Each value pack contains 256 pieces across 16 sizes (00–14) so you can match different nail beds, sculpt a consistent apex curve, and produce a natural-looking elevation that supports gel overlays or polish. The tips’ construction focuses reinforcement where nails need it—the free edge and apex—while keeping the cuticle area thin for an unobtrusive fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these tips simplify an at-home gel extension routine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-built apex removes the need to sculpt a structural curve using builder gel, speeding up prep and application without sacrificing lift or durability.
