Aprés Gel-X | Entire Set Demo

[@bobisu3111]

For temporary extensions these look like the best thing ever :D

[@texas.latina89]

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

[@stinalyn2847]

Coming from someone who has tried them.. they are AMAZING! they stay on forever my current set has been on for a month, I am by no means fragile. I work two jobs and workout nonstop! Try them out!!

[@tracychikanya9199]

Stina Lyn what about wide/big nail beds?

[@mygeorge1951]

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!

[@mygeorge1951]

@ Awesome!!

[@Keesh35015]

These are AMAZINGGGGG!!! I tried these for the first time and I’m hooked. I will never use anything else 💅💅💅💞💞💞

[@pegschwalbach2500]

I love your nails! I never got the kit but have added one piece at a time. They are the best nails ever! Thank you so so much! Merry Christmas everyone!

[@yashica6915]

I’m so in love with this! Thank you!

[@VampyreBarbie]

Aprés, are you supposed to cure whole hand for 30 secs under lamp after applying the to the full hand? The step is omitted here, but in your demo video at IBD, your rep says to do this. Thank you

[@VampyreBarbie]

[@shaegang13]

Who actually has this system already? & Who has used or is currently using this system? I got this system a couple a months ago and I must say they are the best! They seem like they'd be to fragile to stay on but a month later and I am SHOOKETH!! So amazed by this product! I just want to compare with other nail techs using Gel-X on how much is a Gel-X full set priced at?

[@jennifergreene2367]

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)

[@shaegang13]

@@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!

[@ancermet8402]

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.

[@kelseywhite1333]

How do you fill these? Would you just have to soak them off and do a whole new set the next time the client is in?

[@Lilsophia3]

Yes

[@reha965]

Hi there I’m really really interested in this product however I would love to know if you could use acrylic on top for nail art? Thank you

[@daniellejames7658]

Is there anything done to the natural nail itself before you put the pH Bonder? Is the natural nail buffed to take away the natural shine. Like how you would do before any gel or acrylic 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.

[@LorenaRodriguezNails]

That's good...I love it

[@zaxiong6804]

How would you do a fill and take off?

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.

[@zaxiong6804]

Aprés Nail Official thank you!

[@samanthazepeda9904]

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

[@lelarobinson2854]

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

[@lelarobinson2854]

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

[@DorothyKilonzo]

Hello Apres Nail Official i saw the first extension being done on the Wah London KZbin page.It looks so light.

[@fefetomlinson]

Is it necessary to use your “apres nails” tips or I can use normal tips for the gel x technique?

[@jennmaracle8814]

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

[@hmskoolmom]

That's much better. THANK YOU! Question--when it is time for an infill, say 3 weeks growth, is it possible to infill with gel rather than soak-off/put new ones on?

Toni Wilson thank you for letting us know!! 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.

[@hmskoolmom]

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!

[@violetpolack8630]

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.

[@daneice838]

Love the system. I use dip powder and that really works great.

[@naturalmystic8831]

Daneice DeLeon you use dip powder on these nails?

[@daneice838]

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

[@naturalmystic8831]

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

[@alis2471]

I wonder what nail shape this is, coffin or square? 🤔

[@hellokitty499]

How do you encapsulate glitter and flowers using this product?

[@samsdns1]

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 KZbin videos of it. I am no professional but I watch a lot of videos

[@JM-re6cw]

Hi! I was wondering if you would be able to shape the nail into oval/almond shapes?

[@user-kn9xf3vt8m]

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

[@LilyEstrada55]

Wow.... Something new 4 me.... Like it!!!

[@airbuschannel1956]

Please help . I believe acetone destroys gel x tips and u use it to wipe them at the end of application prior to application of gel . Any suggestion here ?

[@vanehdz98]

Donde puedo comprar este producto??

[@NailAddict29]

I think I’m going to give it a shot, my only concern is, isn’t the nails too thin? Doesn’t seem like it would be durable.

[@reha965]

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

[@allissamustin2914]

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!

[@texas.latina89]

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

[@angieibarra2295]

Can you apply a builder gel over the nail extension to give it more thickness?

[@ninnadowell1074]

Yes ...I do and it works fine

[@maybenot007]

Do you have a soak off video?

We will try to post one!

[@loriellerichardson825]

What type of polish should be used on the tips?

gel polish. or you can apply regular nail polish too

[@Doin_Life]

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

[@jacole7492]

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.

[@earthangel3283]

Question does the cuticle bit comes with the kit??

[@DreamaMeOnly]

Im Ella nope

[@earthangel3283]

[@sunshineluz7921]

[@sandrallamas4573]

Does any one know how I can prevent my nails from bending. I love this nail kit system but I keep having them bend on me. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Help !

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! 😊

[@duzzie1817]

Can this product be used on nail biters?

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

[@tutibi1931]

Sorry, I did not understand which type of form you're using? Regular?

[@shannons9386]

I have dry, extremely brittle nails that have broken and chipped after months of gels. Can I still use this while caring for my natural nails? How is this product safe for my natural nails?

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!

[@MaryBerriee]

What drill piece is that you use to make the cuticle area smooth

I Try Maryann a cuticle bit!

[@Doin_Life]

Question: Is there no need to buff the nail before gel polish?

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!

[@Doin_Life]

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.

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 ✨

[@crochetbylizeth8977]

Are the tips taken off after it has been cured? I saw something like that on Amazon but i dont know if this is the same thing

[@benedettaborri8596]

Wow i've missed that the tips are made of gel, sure i didn't read it properly. So the revolution is the tip itself not the gel that is basically a soak off one. Am i right? Thanks

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!

[@cushi815melt]

So idk what am doing wrong? So i follow the instructions and after a few day 1 or 2 nails fall off. i have even taken the time do not be in a rush. could it be maybe that i am using a lamp that has led and uv light on it. Also i saw this video step 6 is confusing because it says to aplly all extension on led lamp the it says do not cure on led lamp. can anyone help

[@jeniferwinterbine3344]

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.

[@VanityCristina]

So how much do you charge for a change of full set?
