A soft, polished short round shape designed for beautifully refined Gel-X extensions.
✦ Soft-Gel Extensions With a Naturally Refined Shape
APRES GEL-X Natural Round Short 2.0 tips are full-coverage soft-gel extension tips made for the Gel-X system. This 600-piece box includes 14 sizes, including half sizes such as 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5, giving nail artists more flexibility when matching each tip from sidewall to sidewall.
The Natural line is designed with a flatter surface, making it a beautiful choice for wider nail beds, while the short round silhouette keeps the finished look graceful, wearable, and timeless. The 2.0 redesign adds a thinner base edge to help reduce filing near the cuticle area and a thicker free edge for a more durable feel.
