What are Pro Gel Tips?

 

Different Pro Gel Tips or nail extensions shapes such as Long Coffin, Medium Square, Medium Almond, Medium Coffin, Medium Stiletto, Short Square, Short Coffin, Short Stiletto, and Short Almond.

iGel Beauty created the Pro Gel Tips to speed up the application process of nail extensions. The Pro Gel Tips are pre-shaped or pre-sculpted nail extensions made of ABS plastic, so you don't have to spend much time and energy shaping and filing your nails to get the desired form. Because Pro Gel Tips are designed to be versatile for any nail art, they can be customized for dip, gel, or acrylic applications, making these tips a favorite among iGel Beauties.

Our Pro Gel Tips are considered soft gel tips and are available in 9 different patterns and sizes.  Each shape offers a unique look and style, allowing you to express your creativity. Note that our sizing is in reverse order, with size 9 as the smallest. 

 

Here are the 9 Pro Gel Tips:
