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

APRÉS Gel-X Almond Box delivers 280 soft-gel nail tips in 14 sizes (including new half sizes) engineered for fast fitting, strong free edges, and easy soak-off removal.

These Gel-X® Almond Short tips combine a newly refined base profile and a beefed-up free edge to give salon-quality soft-gel extensions that require less filing, fit more nail shapes, and hold up for weeks. Each box contains 280 tips across 14 sizes (00–9) with added half sizes 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 so matching is quicker and more precise. Choose between Natural (flatter surface) and Sculpted (higher apex and deeper C-curve) lines to suit wide or narrow nail beds.

How do the redesigned Gel-X tips make application faster?

The updated Gel-X tips feature a thinner base for a smoother, low-profile junction between natural nail and extension, cutting down on the amount of filing and shaping required. Fewer prep minutes translate to faster service times without sacrificing a seamless finish.

• Thinner base reduces bulk and minimizes filing during prep.
• Precise half sizes speed up the selection process and reduce trimming.
• Consistent curvature allows predictable placement and uniform results.

Will these Almond Short tips hold up for long wear?

Yes — the thicker free edge built into each tip strengthens high-wear areas so extensions resist lifting and chipping for prolonged wear when combined with proper application and APRÉS Extend Gel. The soft-gel construction balances flexibility and durability for natural movement without cracking.

• Thicker free edge improves impact resistance at the tip.
• Soft-gel material flexes with the nail to lower breakage risk.
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for 4+ week longevity when applied correctly.

How do I choose between Natural and Sculpted lines?

Natural line tips present a flatter surface and are ideal for wider nail beds or clients who prefer a subtler profile. Sculpted line tips have a more pronounced curve and higher apex for dramatic, structural enhancement and are better for narrow nails or clients seeking a sculpted finish.

• Natural: flatter platform, easier for broad nail coverage.
• Sculpted: deeper C-curve, enhanced apex and visual length.
• Both lines include the same half sizes and structural redesigns for fit and strength.

What does removal and aftercare look like?

Gel-X tips are formulated as soft gel and can be safely removed by soaking with acetone, which simplifies the salon removal routine and reduces mechanical filing. After soak-off, follow with standard nail hydration and nail bed care to maintain natural nail health.

• Soak-off method with acetone for straightforward removal.
• Minimal scraping required when properly lifted after soaking.
• Finish with cuticle oil and gentle buffing to restore the natural nail surface.
