APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — Natural Almond Medium, 280 Count | 14 Sizes & Thin Base

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box delivers 280 soft gel nail tips in 14 sizes (00–9) with new half sizes for a faster, more precise fit and a thinner base for minimal filing.

These Almond Gel-X tips are a modern soft-gel extension system engineered for easy application, long wear, and simple soak-off removal. The box includes 280 tips across 14 sizes, now with added half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) to better match natural nail widths. The redesigned construction pairs a thinner base for a seamless bond and less prep with a reinforced free edge for strength and chip resistance. Choose the Natural line for a flatter canvas or the Sculpted line for a higher apex and more dramatic C-curve depending on the nail shape you want to achieve.

How will these Gel-X tips speed up my application process?

Fitting the correct tip size quickly is essential for both salon throughput and at-home convenience. APRÉS included three new half sizes so you can find a closer match without trial-and-error. The thinner base profile reduces the amount of grinding or filing required during prep, cutting minutes off each set.

• 14 sizes total gives broad coverage for every client.
• Half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) improve fit and reduce reshaping time.
• Thinner base lowers filing needs for quicker adhesion.

What makes this Gel-X design more durable than previous versions?

The updated tip geometry balances flexibility and strength by pairing a slimmer base with a thicker free edge. This thicker edge resists cracking and lifts less under normal wear, while the soft-gel material maintains comfort and natural movement. When applied with APRÉS Extend Gel and proper technique, the system holds up well across daily activities.

• Thicker free edge increases impact resistance and longevity.
• Soft gel composition offers flexible, comfortable wear.
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for enhanced bonding and durability.

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

Gel-X tips are formulated from soft gel that is soakable in acetone, allowing for controlled and low-damage removal. Soak the nails until adhesive and tip soften, then gently slide or lift the tip away. Finish by buffing residue and hydrating the nail plate to restore moisture.

• Soak-off with acetone — no forceful prying required.
• Work slowly to protect the natural nail surface.
• Follow with cuticle oil and a light buff to rehydrate nails.

Which line should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

The Natural line offers a flatter top surface and is suited to wider nail beds or looks that emphasize a subtle, natural profile. The Sculpted line provides a pronounced curve and higher apex for a more dramatic extension and a stronger visual arch. Select the line based on the client’s nail anatomy and the final aesthetic you want to deliver.

• Natural: flatter surface, ideal for broader nails and understated length.
• Sculpted: deeper C-curve and apex for long-lasting structural shape.
• Both lines available in all included sizes and half sizes for accurate fitting.
