Half Cover Nail Tips

Calyx Half Cover Nail Tips are crafted for nail technicians who need control, consistency and a natural finish when building extensions. A balanced structure and easy‑to‑blend contact zone give a strong base for acrylic or builder‑gel enhancements—with no extra bulk near the cuticle.

What Are Half Cover Nail Tips?

Half cover nail tips cover only the free‑edge part of the natural nail, leaving the cuticle and nail plate exposed. This lets technicians blend the tip smoothly into the natural nail for a thin, natural line. They are ideal for acrylic or builder‑gel systems because the product bonds directly to the nail plate, giving extra strength without bulk at the cuticle.

Why Choose Calyx Half Cover Nail Tips?

✅ Natural Blending

Calyx half cover tips blend easily into the natural nail surface. They’re designed to be placed only near the free edge of the nail, leaving the cuticle area exposed. This helps create a clean and natural transition that’s ideal for acrylic or builder gel applications—no overlays or polish needed.

✅ Balanced Structure

Each tip is made with a consistent thickness and gentle apex to provide support and flexibility. Whether you’re doing short or long nails, they stay secure without putting pressure on the natural nail.

✅ Effortless Application

The surface of the tips is smooth and clean, which allows glue to stick well and minimizes the need for extra filing. This makes your nail prep faster and more efficient in busy salon settings.

✅ Customizable Shape & Length

You can easily file and shape these tips into your favorite styles like almond, coffin, square, or stiletto. They give you the creative freedom to match each client’s preference without sacrificing strength.

✅ High-Quality Construction

Calyx tips are made with strong yet flexible ABS plastic that doesn’t crack or split easily. They’re built for professional use and long wear, especially with acrylic or builder gel systems.

✅ Wide Range of Sizes

Each box includes a wide range of sizes to match all nail beds comfortably, making application easy and reducing the need for resizing or reshaping.

 1️⃣ Prepare the Natural Nails 
- Start by gently pushing back the cuticles and removing any leftover skin from the nail plate. 
- Lightly buff the nail surface to remove shine, then clean it using a nail dehydrator followed by a primer. 
- Make sure nails are dry and free of oils before you begin. 

2️⃣ Choose and Buff the Tips 
- Pick the correct size tip for each nail so it fits edge-to-edge without pressure. 
- Lightly buff the contact area under the tip where it will touch the natural nail to help the glue bond better. 

3️⃣ Apply with Nail Glue 
- Apply a thin layer of nail glue to the inside contact zone of the tip or directly on the natural nail’s free edge.
 - Position the tip so it covers only the free edge (not the full nail plate).
 - Press and hold for 10–15 seconds until the glue sets and the tip is secured without air bubbles. 

4️⃣ Blend the Tip Seam 
- Once the tip is secure, gently blend the tip’s edge into the natural nail using a file or fine sanding band.
 - This will remove any visible line and help the finished nail look more natural. 

5️⃣ Apply Acrylic or Builder Gel 
- After blending, apply acrylic or builder gel over the entire nail and tip to build strength and shape.
 - Shape and finish the enhancement as required, then cure or allow it to set depending on the product you use.
