Gel-X Nails: A Comprehensive Overview

Gel-X nails are a type of artificial nail enhancement made from gel polish. They're known for their ease of application, durability, and natural look.

• What are Gel-X Nails? Gel-X nails are pre-shaped nail extensions made entirely of gel. They cover the entire nail bed and are adhered using a special LED or UV-cured gel adhesive. They're a full-cover system, meaning they completely cover the natural nail. What%20are%20Gel-X%20Nails
