All about Apres Gel-X

Apres Gel-X is the world's first full-coverage soft gel extension system, introduced by Apres Nail in 2017 . Unlike traditional acrylics, Gel-X uses pre-formed soft gel tips that are applied directly to your natural nails using a gentle gel adhesive, then cured under a UV or LED lamp. This method eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and extensive filing, making it a healthier alternative for your nails.

These extensions are cut, shaped, and polished with eco-friendly, non-toxic products at BOHO Nail Spa, ensuring a chip-free, vibrant mani that lasts 3-4 weeks. Perfect for busy lifestyles, Gel-X offers durability without the damage. Learn more about Apres Nails.

Apres Gel-X vs. Acrylic Nails: What’s the Difference?

While acrylic nails require sculpting with liquid monomer and powder, Gel-X nails use pre-formed full-cover soft gel tips. That means no harsh chemicals, no heavy filing, and no strong odors.

Curious how Gel-X stacks up against acrylics? Here’s the breakdown:

• Application: Acrylics involve a brush-applied monomer liquid over nail forms, requiring heavy filing that can weaken natural nails. Gel-X uses pre-made soft gel tips adhered directly to the nail bed, minimizing filing and damage.

• Time: Gel-X is faster, with a streamlined process that gets you in and out of BOHO Nail Spa in less time.

• Durability: Gel-X lasts 3-4 weeks with no lifting, while acrylics may chip or lift sooner.

• Health: Gel-X is gentler, using non-toxic materials that align with our eco-friendly mission, unlike acrylics’ harsher chemicals.

At BOHO, our Gel-X manicures are crafted with sustainable products, ensuring your nails stay healthy and gorgeous.

Apres Gel-X vs. Traditional Gel Polish

Gel-X, created by the brand Apres Nails, is a breakthrough in nail extension technology. Unlike acrylics, Gel-X uses soft gel full-cover tips that are applied directly to your natural nail using a gentle bonding process—no harsh filing or drilling required.

While both use gel technology, Gel-X and traditional gel polish serve different purposes:

• Purpose: Traditional gel is painted onto natural nails for color but doesn’t extend or strengthen them. Gel-X tips add length and durability, creating a smooth base for intricate nail art.

• Longevity: Standard gel lasts 2-3 weeks and may lift as nails grow. Gel-X holds strong for 3-4 weeks with no peeling.

• Versatility: Gel-X’s full-coverage tips make it ideal for bold designs, from minimalist to dazzling rhinestone art, all using BOHO’s non-toxic polishes.

Benefits of Gel-X Manicures

• Healthier Nails: No harsh drilling or strong odors; Gel-X is gentler on your natural nails, allowing them to grow stronger underneath .

• Long-Lasting Wear: Enjoy chip-free nails for up to 3–4 weeks, perfect for those with busy lifestyles.

• Easy Removal: Soak off with acetone in about 15 minutes, causing minimal damage compared to acrylics .

• Versatile Styles: Choose from various shapes and lengths—coffin, stiletto, round, square—to match your personal style
