APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — Natural Almond Short, 280 Count; 14 Sizes & Half-Sizes, Low-Filing Base

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Tips are a ready-to-apply soft gel extension system offering 280 almond-shaped tips in 14 sizes (including new half sizes) for faster, stronger, and more precise fits.

Designed for technicians and at-home nail artists alike, this updated Gel-X collection brings a slimmer base for a flush, low-filing application plus a reinforced free edge for long-lasting wear. Each box contains a balanced assortment of 14 sizes—from 00 to 9—with newly added half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) so you can match more nail beds without modification. The Natural line provides a flatter surface ideal for wider nails, while the Sculpted option delivers a higher apex and deeper C-curve for a dramatic, salon-ready silhouette.

How do these Gel-X tips speed up salon or at-home services?

Because the base is reshaped to sit closer to the natural nail, prepping and filing time is reduced. That means quicker set-up for full sets and less finishing work after adhesion. The result is a more efficient appointment flow and less mechanical wear on natural nails.

• Thinner base reduces the need for heavy filing
• Wide size range and half sizes minimize reshaping
• Pre-curved profile fits common nail shapes for faster placement

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

Gel-X tips combine a thicker free edge with flexible soft gel so they withstand everyday activities while maintaining a natural feel. When applied with Extend Gel and proper technique, they deliver multi-week wear with reduced lifting compared to many alternatives. They are also formulated to soak off cleanly using acetone for straightforward removal.

• Reinforced free edge for strength and chip resistance
• Flexible soft gel minimizes pressure on the natural nail
• Compatible with Extend Gel system for secure adhesion and lasting results

Which line should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

Pick Natural if you prefer a flatter platform that suits wider nail beds and creates a modern, subtle look. Choose Sculpted when you want a pronounced arch and deeper C-curve for lengthened appearance and more dramatic shapes. Both options use the same redesigned base and half-size availability to ensure a precise fit.

• Natural line: lower profile, ideal for broader nails and minimalist finishes
• Sculpted line: higher apex and curve for intense shape and lift
• Same soak-off soft gel material regardless of line

How do the new half sizes improve fit and finish?

Adding sizes 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 fills common gaps between whole sizes, reducing the need to file, edge, or glue multiple tips together. This creates cleaner sidewalls and better weight distribution across the nail, so extensions look more natural and last longer. Half sizes are particularly helpful for clients with irregular or tapered nail beds.

• More precise sizing reduces trimming and reshaping
• Improved sidewall alignment for a seamless appearance
• Less corrective filing conserves natural nail health

If you value a complete kit of sizes, long-lasting wear with a natural flex, and straightforward acetone removal, this 280-count Almond Short set offers versatility and predictable results for clients of many nail shapes and lifestyles.
