GEL-X
The fastest, most natural-looking way to achieve stunning length and shape with pre-sculpted soft gel tips.
What Are Gel-X Nails?
GEL-X is a soft gel extension system that gives you the length and shape of acrylics with the comfort and flexibility of gel. Pre-formed soft gel tips are applied directly to your natural nail and secured with a gel adhesive. Lightweight yet durable, Gelx looks and feels natural. They are perfect for anyone who wants instant length without the harsh chemicals or heavy filing of acrylic. This product is fully soaked off and redone after 3-4 weeks.
