and can be used as natural nails or nails to put polish on. Im very excited to get my next set!! I dont know why they look yellow on camera but they match my skin tone perfectly!!!

If you’re a simple girl or a an extreme nail biter like me this is quick (20min minimal or 1 hour tops) to apply. 20 min to file, dehydrate, primer, fit and glue on. 1 hour to give yourself a full manicure, apply cuticle remover and push back your cuticles, cut them off, file ur nail beds, dehydrate, primer, apply gel glue to nail bed, cure, fit nails, apply gel glue to nail cure one at a time and apply top coat and cure. You can even use the instant nail glue to cut the time to cure your nails down. It lasts a good week and a half for me and two weeks if I’m on vacation from work. I work with trucks and trailers but I’m constantly banging my fingers, getting them stuck or snagged on something or dirty with oil.
