APRÉS Gel-X Round Soft Gel Nail Tips — 280 Tips, Natural Round Short, 14 Sizes w/ Half Sizes for Minimal Filing

Built for nail pros and at-home artists, this updated Gel-X set from APRÉS combines a thinner base for minimal filing with a reinforced free edge for long-wearing strength. The box contains 280 Natural Round short tips across 14 sizes including the new half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) so you can find closer fits with fewer gaps and less prep. These soft-gel tips soak off with acetone and pair with Extend Gel to create polished extensions that can hold up through everyday wear.

How does the new Gel-X redesign make application easier?

The redesigned tip base is thinner and sits flatter against the natural nail, meaning less buffing and fewer adjustments before adhesion. A sleeker junction leads to faster prep, cleaner results, and a smoother finish under gel overlays.

• Thinner base reduces the need for aggressive filing.
• Flatter contact area minimizes air pockets and lift.
• Clear sizing lineup with half sizes improves first-fit success.

Will these tips hold up over weeks of wear?

Each tip features a thicker free edge designed to resist splitting and daily impact while the soft-gel body flexes with natural nail movement. When applied with the recommended APRÉS Extend Gel system, the combination balances resilience with a comfortable, natural feel.

• Thicker free edge for strength at the tip.
• Soft-gel composition reduces brittle breakage.
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for durable adhesion.

How do I remove and replace Gel-X tips safely?

These Gel-X tips are formulated for soak-off removal using acetone, making replacements straightforward without heavy drilling. Soak times vary by product layering, but soft-gel tips generally lift smoothly after adequate acetone exposure and gentle mechanical assistance.

• Soak with acetone for thorough softening.
• Gently slide or lift tips after adhesive softens—avoid excessive force.
• Clean and prep the natural nail before reapplication for best results.

Which sizes and shapes are included and how do I choose the best fit?

This box contains 280 Natural Round short tips across 14 sizes (00 through 9) with half-size options (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) to better match nail plates. Choose the closest width to the natural nail edge for minimal trimming; select a slightly smaller size if you prefer more filing for a perfect contour.

• 14 sizes (00–9) cover very narrow to wide nail beds.
• Half sizes reduce gap, lowering the need for bridging or heavy shaping.
• Natural Round short profile suits a variety of nail shapes and lengths.

Who is this for? APRÉS Gel-X Round Box is ideal for professional nail technicians, mobile techs, and serious DIY enthusiasts who want salon-quality, soft-gel extensions with less prep time. If you value a wide size range, durable free edges, and straightforward soak-off removal, this kit gives the flexibility and inventory needed for multiple clients or frequent home use.
