APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Nail Tips — 280 Soft Gel Tips Natural Stiletto Long, 14 Sizes with Half-Sizes for Faster Blending

APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Box delivers 280 soft gel nail tips in 14 sizes (00–9) including new half-sizes for a faster, stronger, salon-quality stiletto extension.

This box of Gel-X Stiletto tips is a redesigned soft-gel extension system that balances a thinner base for easier blending with a thicker free edge for lasting durability. The set includes 280 tips across 14 sizes, now incorporating half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) to improve fit for more nail shapes and minimize prep time. Choose the Natural Stiletto Long option for a flatter profile that suits broader nail beds while preserving the dramatic stiletto silhouette.

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

APRÉS reengineered the base of the Gel-X tip to be thinner, so it blends into the natural nail with less filing and shaping. That means less time at the table and a smoother transition from natural nail to extension. The thinner base also improves adhesion when used with APRÉS Extend Gel and reduces bulk along the cuticle line.

• Thinner base reduces filing and creates a seamless finish
• Included half-sizes speed up proper sizing and fit
• Works with APRÉS Extend Gel for strong bond and smooth overlay
• Reduced prep time means faster service for salons and DIY users

Will these long stiletto tips hold up for weeks of wear?

The tips combine a thinner base with a thicker free edge that absorbs daily wear while preserving the stiletto shape. When applied and sealed correctly with compatible gels, they provide long-lasting extensions designed to stay intact for four weeks or more. The soft-gel composition also resists chipping while remaining flexible under normal wear.

• Thicker free edge adds impact resistance and durability
• Soft-gel formula holds shape without becoming brittle
• Designed to last 4+ weeks with proper application and topcoat
• Compatible with standard LED/UV curing and APRÉS Extend Gel

How do I choose between Natural and Sculpted Gel-X profiles?

The Natural line offers a flatter surface and lower apex, best for wider nail beds or clients who prefer a more subtle profile under polish. The Sculpted line gives a higher apex and deeper C-curve for a dramatic, pronounced stiletto look. Both profiles come in the same size range, so select the profile that matches your client’s natural nail architecture and desired look.

• Natural: flatter surface, ideal for wider nails and easier overlays
• Sculpted: higher apex, stronger C-curve for dramatic extensions
• Both profiles available across 14 sizes with half sizes included
• Mix and match profiles to suit different nail shapes in one salon

What is the removal process and aftercare for Gel-X tips?

Gel-X tips are made of soft gel that soaks off with acetone, making removal straightforward and gentle when done properly. After filing the top layer and breaking the seal, wrap with acetone-soaked cotton and foil or use an electric soak station to lift the tip. Finish with cuticle oil and light buffing to restore nail surface and hydration.

• File top coat to break seal before soaking
• Soak with acetone-wrapped cotton and foil, or use a soak station
• Gently remove lifted tip—avoid force to protect natural nail
• Finish with cuticle oil and light buffing for healthy nails
