Apres nails often refer to a type of nail enhancement using the Apres Gel-X system, which is popular among nail technicians and clients for its natural-looking results and less damaging process compared to traditional acrylics. The system uses gel tips that are adhered to the natural nail using a gel adhesive. It's celebrated for its ease of application, the variety of shapes and lengths available, and the ability to customize designs. After application, the nails can be painted like natural nails, and the result is durable, lightweight, and looks very natural. The system is also quicker and emits less odor than acrylic nail applications, making it a popular choice in modern nail salons.
