APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — 280 Soft Gel Tips, 14 Sizes with Half Sizes, Sculpted Almond Medium

APRÉS Gel-X® Almond Box delivers 280 soft gel nail tips in 14 sizes (00–9) with new half sizes and a redesigned base for a seamless, long-lasting almond extension.

Built for both salon pros and at-home artists, this updated Gel-X set refines fit and strength so you spend less time shaping and more time styling. The kit includes Sculpted Almond Medium tips across 14 size options with added half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5), a thinner base to minimize filing, and a reinforced free edge for durability. These soak-off soft gel tips pair with Extend Gel for multi-week wear and are available in Natural (flatter surface) or Sculpted (pronounced curve) profiles to match different nail architectures.

How do the new half sizes make finding the right tip easier?

Half sizes add intermediate widths that reduce the need to file down or stretch a tip to fit the nail plate. That means less thinning at the sidewalls, a neater cuticle line, and faster prep overall for consistent results across clients.

• Includes 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 for finer fit gradations
• Reduces excessive trimming and reshaping time
• Helps maintain natural nail integrity at the edges
• Makes shade and shape matching more precise for each client

What makes the redesigned Gel-X tip structure better for application and wear?

The updated tip geometry balances a thinner base with a thicker free edge so you get a smooth bond at the cuticle with increased impact resistance at the tip. The thinner base cuts down on filing and trimming, while the thicker distal area resists chipping and lifting through everyday activity.

• Thinner base for minimal filing and seamless adhesion
• Thicker free edge for strength and long wear
• Pre-shaped almond medium profile for consistent salon results
• Soft gel material designed for reliable soak-off removal

Which profile should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

Pick Natural when you want a flatter platform suited to wider nail beds or designs that require more surface area. Opt for Sculpted when you want a higher apex and deeper C-curve for dramatic lift, visible contour, and built-in strength under polish or sculpting gel.

• Natural: flatter surface, ideal for broad nails and easy polish application
• Sculpted: pronounced curve for high-impact shapes and stronger apex
• Both lines available in the same size range for consistent selection
• Compatible with Extend Gel for professional finish

How do I remove and maintain Gel-X tips safely?

Because Gel-X tips are made from soft gel, removal is a simple soak-off process using acetone rather than forceful prying. Routine maintenance includes gentle buffing during fills and avoiding oil-free prep products that interfere with adhesion.

• Soak off with acetone for easy, damage-minimizing removal
• File lightly at the free edge for quick reshaping
• Use dehydrator and proper primer for secure bonds
• Pair with Extend Gel for lasting wear of 4+ weeks when applied correctly
