APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Nail Tips — Natural Extra Short, 280 Soft Gel Tips, 14 Sizes & Half-Sizes

APRÉS Gel-X Stiletto Tips are an all-in-one box of 280 soft gel nail extensions—14 sizes including new half sizes—engineered for a seamless fit, strong free edges, and easy soak-off removal.

These Natural Stiletto Extra Short Gel-X Tips are the newest evolution of the soft-gel extension system. APRÉS redesigned the tip geometry to reduce base thickness for faster blending while reinforcing the free edge for lasting strength. With 280 pieces and both full and half sizes (00–9 plus 4.5, 5.5, 6.5), the kit helps technicians and at-home users find ideal fits faster, minimize filing time, and create consistent stiletto shapes that last for weeks when paired with Extend Gel.

How do the new half sizes improve fit and prep time?

The added half sizes reduce guesswork and the need for heavy reshaping by offering intermediate widths between existing sizes. That means fewer mismatches, less tapping between sizes, and a quicker selection process at the station or vanity.

• Includes half sizes 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 for tighter fitting pairs
• Fewer swaps and less trimming during sizing
• Smoother base contact reduces filing time before gel application

What structural changes make these Gel-X tips more durable?

APRÉS refined the tip profile with a thinner base and a thicker free edge so the area that bonds to the natural nail blends more easily while the edge resists chips and breaks. The result is a tip that sands and sculpts cleanly without compromising the strength where it matters most.

• Thinner base for a seamless, low-bulk look after blending
• Reinforced free edge for impact resistance and longevity
• Consistent stiletto apex shape to simplify topcoat application

How long will results last and how are the tips removed?

When applied correctly and finished with APRÉS Extend Gel, Gel-X extensions commonly hold up for 4+ weeks depending on wear and maintenance. The soft-gel formula soaks off with acetone, making safe removal straightforward without aggressive filing.

• Designed to deliver long-wear results when layered with Extend Gel
• Soak-off removal with acetone for gentle tip takeoff
• Recommended professional or careful at-home removal to protect the natural nail

Which line should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

Pick the Natural line if you prefer a flatter surface and a gentler C-curve, which suits wider nail beds and creates a more conservative stiletto. Choose the Sculpted line for a pronounced curve and higher apex when aiming for dramatic length and stronger visual arch.

• Natural line: flatter profile, ideal for broader nails and subtle looks
• Sculpted line: deeper C-curve and higher apex for bold styling
• Both lines include the same updated base and reinforced free edge engineering
