Natural Coffin, Natural Almond (Short/Medium/Long), Stiletto, and Ombre Tips. Each shape comes in 11 sizes (#0-#10) sold by individual tip or as Refill Bags for high-volume home studios.

How long does Apres Gel-X last?

21-day wear with proper prep + Extend Gel bonding + LED cure. Full soak-off removal in 20-25 minutes with acetone wraps. Lighter weight than traditional acrylic so client comfort is higher long-term.
