I love the flexi soft gel tips or rather full cover tips, they've made my life so much easier since doing my own nails more frequently and the fact that they're pre-etched is even better. However, with that said I find them to be kind of wide so they end up looking bulky if I don't file it narrower. Would have liked if I could just fit and go. It's also not as short as you might think for something titled 'extra short' but this ended up being the length I was looking for instead of their 'short'.
