APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — Natural Almond Long, 280 Soft-Gel Tips, 14 Sizes & Half Sizes

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box delivers 280 soft-gel, natural-almond nail tips in 14 sizes (including new half sizes) for fast-fit, long-lasting nail extensions.

These pre-shaped Gel-X tips are crafted to simplify extension services and at-home application by combining a thinner base for smoother blending with a thicker free edge for added strength. The set includes half sizes 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5 to better match more natural nail beds, and offers two profile options—Natural for a flatter surface and Sculpted for a pronounced curve—so you can pick the look and fit that works best. Soft-gel construction soaks off with acetone, while compatibility with extension gels gives reliable wear.

How do these Gel-X tips make salon or at-home application quicker?

APRÉS Gel-X Almond tips come pre-shaped and pre-sized to reduce shaping and prepping time. The thinner base requires less filing at the cuticle and creates a seamless join with the natural nail, speeding the overall service.

• 280 tips across 14 sizes minimize time spent finding the right fit.
• Half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) cut down on swapping and reshaping.
• Thinner base means less filing and faster adhesion prep.
• Pre-formed almond shape reduces sculpting during application.

What durability and wear can I expect from these soft-gel tips?

These Gel-X tips are engineered with a reinforced free edge to resist splitting while maintaining flexible comfort. When applied with APRÉS Extend Gel and cured properly, they can deliver weeks of wear with intact structure.

• Thicker free edge adds chip and break resistance at the tip.
• Soft-gel composition flexes with natural nail movement to reduce lifting.
• Compatible with extension gels to enhance retention and finish.
• Typical wear extends multiple weeks under normal wear conditions.

How do I choose between the Natural and Sculpted lines?

Choose Natural for a flatter profile that suits wider or flatter nail beds and offers an easier canvas for polish. Pick Sculpted when you want a higher apex and pronounced C-curve for a dramatic, salon-style silhouette.

• Natural line: flatter surface, ideal for broad natural nails and smoother polish application.
• Sculpted line: deeper curve and higher apex for a contoured, lifted look.
• Both lines are available in the same 14-size range including half sizes.
• Select based on natural nail shape and desired finished appearance.

What is the removal and aftercare process like?

Because these tips are made from soft gel, removal is straightforward with acetone soaks rather than aggressive mechanical filing. After removal, follow basic nail care to restore moisture and strength.

• Soak with acetone until the soft gel loosens, then gently remove.
• Avoid excessive prying or scraping to protect the natural nail plate.
• Follow with cuticle oil and a strengthening treatment after removal.
• Store unused tips in a cool, dry place away from direct light.

Who is this for: The APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box of 280 Tips suits professional nail technicians who need a broad range of sizes and quick-fit options, as well as experienced DIYers who want salon-style extensions at home. It’s ideal for clients seeking an almond silhouette with minimal prep, those with hard-to-fit nail beds who benefit from half sizes, and users who prefer a soak-off soft-gel system that pairs with extension gel products.
