Bobbie-Sue Pocock they aren’t temporary, we have been testing these on other nail techs in our salon and they are durable just as strong as sns

Stina Lyn what about wide/big nail beds?

I have a Client where her thumb nails are wide. What size would I use on her nails? Thank you!

You would use Size 0 which is currently our largest size. If Size 0 still doesn't fit, you can manually flex the Gel-X tip wider.

Tracy Chikanya We will be releasing a larger OO size next year for all shapes!

@ Awesome!!

Xenia Madrid my sister has hyperhidrosis ( extremely sweaty hands) this is the only product I can use for her for that reason. I have used this system for about 6 months and I charge $40 for a simple set ( just polish)

@@jennifergreene2367 thank you so much for your feedback love! I appreciate it! May I ask , where do you reside? & $40 no gel polish, correct? I'm sorry, I started using the system 4months ago on close clients and myself but I haven't the idea how to price them.

Hello! We recommend to start Gel-X pricing at $65 for a full set (short) with 1 gel color. Price increases incrementally for longer lengths and nail art and design is always extra!

Aprés Nail Official 65$ for a full set short with 1 color ? my nail tech charges that for a full bling nail lol 40 for just 1 color is the perfect amount

an Cermet Pricing depends on the individual nail tech, area/region, and scope of service.

The prep would be a gel manicure prep!

You do not need to buff away the shine like with gel or acrylic. Gel-X tips are made from soft gel so it will bond with gel polish without roughing up the surface or needing base coat.

Luxe & Lush that’s what I’m thinking 🤔 now I wonder if you could use a acrylic on top to make the nail stronger? Just a thin layer, I also love doing nail art with acrylic I wonder if it would work

I’ve been had the gelx nails for about 6 weeks. Only had one fill getting a fresh set on Friday. I love these! I’ve had acrylic, poly gel and gelx. Gelx is by far my favorite. I was worried about the strength at first too. But i can assure you they are very strong. I’m a makeup artist and im pretty hard on my nails. Mine are quite long and I haven’t lost one yet!

That was my first concern as well and we have been testing them on other nail techs in our salon and they are just as strong as sns

Daneice DeLeon you use dip powder on these nails?

@@naturalmystic8831 Yes and the results are amazing. So smooth and thin. They keep their shape and will last weeks.

Daneice DeLeon thanks! I think I will get these. I already have dip powder so I’m glad to know this!

Yes

Jayleen * yes the can be shaped, like you would do acrylics. You just have to let your nail tech know

Shannon S Aprés Gel-X is a very good product to use while trying to grow out your natural nails! There is very minimal filing/buffing needed on natural nails in order to use Gel-X and that in turns protects your natural nails from unnecessary filing which leads to damage!

This set is special because the tips are made of soft gel. They’ll completely soak off.

Yes ...I do and it works fine

Yes! This system works rather well on small nail beds or nail biter nail beds!

I saw another video that did it underneath the nail. Not on top. They applied the gel, then glitter, then cured, and then added another layer of gel. The only problem was she did not apply anything around the cuticle. There are KZfaq videos of it. I am no professional but I watch a lot of videos

We will try to post one!

Hello ❤️If you are experiencing bending with our tips, I would suggest to use our sculpted line of tips which have a more pronounced c-curve and more strength for longer nails since the apex of the nail is higher. If the bending still occurs, I suggest doing a soft gel overlay on top with the Iconic Gel. Hope this helps! 😊

You can do fills with Ionic Gel, but we do not recommend doing fills. Gel-X is so fast and easy to apply that it takes longer to do fills than to do a new set each time! Soak off in acetone 15 minutes and do a new set every time.

Aprés Nail Official thank you!

Aprés Nail Official so you’d charge your client for new sets each time they come in instead of charging them for a “fill”??

Samantha Zepeda technically a fill is supposed to cost as much as a full set anyway.

Samantha Zepeda and like they said you can do a fill!

Jill Thomas no need! Simply wipe off the surface of the Gel-X tip with acetone and you’re ready to apply your gel polish!

