APRÉS Gel-X nail tips 280-count Natural Square Extra Short — 14 sizes + half-sizes, slim base & reinforced edge

APRÉS Gel-X Square Box of Nail Tips is a 280-count kit of soft gel extensions in 14 sizes (including new half-sizes) designed for fast fitting, minimal filing, and long-lasting wear.

These Gel-X tips update the soft-gel extension standard with a slimmer base for a smooth seat and a reinforced free edge for durability. The box contains 280 pre-shaped tips across 14 sizes (00–9) including the newly added half sizes 4.5, 5.5 and 6.5, and is available in the Natural Square Extra Short profile—ideal for clients who want a shorter, square silhouette with easy prep and soak-off removal. Whether you operate a busy salon station or prefer at-home upgrades, these tips are built to speed up application while delivering a professional finish.

How do these Gel-X tips speed up application?

The redesigned base is thinner so the tip seats onto the natural nail with less bulk, reducing the need for aggressive filing and sculpting. That smoother fit shortens prep time and helps technicians move through services faster with consistent results.

• Reduced filing thanks to a slim, contoured base
• Pre-shaped square extra short silhouette for quick placement
• Half sizes included for faster size matching

Will these tips hold up for weekly wear and active clients?

Each tip has a thicker free edge that increases impact resistance at the stress point, so the extensions resist lifting and chipping during everyday activities. When paired with a compatible builder or Extend Gel and proper application, they provide several weeks of intact wear.

• Thickened free edge for added strength
• Soft gel material flexes with the natural nail
• Designed for 4+ week wear with correct system application

How do I remove and maintain these soft gel tips safely?

Gel-X tips are made from a soakable soft gel formulation so removal is straightforward with acetone, minimizing damage to the natural nail when performed correctly. For maintenance, follow routine fills and gentle surface prep to keep the bond strong and the finish smooth.

• Easily soakable with acetone for controlled removal
• Minimal filing at application reduces natural nail stress
• Recommended refill cycle and gentle finishing for longevity

Which profile should I choose: Natural or Sculpted?

The Natural line provides a flatter deck suitable for wider nail beds or clients who prefer a subtle, low-profile look; the Sculpted line adds a higher apex and a deeper C-curve for a more sculpted, dramatic finish. Choose based on your client’s natural nail shape and the desired final appearance.

• Natural: flatter surface, great for broad nails and understated looks
• Sculpted: pronounced curve and apex for a sculpted aesthetic
• Both lines include the new half sizes for precise sizing
