Apres tips bond edge-to-edge for a seamless apex with no filing of the natural nail, so a full set goes on in a fraction of the time acrylic takes. Pair them with soft gel tips in your preferred shape and cure under a UV nail lamp. For sculpted strength without tips, see our builder gel range.
Frequently Asked Questions — Apres Soft Gel Tips
What are Apres soft gel tips?
Apres soft gel tips are pre-shaped, full-cover nail extensions made from cured soft gel rather than hard plastic. Because the tip is gel, it flexes like a natural nail and bonds to Apres extend gel for a seamless, lightweight extension that does not require sculpting or heavy filing.
What gel do you use to apply Apres Gel-X tips?
Apres tips are applied with an Apres extend gel adhesive. C8 Nail Supply carries Extend Gel Adhesive, Extend Gel Novice for a slower working time, Ionic Gel, Color Extend Gel, and Extend Gel Sensitive for HEMA-free application. Prep the natural nail with Apres Gel-X Prep first, then cure under a UV or LED lamp.
How long do Apres soft gel extensions last?
With correct prep and full curing, Apres soft gel extensions typically wear two to three weeks before a fill, comparable to a well-applied acrylic set. Wear time depends on nail prep, client lifestyle, and lamp curing.
Does C8 Nail Supply sell Apres wholesale?
Yes. C8 Nail Supply carries Apres soft gel tips and extend gels at retail and wholesale pricing for licensed nail technicians and salons, shipping nationwide from Garden Grove, California.
