Customer Reviews
These are cute but I wish the bow was a bit smaller. I have tiny nail beds for the most part, but the bow cutout on the thumb size is too big so my natural nail is exposed through the cutout. I'll have to apply it a bit away from the cuticle to fix this issue.
UPDATE: these nails are susceptible to bending I think because of how large the cutout is and the almond shape doesn't give the tip of the nail much support
These nail tips are adorable. To preface, I have small hands with longer nail beds. I wear sizes: 1/5/4.5/6/8. My only issue is: on some nails (thumb, pointer and middle), you can see my actual nail underneath the bow if I apply them regularly. In turn, I had to adjust every nail to get them to the same length so the bow lands above my nail bed and fill in the extra space with builder gel. It wasn’t a big deal on me personally, but I can see an issue arise if some clients have long nail beds that prefer the press-on method.
I’m so disappointed, I thought the tips would work for me. But my nail beds are too long and I have to cut my nails really short. I cannot have any length or it’ll cover the bow. With that said, I have to perfect the Extend Gel perfectly or it’ll seep and cover the bow. If you look closely, you’ll be able to see some of the bows are partially covered by the extend gel. I ended up giving the tips to my niece. Her nails are smaller and perfect for this. Another irk is light colored gel polishes. I had a hard time getting it evenly coated without puddling onto the bow. I tried to clean it as best as I could. I used thin and nail art brushes lol. Doesn’t look too bad. I’m not a pro, just trying to save some coin. Hope this review helps another person.
I love EVERYTHING about this collab. The bow cut outs and special edition polish are perfection. It’s not a true red-It has a coral hue to it that I love. The only downside is the Omni Light doesn’t come with the hello kitty head. I didn’t realize that when I ordered it and actually placed a second order. It’s ok, though. I’ll have a backup for later!
