Gel Nail Tips, Soft Gel Tips & Top Forms for Nail Extensions

Gel nail tips are pre-shaped nail extension forms applied directly to the natural nail with builder gel, creating a structured extension without the need to sculpt over a paper form. This collection covers the full range of professional gel tips and top forms: standard transparent gel tips in a wide variety of shapes, matte-finish tips, colored soft gel tips, bulk soft gel tips for high-volume use, branded top forms and dual forms, and silicone molds for specialty extension techniques.

Products are suited to licensed nail technicians and nail artists who perform gel tip extensions as part of their service menu. Gel tips are faster to apply than sculpted extensions and provide a consistent pre-shaped structure, making them a practical choice for technicians who work at high volume or who prefer a tip-based extension method.

Types of Gel Nail Tips and Top Forms

The collection is organized across several tip formats, each suited to a different application method, nail shape preference, or service volume.

Standard Transparent Gel Tips (240 pcs sets)

Unbranded transparent gel tips in 240-piece sets are the core format in the collection. They are available in a wide range of nail shapes and two surface finishes.

• Glossy transparent tips — available in almond, stiletto, long stiletto, ballerina, wide ballerina, oval, short oval, square, and arched square shapes. Suited to gel polish overlay and standard gel extension services where a clear, glossy tip is preferred.
• Matte transparent tips — available in stiletto, almond, oval, and ballerina shapes. The matte surface provides a different texture from standard glossy tips and may suit specific application techniques or client preferences.
• XXL tips — XXL Ballerina and XXL Square (240 pcs each) for clients who request extra-long extensions beyond standard tip lengths.
• Colored soft gel tips — available in Raspberry, Turquoise, Brown, Blue, Pink, and Green (240 pcs each). Colored tips are suited to clients who want a tinted extension base or for specific nail art techniques.

Standard 240-piece sets suit regular salon use. Glossy tips are the most versatile format for gel polish overlay. Matte tips suit technicians who prefer a matte working surface. XXL tips suit clients who request dramatic length.

Bulk Soft Gel Tips (400–550 pcs)

Unbranded bulk soft gel tips are available in larger quantities suited to high-volume salons where tip extensions are performed frequently. All bulk tips are transparent.

• Coffin / ballerina — Short Coffin (550 pcs), Medium Coffin #1–#5 (550 pcs each), Long Coffin #1 (500 pcs), Long Coffin #2 (440 pcs). The coffin shape is one of the most requested nail shapes and is well represented across short, medium, and long lengths.
• Stiletto — Short Stiletto #1 (550 pcs), Medium Stiletto #1 (500 pcs), Medium Stiletto #2 (550 pcs), Long Stiletto #1 (550 pcs). Available across short, medium, and long lengths.
• Almond — Medium Almond #1 (550 pcs).
• French Bamboo — French Bamboo #1 (400 pcs), a specialty shape suited to French tip extensions.

Bulk sets reduce per-tip cost for high-volume salons. The coffin shape has the widest selection of length and style variants in the bulk range, making it practical for salons where coffin extensions are frequently requested.

Top Forms and Dual Forms (Branded)

Top forms and dual forms are rigid or semi-rigid pre-shaped tips applied with builder gel, providing more structure than soft gel tips. The collection includes branded top forms from Adore Professional and Karo.

• Adore Professional SPLETNIca gel tips — Square XS (240 pcs), Stiletto XXL (240 pcs), and Coffin XXL (240 pcs). The SPLETNIca line covers three shapes in specific size extremes: extra-small square and extra-large stiletto and coffin.
• Adore Professional Funky gel tips — Mix Funky (240 pcs) and Funky Square Short (240 pcs). The Funky line offers a mixed-shape set and a short square option.
• Adore Professional PRO and Dual forms — PRO Square High Arc (120 pcs) and Dual Type 2 Medium Arc (120 pcs). These are top forms with defined arc heights suited to different nail bed shapes and extension techniques.
• Karo top forms — Square, Right Square, Large Square, Half Square, Half Almond, and Ballet (120 pcs each). Karo offers six shape variants focused on square and almond-adjacent shapes, with the Ballet option for ballerina-style extensions.

