Gel-X is a soft gel extension. It's a full-cover tip that's already shaped, attached with gel and cured under a lamp.
It feels lighter than acrylic. It's thin and natural-looking at the cuticle. And it comes off with a soak instead of heavy filing.
Gel-X nails are pre-shaped soft gel tips that cover the whole nail. We size each tip to your nail, attach it with gel, cure it under an LED lamp, then add color or art. You're getting length and shape in one step, with a lot less filing than a sculpted acrylic set needs.
Short sets, long sets, square or almond: Gel-X handles all of them. For extra-long or stiletto shapes, we'll often steer you toward acrylic because it's stronger at that length.
Gel-X usually lasts about 3 to 4 weeks before natural growth starts showing at the cuticle. Then you can soak them off and get a fresh set. If your hands are in water all day, or you're tough on your nails at work, plan on something closer to 3 weeks between appointments.
Don't peel them off when they start to grow out. That's how nails get thin.
You'll find Gel-X nails at our Simpson Road salon, 1429 Simpson Road, Kissimmee, FL 34744. Walk in Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm, or call or text (407) 993-2089 to hold your spot. Coming from Lake Nona or Eagle Creek, you can book our Waterbridge studio, appointment only from November 1, 2026.

It depends on what you want. Gel-X feels lighter and more flexible, looks natural at the cuticle, and soaks off without a drill. Acrylic is stronger for very long, sculpted or stiletto sets, and if you're unsure, show us your nails and we'll tell you honestly.
Compare the two side by side on our acrylic full sets and fills page.
Gel-X prices at our two Kissimmee-area salons depend on length, shape and any art you add. A plain solid-color set costs less than chrome, ombré or hand-painted designs. Call or text (407) 993-2089 with a photo of the look you're after, and we'll give you a price up front.

Not when it's soaked off. The tips come off without heavy filing, which is easier on your natural nail. Peeling them off at home is what does the damage, so please don't.
Yes. French tips, ombré, chrome, decals and hand-painted designs all work on Gel-X, the same as on acrylic.

“I've been a regular at this salon for months now, and I couldn't be happier! They are incredibly dedicated to making sure each client’s vision is brought to life. The atmosphere is always so relaxing and inviting, and the quality of their work is consistently flawless. Anytime I bring Nina nail inspiration photos, she recreates it beautifully, sometimes even better than the original!”
“Ms. Nina made my experience so worth it. I wanted something really simple, and showed her a picture of my desired design. She gave me exactly what I wanted, and she communicates with you as she serves, making sure you're getting the length and colors you want accurately.”
“Nina was very thorough, sweet, and accommodating. Despite a very difficult nail repair, she did a great job. I'm very pleased with my nails and will definitely be going back to Nina for my nails.”
Walk in at Simpson Road, Monday to Saturday from 10am to 5pm. Or text ahead and we'll hold your spot.
