Gel-X extensions are a stronger, more durable version of press-ons. These clear, full-coverage tips allow LED light to penetrate through. Unlike standard nail glue that lasts only a day or two, Gel-X tips are adhered and cured to the natural nail using a designated glue and LED lamps. Then, filed to desired length and polished with gel polish. With proper prep and application, they offer excellent retention—lasting 2.5 weeks to up to a month. They are lightweight, thinner than acrylic and dip powder, and come in various shapes and lengths that can be customized. I absolutely love them for the lack of damage they cause! Can Gel-X be refilled? Yes! It is highly recommended every 3 weeks. Please Note: I do not perform gel-x fill-ins after the 3.5 week mark. Anything after 3.5 weeks will be considered a soak-off + full set or be subjected to a small rebalancing fee due to the amount of extra prep it may take to rebalance your apex, reshape your nails, and clean up the excess skin.

Adding an overlay of builder gel increases durability for those who enjoy the feel of gel-x extensions, but know they can be rougher on their nails. With proper prep and application, they offer excellent retention—lasting 2.5 weeks to up to a month. Fill-ins are highly recommended every 3 weeks.

Personally, structured manicures (builder gel) are my absolute favorite! Think of it as a thicker consistency of your standard gel polish base coat. It helps provide a much more durable structure for your natural nails to grow out with zero to super minimal damage AND lifting. I can confidently say that I am a builder gel girlie for my own nails and many of my clients, and I, can all collectively agree that it’s life changing! This type of product CAN BE refilled— it is highly recommended every 3 weeks.
