This is the formula the Aprés family was built on.

Our Signature Extend Gel is the foundation of everything related to the Gel-X® system. This original, revolutionary soft gel formula bonds Gel-X® extensions to the natural nail with perfect strength and flexibility. When applied correctly, it creates durable, long-lasting sets that are easy to soak off—making beautiful nails simple, strong, and effortless.
