APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Nail Tips — 280 Soft Gel Tips, Natural Stiletto Medium, 14 Sizes with Half Sizes for Fast Application

APRÉS Gel-X® Stiletto Box delivers 280 soft-gel stiletto nail tips in 14 sizes (including new half sizes) for fast, durable, salon-quality extensions that soak off with acetone.

Designed to streamline extension services and at-home routines alike, this updated Gel-X set brings practical refinements to shape, fit, and strength. The set includes 14 distinct sizes ranging 00–9 and now adds half sizes 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 to cut down on time spent sizing. Each tip combines a thinner base for a seamless blend with a reinforced free edge for greater longevity, making it easier to achieve a natural-looking stiletto silhouette with minimal filing.

How does the redesigned Gel-X shape improve application speed?

The thinner base on each Aprés Gel-X tip reduces the need for heavy filing and base-layer correction, speeding up prep time. Paired with half sizes, technicians can select a closer match to natural nails in fewer tries, which lowers service times and waste.

• Thinner base requires less buffing for a seamless bond.
• Included half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) reduce time spent testing fits.
• Larger free edge thickness prevents lifting and breakage during wear.

What kind of durability and wear can I expect from these stiletto tips?

The Gel-X material balances flexibility with a thicker free edge engineered for strength, so stiletto shapes hold their form while resisting chips. When combined with Aprés Extend Gel, these tips provide reliable wear for four weeks or more under normal wear conditions.

• Thicker free edge for impact resistance at the tip.
• Soft-gel composition flexes with the natural nail to minimize lift.
• Works with Extend Gel for extended wear longevity.

Which line should I pick: Natural or Sculpted?

Natural Gel-X tips sit flatter across the nail bed and suit wider or flatter nails, offering a smoother canvas for clients who prefer subtle enhancement. Sculpted tips have a pronounced curve and higher apex suited to deeply arched natural nails or clients seeking a dramatic stiletto profile.

• Natural — flatter surface, ideal for broad nail shapes and ease of polish application.
• Sculpted — pronounced C-curve and apex for sculpted, salon-style stiletto looks.
• Both varieties are soakable with acetone for straightforward removal.

How easy is removal and maintenance for technicians and DIY users?

Because Gel-X tips are made from soft gel, they are designed to soak off with standard acetone, simplifying removal without aggressive filing. Routine upkeep is the same as other soft-gel extensions: gentle fills when needed and proper cuticle prep to ensure longevity between services.

• Soak-off removal with acetone—no extensive filing required.
• Minimal maintenance during wear thanks to resilient free edge.
• Compatible with typical salon adhesives and Aprés Extend Gel.
