APRÉS Gel-X Round Box 280 Soft Gel Nail Tips — Natural Round Short, 14 Sizes w/ Half-Sizes, Thinner Base & Reinforced Edge

APRÉS Gel-X® Round Box delivers 280 soft-gel nail tips in 14 sizes (including new half sizes) for fast, durable, salon-quality gel extensions. Experience a redesigned Gel-X system made to speed up sizing and reduce prep time while keeping a strong free edge for wear. This Round Box includes 280 pre-shaped soft-gel tips across sizes 00–9 plus half sizes 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5, giving technicians and at-home users more exact fits. The new thinner base minimizes filing and blends more seamlessly to the natural nail, while the reinforced free edge improves durability. Tips are soakable in acetone for straightforward removal and pair with APRÉS Extend Gel for long-lasting results.

How do the new half sizes change the fit process?

The added half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) fill gaps between standard sizes so you can achieve closer contact at the cuticle and fewer side adjustments. That translates to faster sizing, less trimming, and a smoother finish for a wider range of natural nail shapes.

• 14 sizes total: 00–9 plus three half sizes for better coverage
• More exact fit reduces need for lateral filing and lifting
• Less time spent swapping tips means higher salon throughput

What makes the redesigned Gel-X tip shape better for application?

APRÉS reworked the tip profile with a thinner base and stronger free edge so you get a seamless transition at the nail bed without sacrificing strength at the tip. The thinner base requires minimal filing to blend, while the thicker free edge withstands daily wear and prevents premature breakage.

• Thinner base for near-invisible blending and faster prep
• Thicker free edge for impact resistance and longer wear
• Consistent curvature suitable for natural round short looks

How long do Gel-X extensions last and how are they removed?

When applied with APRÉS Extend Gel and cured properly, Gel-X extensions can wear extremely well for multiple weeks. Removal is straightforward: soak the soft-gel tips in acetone to dissolve or lift the adhesive gel for a low-damage take-off compared with many hard gels or tips.

• Designed to last 4+ weeks with proper application and maintenance
• Soft-gel composition soaks off with acetone—no aggressive prying required
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel and standard gel polish systems

Which look does this Round Box create and how does it compare to Sculpted lines?

The Natural Round Short profile in this box produces a flatter, more natural surface and a gentle, rounded tip—ideal for clients seeking understated, salon-fresh nails. For those wanting pronounced curvature or dramatic apex shaping, the Sculpted line remains the option to choose instead.

• Natural Round Short gives a subtle, flatter look and easy polish application
• Sculpted line offers a more arched profile for dramatic shapes
• Both lines are available so technicians can match service style to client preference

Who is this for? This APRÉS Gel-X Round Box is tailored to professional nail technicians, mobile techs, and dedicated DIYers who want a quick, reliable soft-gel extension system with broader sizing options. If you value precision fit, less filing, and a soak-off removal method that preserves natural nails, this 280-piece set provides the variety and durability to serve multiple clients or long personal use between restyles.
