May 2022 was a big month at Nails Plus! We welcomed an expert from Aprés Nail, the creator of the Gel-X System, for an exciting demo show! Over 100 Nails Plus customers came to see Tammy, the Aprés Nail educator, demonstrate the Gel-X process. We pride ourselves on bringing skilled professionals directly to our customers, especially for products and systems that are trending. Since our Aprés Nail Demo was such a big hit, we’re bringing the content to our blog for those who couldn’t make it in person. Keep reading for more information on the popular Gel-X System!

What is the Gel-X System?

The Gel-X System was developed by Aprés Nail with the intention of creating a healthier manicure. It is the world’s first soft gel nail extensions system. The innovative soft gel tip is easy to apply and you can soak it right off your nail. No filing required, and no messy nail dust to deal with! Because of its focus on keeping nails healthy we think the Gel-X process will become even more popular than acrylic and dipping systems. Read a more detailed explanation of the Gel-X System in our recent blog.

Top Aprés Nail Products

In-person demos really help our customers understand how to use and benefit from new nail products. Tammy shared three popular Aprés Nail products during her demo:

• The Aprés Gel-X Nail Extension Kit: This kit offers everything you need to get started on your Gel-X journey. Now is the time to invest in educating yourself about an innovative system that’s growing in popularity. One thing we learned from Tammy is that your customers are going to want the Gel-X System, and you’re going to want to be prepared to offer it to them.
• Aprés French Manicure Gel-X Kit: This is the French manicure version of the Gel-X Nail Extension Kit. One thing Tammy shared about this kit is the value of the included Color Extend Gel Shade, Carla. This gel color allows you to lengthen the natural nail bed to fit any depth smile line. To go with this kit, be sure to get a set of Gel-X French Manicure Tips, available in Natural & Sculpted Round, Square, Coffin, and Stiletto shapes. Each set of tips comes with six different smile lines to make the French Manicure easier for the nail tech!
• Aprés Artiste ArtInks: This set of specialty gel colors helps create fantastic effects in marble, tie-dye, or watercolor. This is something that salon owners & nail techs can include as an “add-on” service after application of the Gel-X System.

We’re really proud to be a trusted purveyor of Aprés Nail products, and we were happy to welcome Tammy into our store. Browse our website or get in touch for more info on the revolutionary Gel-X System! We really love talking about all things nails + beauty!
