APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Nail Tips — Natural Stiletto Short, 280 Soft Gel Tips (14 Sizes, Half-Sizes) for Fast Salon Extensions

APRÉS Gel-X® Stiletto Box of Nail Tips delivers 280 soft gel stiletto tips in 14 sizes (including half-sizes) for fast, durable salon-quality extensions with minimal filing.

Designed to speed up application and improve fit, this updated Gel-X kit introduces half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) and a refined tip shape: a thinner base for a seamless bond and a thicker free edge for long-lasting strength. Each box contains a balanced set of Natural Stiletto Short tips across sizes 00–9, compatible with soak-off removal and APRÉS Extend Gel for extended wear. The options between Natural (flatter bed) and Sculpted (higher apex, deeper C-curve) make the set adaptable to varied nail anatomies and aesthetic goals.

How do these Gel-X tips make application faster and neater?

The thinner base profile reduces bulk at the cuticle line so technicians spend less time trimming and filing. Carefully graduated sizing, including new half sizes, increases the chance of an immediate perfect fit, which cuts down glue adjustments and finish work. Together these features shorten chair time while producing a cleaner, more natural-looking result.

• Thin base minimizes filing and blending at the cuticle
• Half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) improve initial fit accuracy
• Pre-shaped stiletto form saves sculpting time
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for secure adhesion

Will these soft gel tips hold up for weeks of wear?

The tips are engineered with a thicker free edge to resist chipping and maintain shape under normal wear. When applied with a proper bonding system and cured correctly, they can stay intact for 4+ weeks. The soft gel material balances flexibility and resilience to reduce lifting while retaining the elegant stiletto silhouette.

• Thicker free edge for impact resistance
• Soft gel provides flexibility to minimize cracking
• Pairs with APRÉS Extend Gel to extend durability
• Designed for long wear when professionally applied

How do I remove Gel-X tips safely?

These Gel-X tips are made from a soakable soft gel that loosens with acetone, enabling removal without aggressive mechanical force. Soak with acetone and allow time for the tip bond to break down before gently easing off. This method reduces damage to the natural nail compared with filing or prying.

• Soak-off with acetone until tips slide off easily
• Avoid force; use gentle pushers or orangewood sticks after softening
• Follow with nail oil and hydration to restore nail health
• Professional removal recommended for best results

Which line should I pick: Natural or Sculpted?

Choose Natural if you want a flatter, broader surface that works well for wider nail beds and easier nail art application. Opt for Sculpted when you prefer a pronounced curve and higher apex for dramatic length and lift. Both lines are available in the same size range and benefit from the improved base and free edge design.

• Natural: flatter surface, ideal for broad nails and smooth overlays
• Sculpted: deeper C-curve, better for dramatic stiletto looks
• Identical size distribution and soak-off soft gel composition
• Compatible with the same application and removal steps
