Gel X nails are a type of soft gel nail extension system that uses pre-formed, full-coverage nail tips made entirely from soft gel. These tips come in various shapes and lengths and are applied over the natural nails using a soft gel adhesive. The application process involves lightly buffing the natural nails, selecting the right-sized tips, applying gel adhesive, pressing the tips onto the nails, and curing them under a UV or LED lamp. Key features of Gel X nails include:
- They are lightweight and flexible, mimicking the natural feel of nails better than acrylics.
- The soft gel material is gentle and healthier for natural nails, causing less damage during application and removal.
- They are quicker to apply since the tips are pre-shaped, eliminating the need for sculpting or building layers.
- Removal is easier and less damaging compared to acrylics; Gel X nails can be soaked off with acetone like regular gel polish.
- They offer durable and natural-looking nail extensions without the bulk and harsh chemicals associated with acrylic or hard gel nails.
Overall, Gel X nails provide a fast, damage-free, and aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional nail extensions, making them increasingly popular.
