Description
This box holds 500 fake nails in ten sizes, fifty tips of each size, in acrylic - $15.99 for either the clear or the natural finish. Ten sizes means you can match every finger properly instead of forcing one width to do two jobs, and fifty of each means you will not run out of the sizes you actually use.
The frustration with small nail tip packs is always the same. You buy 100 tips, burn through sizes three, four and five within a few sets, and the box sits half full of sizes that fit nobody. A 500 piece box in ten evenly stocked sizes fixes the maths - it is the difference between a pack that lasts one session and a box that lasts a season. For anyone practising at home or doing friends' nails, the per tip cost is what makes it worth doing at all.

Why Choose This 500 Piece Nail Tip Box
-
Ten sizes, evenly stocked - fifty of each, so the sizes you use most do not run out first.
-
Enough for many full sets - 500 tips covers repeated practice rather than one application.
-
Two finishes to choose from - clear if you are painting over, natural if you want a bare look.
-
Standard acrylic tips - they work with the glue, files and gels you already own.
-
Costs less per tip than small packs - the reason people buy the big box in the first place.
How Do You Choose the Right Nail Tip Size?
Match the tip to the width of your natural nail at its widest point, not to the length you want. The tip should sit edge to edge without overhanging the sidewalls and without leaving a gap. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one and file the sides down - you can remove material but you cannot add it. Most people use three or four sizes across all ten fingers, and thumbs almost always need the largest. Size each finger once, write the numbers down, and the next set takes half the time.
Should You Pick the Clear or the Natural Tips?
Clear tips disappear under colour, which makes them the better choice if you always paint over the top or work with gel. Natural tips have an opaque, skin toned base that hides the smile line where the tip meets your nail, so they suit a bare or French look with minimal product over the top. If you mostly do full colour sets, clear is the more versatile buy. If you want the nails to look finished without polish, choose natural.
What Else Do You Need to Apply These?
Glue is not included in this box, so you will need nail glue or a tip adhesive. Beyond that, a file to shape and blend the seam, a buffer to smooth the join, and a cuticle pusher to prepare the nail plate cover most of the job. If you are using gel or acrylic over the top you will need your usual products for that as well. None of it is exotic, but it is worth checking you have glue before you start rather than halfway through the second hand.
Buyers are usually people doing nails at home rather than in a salon: anyone learning to apply tips and wanting enough stock to practise on, people who do friends' and family members' nails, students and hobbyists building a kit, and anyone tired of buying a 100 piece pack every few weeks. Nail techs also buy boxes this size as backup stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is glue included?
No. Nail glue or tip adhesive is sold separately and is not part of this box.
What shape are the tips?
They are French style nail tips. The manufacturer does not specify a particular shape such as stiletto or coffin, so treat them as a standard French tip and shape them yourself with a file.
Are the tips full cover or half well?
The manufacturer does not state the well style. They are supplied as standard French tips intended to be blended and filed.
Can I paint gel over them?
Yes. Acrylic tips take gel, acrylic and regular polish. Prepare and buff the surface first as you normally would.
How many full sets will 500 tips make?
A full set uses ten tips, so 500 tips is fifty sets in theory. In practice you will use some sizes faster than others.
Which colours can I choose?
Clear or Natural, selectable at checkout. White is not a variant on this listing.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, to every state and territory including regional and remote addresses.
