Gel-X Nail Extensions in Winter Springs, FL

What is Gel-X?

Gel-X is a soft gel extension system. Pre-shaped, full-cover gel tips are sized to each of your nails, bonded with gel adhesive and cured under a lamp.

Because the tips are made of soft gel, they feel light and flexible on the nail. Once they are on, they are shaped and finished with gel color or nail art.

Who it is best for

• Adding length right away
• A lightweight feel compared with harder enhancements
• A consistent shape across all ten nails
• An alternative to acrylic

What to expect at your appointment

After nail and cuticle prep, each tip is matched to the width of your natural nail so it sits flush. The tips are bonded and cured, shaped to your preferred length and style, and finished with color or nail art. Every appointment is one-on-one with Rachel in a private suite.

Aftercare tips

• Apply cuticle oil daily to keep the nail and surrounding skin flexible.
• Wear gloves for cleaning and washing dishes.
• Use your fingertips, not your nails, to open cans or scrape things.
• Never pick, peel or pry your nails off. Book a fill or a removal instead.

Common questions

What is the difference between Gel-X and acrylic nails?

Gel-X uses pre-shaped soft gel tips that are cured under a lamp. Acrylic is sculpted by hand from a liquid and powder mix. Gel-X tends to feel lighter, while acrylic is harder and very durable.

What shapes and lengths can I get with Gel-X?

Gel-X tips come in a range of shapes and lengths. Tell Rachel the look you want and she will match it.

How are Gel-X nails removed?

Gel-X is a soft gel, so it is soaked off rather than pried off. Always have extensions removed professionally to protect your natural nails.
