What is Gel X?

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.

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. Try not to use your nails as tools.

How it compares

Compared with acrylic, Gel X is lighter and more flexible, and it soaks off. Acrylic is harder and more rigid. If you want an overlay on your 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?

Peeling or pulling Gel X can hurt your natural nail, so ask the salon about removal.

Can I get designs on Gel X?

Yes. French tip, chrome, cat eye and nail art can all go on top.
