Gel X
Overview
Gel X is a soft gel extension. Each nail gets a full-cover gel tip sized to fit, attached and cured with gel. You get length and shape in about an hour, and it feels lighter than acrylic. When it's time to take it off, it soaks off instead of being filed all the way down.
What's included
- Nail prep
- Tips sized to each nail
- Gel applied and cured under the lamp
- Shaping and finish
- French tip, chrome, cat eye and nail art available as add-ons
Who it's for
- Natural-looking length
- People who find acrylic too heavy
- Almond, coffin or square shapes, short to long
How long it lasts
Gel X usually lasts about three to four weeks before it needs a fill or a fresh set.
Maintenance
Come back for a Gel X Fill around the three-week mark. Use cuticle oil every day and try not to use your nails as tools; that's how most tips pop off early.
How it compares
Compared with acrylic, Gel X is lighter and more flexible, and taking it off is gentler. Acrylic is sturdier for very long nails or hands that take a beating. If you want stronger natural nails rather than extra length, look at Gel Builder.
FAQs
Is Gel X the same as acrylic?
No. Gel X uses pre-shaped soft gel tips and gel, not acrylic powder and liquid. It feels lighter and soaks off.
Is Gel X bad for your nails?
Not when it's removed properly. Soaking it off instead of peeling it protects your natural nail.
Can I get designs on Gel X?
Yes. French tip, chrome, cat eye and nail art can all go on top.
