Makartt Short Oval Nail Tips: 500pcs Full Cover Clear Press on Acrylic Nails Extension 10 Sizes Natural Soak Off Soft Gel Manicure Fake Tip Salon DIY Home

I'll be passing these along to a friend, as I am unable to use them. Can only fit index/middle/ring (sorta), leaving no good fit for thumb or pinkie nails. It's a shame because they seem well made and excellently priced.Revised 1/2024 - figured out I can adjust the thumb fit by slightly filing the edges to narrow and the base to change that curvature! (Yes, I felt dumb for not thinking of it first.) Pinkie nail was fine, don't know why I didn't like it the first time. I've now worn these twice and been absolutely delighted - they are easy to apply and shape, lightweight enough to feel relatively normal and very comfortable, and they took polish like a dream. Not a chip or wear mark the whole time. Still wish I could order the specific sizes I need, now that I know what those are.

My teen daughter wanted nails done for a dance. I was not about to spend 50-60 dollars on fake nails at a salon. So I ordered these and glue. It worked out perfect. They look really nice. The only thing is that the thumb nail sizes were a bit to big for her thumb. Because we were in a hurry I didn't have time to file the thumb nail down around the sides. So we just used it as is. I think for my first time applying nails, I did good. I googled "how to apply acrylics" for tips. I suggest if this is your first time also, to do the sameI ordered the "short" nails because I think my daughter is to young for the longer length. They could have been shorter. I imagine the "long" length are VERY long. Overall, a good value. They are sturdy. Before you glue on the nails you will have to file the tips just a little bit to file off a piece of plastic that sticks out. I have a few special events coming up and I will be using these nails for that day.

I got the short clear oval tips. I'm no pro, but I've been doing full cover tips of some sort on myself for 20+ years to keep me from picking my nails, so I know what works for me and what doesn't and know how to make them look pretty natural.These seem like high quality full coverage tips, and I really like Makartt products in general. That said, I am returning these because they will be unusable for me without a ton of modifications.There are some important sizing issues that buyers should know going in about these, because they can impact how you wear them:- they run SMALL... I'm talking 3-4 sizes smaller than most U.S. full coverage tips. I have quite small nail beds already, but these were verging on child sized. I typically wear a size 3 or 4 on my thumbs and a size 10 or 11 on my pinkies. With the Makartts I had to go to 0 on the thumb and 7 on the pinkie.- the sizing also seems a bit inconsistent between sizes, meaning there's a larger jump between some sizes and smaller jumps between others. Within a bag they seemed all the same, so at least quality control seems good.- the c-curve is pretty flat to begin with, and if you do any filing to adjust the sizing it quickly flattens more. Because they are so sturdy, they resist bending which is normally a good thing for strength, but in this case it's not so good because of the next point. I already have flat nail beds on most my nails and normally have to fill the c-curve of most full cover tips with gel or glue, but these tips were so flat that the side walls were floating up in the air! I've never experienced that before.- the cuticle line is super square in all sizes. Normally most people's thumbs have more of a square cuticle line and smaller fingers have more of a curved cuticle line, so many full cover tips reflect this. Still, since everyone's cuticle and finger shapes are different, many of us are used to lightly shaping the cuticle line of tips to get them to fit better. However, filing the cuticle line of these tips caused the c-curve to flatten even more and I ended up with floating side walls.Overall, I just couldn't get these tips to fit me without a ton of adjustments and they just ended up looking odd. There's better fitting tips for me out there so these weren't worth it. Perhaps if you have super flat, super square, super tiny nail beds these will work better for you. I still love Makartt, just not these tips.

Man I wish I would’ve found this YEARS ago! I’ve been wearing press ons for a long time (around 2018-2019) and one of my issues is that my nails will pop off. With this glue, my nails stay on for at least a week, and my toenails stay on until I use the glue remover to take them off. Only use a small amount (or it will be all over your fingers)and spread it onto your nail, then hold for 10-20 seconds. Only thing I don’t like is the tube itself gets messy and caked with dried glue. Other than that, I love this stuff! I’m no longer embarrassed by my nails randomly falling off

I love Makartt nail products and I use their tips exclusively. I decided to order the short round full coverage tips to make shaping easier. I was so excited to use them but very disappointed to find the sizing way off. I’ve been using Makartt tips for years, so I know the sizes for each of my fingers. When I went to size the short round tips, I found the sizes that fit my nail bed started to round out too soon and left my nail edges exposed. In order to cover my entire nail, I would have had to size way too big for my nail bed and do a ton of filing to the base. It would have been way too much work so I just decided to return them instead. I guess I’ll try another length to see if I can get better coverage, but I prefer short nails so it doesn’t really eliminate the filing and shaping. I may try another brand to see if they work better.

TLDR: glue gave me a rash wherever i touched my face and remover still melted the nails.I'm not a delicate person, I ride motorcycles and my job is to work on motors. I've never been allergic to anything before. So when I got a rash on my eyelids, I was confused and couldn't figure it out. My dermatologist suggested I take off the nails, and when I did, the rash got better. I used nails I've had before, but this glue was new. So the logical conclusion is that this glue gave me a rash when I rubbed my eyes. When I went to take it off that night, the remover still dissolved the nails. I'm supper bummed
