Big thanks for the awesome rundown on Five Angeles Tipex Nail Tips! Loved every second of it! 🥰

[@KCNails]

Of course! Thank you so much for sending this for me to try out, I love them!!! 💜✨

[@LNCRHRT-vh7kp]

Thank you so much for your analysis of these you are the only one i actually seen cut the tip to see its dimensions 💚

[@KathyDoran-kl6bb]

BEAUTIFUL!

[@NeekoXOXO]

Great review and break down of everything. Thank you! I ordered some and cant wait to apply them for my birthday 7/18🥰

[@NailsByKey]

this review is so informative!!! i am reviewing this kit next week, and i tried not to watch any video with this kit so my review would be first impressions... but when i saw yours i had to click 🤩 love how the nail design turned out too, really pretty! 💜😍

[@KCNails]

Thank you girl! I can’t wait to see your video too!! 💜 I instantly knew when I first seen these, that if I try them I wanted to cut into them for * S C I E N C E * 🤣 so I figured I would continue going in depth while I was at it

[@Kedi_M]

I'm honestly waiting for TEMU to release a dupe lol

[@KCNails]

lol! Probably won’t be too much longer before everyone tries their own hand at pre-sculpted apex tips 👀

[@mariamendez1105]

😂😂😂

[@DeadGirl-oz3vl]

Funny you said that because the drill looks like one I've seen on Temu😅

[@DeadGirl-oz3vl]

Im glad you mentioned the thumb sizing, but I can't figure it out the way they have it😢 Usually I see nail measurements like .54, .47 etc in inches. Do you know what the thumb is in inches? TIA, back to the video😊 Beetles also has these kinds of nail and one other brand i can't remember. Maybe they have bigger thumb sizing🤔

[@crystalscott1878]

Hiii, beautiful set, you’ve gained a new subscriber 🙂

[@cassandrejoyce5169]

Based on your review and all you pointed out, this would be my choice of nails. Cool design you created! And loved the 💜💜💜💜 throughout the entire video.

[@KCNails]

Thank you 💜✨

[@Britney429]

Heyyy sweet Kate 💜🖤🖤💜 the built-in apex is awesome absolutely love this set the cute 3D snakes 😍 the Purple drill is very cute 🥰 I'm not real big on coffin shape nails either

[@KCNails]

Hey Britney!! 💜✨ Thank you! I love these tips, just can’t wait for more shapes/lengths and a bigger size thumb lol. Don’t get me wrong.. I loveeee coffin nails, just not on me 🤣 I might occasionally do some xl ballerina nails but not that often, and definitely not “COFFIN”

[@BooCreamy]

Heyyyy Beautiful! I love the instant apex nails! Such a neat concept! 🙌🔥 I had reached out to them to, but never heard back 😭😭 I will say though there's another brand that came out with some, they release at the end of the month! 😏❤️ love how these turned out! I will say for the brand that came out with their version of this, it was hard to find a good fit for me too... I run on the bigger side as well! Thanks for sharing beautiful!! 😘

[@KCNails]

Hey girl! 💜✨ I definitely agree, these are the best tips I’ve seen lately. Ooo what other brand is it?! 👀

[@funsizedi88]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS REVIEW!! I have flat and wide nails(thumb needs a 15mm/IC18-19mm as well!). I have my own channel @PrettyImpressiveNails l just started trying to cover more wide and flat nail bed friendly nail products. Im going to get these to try, and hope for the best since its so close. THANKS AGAIN!

[@KCNails]

Of course!! The struggle is real! Def try nailzbydev! Her full cover tips, I’m a size 2 in them! And she goes down to 0. I just tried apres sculpted tips and they also have one size bigger than my thumb (I’m a 0 and they offer 00 too).

[@funsizedi88]

@KCNails tysm for the recommendations! I haven't tried Nails By Dev yet! I've tried Apres but so often I can't find them with the 00 in them in the length/style I want. Off to order from Dev and I'll see if I can leave a comment that you sent me.

[@KCNails]

@@funsizedi88 thank you so much 💜💜

[@Main969]

Hey new subscriber🤗

[@OilSpill10]

Please tell me what the name of the comparison instant apex nail tip is. I have looked high and low for one that has a lower apex than the Tipex. The tipex rises too high close to the nail bed and does not look natural at all to me. I don't want to purchase something that I am just going to have to file down. The other brand appears strong enough for what I will be needing them for lol.

[@Nailsbythalia22]

Hi Kate! I absolutely love how this set turned out!🤩 I really want to start getting into gel x type of nails and I think this kit would be perfect because of the apex of the tips. I love having more of a high apex to ensure strength for my nails.😊 I do have a question regarding the Veeda Bella practice hand, did you experience and of the wires in the fingers breaking and causing the fingers not to bend properly? The wires in mine started breaking soon after I purchased the hand, I had already reached out to let them know of that incident and plan on purchasing another one once I can afford it, but I wanted to ask if you experienced that with yours? Maybe I wasn’t bending the fingers properly I don’t recall ever bending them abnormally. lol sorry for the novel I just had to ask.🥲

[@KCNails]

Hey!! Thank you so much! I definitely think you’d like these tips, they’re extremely high quality & I actually really love them despite the thumbs & shape/length lol. Of course! So with my hand, I haven’t had any problems.. I don’t feel like I bend the fingers that often, and that wide of a range.. typically only from a “folded finger” position (not all the way either) to a extended finger position. So probably a 3-4” difference in movement at the most. I always heard to only bend the fingers with 2 fingers fully stabilizing the finger. But I haven’t had any issues regarding the wires! On my previous VB hand, I did rip out a chunk beside the cuticle.. but that was 100% my fault 😅

[@lynnnadratowski5265]

Girl same! Most full cover 0s are too small for my thumb so I wish they made 00! 😄

[@KCNails]

The struggle is real 🫠

[@DeadGirl-oz3vl]

I found some 00 on either Shein or Aliexpress. Pretty sure they are short coffin😊 Also, e nail couture black label nails come in 00. I have the same problem and sometimes have to either place it higher on my nail and fill in the rest with gel or apply as usual and fill in the side gaps with gel😢

[@Theperilsofbev]

Thanks for this! I'm one of the bigger bail girls... Most thumb nails don't quite fit! What brand do you recommend for bigger thumbnails?

[@KCNails]

Nailzbydev! I’m usually a size 2 in her brand. I love her “medium” square full cover tips (not the gel tips one), and the 3xl square tips I also recently tried the apres sculpted tips and I’m fully a 0 (they have one size up too which is 00)

[@Theperilsofbev]

@@KCNails Thanks! I'll definitely be ordering them!

[@DarthKater311]

Hello! I love these nails. But how do I fill them?

[@rgee5176]

I fill mine using gel.

[@TuckyBlue_1]

$50 and only 2 nail bits!!!! Sheesh
