Aprés Nail is doing some exciting things with their recently released Neutrals Gel-X Tips!
The brand has teamed up with Chaun Legend (@chaunlegend), celebrity nail artist to stars like the Kardashians, Jenners, and Cardi B, to release an exclusive edition of Neutrals Gel-X Tips.
The Aprés Neutrals Gel-X Tips, which launched in June 2022 as a pigmented alternative to the brand’s original clear Gel-X Tips, were created to mimic the natural color of the nail bed. The flawless shapes and colors of the tips allow technicians to skip the steps of sculpting, filing and applying a base color, saving time that can be better used creating art.

Each box comes with 150 tips in 10 sizes. The “Chaun” tips are also available in a Gel-X Nail Extension Kit with all the application essentials, another exciting new release from Aprés Nail.
