Description
Apres Bare Gel-X Natural
Meet your new natural. Bare Gel-X is Apres' thinnest, most natural-feeling extension yet — thin, durable, and completely customizable, giving flawless natural-looking nails with a low profile and ultra-thin finish. With this full-coverage extension system, the question becomes: is it natural nails or Bare Gel-X?
Offered in either Natural or Sculpted, Bare Gel-X features one universal length tip that can be cut, filed, and shaped into any look — whether used for a minimal natural extension, a natural nail overlay, or a repair solution. It's built for comfort and durability while keeping that barely-there look that blends seamlessly into the natural nail. Browse the full range of Apres Gel-X Natural tips to find the right fit for your service.
Perfect For
- Clients who want natural-looking nails with subtle length
- Reinforcing weak, bendy, or flexible natural nails
- Correcting uneven lengths from breaks or cracks
- Short nails that need structure without bulk
- Seamless, natural-looking repairs
- Minimal sets that still feel polished and intentional
How to Use
Prep: Cleanse, dehydrate, and lightly etch the natural nail. Apply pH Bonder and Non-Acidic Primer (optional).
Sizing: Apply a Bare Gel-X Tip without pressing down too hard — it should fit sidewall to sidewall with no pinching. Once the correct size is chosen, etch the underside with Gel-X Prep.
Apply: Apply Extend Gel Non-Wipe on the natural nail and cure. Apply a bead of Extend Gel onto the tip and gently apply at a 45-degree angle. Flash cure until all five fingers are applied, then fully cure in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.
Customize: Remove the hexagonal handle and trim and shape as desired. Etch the surface with Gel-X Prep, then apply a Gel Couleur of your choice. Finish with Top Gelcoat X or Builder Top Gelcoat.
Pro tip: Bare Gel-X extensions should only extend half the length of the natural nail.
