What is Gel-X Extensions?
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. Our Gel-X Nail Extension Service uses the same materials as a Gel Manicure, but the technique can create length past your natural nails, thanks to clear tips that are filed to blend seamlessly with them.
How Long Do Gel-X Extensions Last?
If you’re looking for a nail technique that won’t chip when you wash the dishes or peel off within one week, Gel-X nails will quickly win you over. When installed correctly, the nails can last up to 3-4 weeks without any lifting, meaning no raised edges or chipping off. You may notice some growth at the base of your nail after wearing the extensions for over three weeks, but that’s also an indicator that it’s time to get your nails removed or redone (more on that ahead).
Are Gel-X Extensions Safe?
With any nail enhancement, there’s a possibility of damage to your natural nail over time with prolonged use and improper removal. However, Gel-X is a safe method for lengthening your nails. While we haven’t seen any damage from our own Gel-X nails, gel is gel, and if you pick off your extensions you could cause damage to your natural nails. Its why removal is, hands down, one of the most critical parts of the process.
