APRÉS Gel-X Almond Nail Tips — Sculpted Almond 280-Count Soft-Gel Extensions, 14 Sizes with Half-Sizes, Thin Base

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box of Nail Tips delivers 280 soft-gel, sculpted almond extensions in 14 sizes (00–9) including half-sizes for a faster, precise fit.

Designed for both salon professionals and at-home nail artists, this updated Gel-X kit improves fit and finish with a thinner base for minimal filing and a reinforced free edge for long-lasting wear. The box includes three new half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) so you can match more natural nail shapes quickly. Choose the Sculpted Almond shape for a pronounced curve and higher apex, or the Natural line when you want a flatter profile — both soak off easily with acetone.

How does the new Gel-X redesign speed up tip selection and prep?

The expanded size range and slimmer base reduce time spent sizing and shaping. Half-sizes bridge gaps between standard sizes so fewer tips need to be modified, and the thinner collar means less filing at the cuticle line for a cleaner, faster bond.

• 14 sizes, including 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 half-sizes for precise fits
• Thinner base reduces prep time and visible seams
• Pre-shaped almond sculpt reduces shaping steps

What makes these Gel-X tips durable yet easy to remove?

Each tip is crafted from soft gel with a thicker free edge that resists chipping and lift while remaining soakable with acetone. The material strikes a balance between flexible wear and structural strength so extensions last multiple weeks without brittle failure.

• Thicker free edge for impact resistance and longevity
• Soft-gel composition soaks off cleanly with acetone
• Engineered curve maintains shape under daily wear

Which shape and line should I pick: Sculpted or Natural?

Sculpted Gel-X Almond tips offer a deeper C-curve and higher apex for a dramatic, salon-style extension. The Natural line has a flatter top suited to wider nail beds and clients who prefer a subtle, closer-to-the-nail appearance. Both lines are available in the full size range to accommodate varied natural nail anatomy.

• Sculpted: pronounced curve, higher apex, dramatic silhouette
• Natural: flatter surface, ideal for broad nail beds and subtle looks
• Both lines included in the same application workflow and removal process

How do professionals and beginners apply these Gel-X tips?

Application follows a familiar soft-gel extension routine and is approachable for skilled technicians and confident DIYers. Prep the natural nail, select the correct size, apply Extend Gel or adhesive, seat the tip, cure under LED/UV, and finish with minimal filing thanks to the slender base profile.

• Prep nails by pushing back cuticles and removing shine
• Select the best-fitting size using half-sizes for accuracy
• Apply Extend Gel, seat tip, cure, then shape and finish
