APRÉS Gel-X Nail Tips, Natural Round Extra Short — 280 soft-gel tips, 14 sizes & half-sizes, thinner base for faster prep

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

These Gel-X tips are the latest iteration of APRÉS's soft gel extension system, redesigned to combine an easier application process with long-wearing performance. Each box contains 280 tips across 14 sizes, now including half-sizes 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 to bridge common fit gaps. The tips have a flatter "Natural" profile and a stronger free edge, made to pair with APRÉS Extend Gel and to soak off cleanly with acetone when removal is needed.

How do these Gel-X tips simplify salon and at-home application?

The thinner base of the new Gel-X tips reduces how much filing you must do before bonding, speeding up prep time and creating a more seamless transition at the cuticle. Their soft gel material bends slightly for easier placement and conforms to the natural nail plate for better adhesion.

• Reduced base thickness cuts down filing and shaping.
• Soft gel flexibility helps seat the tip flush to the nail.
• Pre-sized variety and new half-sizes lower the need for sizing swaps.
• Designed to pair with APRÉS Extend Gel for secure bonds.

Will these tips last through daily wear and tear?

Gel-X tips are built with a thicker free edge to resist chipping and maintain structure under normal activities. When applied correctly with APRÉS Extend Gel and proper curing, customers typically see strong wear that remains intact for multiple weeks without lifting.

• Thicker free edge for impact resistance and durability.
• Soft gel composition balances flexibility and strength.
• Compatibility with APRÉS systems helps optimize longevity.
• Appropriate for both active lifestyles and professional service settings.

How do I choose the right size and profile for a client?

The box includes sizes 00–9 with three new half-sizes to help you match the nail plate more precisely. Choose the Natural (flatter) profile if the client’s nail is broad or flat, and select Sculpted when a more pronounced curvature is desired for a contoured fit.

• Size range covers very small to larger nail plates with half-sizes for fine adjustments.
• Natural profile suits flatter nail shapes for a smooth surface.
• Sculpted profile provides extra curvature for deeper C-curve looks.
• Try sample sizes on each nail before full application for best fit.
