Benefits
1 Immediate Length: One of the primary benefits of nail tips is that they provide instant length to the nails.
This is especially beneficial for individuals with short natural nails who desire a longer, more beautiful look.

2 Versatility in shapes and styles: Nail tips come in a variety of shapes, including square, round, oval,
stiletto, coffin, almond and more. This versatility allows individuals to choose a size that matches their
personal style and preferences.
3 Customization: Nail tips can be easily customized according to length and shape. They can be cut and
filed to achieve the desired length and shape before any additional enhancements are applied.
4 Nail Art Canvas: Nail tips provide a blank canvas for a variety of nail art designs. They can be painted,
decorated or enhanced with additional products such as acrylics, gels or nail polish, allowing for creative
and unique designs.
5 Strength and Durability: Nail tips add an extra layer of strength to natural nails, reducing the risk of
breakage and splitting. It is especially beneficial for individuals with weak or damaged nails.
6 Ideal for special occasions: Nail tips are a popular choice for special occasions, events or weddings,
where individuals want to quickly achieve a polished and sophisticated look.
7 Overlay Base: Nail tips can serve as a base for overlays or enhancements such as acrylic or gel applications.
They provide a stable base for building additional layers of product.
8 Filling and Maintenance: Regular filling or maintenance sessions can be performed to maintain the
uniform appearance of the nail tips as the natural nails grow. During maintenance, the gap between the
cuticle and the tip is filled with acrylic or gel.
9 Temporary changes: Nail tips provide a temporary solution for individuals who want to experiment with
longer nails without committing to more permanent growth.
10 Quick Application: Nail tipping is generally faster than some other nail enhancement techniques, making
it an efficient option for individuals seeking a timely transformation.

11 Affordability: Nail tips are often more affordable than some other artificial nail enhancements, making
them an accessible option for individuals on a budget.
Contraindications
1 Nail disorders or infections: Individuals with nail disorders, fungal infections, or bacterial infections on
natural nails should avoid using the nail tip. In such cases, placing artificial extensions may aggravate
existing problems and hinder the natural healing process.

2 Allergies: Some individuals may be allergic to materials used in nail tips, such as certain types of plastics
or adhesives. Allergic reactions may manifest as redness, itching, swelling or other skin irritation. Patch
testing may be advised for people with known allergies.
3 Open wounds or cuts: Individuals who have open wounds, cuts or injuries on their natural nails should
avoid using nail tips. Placing artificial extensions in these cases may cause discomfort, increase the risk of
infection, and slow the healing process.
4 Habit of nail biting: Individuals with a severe habit of nail biting may find that nail tips are less durable and
may not produce the desired results. The pressure of nail biting can cause nails to lift prematurely or cause
the ends to break.
5 Thin or weak natural nails: If the natural nails are excessively thin or weak, adding a nail tip may not be
appropriate, as it may further compromise the strength of the natural nails. Excess weight and pressure can
contribute to breakage.
6 Allergic reactions to nail glue: Some individuals may be allergic or sensitive to the ingredients in nail
glue. It is important to do a patch test before applying the nail tips to check for any adverse reactions.
7 Medical conditions: Individuals with certain medical conditions, such as circulatory disorders or
autoimmune disorders, may need to consult their healthcare provider before using nail tips. Conditions that
affect blood flow or the immune response may affect the healing process.
