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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do the new half sizes improve fit and prep time?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe added half sizes reduce guesswork and the need for heavy reshaping by offering intermediate widths between existing sizes.
