Gel-X extensions have the malleability of a soft gel polish and the length of a press-on or glue-on nail. The extension is made out of gel polish which is applied directly on top of your full natural nail and can be cut and shaped to your preference.Gel X nails are considered a safer alternative to acrylics, offering benefits like a more natural look and feel, being lightweight, customizable in shape, gentler on natural nails, and having high durability while still allowing for a variety of nail art designs, all while minimizing damage to the natural nail due to the lack of harsh filing or drilling required during application.
