APRÉS Gel-X Square Short Nail Tips — 280 Soft-Gel Tips, 14 Sizes with Half-Sizes, Natural Finish

APRÉS Gel-X® Square Short Natural Tips are a 280-piece soft-gel nail-tip kit offering 14 sizes (including new half sizes) for fast, low-filing salon-quality extensions that soak off with acetone.

Discover the latest update to the Gel-X system designed to make sizing quicker, reduce prep time, and improve durability. This box includes 280 natural square short tips across 14 sizes (00–9), now with half sizes 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 for better fit. The redesigned profile pairs a thinner base for a seamless blend with a thicker free edge that resists everyday wear, while being removable with acetone when it’s time for a change.

How do these Gel-X tips speed up salon services?

New half sizes and an improved base geometry cut down on time spent finding the right fit and filing. Technicians can achieve a clean, seamless seat with minimal shaping, which shortens service time without sacrificing finish.

• 280 soft-gel tips reduce repeat sizing trips.
• Half sizes 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 improve first-try fit rates.
• Thinner base needs less filing for a smoother blend.
• Pre-shaped square short form speeds sculpting and polish application.

What makes the structural redesign more durable?

The tip profile was reengineered with a thinner base and a thicker free edge, which balances a seamless adhesion zone with a resilient end that withstands everyday use. This design offers strength where chips and breaks most often occur, keeping extensions intact longer.

• Thicker free edge boosts impact resistance at the tip.
• Thinner base improves seat and reduces lifting during wear.
• Soft-gel material provides flexible strength for natural movement.
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for extended wear durability.

How easy is removal and maintenance for clients?

Gel-X tips are formulated for straightforward soak-off removal using acetone, so taking them off is quicker and gentler than many hard-acrylic alternatives. Routine fills require less filing thanks to the base design, helping preserve natural nails between services.

• Soak-off with acetone for clean, low-damage removal.
• Reduced filing conserves natural nail plate health.
• Durable free edge lowers likelihood of mid-wear repairs.
• Works with standard Gel-X application and maintenance steps.

Which product line should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

Choose Natural for a flatter surface and broader contact area—ideal for wider nail beds or clients who prefer a subtle extension. Select Sculpted when you want a pronounced curve, a higher apex, and more dramatic visual shape for slender or concave nail beds.

• Natural line: flatter surface, wider fit, subtle look.
• Sculpted line: higher apex, deeper C-curve, dramatic profile.
• Both lines include the new half sizes for precise matching.
• Compatible with all APRÉS Gel-X application protocols.
