The box contains 280 tips across 14 sizes (00–9) in a sculpted almond long shape, built to pair with Extend Gel for salon-grade results that can hold for 4+ weeks and remove cleanly with acetone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the redesigned Gel-X tips save time during prep?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe thinner base reduces bulk at the cuticle line so you need less filing and blending before application.
