💅 24 Square Short Fake Nails +1 Nail File +1 Piece of Jelly Glue
I bought these 24-piece short square press-on nails mostly out of curiosity — they looked super minimalist and clean, ideal for day-to-day wear without feeling too flashy. What really drew me in was the full set aspect: the included jelly glue and nail file meant I didn’t have to buy anything separately. That’s a huge plus when you’re just testing out new styles.
Application was fast and smooth. The jelly glue provided a surprisingly strong hold (better than some brands I’ve tried here in the US), and the nails sat snugly on my natural nails without that fake-looking curve. I wore them for about 6 days before I decided to switch them out — they could’ve lasted longer if I hadn’t removed them on purpose.
Pros: ✔ Clean, elegant look ✔ Comfortable to wear ✔ Includes file and glue ✔ No chipping or color fading
Cons: ✘ Only one jelly glue sheet (you’ll need backups for reuse)
Price-wise, I paid just under $2.50. Similar sets in the US usually run $8–$15 at drugstores. This set absolutely met — and honestly exceeded — my expectations.

💅 120-Piece Long Round Semi-Matte Fake Nails
I was after a bulk set of semi-matte glue-on nails for practicing home nail art, and this one looked like a bargain. It includes 12 sizes, so it’s beginner-friendly and great if your nail beds are on the smaller side (like mine). The matte finish sold me — I love a soft, non-glossy nail look.
The shape is a beautiful long round, flattering on fingers, and super easy to file down. I painted a few sets and the polish went on smoothly. No weird bubbling or texture — these are surprisingly high-quality for the price.
Pros: ✔ 12 size options ✔ Perfect for nail art ✔ Soft matte finish ✔ Holds polish well
Cons: ✘ No glue included ✘ Some sizes are a little flimsy
I paid around $3.50. At Sally Beauty or Amazon, you’d be spending $10–$20 for a similar bulk pack. I’d say these are a smart choice for DIY nail lovers.

💅 24pcs Short Square French Nails with Heart Design
Okay, these short square nails with a cute heart and French tip design are adorable. I was looking for something playful but classy, and these totally nailed it (pun intended). The Y2K bride vibe? So trendy right now.
They came pre-designed and were super easy to press on with a jelly glue sheet. I wore them for a weekend trip and got a bunch of compliments. They held up nicely — even survived washing dishes.
Pros: ✔ Unique and trendy design ✔ Ready to wear, no painting needed ✔ Good glue adhesion
Cons: ✘ Not reusable unless you have separate glue ✘ Only 24 pieces, so fewer backups
At just $2.20, they blew my expectations out of the water. Way better value than anything similar from Walmart or Ulta.

💅 600pcs Short Almond Gel Nail Tips (Set 1)
This 600-piece soft gel almond nail tips set is probably my favorite AliExpress buy in months. The shape is super flattering — not too pointy, not too round — and they’re thin enough to look natural but thick enough to last through normal wear.
Perfect for gel extensions or press-on designs. I used them with builder gel and was shocked by how salon-like the results looked. The flexibility of the soft gel makes them way more comfortable than traditional acrylic tips.
Pros: ✔ Amazing quantity ✔ Perfect for professional or DIY use ✔ Flexible and comfy
Cons: ✘ Needs separate nail glue or gel ✘ Case lid isn’t super sturdy
I paid around $4.30. In the US, this kind of set would go for $20–30 easily at pro nail supply shops. Totally exceeded my expectations.

💅 600pcs Short Almond Gel Nail Tips (Set 2 – Same SKU)
Yes, I bought this second 600-piece almond nail tips set from the same listing, but I like having backups for when I experiment with shapes and styles. This batch was just as consistent in quality — none of the pieces were cracked or irregular.
It’s basically the same pros and cons as the first, though I did notice the second box had slightly clearer tips — perfect for doing milk bath or jelly nails.
Pros: ✔ Consistent shape and thickness ✔ Good for transparent nail designs ✔ Strong and flexible
Cons: ✘ Needs curing gel and prep work ✘ Shipping took a week longer than the other
Still, for under $5, it’s unbeatable compared to $25 professional brands in the US.

💅 120pcs Acrylic French Square False Nails
These medium-length French square acrylic tips are great if you’re into the structured, salon-style nail. I chose them for a DIY French set and they did not disappoint. They were strong, well-shaped, and filed evenly.
They come in a nice box with varied sizes. The fit is good and they bond well with acrylic or poly gel. I tested them with both, and they performed better than some salon tips I’ve used before.
Pros: ✔ Durable and thick ✔ Great for structured manicures ✔ Affordable and reusable
Cons: ✘ Need extra prep (buffing, glue) ✘ Not soft gel — harder on nail beds
At $3.20, these are worth every penny. A similar box on Amazon is $14–18.

💅 24pcs White Flower Almond Press-On Nails
This set of white floral almond press-on nails caught my eye because of how feminine and summery the design looked. I needed something for a wedding, and these were ideal — elegant without being over the top.
The glue tab held for 4 days straight with no lifting. The floral print is delicate and printed cleanly, not pixelated or cheap-looking. They look more boutique than budget.
Pros: ✔ Lovely design ✔ Comfortable fit ✔ No polish needed
Cons: ✘ Some tabs didn’t hold past 5 days ✘ Only 24 pcs = limited repeats
For around $2.50, I’d absolutely repurchase — especially compared to Kiss nails here that run $9–12 per set.

💅 240pcs Clear Matte Almond Nail Tips
Last but not least, I ordered these clear matte almond nail extension tips for builder gel manicures. The matte texture made it easier to apply gel and base coat evenly without slipping.
There are 12 sizes in this set, and they work for both short and medium-length nail looks. Flexibility and durability were impressive — no cracks after two weeks of wear with gel overlay.
Pros: ✔ Soft matte for better polish grip ✔ Tons of quantity for the price ✔ Great shape variety
Cons: ✘ Needs glue and curing lamp ✘ Slight chemical smell out of box
At around $3.80, these are a fantastic alternative to high-end pro kits in the US ($25+ easily).
US $1.53
🛍 Final Thoughts
I’m honestly surprised — in the best way — by the quality of all 8 products. Shipping ranged from 10 to 18 days, which is reasonable. Every item either met or exceeded my expectations. For the price, the value is unbeatable compared to buying similar items locally. Would I recommend these products? Absolutely — especially to anyone into DIY nails or trying to cut salon costs. I’ll definitely be ordering more sets soon. AliExpress wins this round!
