What Are Gel-X Nail Extensions?
Gel-X is a modern nail extension system that uses lightweight, pre-shaped soft-gel tips to add length and structure to your natural nails.
Unlike traditional acrylic extensions, Gel-X doesn't require liquid-and-powder acrylic application. Instead, soft-gel tips are carefully fitted to your nails and secured using a specialized bonding gel cured under a nail lamp.
The result? Beautifully shaped extensions with a lightweight, flexible feel and a polished finish.

Wear time varies depending on your natural nail growth, daily activities, application, and aftercare. Our team can help you determine the best maintenance schedule for your nails.
