I’m so glad this exists! I was so tired of acrylic smell and all that filing

[@VeronicaSanchez-tc8do]

There's monomer drops for the acrylic smell

[@gailpetersen2425]

The best system they have come up with I had my nails done and it’s very strong no lifting etc

[@IndoEireannGirl]

The tip primer is a new thing. Instead of using a file to rough up the surface I guess. Looks like it is easier to handle that using the file to:rough the surface up too. Great system, and I love using them to keep my hands looking symmetrical when I have nail breaks.😊

[@tarahollins3257]

I’m just noticing that’s new too

[@debjukes5548]

Yes I is new, about a 8 mo to a year or so….I think.

I don't have any of they products but i really wanna try they extend gel and primer

[@TheIsraelProphetess]

I’ve been waiting since I was a teenager for something other than acrylics to exist and decades later but I got my answer. Salons are smelly, pricey, and intimidating.

[@ijjns66]

Lol I agree

[@user-tj6jd7td5c]

Gel extensions have existed for a very long time. I started getting interested in gel extensions almost a decade ago

[@karensnailstudio7171]

@@user-tj6jd7td5cI learnt gel nails when I was 18 & I’m now 49!!! Gel nails have been around for decades, they’ve just improved slowly over the years.

Can we use hard gelfor applying gelx

[@plantylady]

Anyone know the gel polish color or something similar? It’s the perfect nude

[@heidic9316]

hi what gel color polish color is the model wearing? it's stunning! thank you in advance.

[@Doin_Life]

I was thinking the same thing!! A super soft taupe but I went to know exactly what it is too!

[@maishamaee_9507]

What if you put the right amount of gel, but it comes out uneven, or wiggles out of the cuticle area part of the extension?

[@scorpybiddyboo9528]

Clean it with a brush dipped in a little alchol before curing it.

[@lasonyasnead3284]

How do you reshape them? I feel like there needs to be a size between the small and medium lengths.

[@nataliasmith8485]

If my tips fit almost perfect to the nail not exactly sidewall to sidewall…just a little tiny bit off, am I ok? will the nails still work and fit/last as usual or does it have be to 100% fit

[@Peachypolish14]

It should be a perfect fit to avoid lifting. Go a size up and file the sides and cuticle area of the tip so you can make your own perfect fitting tip.

[@tsdiggs78]

When your tips do not fit properly, don't force it. Go up a size and file the tip to the correct size, espessically for this type of application your prep work is key and ensuring the nails are fitting correctly are apart of that.

[@TiaBellaBeauty]

[@Jay-ny6hj]

anyone else have a problem with the gel taking so long to cure or not curing at all? I’m using 48 W lamp.

[@Frogmommyiester]

I am struggling keeping them in longer than a week. Any suggestions folks? My newest attempt is rubber base on natural nails and extend gel on the tip. 2 days so far so good.

[@joellerodriguez5772]

i find that your natural nails may also play a part. Gel X doesn’t stay on my clients that have bitten nails. other than that I’d say size up and customize the tip shape wise to fit

[@nene8120]

Do you fill in the bottom with gel or leave it like that?

[@RATHEADfoREVer]

What do you mean by "the bottom"?

[@mijungra4134]

Hello . i love this product. but i have question. Do i have to use tip primer too? I didnt use a tip primer and did the extend gel after grinding the insde of the full tip with a drill. There was no tip primer in the full package. omg.. I did already couple of customer. OMG

[@Peachypolish14]

The tip primer is used instead of filing the tip

[@Monicaaasnflwr]

@@Peachypolish14 is doing both a good idea?

[@Peachypolish14]

Was the natural nail not filed before gel application?

[@ALT-vz3jn]

Looks like they skipped all the nail prep part 🫤

[@tsambikasabineiakovidis7755]

I see you leave the product quite thick on the underside, right? but my question is... doesn't that application leave a gap between the finger and the extension? Or should that space be filled in later with gel?

[@titanandtheworldschoolers9235]

Mine has a gap causing the nail to break not even one hour after the mani

[@nicenailz_bykatt]

You probably need a natural tip then instead of sculpted. With correct application they last 6-8weeks​@@titanandtheworldschoolers9235

[@eviele2200]

what if my clients have nubs? aka for my nail biters who dont have any free edge whatsoever and want nail extensions and expect them to last a month? i have a method of doing it but i'd like to know if there is a better and fool proof way? love this product btw!

[@heyemma7270]

What’s your method I have short bitten nails

[@RATHEADfoREVer]

I would also like to know

[@sophia-marieyoung6773]

They need at least a small part of free edge to use these tips. At least that's what it says on their website.

[@Morggie42789]

Why do you do a layer of gel glue under the Uv light instead of going straight to applying the nail with the glue?

[@khadinealisamhoul3038]

Can you put acrylic over this

[@chin_aa9166]

That would defeat the purpose of this. It’s would be very thick if you did so.

[@nghitran-q9m]

What do you do if the gel overfills from the bottom ?

[@jessicad.8115]

Do you have a e file? If so use that to clean up or use less gel

[@Lanilottie]

I wish you would ship the extended gel and primer to Europe and not juste the gel tips

[@larajean6756]

Am I supposed to file my nail bed before applying all of the 3 steps ?

[@nicenailz_bykatt]

Yes (: @larajean

[@diannes1254]

You can only file your ‘nail bed’ if you fully remove your actual ‘nail plate’ and that would be extremely painful so I think you are asking if you buff the top of the ‘nail plate’ where you apply the gel Polish to. I’m about to start trialling their gel system so will email Apres’ directly and ask them and suggest you could too. 😊

[@RATHEADfoREVer]
