XCOATTIPS French Tips Nails - Extra Short Square Nail Tips with Nail Gel, French Protecing Duo, Nail Lamp, All in One Soft Gel French Tip Press on Nails Gel Extension

Buying this product was such a great investment and saved me time and money from having to go to the nail salon, which I sometimes hate doing since I have two little ones with me most of the time.First, the kit is literally all you need!! The glue could be better, the texture and consistency of it should be looked into but as far as the hold of the glue, it’s perfect! This is the only reason I took a star off. These are the BEST press-on nails I’ve tried thus far. They look and feel so nice and professionally done. My nails look like I just came from the nail salon but without the expensive costs from the nail salon.If you’re hesitant that’s fine because that means more for me!! lol But no seriously, I did these in my bed once the kids went down and it was very simple to apply these nails.The problem I’ve ran into with press-ons is them falling off too much which felt like a waste of money and time. These however, are not the case. Granite, a couple did come off but I’ve only had to reapply them once more. Another plus is that they give lots of different sizes and there’s enough to last a while.I plan to purchase more in the future!! They have themselves a new customer for life (as long as the quality doesn’t change)

I feel like the nails do look realistic. It seems like they’re really sturdy the directions were very easy to follow. My kit had the gel glue versus the regular glue. I guess my only concern is how do I get them off? I see that they’re long lasting according to the box I think it was mentioned last of the 30 days. But I did not see any instructions in easy way to remove the press on in that gel underneath. I’ve had mine on for a week and there was definitely some things I would do differently. The second time around. I went a little bit heavy on a gel so when I push down on the nail, it was spilling over.. so start with minimal gel usage. I love the assortment of sizes. They are so close in size you could get multiple applications off of the same strip before moving onto the additional strips. Seems like good quality products. I use my thumb quite a bit to dig in private stuff so my thumb is a little bit damaged. It started to ship and once I successfully find directions on how to remove them with minimal effort I will just remove it.

Just for a comparison first photo is from a salon the second is the xsmall xcoat tips. As you can see the x coats fit my nails a lot better, the color matches my nail base better. As a barista the thickness is extra important as I’m cracking open redbulls all day. The salons were so thick I had to take them off within the first week as they were unworkable. The xcoats have the perfect amount of thickness that it does not disrupt my speed working in a drive thru coffee stand. But also nails are not popping off into ppl’s drinks. and the glue holds really well. These also feel extremely comfortable. Secure, but not to the point they hurt. The third pick is for my nail biters. You see where I started from. I wish I took pics b4 putting on the nails but in 3 weeks that radiant cosmetics oil off tiktok completely repaired my nail bed, and nail plate. I even got enough free edge (white part at the top of the nail) to the point I could actually hear my nail tap against a hard surface, and my bf was weirded out by the fact he could feel my real nails.Extra steps that help my nails stay in place (fyi I did these in my bed yall):1. Buying the sally Hansen cuticle remover and using that + a cuticle pusher/and clipper + a efile (I use melodysusie) to get ride of dead skin, and reveal new growth2. Lightly buffing your nails with the file provided in the kit3. Alcohol pads are a must to remove all the cuticle and nail bed work along with any dirt4. Dehydrate those nails (I used Modelones)5. As a beginner I used the solid gel glue tube. More control, more precision (end of each press on and the top of ur natural nail is all u need)6. I etched the nails with my efile7. After gluing, curing all the nails with the provided lamp. In a separate bigger lamp I cure the top coat in for 120 secs (2 rounds of 60) I use the Sunone SunUV lampI will note a few things for my fellow nail biters trying to stop once and for all. As previously mentioned go to tiktok and buy the radiant cosmetics nail oil. If your like me and you bit off the nail bed too then your going to for 3 weeks fight that urge to bite. I know i suffered those 3 weeks. But, if you want long enough nails for xsmall size you gotta commit. I know you’re tired of seeing your bitten nails and that’s why you’re here. If you’re like me you’re too embarrassed to go to a salon again. You probably hide your hands. Trust me 3 weeks to fight the urge for a lifetime confidence boost is worth. If you start now we’ll both be able to fit the medium and long nails by the end of the year.Good Luck Everyone !

Love the set and how natural looking the nails are. Definitely can replace the salon. I ordered the toe nails separately, but both are very easy to apply. Only giving 4 stars, because I feel as though the kit should have came with an actual buffer. Also the glue DOES NOT WORK! According to some of the pics from previous reviews, it looks like they may have changed the glue. If so, they need to ditch the current one. Thankfully I had some old glue from a store bought set by “Kiss”, that saved the day.

These press-on nails completely exceeded my expectations! 💅 They look like a professional salon set but at a fraction of the price. The designs are super trendy, and the quality is amazing—strong but lightweight, so they feel really comfortable..The set came with everything I needed, and applying them was quick and easy. I’ve gotten so many compliments—no one could believe they were press-ons! Definitely ordering more.
