If you want added length, I offer two kinds of extensions: Apres Gel-X and dual form hard gel. Both are beautiful. They are just built differently, so here is how to choose.
Gel-X: lightweight, full-coverage tips
Gel-X uses Apres soft gel tips that cover the whole nail. They feel light and flexible, and they are a good choice when you want length without weight. They come in lengths from XS to XXL.
Dual form: sculpted hard gel, no tips
Dual form extensions are sculpted with hard gel using dual forms, building length and structure right over your natural nail. There are no tips. The result is a strong, customizable extension with a seamless, natural-looking finish, in a range of lengths and shapes.
