APRÉS Gel-X Soft Gel Nail Tips — Natural Square Short, 280 Count (14 Sizes with Half-Sizes)

APRÉS Gel-X Square Box of Nail Tips supplies 280 soft gel, short natural square extensions in 14 sizes (00–9) with new half sizes for faster, more accurate fits.

The updated Gel-X system brings practical refinements to a salon-favorite soft gel extension: thinner bases for a near-seam finish, thicker free edges for impact resistance, and three new half sizes (4.5, 5.5, 6.5) to reduce wasted tips and filing. Each box contains 280 tips across 14 sizes and is offered in the Natural Square Short shape, which provides a flatter bed for wide nails and easy shaping. These tips are soakable in acetone and designed to work with APRÉS Extend Gel for professional-grade wear that can last weeks when applied correctly.

How do these Gel-X tips speed up sizing and prep?

The new half sizes make it much quicker to match a client’s natural nail width, reducing the need to file or slightly reshape tips to fit. The thinner base design lowers the amount of product and buffing needed at the cuticle line, so prep and finishing time are shorter without sacrificing adhesion.

• Includes 14 sizes from 00 to 9 plus half sizes 4.5, 5.5, 6.5 for more precise fits.
• Thinner bases minimize filing and create a smoother cuticle transition.
• Box quantity (280) supports multiple services before restocking.

What makes the structural design more durable?

APRÉS redesigned Gel-X to combine a slimmer contact area with a reinforced free edge. This construction gives a seamless look at the base while the thicker tip edge absorbs everyday knocks and reduces tip lift or breakage under typical wear.

• Thicker distal edge for improved impact resistance and longevity.
• Soft-gel composition balances flexibility and strength for natural movement.
• Compatible with APRÉS Extend Gel for added reinforcement and polish adhesion.

Can these tips be removed easily and what products are compatible?

Yes — because Gel-X is soft gel, tips are designed for soak-off removal using acetone, making them straightforward to remove without aggressive filing when done properly. They pair seamlessly with APRÉS Extend Gel and standard LED/UV curing protocols used for gel extension services.

• Soak-off in acetone for efficient and safe removal.
• Use with APRÉS Extend Gel and typical gel-brand topcoats or color gels.
• Works under LED/UV lamps following manufacturer cure times.

Which finish and curvature options should I choose for different nail types?

The Natural line in this box provides a flatter surface and subtler curve suited to wider nail beds or clients who prefer a more natural silhouette. If a more dramatic apex or pronounced C-curve is desired, APRÉS also offers Sculpted lines with a higher arch for added length illusion and tapered profiles.

• Natural Square Short: flatter bed, ideal for wide nails and short lengths.
• Sculpted option: deeper C-curve and higher apex for dramatic shapes.
• Choose based on client nail bed shape and desired finished look.
