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.

Carefully graduated sizing, including new half sizes, increases the chance of an immediate perfect fit, which cuts down glue adjustments and finish work.

Opt for Sculpted when you prefer a pronounced curve and higher apex for dramatic length and lift.
