120pcs Press-On Nail Tips – Stiletto Almond Coffin Mix
I picked this set because I wanted to experiment with different shapes before committing to a salon visit. The fact that this included almond, square, stiletto, and coffin styles in one box made it an easy yes. It arrived in 11 days, neatly packed in a plastic organizer.
First impression: They look sleek and professional. The material is flexible enough to fit the nail bed without cracking but firm enough to hold gel.
Pros:
-
Multiple shapes in one pack
-
Great adhesion with both gel and glue
-
Easy to file and shape further
Cons: – No shape dividers inside the box – The sizing runs a bit small for thumbs
Compared to similar sets sold at Sally Beauty or Amazon, which can run $10–$15 for only 100 tips in a single shape, this $3–4 set is unbeatable. Met my expectations fully, especially considering the variety.
US $2.38

600pcs Mixed Shape Nail Extension Tips – Almond to Coffin
I ordered this bulk set for long-term use since I do gel extensions at home. The 600-piece count means no reordering anytime soon. Delivery took about 13 days.
First impression: They’re organized by size in small bags. Material feels a bit thinner than salon-grade, but workable.
Pros:
-
Massive quantity
-
Multiple styles
-
Takes gel polish well
Cons: – Needs light buffing before use – Packaging is not resealable
At around $5, it’s half the price of a similar KISS brand refill set in the US. These are definitely cost-effective and good quality for regular use.
US $5.9

Pros:
-
Soft matte surface is perfect for gel bonding
-
Durable yet flexible

Overall Opinion
I honestly didn’t expect this level of quality across the board. Every single product was usable and exceeded my expectations. The variety, finish, and pricing make AliExpress hard to beat if you’re into DIY nails. Delivery was smooth, nothing was damaged, and the packaging (except for one cracked box) was decent.
Would I recommend these? 100% yes, especially for anyone doing their own nails at home. I’ve already added a few more styles to my wishlist. AliExpress has officially become my go-to for nail extensions.