Top forms and dual forms provide more structural rigidity than soft gel tips and are suited to technicians who prefer a firmer working surface. Arc height selection (high arc vs. medium arc) depends on the client's natural nail curvature.

Silicone Molds

A set of 144 silicone molds for nail extensions is available for specialty extension techniques where a reusable mold format is preferred over disposable tips or forms.

How to Choose Gel Nail Tips

Selecting the right tips depends on the client's desired nail shape, the service volume, and the technician's preferred application method.

• Nail shape — select the tip shape based on the client's request: coffin/ballerina, stiletto, almond, square, arched square, oval, or French bamboo. The coffin and stiletto shapes have the widest selection of length variants in this collection.
• Length — short, medium, and long variants are available in coffin and stiletto shapes. XXL tips suit clients who request extra-long extensions. Select based on the client's natural nail length and the desired finished length.
• Finish — glossy transparent tips are the standard format for gel polish overlay. Matte tips suit specific application preferences. Colored tips suit clients who want a tinted base or specific nail art effects.
• Tip format — soft gel tips (standard and bulk) are flexible and suited to most gel extension techniques. Top forms and dual forms provide more rigidity and are suited to technicians who prefer a structured working surface. Silicone molds are reusable and suited to specialty techniques.
• Volume — 240-piece sets suit regular salon use. Bulk sets (400–550 pcs) suit high-volume salons where tip extensions are performed daily. 120-piece top form sets suit lower-volume use or technicians who stock multiple shapes.
• Arc height (top forms) — Adore Professional PRO forms are available in high arc and medium arc. Select based on the client's natural nail curvature to ensure proper fit and adhesion.

For a complete tip extension setup, stocking a standard transparent tip in the most-requested shapes (coffin, almond, square), a bulk set for the highest-demand shape, and a top form option for clients with specific nail bed curvature covers the core requirements for most nail extension service menus.

How to Use Gel Nail Tips

Gel tips are applied to the prepared natural nail using builder gel as the adhesive and overlay material. The tip is sized to fit the natural nail, positioned at the free edge or over the full nail plate depending on the tip type, and cured under a UV/LED lamp. After curing, the tip is shaped and filed to the desired length and contour, then finished with gel polish or top coat. Top forms and dual forms are applied in the same way but removed after curing, leaving the shaped gel extension on the nail. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific tip type and builder gel being used.

Professional Brands

Two named brands are represented in this collection alongside a wide range of unbranded professional-grade tips.

Adore Professional offers the most extensive branded tip range in the collection across three distinct lines. The SPLETNIca line covers Square XS, Stiletto XXL, and Coffin XXL (240 pcs each) — targeting size extremes within three popular shapes. The Funky line offers a Mix set and a Square Short option (240 pcs each) for technicians who want variety or a compact square format. The PRO and Dual form lines (120 pcs each) provide top forms in high arc and medium arc heights, suited to different nail bed curvatures. The breadth of the Adore Professional range makes it a practical single-brand source for both gel tips and top forms.

Karo provides six top form shapes (120 pcs each): Square, Right Square, Large Square, Half Square, Half Almond, and Ballet. The Karo range is focused on square and almond-adjacent shapes with multiple square variants — standard, right, large, and half — giving technicians precise shape options within the square family. The Ballet option extends the range to ballerina-style extensions.

The remaining products — standard transparent tips, matte tips, XXL tips, colored soft gel tips, bulk soft gel tips, and the silicone mold set — are unbranded professional-grade consumables suited to general nail extension use.

What Else Professionals May Need

Gel tips are used alongside builder gel and other nail extension products. Nail technicians who stock gel tips typically also need the following.

• Builder gel and liquid gel — required for adhering and overlaying gel tips; available in the Nail extensions collection
• UV/LED nail lamp — required for curing builder gel applied over tips; curing time varies by product and lamp
• Nail files and buffers — for shaping and refining the tip extension after curing
• Nail primer and bonder — applied to the natural nail before tip application to improve adhesion
• Gel polish and top coat — applied over the finished tip extension for color and protection; available in the Nails collection
• Nail extension forms — for sculpted extension techniques as an alternative to tips; available in the Nail extensions collection

Builder gels, nail extension forms, gel polish, and complementary nail products are available in the Nails collection at Beauty Hunter.
