Are these self adhesive tips? Do the tips bond immediately to the nail? Can the edge of my nail be straight or is it cut for a round edge?

these stick! And when you place them on your nail, there is very little room for mistake. You place them on and smooth them down. Then you slightly wrap them over the nail edge, just such that they stick completely. You use the little file they provide to gently file off the excess polish. The shape of your nail does not matter. It is not a bad idea to leave the shaping and shortening of your nail until you finish with application, top coat, etc., even until the next day.

Yes they are self adhesive but it's not a sticker. It's adheres the way the nail polish would. So once it's pressed down it won't lift or pull away. If you hold it so the edges are curled up and you just barely place the center down, you can shimmy it just a enough to get a correct placement. Once all the edges are down you can't move it. Your nail can be any shape. They are shaped like a rectangle with a curve at the end. So you can have any shape with a lot or a little white showing. I really liked using these.

Hi Scott , they are self adhesive , I have put it on crooked, and lifted it off and reapplied. Pressure and the warmth of your finger that is pressing it on adheres it. Fingernail need not be round, when applying you smooth out the tip, at end of nail you smooth over edge of nail and press along edge. Excess will cut off just like Saran Wrap on a box will do. Smooth out, use orange stick around sides to press, apply instant clear nail polish over entire nail. Done! All I do special is wear gloves doing dishes or cleaning, 3 week manicure !!! Love them.

These stick pretty quickly. I put one on wrong and ruined it by trying to pull it off to fast. If you slowly and gently pull it off, it should be ok. My nails are slightly curved at the tips and these strips worked well for me. Once I smoothed the strip down onto my nail, I folded it down over the edge of my nail and used the file that comes with the kit and filed off the excess.

They are stickers/"decals" that adhere to your nails. Once thy are "set" they cannot be reapplied...they can be peeled off but will rip in pieces. You use a nail file provided to file off the excess to be flush with your nail edge. Hope this helps...good luck!

They are like stickers and they do not bond instantly, but you can not lift and reapply. The edge is way longer than your nails and you file off the edge to be flush with the edge of your own nail.

I have not used mine yet so I can't really answer your question . I was just going to add to finished nail then add a clear coat over . I'm pretty sure you could if you wanted but they are pretty small . I hope this helped :-)

The nails I have used are Grip Rite brand Collated Framing Nails. They are Paper Tape Offset Round Head 2" and 3 1/2" - Ring Shank. I purchase them at Lowes. I have just about completed the conversion of a garage into two bed rooms and an entrance hall. These nails have served all my framing needs.

They are much larger than the regular tips. If you use a coupler, you will need a large one. Hope this helps.

Yes. They're not pointed like sewing scissors, but they're not flat-tipped either. Ezlypist's description matches my experience, with two pairs, BTW.

You have to cut them yourself... Maybe a art razor blade (don't use scissors lol I tried it before). Try your best to cut them small, if you cut them too big you can still use them, but when you put them on your nail it'll be sticking up pretty high.

I used to use Q-tips for make up. Flattened round on both ends. Newer Q-tips pointed on both ends. This has flattened round on one end & the other pointed like the nail tees. Same great quality.

open side up... flat side down when cutting nail. Flat side is the cutting edges.

I used a nail gun with fine trim nails because I bent it tight around a railing. A more gradual curve could just use glue.

Hi Julia, These are only what they consider "Tips". So they are really to just be used down by the end of your nail. Then the rest is to be filled in a then built up with acrylic, like in a nail salon. I personally just like to wear them like you are talking about. I just round it to match up against my cuticle and use nail glue to secure. I do use super glue if i run out but find that i often use way too much of either one and it tends to turn the fake nails really soft. By the time the fake nail has grown out away from your cuticle is about when the glue starts to loose it's strength so they pop off easy & i give my nails a day or two to "Breathe" and do it all over again. The glue lasts best if you lightly rough up your own nails with a file (it gives more for the glue to hold on to" and clean WELL with good soap & water. I have done this for several years with great results & DON'T have to spend money i don't have on nail oil removers and high class false nails and such. These were the BEST deal for what you & i are looking for! Just make sure you buy from a seller with a good low price! Most good deals are out of China so takes a couple of weeks to arrive. Good luck & hope i helped!

They are not pointed, it's kind of rounded at the tips. I have been very satisfied with them. Use them for cutting herbs out of the growing containers, parchment, opening bags and cutting the backs out of chickens when I smoke them. I don't see a need for a sharp point for the kind of cutting I do.

I used regular nail glue and roughed up the side of the fake nail I was attaching to my nail before I applied the glue. It held great while my real toenail finished growing back out.ETA: It doesn't come with glue.

Yes you use nail tips with acrylic powder and liquid monomer or uv builder gel to create or build your nail.

I purchased separately bits from Medicool also sanding bands (fine) to use. Now these are only used on artificial nails and if used on natural nails great care should be taken! Not sure this answers your question!

I don't know about all that stuff, I'm new with my nailer so I bought bostitch nails. So far I've used 2 inch and 1 1/4 both are great with no problems. If you ry them the worse case is they jam and you have to get them out, go for it!

I just used 5/8" brad nail by accident and they worked fine. I didn't even realize it till after. I only used about 8 though. I would still like to see what Wen says.
