APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — Natural Almond Short, 280 Count; 14 Sizes & Half-Sizes, Thin Base & Strong Edge

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box of Nail Tips is a 280-count set of soft gel almond-shaped extensions in 14 sizes (00–9) with new half-sizes and a redesigned base for quicker fitting and lasting wear.

These Gel-X tips combine a refined structure and an expanded size range so both salon pros and at-home users can achieve comfortable, long-wearing almond nails without excessive shaping. The kit includes 14 sizes and three new half-sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5), offering a closer fit to natural nail beds. Each tip pairs a thinner base—reducing the need for heavy filing—with a reinforced free edge for durability and easier styling. The soft gel material soaks off with acetone, making removal straightforward when desired.

How does the redesigned Gel-X base make application faster?

The updated base is thinner and sits flatter against the natural nail, letting you create a seamless transition with less prep. That means faster buffing and less time spent trying to fake a natural-looking fit. Technicians notice fewer gaps and less filing, while DIY users find matching sizes more forgiving.

• Thinner base reduces filing and blending time
• Flatter surface improves adhesion and appearance
• Designed to pair smoothly with gel adhesives

Will the thicker free edge hold up to daily wear?

The free edge is purposefully built thicker to resist chips and bending while still offering a natural almond silhouette. That balance of a slim base and beefier tip helps the extension maintain shape under normal activities. With proper application and topcoat, many wearers report weeks of intact tip performance.

• Thicker free edge for enhanced strength
• Almond profile keeps a refined, tapered look
• Compatible with gel overlays and top coats for extra protection

How do the new half-sizes improve fit and comfort?

Half-sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) fill gaps between standard sizes so you can pick a closer match to each natural nail. A more accurate fit reduces lifting and eliminates the need for excessive shaping or filling to compensate. That means a quicker service for pros and a more comfortable, natural wear for clients.

• Includes 14 sizes across a full range (00–9) plus three half-sizes
• Better fit lowers risk of gaps and lifting
• Fewer adjustments needed during application

How do I remove these Gel-X tips safely?

APRÉS Gel-X tips are formulated from a soakable soft gel, so removal is performed with acetone like other gel systems. Soak and gently lift the tip once the adhesive and gel have softened—avoid forceful prying to protect the natural nail. Follow up with cuticle oil to rehydrate the nail plate after soak-off.

• Soak-off with acetone for controlled, damage-minimizing removal
• Allow adequate time for adhesive softening before lifting
• Finish with nail oil to restore moisture
