There Are So Many Different Tips Out There...which Ones Do You Swear By And What Do You Think Is A Reasonable Price ?
 
Creative Velocity tips for me.

Sometimes paying for the cheaper tips isnt worth it, they are just that .. cheap!
 
I love the INM`s Exact fit tips, no blending and if fitted to someone with good nail plates just follow the tip edge to get the perfect smile lol
i used to get these from creative but they no longer stock INM products so i will be using Creatives performance tips when i need to get some more, more or less the same tip but a little more expensive i think hth
 
Yes but what do you consider to be cheap tho?
 
Ive bought tips from ebay before now they were cheap as chips and were a nightmare to blend, just thick and not flexible when on. I only have myself to blame for this. This was before I found a system I was happy with and before my creative training.
I now use what I was trained to use, and havent had or needed a reason to change.
What tips are you currently using? Are you wanting to change?
 
My main use tips at the moment are the Creative Performance tips, I love how they're so easy to use and cut your service time down. Having said that, they dont suit everyone so I keep a supply of other tips aside. for example, my mother in law has a really deep and square C curve so I like to use eclipse for her. I'm learning how to sculpt at the moment, so I would lile to make sculpts my main preference soon, using tips just for those with no free edge
 
well i have a variety of tips from cheap ones to more pricey ones but at the minute im only practising on a trainer hand but was wondering which ones are gonna be the best to use when i start practising more on real hands..i know for practising purposes its prob best to use cheapy ones but id like to know what everybody else uses on their clients.
 
creative and exflow tips are the best i have used...and value for money....as in... they blend excellently.
I have used cheaper tips...but in the end it costs you money if your spending all your time trying to blend them.

Great point Joanne,

Also I think you would be better off training and practicing with quality tips, therefore you wont be un-doing all your hard work when you come to use different tips than what you are used to.

I use Calgel tips, they do a variety to suit most nail shapes. Good quality = good results, I would think most techs on here mainly use the tips from the comapny they are trained with.

I absolutely agree Joanne.

I have bought cheap tips before (many moons ago).....and ended up just using them to practise my smile lines as they were not the bargain they seemed.

With izzi on this one you are much better to buy good quality tips rather than struggle with cheap ones.
I have some really cheap but rubbish ones and I just use them to practise different designs.:hug:
 
If I try other tips I always end up going back to my faithful Creative Veloicity - money well spent in my opinion :)
