Nail extensions: tips, forms or dual tips?

There are three common ways to create nail extensions. You glue tips onto the prepared natural nail with tip glue, adjust their shape and length and overlay them with gel or acrylic. Nail forms are placed under the natural nail – they act as a guide on which you sculpt the extension freehand. Dual tips are filled with acrylic gel or acrylic, placed on the nail and removed again after curing.

Which tips and forms are right for you?

Optimal-Tips with reinforced sides – also available as a bag of 500 in all sizes
Glamour-Tips and Classic-Clear Tips – strong, flexible and easy to file; Classic-Clear also as 500 with large contact area
P-M-N Tips with a short, thin contact area for minimal blending at the transition, and the Tipbox 500 Profi Tips in American shape
Nail forms: Horseshoe nail form roll for every system, Pink White extra wide in butterfly shape and Gold in a narrow shape
Repair: Fibreglass silk strips for torn nails and Fibreglass fibres for repair, reinforcement and extensions

To help you decide, read our guide Nail extensions: tips or forms?, and find the right shape in our nail shapes guide.

Frequently asked questions

Which is better for nail extensions: tips or forms?

Both work – it depends on how you like to work. Tips set the shape and length and are quick to apply. With nail forms, you sculpt the extension freehand with gel or acrylic and create a custom shape and length. We compare both in detail in our guide Nail extensions: tips or forms?

Which nail tips should I buy for nail extensions?

Optimal-Tips: reinforced sides for more stability
Glamour-Tips and Classic-Clear Tips: strong, flexible, easy to file
P-M-N Tips: short, thinner contact area, so minimal blending at the transitions
Tipbox 500 Profi Tips: classic American shape in a bulk pack

How do I apply tips correctly for nail extensions?

Cleanse, dehydrate and buff the natural nail.
Choose the right tip.
Attach the tip with tip glue and press it on evenly.
Adjust shape and length and file the transition.
Then overlay with gel or acrylic.

What tip size do I need for nail extensions?

The tip should cover the natural nail from sidewall to sidewall without pressing or leaving gaps. Our 50-piece refill bags are available in individual sizes. If you work on different nail widths, the bag of 500 Optimal-Tips is handy, as it contains all sizes sorted.

How do nail extensions with forms work?

The self-adhesive nail form is positioned and fixed under the natural nail. It acts as a guide: on it, you sculpt the extension with builder gel or acrylic and cure the material. The horseshoe nail form roll is suitable for every system and features length and shape markings.

What are dual tips and how do nail extensions with them work?

Dual tips (also called "popits") are forms with length guides that you fill from the inside: put acrylic gel into the tip, place the tip on the prepared natural nail, press evenly and cure in the UV/LED lamp. With classic acrylic, you sculpt the acrylic bead inside the tip and hold it until the acrylic has cured in the air. Then remove the tip from the side.

Can I repair a torn nail without nail extensions?

Yes. The self-adhesive fibreglass silk strip is designed for repairing torn fingernails and is overlaid with gel or acrylic. The tip glue is also suitable for repairs. The stork scissors are handy for cutting the strips.

How do nail extensions with fibreglass fibres work?

With fibreglass fibres you can extend without tips or forms:

Prepare the nail, apply primer, apply a base gel and cure.
Apply a thin layer of one-phase gel or medium-viscosity builder gel, fan out the fibres, lay them on and press them across the full width of the nail.
Cut to length and cure.
Cover with builder or one-phase gel, cure, remove the sticky layer and file into shape.

Das Gel super! Arbeite damit schon seit einigen Jahre und auch mit Starlight Rose was sich super für Babyboomer eignet. Die Haltbarkeit ist mega und es brennt kaum beim trocknen was natürlich angenehm für die Kunden ist.
