Best Gel-X Salons

Gel-X is a soft gel extension system developed by Après Nail. Pre-shaped, pre-sized gel tips are adhered to the natural nail using a gel base coat and cured under UV/LED light. The result is lightweight, flexible extensions that look and feel significantly more natural than acrylics, with no strong odours and easier removal.

What to expect

Your technician will size pre-made gel tips to each nail, apply a gel base, press the tip on, and cure under UV/LED. The process takes around 60–90 minutes. Extensions can be customised in length and shape, and nail art is applied directly on top.
