Half-well tips are best suited for which type of nail beds?

Half-well tips are designed to provide a balance between support and flexibility, making them particularly suitable for short natural nail beds. When the nail bed is shorter, using a half-well tip helps in achieving a more natural appearance while ensuring that the tip properly adheres to the natural nail. This design allows for easier application since it requires less length to properly fit and blend with the existing nail structure.

In addition, half-well tips can help create a more comfortable fit for those with shorter nails, preventing issues such as lifting or discomfort that can arise with longer or full-well tips. The shorter design of the half-well allows the technician to effectively shape and style the nail without overwhelming the natural nail bed, making it an ideal choice in this context.
