Optimize your time with your nail clients with the new Aprés Neutrals Gel-X Tips. These beautiful soft gel extensions mimic the natural colors of the nail bed and allow you to do more of what you love.

Aprés Neutrals come in four different shades, each flattering a wide range of skin tones.
Wishing you had more time to focus on creating fun nail art? Or do your appointments always seem to run a bit too long? You can make your time with your clients easier, more efficient, and more fun with the new Aprés Neutrals Gel-X nail tips.
Aprés Neutrals were created to mimic the natural color of the nail bed and are available in four different shades, as well as a variety of shapes and lengths. Just like the brand’s original Gel-X system, these shaded soft gel tips go on in a flash and eliminate the need for sculpting or filing. And because the pigment is infused into the tip itself, you don’t have to apply a foundation color or worry about streaks, lumps, or flaking. Overall, the new tips could save you 10-15 minutes per service.

The new Gel-X tips are available in several different shapes and lengths.
Each natural shade looks flawless and elegant when worn alone, but the tips are also perfect for painting on nail designs. Eunice Park, research and development manager at Aprés Nail, believes this is one of the biggest advantages of using the tips. “With Aprés Neutrals, you get extensions and color all in one,” she explains. “The Aprés Neutrals Gel-X Tips already come with the perfect base color for nail art. All the nail tech has to do is let her imagination run free!”

The tips look beautiful and natural when worn alone.
