Apres Refill Tips - Natural Stiletto Short (2.0)

Apres Refill Tips - Natural Stiletto Short (2.0)

Restock your high-turnover sizes on demand and eliminate excess salon inventory. The Aprés Gel-X® 2.0 Natural Stiletto Short Refill Bags provide professional nail artists with individual replacement sizes so you never run out during service or need to purchase unnecessary full-box kits.

Upgraded with Aprés' 2.0 structural design, these tips feature a microscopically thin base edge that blends flush against the cuticle line with minimal filing required, paired with a reinforced free edge for daily durability. The Natural line is molded with a flatter profile and gentle C-curve, engineered specifically for clients with flatter or broader natural nail beds to ensure a snug, gap-free, and lift-resistant fit.

Key Features & Benefits

• Natural Flatter C-Curve: Built with a flatter contour to fit broad or flat nail beds comfortably, preventing tension, air bubbles, and premature edge lifting.

• Refined 2.0 Edge Design: Razor-thin base creates an invisible transition at the cuticle line, drastically reducing e-file shaping and blending time.

• Edgy Yet Practical Length: Combines a sharp stiletto point with a functional, manageable short length for comfortable everyday wear.

• 100% Genuine Soft Gel Formula: Delivers flexible impact resistance and fracture durability; soaks off completely in acetone with zero damage to the natural nail.

• Cost-Efficient 50-Piece Packs: Replenish only your most popular numbered sizes individually to keep stations organized and reduce supply waste.

• Complete System Integration: Formulated to bond seamlessly with Aprés pH Bonder, Non-Acidic Gel Primer, and the complete Extend Gel lineup.

How to Apply

1. Prep the Natural Nail: Perform standard dry manicure prep, remove surface shine with a soft buffer, and cleanse thoroughly with an alcohol wipe.

2. Dehydrate & Prime: Apply a thin layer of Aprés pH Bonder, followed by Aprés Non-Acidic Gel Primer.

3. Foundation Layer: Brush a thin, even coat of Extend Gel over the natural nail plate and cure in an LED lamp for 30 seconds.

4. Prep Tip Underside: Chemically etch the interior contact area using Aprés Gel-X Prep or gently buff with a fine sanding band.

5. Set & Flash Cure: Place a bead of Extend Gel inside the base of the tip. Align at a 45° angle near the cuticle, press gently forward toward the free edge to guide gel without air bubbles, and flash cure for 10–15 seconds.

6. Full Cure & Finish: Complete a full 30–60 second cure under a standard LED lamp. Refine sidewalls if necessary, then proceed with gel polish or nail art.
