Gel Extensions

What are Après Gel Extensions?

Après Gel Extensions are long lasting, press-on nails which are professionally applied and cured using gel and LED light. They look like natural nails, but they’re stronger.

Why are they so good?

Gel Extensions are quicker to apply than other nail extension systems in the past (like tips with acrylic or hard gel) because there is less time spent on filling them into shape. The shape is already there. (A little time is needed if the original length needs to be cut and reshaped but still…)

Which means... more time for nail designs.

Also……

  • Some brands can be rebalanced (or refilled) after 3ish weeks of growth. Aprés Gel X are replaced with a fresh set each time.

  • They are great for fixing the odd broken nail, as well as having a full set.

  • They are easier to remove and take much less time than acrylic, using acetone & nail wraps.

    (professionally always recommended)

  • They are also vegan friendly. I emailed them myself to check.

There are a variety of different brands available to create gel extensions. These include; Aprés Gel-X, Missu Flexi Tips and Kiara Sky Gelly Tips. Different nail techs and nail studios will use different systems for different reasons. All to create beautiful nail looks that last, again and again.
