Aprés Gel-X is one of those products that many nail professionals have heard of, but not everyone fully understands. As an official UK stockist, here at TNBL, we’re here to help you get to know Gel-X a little better and discover what makes it so special!
The Story Behind Gel-X
Founded by Albee Chen in 2015, Aprés introduced Gel-X, an innovative soft gel extension system that transformed the nail industry. From the very beginning, every detail was carefully considered, from the different shapes and lengths to the variety of sizes available. The result? A system designed to offer something for everyone, whatever your style or nail type.
5 Shapes to Suit Every Style
One of the best things about Aprés Gel-X is the variety of shapes available. With five different shapes to choose from, you can find the perfect fit for your clients’ preferences.
-
Almond – Elegant and tapered, perfect for a soft, feminine look.
-
Coffin – A modern, tapered shape with a flat tip, ideal for creating a statement look.
-
Round – A classic, natural-looking shape that works beautifully for everyday nails.
-
Square – Clean, straight edges with a flat tip for a timeless finish.
-
Stiletto – A dramatic, pointed shape for clients who love bold, eye-catching nails.
Finding the Perfect Length
Shape is only the beginning! Aprés Gel-X also offers a range of lengths to suit different preferences and lifestyles.
Choose from Short, Medium, Long and Extra Long, with selected shapes also available in XXL for those who love extra length.
Whether your client prefers a subtle, natural look or long, dramatic extensions, there’s an option to suit their style.
Natural or Sculpted Apex: Which Is Right for Your Client?
Aprés Gel-X takes different natural nail structures into consideration, offering both Natural and Sculpted options.
The Natural shape is ideal for clients who prefer a more natural apex, while the Sculpted shape offers a higher apex for clients who love a more pronounced curve.
Sculpted tips can also be a great option for clients whose natural nails have a higher, more curved profile. Having both options available gives you greater flexibility when choosing the right tip for your client.
Box Sizes, Refill Bags & Finding the Right Fit
Whether you’re new to Gel-X or a seasoned professional, there are options to suit your needs.
If you’re just getting started, the 280-piece box is a great way to explore different shapes and sizes and discover which ones work best for you and your clients.
Need more product for your busy salon? Aprés also offers larger 500-piece and 600-piece boxes, making it easier to stock up on your favourite tips.
And if you find yourself running low on specific sizes, there’s no need to replace the whole box! Refill bags are available, including half sizes, so you can replenish exactly what you need.
With sizes ranging from 000 to 9, there’s plenty of choice when it comes to finding the right fit. Size 000 is the widest, with the range offering options for different nail widths.
French Tips & Ombre: More Ways to Get Creative
Aprés Gel-X doesn’t stop at classic extensions. The range also includes dedicated French tip and Ombre boxes, helping you achieve beautiful, salon-ready styles with added convenience.
Whether your client loves a timeless French manicure or a soft ombre finish, these options make it easier to create stunning looks while keeping your services versatile.
