MelodySusieFull Cover Soft Gel Nail Tips Extra Short Ballerina 300pcs
Clear full cover nail tips in an extra short ballerina, 300 pieces in fifteen sizes. The half matte 70 grit inside grips without any buffing.
Description
The MelodySusie Soft Gel Nail Tips Extra Short Ballerina are clear nail tips in an extra short ballerina. Ballerina is the shape with straight sides and a straight, slightly narrower top, and at this length that is the most wearable version of it.
Clear acrylic means the colour underneath comes through as it is. The inside comes pre-etched to a half-matte 70 grit finish, exactly the roughness glue or gel needs, so you do not have to sand them first. The box holds fifteen sizes instead of the usual twelve, with the number on every tip.
These nail tips:
- have an extra short ballerina shape, straight sides and a straight top
- are clear, so the colour underneath does not change
- come pre-etched with a half-matte 70 grit finish
- come in fifteen sizes, numbered on the tip
- are full cover, so there is little blending at the transition
- stay on for twenty-eight days or longer and stay clear after refills
- bend along without leaving a white crease
- are cruelty free
How to use
- Find the tip that fits edge to edge on each finger and lay them out in order.
- Push back your cuticles, take the shine off your nail and degrease it.
- Apply glue or gel, set the tip at a slight angle and press it flat without air bubbles.
- Cut the length with a tip cutter and file the shape.
- Blend the transition smooth and paint or build up as you normally would.
- Remove them with remover or a drill, never by pulling them off.
Questions (3)
How do I know which size I need?
Every tip has a number on the top. Before you start, hold the tip next to each finger that is as wide as your nail bed, from edge to edge, and write the number down. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one and file the sides down a little: a tip that is too narrow lifts at the edges. With fifteen sizes in the box you will almost always find one that fits.
Do I still have to buff the tip before I glue it on?
No. Both sides are already pre treated matte at 70 grit, and that is exactly the roughness glue or gel needs to bond. Your own nail does need preparing: push the cuticles back, take off the shine and degrease.
How long do they stay on?
With good preparation and enough glue or gel you get twenty eight days or more. If they come off sooner, that is nearly always down to the prep: oil or moisture on the nail, or a tip that does not close fully at the sides. If you work with gel, cure every layer separately.
