What Are Soft Gel Tips & Gel-X?

🌟 What Are Soft Gel Tips & Gel-X?

Soft gel tips are pre-shaped, full-cover tips made from soak-off gel—lightweight, flexible, and durable. They’re bonded to the natural nail using gel adhesive, creating seamless extensions in minutes.

Gel-X (originally popularized by Apres) is a full system built around soft gel tips. It's known for:

Long-lasting wear (2–4 weeks+)

Zero dust, no odor, no damage

Fast soak-off removal

Shapes like coffin, stiletto, almond, and square

Why it's popular:
It delivers salon-quality results in half the time, with no acrylic, no sculpting, and no harsh chemicals.