Awesome! Also, my little flash doesn’t work after I fully charge it.

Jill Thomas The 2W Mini LED light that comes in the starter kit is not rechargeable and needs to be plugged into a power source to use.

Thank you again and you're welcome! I know most of the damage to the nail comes from filing, which is why your system comes out as ideal, I just wondered about the soaking on/off with acetone damage each time. I will research some more and keep an eye out for more videos!

I would say be careful with soaking every time and will depend on the person's nails. I wouldn't want to use this system because of that. I have a hard time even getting gel polish off soak for over an hours and still have to scrap and file to get the last of it off. It has ruined my nails and I look forward to buying an efile to remove gel polish from my nails. I don't have this problem with other people.

Stacy Orick You don't. You remove and reapply.

I think they mean that when you’re doing a flash cure on one nail, only put that nail under the lamp, not the other nails. Only after all nails have been individually flash cured do you put the whole hand under the lamp for the full time cure.

gel polish. or you can apply regular nail polish too

does the Apres nail need to be buffed to remove the shine before gel polish is applied?

I noticed in the video that once the white colored polish was applied, it cut directly to the No Wipe top coat. Was there a curing step omitted? I can't seem to get audio on this video, my volume is up all the way, but it's not putting out anything.

Jan Moss there are videos on how to do this. Follow NCE (Nail Career Education). Suzie has a great video on how to!

King Purp You can do fills with Ionic Gel, but we do not recommend doing fills. Gel-X is so fast and easy to apply that it takes longer to do fills than to do a new set each time! Soak off in acetone 15 minutes and do a new set every time.

Hello ❤️ It was a color gel. After applying gel polish, cure under a large led lamp for the final cure.

Benedetta Borri the revolution is the marriage of both our custom molded soft gel tips (regular tips are made of ABS plastic) and our Extend Gel!

Aprés Nail Official unfortunately the shipping price for italy is 60€... too much...

Susan Simmons I clean mine with acetone

Hello! Either or can do but we do advise using acetone with caution because it can damage the nail if too much is used.

No that would be the dual forms system

Im Ella nope

Ok thanks

You can do any design as you would on an acrylic tip. You can design it before you put it on as well.

I Try Maryann a cuticle bit!

Hi! Please direct message us on Instagram or Facebook to get the MSDS for the products 🤍

Hello! We recommend flash curing each individual nail after application and then curing your whole hand in a full size led lamp for the final cure ✨

Hello :) You can use any polish on the nails. We also have more options on our website at www.apresnail.com

@ thank you! Last question, do you have to file down the inside or can you apply it on without doing so?

@@chyanj2715 Please check out our youtube videos to see a step by step presentation on how to apply our tips. :)

Are you pushing up toward the cuticle while gradually pushing down to get the bubbles out and secure the nail? You also may need a little more adhesive.

Peg Schwalbach Yes you are right. I didn’t use the right gel adhesive for it.

What were you using?

These are Gel-X tips in Natural Square Medium 💕

Layla Galarza you can always try buffing the number out. That’s what I do or you can polish the nail with colour and you won’t see the numbers.

Shirorin the tip is “gel”

Shirorin, um...did you miss the part where the tips were actually gel and NOT PLASTIC?

Shirorin Not to mention these are lasting most clients up to and over a month of wear!

Shirorin,really?

@@VampyreBarbie That's awesome!!

Karla Rodriguez The LED flashlight has been discontinued! We highly recommend trying our X-Lite which is cordless and rechargeable for added convenience!

@ Is there anyway to replace the lamp with the chargeless and paying a little bit more on the complete kit

Karla Rodriguez Unfortunstely not, the X-lite is available as an individual product for purchase!

@ Okay thank you so much for your replies. But is there any reason why the price went up?

Hello! Please bend and flex them. They do not leave a white crease like plastic tips do. And after bending them, they do not have the same plastic odor as when you bend regular, ABS plastic tips. We hoped this helped!

Thank you for the feedback! We will do our best to respond faster!
