APRÉS Extend Gel Adhesive for Gel‑X Tips — Gold 15 mL Bottle, Soft‑Gel Bonding & Easy Soak‑Off

APRÉS Extend Gel Gold Bottle Edition is a soft-gel adhesive formulated to bond Gel‑X extensions to the natural nail while adding flexibility, strength, and easy removal.

This 15 mL gold bottle contains APRÉS's signature Extend Gel—the original formula the brand started with—designed specifically to secure Gel‑X tips quickly and reliably. The soft-gel consistency makes application smooth, minimizes lifting, and soaks off cleanly with acetone, offering technicians and at-home users an efficient route to long-lasting, damage‑minimized enhancements.

How does APRÉS Extend Gel help my Gel‑X application?

Extend Gel acts as a bonding layer between the natural nail and the Gel‑X tip. It fills gaps, seals edges, and cures to a resilient, slightly flexible finish that resists popping and cracking during normal wear.

• Creates a strong adhesive layer for Gel‑X tips.
• Fills and smooths the contact zone for uniform adhesion.
• Provides flexibility to reduce tip lifting and edge fractures.
• Cures quickly under LED/UV lamps for efficient service time.

What’s the correct way to apply and cure Extend Gel?

Apply a thin, even coat to the natural nail or the Gel‑X tip depending on your technique, seat the tip carefully, then cure according to lamp guidelines. Avoid over‑application—thin layers bond better and remove more predictably.

• Prep nails: clean, dehydrate, and lightly buff the surface.
• Apply a controlled thin layer to the nail or tip and press firmly.
• Cure under LED/UV per lamp instructions until fully set.
• Finish with shaping, overlay, and a topcoat as needed.

How do I remove Extend Gel and Gel‑X extensions safely?

The soft-gel formulation is designed for soak‑off removal. Wrap nails in acetone or use a soak tray for 15–20 minutes, then gently slide the tip off or use a wooden pusher—no aggressive drilling required if fully softened.

• File top layer lightly to break the seal before soaking.
• Soak in acetone 15–20 minutes for reliable softening.
• Gently lift or push off softened extension; avoid forceful prying.
• Rehydrate and treat natural nails after removal.

Why choose the gold 15 mL bottle version?

The 15 mL gold bottle is tailored for portability and salon efficiency—compact but sufficiently sized for regular services. The applicator and bottle design support controlled dispensing for faster, neater application without waste.

• Compact 15 mL size for travel or trial use.
• Gold bottle finish for easy identification on the station.
• User-friendly applicator helps control bead size and placement.
• Same trusted formula APRÉS built its line around.
